Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

5 star

The food is unbelievable. Really enjoyed and will definitely be back. It is a very small restaurant so has a quiet relaxed atmosphere which we enjoyed.

Fabulous Sunday lunch in the most beautiful setting. Great choice of zero alcohol beverages for a pregnant lady and we cannot rate the staff more highly - it all went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely afternoon. We have already booked again for next week.

This was my first time eating at Goya and it certainly lived up to it's reputation. The food was stunning (the starter platter for one is a must!) and the service was very friendly. Will 100% go back.

Food was absolutely gorgeous and the staff are extreme helpful and attentive.

Nice food and very pleasant service. Menu similar to previous owners but not up to same high standard of cuisine. Very over priced in relation to standard of cuisine and portion sizes.

As a tourist, who was eager to experience the food and ambient I had seen online, I felt very unwelcome there. Wasn't really sure where to sit or order, and the staff thought it would be funnier to laugh of the jokes from another customer about my broken english than bothering to help me and my wife in any way. But that's ok, if it's a place only for locals to have drinks, we wouldn't want to be there as well, so we left after a few minutes. Thankfully this was an exception in Liverpool, and throughout our stay, we found many other places with staff that are friendly and kind to everyone, not just their regular customers.

Our first visit to Elif and it was excellent. Amazing food, great service. Large portions which we couldn't finish. A lovely evening, can't wait to return.

What a hidden gem this is. Amazed at the price for the cocktails and the food was really good. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Definitely coming back again would highly recommend x

Food excellent as always with friendly staff. The only off putting thing was the woman on next table vaping constantly. Mentioned to waiter who said he wasn’t sure what restaurant policy was. A bit off putting to say the least

Visited here for the first time last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed all 3 courses! My fillet steak was amazing and the salted caramel panna cotta, wow! My partner had a pizza, it was supposed to be spicy but he said it was very bland, that was the only negative but that wouldn’t stop us going back! Service was great too, very friendly!

Amazing food as always and the staff were absolutely brilliant with my children too

This restaurant is in a great position, over looking the docks. There were plenty of tables available that surprised us as it was a beautifully sunny evening and the docks were very busy. However, the food was overpriced, cold and mediocre and that is why there was availability, we should’ve known really. Used to be amazing, sadly gone very downhill.

There were 4 of us having 3 courses. Ribs brilliant. Really nice main courses and the best Afogato anywhere although possibly not the same quantity of ice cream as usual... but still amazing! Super staff. Always good. Only suggestion is to update the carpet into the 21st century... it's awful

As always the staff are friendly and accommodating, and the food absolutely gorgeous!

The food is ridiculously good!! Cant wait to go back. Great service and atmosphere x

Excellent, friendly, attentive service. Lovely atmosphere and decoration. You really feel you are dining in Italy. Very clean. Food and drinks are very good value. Home cooking with seasonal ingredients. Visited many times with husband and also with a group of ladies 'who like to lunch' Never disappointed. Always impressed. Will be returning.
