Smooth & Fire in Bristol is tucked away on a quiet street, but it's got a really vibrant atmosphere inside. The space is cozy but not cramped, with warm lighting and a fun, relaxed vibe. Looking through the photos online, I noticed the walls are decorated with colorful Caribbean artwork, which definitely adds to the feel.

Their menu is packed with Caribbean classics, but with a creative twist. They've got jerk chicken and goat curry, of course, but also some more unusual dishes I'd love to try next time. One photo shows a perfectly plated escovitch fish – it looked amazing! I went for the oxtail stew, and it was rich and flavorful, falling off the bone.

Smooth & Fire is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a fun date night. It's different from other Caribbean restaurants I've been to in Bristol because of its unique blend of traditional flavors and modern presentation. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious – what more could you want? I definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for something a bit different.
