The Bistro 81

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.

Excellent lovely fresh food. Personal tastes catered for. A limited menu but food imaginatively cooked and presented. Pleasant and efficient service. Good value for money.

Friendly helpful staff. Lovely, well presented meal. tasty, enjoyable. Would recommend to family and friends. Limited menu but I think this adds to the experience as your not overwhelmed and the choice you do have should suit every taste.

An excellent evening. Great location for the Grand Theatre. Friendly but unobtrusive service. Not rushed but not slow. Great food and reasonable cost even without the early bird offer.

This is my second visit to this restaurant. The food was delicious at a very reasonable price. Excellent service too. A great place to go if you are then off to the theatre after

Quirky little place. Quite a small menu with limited choice but what we had was delicious, service was good & perfectly located for a quick bite before the theatre.

Visited for a pre theatre meal before Seeing a show at The Grand, so glad we did! Lovely little gem of a Bistro. You almost forget where you are. Welcoming staff, the food, although not a vast amount of choice as absolutely delicious at a great price. The wine list was good too. We will definitely be returning!!

Lovely food great attentive staff,a great place to spend an evening, visited three times in the last two weeks and it as always been great!

Very good, we had a chicken burger each, excellent, good presentation, nice flavours, liked the cosy atmosphere, it was busy, glad we booked, good coffee and the tea was spot on, highly recommended will definitely book again the next time we are in Wolverhampton, we'll done all.

As good as ever. Good food. Good service. As always made to feel welcome and at home whether you have one course or the full works

A wonderful homely bistro serving a lovely range of food for all tastes. The atmosphere is homely with friendly staff. Definitely a place to go for that bite to eat or even a drink and a snack before the theatre, which is so handy.
