    I recently had the pleasure of dining here and was a delightful experience overall. The brunch food was excellent. The service was another highlight. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. However, there were moments when the service felt a little rushed, as if they were eager to turn over tables quickly. While this didn’t significantly detract from the experience, a slightly more relaxed pace would have been appreciated. Despite that minor issue, the overall experience was fantastic. The warm atmosphere, combined with the quality of both the food and service, makes Bill’s Restaurant in Colchester a great choice for dining out. I’ll definitely be returning!
