Poking our head inside the restaurant, there appeared to be a few people so we though we would give the restaurant a try. Walking into the small and drab upstairs restaurant we almost decided to leave but decided to stay - how I wished we had left and gone to McDonalds, KFC, a greasy spoon - anywhere but Tilleys Bistro. <br /><br />After being led downstairs it became apparent that this place was stuck in the past and would fit nicely into the genre of &#39;rubbish restaurant circa 1979&#39;. Why there is a random scattering of Chelsea paraphernalia, I have no idea, and the framed old Chelsea tickets are beyond naff. As for the dust covered frogs everywhere, your guess is as good as mine. We were seated by a relatively pleasant, but slightly fearful looking girl. The source of her apparent fear soon became clear when a stompy, matronly Battleaxe (who I can only assume was one of the owners) regularly criticised her loudly in front of customers. We could certainly hear every admonishment. We ordered a starter to share which on the menu was an assortment of smoked salmon, smoked eel and poached salmon with coriander and lemon mayonnaise. We were informed by the Battleaxe that there was no smoked eel so this would be replaced by smoked mackerel. When the dish arrived it was tiny. Recognising that it was a starter for one person that was being shared, we had barely a small mouthful of each fish. At &#0194;&#0163;8.50 this was extremely overpriced. We also ordered some &#39;French bread&#39; which was a few pieces of baguette which was fine, and a dry end of a brown sandwich loaf. We were dreading our main courses and it turned out, rightly so. I ordered Cassoulet and a side-salad. The Cassoulet was tiny, under seasoned and had horrid chunks of fried bread on top. The side-salad was bland, limp and un-dressed. We also shared spaghetti with chicken livers and pesto. No spoon was forthcoming and the dish was summed up as &#39;uninspiring&#39;. <br /><br />The bill was &#0194;&#0163;54 which was beyond expensive for horrible food and small portions. We regularly eat out in a variety of restaurants all over the country and Tilleys Bistro is by far the worse. I think our experience was summed up when we paid the bill and Battleaxe asked us whether we enjoyed our meal. When telling, very politely, a fraction of dissatisfaction especially about the portion size of our starter she snapped back, &#39;well, fish is expensive you know, what do you expect?&#39; or something equally unacceptable. Why ask for feedback if you don&#39;t want to receive it? I am stunned that this place is in business. Hopefully it won&#39;t be for much longer, my only concern is that people will visit this hell-hole from abroad and believe that this is the standard of restaurant food in the UK.After struggling to find any restaurants in Bath on a Sunday night at 7pm that looked busy, we came across Tilleys Bistro and had a look at the menu.

It also seems to want to tick the health conscious ethos of modern british cuisine, hence the soba noodles (one of the main parts of its business) were extremely dry and cloying as opposed to oily, moist and soft. Neither the waiting staff nor the chefs were of Eastern descent when I was last there and it seems that they were given a couple of weeks training and left to their own devices after that. Churn and burn. The staff also have very little idea of the culture behind their food - I once asked if they served if they served sashimi, only to be asked if it was a type of pepper. If you are interested in proper noodles and Japanese cuisine, go to Yen Sushi; if you normally eat Western food and want to dabble in different form of fast food, you may like it.As the title says, this is pretty much a churn and burn noodle bar with a distinctly un-Western bent.

Imagine my relief when Yen Sushi opened its doors and filled that gap. Thankfully, my initially enthusiasm was met with equally good food and a very friendly atmosphere. Some may feel a bit put out by the lack of service (it is conveyor belt-based and booking a table in advance seems to make no difference) but provided you are prepared for this you should have fun. My one major gripe with Yen Sushi is the music: playing western R&#39;n&#39;B in a Japanese restaurant is a complete anachronism and conflicts with the authenticity of the atmosphere they try to evoke. Some J-Pop would be far more appropriate for the &#39;Urban East&#39; setting. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this to any fans of Japanese cuisine and it is important to show your support - we do not want to lose the only proper Japanese restaurant we have in the city.When I first moved to Bath, there were no Japanese restaurants at all (The Sushi Guy in Sawclose had recently closed down) so I felt somewhat despondent.

Admittedly, the entrance to the restaurant leaves something to be desired, but once inside the decor is beautiful.<br /><br />Each visit has been truly excellent - service was second to none.  The staff were attentive without being overbearing and were very friendly.<br /><br />The food was out of this world.  The sirloin steak was beautifully cooked as was the chicken.  Everything was tasty without being too spicy.  <br /><br />The wine is also excellent.<br /><br />A great little find&#33;]]></description>
