Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Full of characture andthe atmosphere is full of friendly banter and happy customers. The Scouse is superb and worth every penny. Even the dated decor adds to the charm of the place. A must before going to the theatr but get there early

The best Scouse ive had in ages and the pizzas are delish. Always our choice before a show at the Empire, you cant beat it.

Love the atmosphere and service - and Ma's is the best Scouse in Liverpool! Always east there before a show at The Empire and recommend to all friends.

Amazing food, lovely staff, great service

We normally go to other Italians in Southport but thought we would have a change and try Robertos for the first time. Initially it seemed nice in there (apart from the fact it was empty and they still sat us near the toilets! I ordered the calamari which was the toughest I have ever tried, my husband had the meatballs which were really bland. The kids shared garlic pizza and you could hardly taste the garlic. By this point I was nervous for the main... My seafood marina was really bland, it was edible but I can't say I was impressed. My husband said his lasagne was ok.. kids enjoyed there bolognaise and chicken nuggets. The salt, pepper and condiments all came in a pit in little sachets (I thought the Italian way was to come with a big pepper grinder) All in all we really didn't enjoy it and won't be returning, apparently years ago this place used to be nice but has definitely gone down hill. I didn't get any Italian authentic feel at all. Waste of money and a waste of going out for tea!

Lovely atmosphere in Mr Smiths we have eaten here a few times now with friends. The staff are really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful The food is superb. Fresh ingredients, a good choice on the menu. The seabass and the burgers are delicious. Great choice of cocktails, Josh the chef always comes around to check everything is ok. A great place for a nice evening out

A favourite restaurant of ours. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The service is efficient. The food is delicious. And the free sweet dish is a great added touch. The whole experience is relaxed and the prices are very reasonable. We'll be visiting again.

Popped in last minute on Saturday evening. Food was spot on, the Awesome Beef particularly tasty. Chicken and the Sticky Rice really good too. Only leaving the atmosphere at 3 due to it being early and the place hadn't filled out so it was quite quiet. Staff were great and the food came out really quickly. Would definitely recommend this place if you like / love Thai food.

The starters was lovely the mains come my food was cold I ordered a chicken burrito. Chicken was cold rice was also cold. I was not able to tell the server as nobody come to the table and could not find a staff member.

We have been going to Whats Cooking since opening. I see changes again the chilli burger was nice but no salad garnish or proper chilli on the burger. None on it? Ribs were very nice as usual except now on a wooden board like original ones. Overall nice food just needs Chilli on burger and be great again

Absolutely amazing food was so flavoursome atmosphere was brilliant watching the food being cooked fresh - staff were so friendly nothing was too much trouble - I genuinely cannot say how much this food is brilliant - the flavours the portion sizes the value for money would highly recommend - plus the manager was so friendly an checks on all his customers making sure everything ok - brilliant night fabulous experience absolute hidden gem !

We visited on Thursday. Had booked for 4 but arrived an hour early. We were made extremely welcome. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere and ambiance was lovely. We felt it was intimate and all in all a fantastic restaurant.

When I arrived, it was clear that the staff had thought carefully about where I would be best seated (I use a wheelchair). I dressed for the occasion in a 1920's fashion and this was appreciated by the staff. I was expecting to see some flappers (yes, with an f) but they must have decided to go elsewhere that evening! The service was attentive but not intrusive, even when the place was very busy. I had the scallops to start, which were cooked (grilled, I think) to perfection. Then I had the special of the day as a main course - a fish cake coated in oats with a lovely sauce including tart caper berries for a burst of flavour. I tried the Cattier champagne - a new marque to me - and, given its reasonable price, I was pleasantly surprised by its creaminess and finish. However, that brings me on to the bar service. The champagne had not been chilled at all and took about an hour to reach a drinkable temperature. The staff immediately recognised this issue and put a bottle in the 'fridge'. The pre-dinner (i.e. dry) cocktail that I ordered had simple syrup added and was undrinkable. I had to sent it back. Although some sharpening up may be needed behind the bar, the quality of the food and the attentive service outweighed any negative experiences.

Really great restaurant. The people that work there are so friendly and the food is so lovely and reasonably priced. Highly recommend

First visit, lovely warm welcome, relaxed friendly vibe to the restaurant. Great service, very attentive, very natural, food first rate and reasonably priced. Will certainly be back
