Dado's Bistro - Shropshire

My partner and I visited this restaurant for dinner while staying at the Baron at Bucknell. My partner made a reservation over the phone after reading positive reviews online. The lady who took our call was very helpful and gave us directions that were more accurate than our GPS. We followed her instructions and arrived in about 10 minutes. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by other customers and the staff, who were all very polite and welcoming. The interior had a traditional pub vibe, which we really liked. We originally planned to order the T-bone steak, but they were out, so we went with the sirloin, which was recommended by the staff. It turned out to be one of the best steaks we've ever had, and we've tried many steakhouses across the country. The garlic butter was a perfect accompaniment, and we didn't miss the T-bone at all. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

I am lucky to live very close to Sitwell's Bistro in the arms. I have tried almost everything on the menus or on a solo visit, small group, or large party, and it has not disappointed yet. I am now trying the new menu again and I highly recommend everything I have tried so far. The curry monkfish dish is lovely and the black pudding and quail egg pudding is fabulous! Andy, Lydia, and their family are so nice: they make you feel like family! I love it!

On a beautiful Tuesday in August, my mother, our friend, and I decided to go out for a meal. In this area, not everything is open on weekdays for lunch, so I called to see if they were serving, having been there a couple of years ago. I didn't realize that the restaurant is now under different management, but after a quick search on Tripadvisor, the reviews looked good, so we made a reservation for 1pm and headed over. We were greeted by Amy, a lovely lady behind the bar. She was very friendly and couldn't do enough to help (thank you, Amy!). We then sat in the beer garden and chose our meals. We all decided on the two-course £10 menu. My mother went for the ham and potatoes, our friend chose the cod and chips, and I, being more health-conscious as I've been trying to lose weight, asked if I could possibly have the pear and blue cheese salad on the starter menu, but as a main course? Andy was happy to accommodate (thank you, Andy!). Our meals came out, brought by Lydia, who was a cheerful and friendly person and also said it was no trouble to make the salad for me (thank you, Lydia!). I was very grateful, as anyone who has dieted and eaten out will surely understand! Anyway, everything was absolutely delicious! Each meal was well presented and smelled wonderful, and I can honestly say it tasted as good as it looked! 3 very happy people. For dessert, the ladies had Eton mess, and Andy kindly made me a fruit salad with strawberries, pineapples, and pears! It wasn't on the menu, but he allowed me to have 'pud' with the others! Everything was truly wonderful and I can only say good things. We are determined to return as soon as possible to try the evening menu, which looks lovely. Andy (the chef) came out to chat with us after our meal and he was very enthusiastic and passionate about his food, which was really nice to see. He clearly cares a lot about what he serves. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere is not local. It is modern and new. However, the staff was great, very welcoming. We had food, which was very nice and at a good price. We were pleasantly surprised. We stayed and had some drinks afterwards. There was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere with good and honest food.

Our kitchen being rebuilt and fueled with fish and chips, I thought I would give it a try, especially because I enjoy bistro food. Very pleased because of the good menu, good wine, good food, and friendly service. Reasonable prices and a good variety of options. The other half went back a few days later with friends and found it very good. We will use it regularly.
