The Bistro 81

A group of us went to dine before going to the cinema. The staff checked that we were all going to the cinema despite us sitting separately. They served us quickly and efficiently. The food was well prepared and presented, and we all had different meals. The bill came quickly when required

Had dinner before show at the theatre great food and service really enjoyed it highly recommend it

The food is to good standard the staff are friendly and helpful the only complaint I would have is that we were left a little too long to be asked for drinks after we sat down

Incredible food and service, I would highly recommend this place. A hidden gem in Wolverhampton

Excellent place for a bite to eat before going to the theatre. Lovely fresh food and elegantly made G&Ts. We will be back.

Food was lovely and staff couldn't do enough for us!

Great service and atmosphere. Delicious food! Would definitely go again!

Really nice food and the earlybird menu is a good deal. The service was good. Only downside is the noise level as it is very echoing and no soft furnishings to absorb the noise. One noisy table can spoil it for others.

Fantastic food and atmosphere as always. Will return again soon!

Delicious food that was served promptly. Very friendly efficient staff

Lovely food. Very friendly and nice atmosphere. Would def go again

Really enjoyed our visit. Very convenient for a Theatre visit

Excellent meals and service especially as we arrived late but still able to make it to the theatre on time

A really great place to eat and relax before the theatre. Never had a bad meal. Always looked after my husband due to his allergies. Good options on the menu (not too many) and good choice of drinks. Great value for money and all staff are really friendly. We highly recommend!!

Fabulous bistro. Food was gorgeous and staff are lovely. Great for pre theatre.

Lovely pre-theatre meal - the food and the service were excellent.

Friendly atmosphere and great staff. Perfect for theatre warm up!

Great evening - lovely food and service -ladies toilets rather small!

Food was delicious & service excellent. Good value for money

Would have rated service higher but had a wee bit of a wait for our mains as I chose a rack of lamb,apparently they have a small kitchen so maybe a lamb rack stretches them by the Tim you fry it ,bake it and rest it.If I were them I’d put a nice steak on the menu in its place A lot easier for the kitchen to handle Other than that it was a good meal at a great price ,would go back again

Excellent food, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, all round an enjoyable experience.

Lovely little gem of a restaurant, very close to the theatre. Fabulous service, fantastic food and great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming here again!

Lovely little place, good food and very popular! I recommend!

first time of visiting after been recommended to use and will be using again food was lovely and staff very friendly could not fault it

The food was yummy and staff very friendly. It was a wait for the food but that was because it was freshly prepared. Had lunch before going to a show and Will definitely eat there next time we go to the Grand.

Lovely freshly cooked food so accept the wait. Very good value.

Great food and wine, lovely way to spend a couple of hours before the theatre. We had catch of the day- sea bream and ariabiatta linguine, the food was fresh and tasty. Would highly recommend and will be back.

Brilliant start to a lovely afternoon at The Grand thank you

Fantastic food great staff and lovely atmosphere we have allready book to go back

Food and service excellent. Atmosphere nice, clean very convenient for the theatre

Ive been here 4 times now over a number of years and the food and hospitality is great. Very friendly and freshly cooked food, my 8 year old Daughter loved her experience there yesterday before a show and was given a little pack of sweets too, will definitely be returning. S Sadler

I think the Hungry Bristo is a wonderful,intimate restaurant. The food is excellent and fresh and the staff are welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. Excellent balance

Excellent high quality food with very knowledgeable staff who answered all our questions in friendly way. Will definitely returning to sample more of their food

Absolutely lovely food and service, very knowledgeable and adaptable for gluten free diet / options. Would definitely recommend eating here. Food was amazing and excellent quality

Excellent service and friendly staff, food was amazing as always, great atmosphere! Highly recommend.

Great food, brilliant service. Restaurant rang to ask if we didn't mind moving our reservation by 30 mins. We did and to thank us we were given the earlybird prices for our evening meal which saved us a significant portion of the bill. The food was tip top!

Four of us had a lovely pre-theatre lunch. The staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. We have been a couple of times before and will certainly go again.

Menu not matching with internet. Food far too salty. Brulee a little runny. Toilet cubicles far to small. Toilet coming away from floor. Very disappointed.

Went with friends, we missed the theatre crowd, lovely food fresh the price was good we chose the set menu Richard the owner took time to speake with us home made white chocolate cheese cake is a must.

Great service & Absolutely fantastic food. Would definitely visit again. G g g g g g gig g g g g g g g h

They were perfect! We were running late and they were completely understandable and helped us as they knew we were going to the theatre. We come here every time we go to the theatre and that won't change any time soon!

A quiet night but enjoyed our evening. Service good, but food slow to appear considering the number of people in the restaurant. Good cheese board!

Lovely food and great service. Had been for lunch before but only during week so was nice to try out on a weekend when meeting up with friends. Didn’t let us down.

Took a risk as the two of us were meeting for lunch mid way between Milton Keynes and Manchester.... Knew it was not a chain - and that can be the devil and the deep blue sea... This was out of the sea and into the sky... the service was efficient, polite, caring - but not pushy... The food, on the other hands was really great - my friend had the chicken burger and sweet potato - I had the sea bream... best chicken ever I was told. The sea bream and potatoes and mushroom and courgette and sauce was excellent... The Pinot Grigio was excellent in taste and in price.... The jaffa cake cheesecake was great and the coffee and mint tea served without a fluster. If you knew me - you'd know I would complain or compliment - this one is complimented and recommended - fresh food always tastes fresh - thanks chef...

First time eating here. The positive reviews I’d read previously were right; Great good from the Christmas menu and handy for the theatre. Highly recommended.

Starters were fine .roasted potatoes under done veg under done. Stuffing over cooked . Meat cooked well. Bit slow on service. Sadly disappointing, wont recommend or return.

Lovely three courses for a great price. My friend and I had a doubly nice night; great food and a super win for Wolves against Chelsea. Attentive server. What a night.

Nice place Pleasant staff Great food Never knew the place existed until I did a google search for restaurants near the station It’s a great find 👍 we were impressed with our lunch.

Friendly welcome. Good atmosphere Sea Bass was cooked to perfection Pea and Leek Risotto was so tasty and well worth the wait as it was cooked to order Not dry and stodgy like some I have eaten elsewhere Sticky Toffee Pudding to die for Both Wine and food were priced right Highly recommend you try

Always a good experience .. good food ..lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. I have a regular friends get together.. we always enjoy it and always look forward to it. It is consistently good.
