TripAdvisor is full of raving reviews for the Bristol fish venue. Mark W wrote: "Terrific food, great service and a brilliant location - we were introduced by friends who live in Bristol and we loved it. We'll definitely be back, next time we're down there!"
Another said: "During a walk around the Bristol Docks we stumbled across Noah's and what a find! The staff were warm and welcoming and the lunch special of fish chips and mushy peas was delicious and very reasonably priced for a sit down meal. The menu also had more sophisticated choices and the prices were very competitive. We will definitely return here with friends and family for an evening meal."
