Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Another visit to The Empire Theatre means another visit to Ma E’s for dinner! After years of the same ritual (at least once a month) I don’t think we’ve every had a bad meal! Menu is mainly pizza’s and but there are lighter options like salads & small bites (pizza pasty, four salad options, nachos, Bruschetta) and sharing platters like a ploughman's lunch for one person or a larger charcuterie for two. But my favourite and usually my first option is their homemade Scouse with warm crusty bread and pickled red cabbage. But with it being 27° outside we settled on sharing a ‘My Fair Lady’ and a ‘ Guys & Dolls’ instead. Which leaves room for their very tasty choice of desserts, all served with cream or ice cream. With an extensive drink menu including tea & coffee you won’t be disappointed. And you’re not going to break the bank either. And to top it all off, the staff are extremely friendly, there’s great service and the music never disappoints! Another 10/10 visit. Thank you!

Great place, staff were very attentive, food was exceptional, we had the meze, which was very good value, we took lots of it home!! Would recommend to all.

Very stylish restaurant, excellent food. Friendly attentive staff. Will return again ( was celebrating my 74th birthday with family) Thank you.

Food was nice. But service extremely rushed, table of 4 and one of the meals came out 15 mins before the rest, which is bizarre as you expect to eat with your party. The waitresses weren’t very welcoming or friendly, bill was thrown on the table at the end. Service was a let down, but the host who sat us down was lovely. Tables really close together so felt cramped

Lovely food and excellent service such a great addition to the area.

Absolutely delicious. If you want authentic Mexican food, this is your place! Lovely service too. Can’t wait to return.

Very nice food and very reasonably priced.

The food and service were excellent. The food was hot and tasty and there wasn’t a long wait between courses.

Really enjoyable meal, with very attentive waitress. Great menu choices at fairly reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Firstly the food was excellent and fantastic value for money. Minor criticisms though. We felt extremely rushed. It felt like the made plates were just being thrown at us to hurry us along. To the point where items of the mezze went cold because we couldn’t keep up. Also really found it to be very cramped with literally only cm between tables.

We always love Ma Egie's, we love it even more when we eat theirs mazing pizzas. Consistency is the key, always top notch.

Love the food great flavours and plenty of , the staff are very welcoming and friendly I’ve already been three times and will keep coming back thank you for another wonderful evening:)

We ate here for the second time on Thursday evening - food & service were very good but one thing I cannot accept and I will not visit until this changes is when ordering there are NO sides at all included in the price so everything is an additional cost making the food more expensive than any other restaurant of this type - very disappointed otherwise a good venue and good food …I would appreciate your reasoning for this ???

We often visit here when we are in Liverpool. But the service was awful despite it being empty! We sat and watched our meals sat on the passe for ages, my husbands Mexican lasagne sauce was baked to the dish it had been there that long. The manager who had taken our drinks order walked passed it three times looking at it. Clearly “not her job”. We commented to the manager who had served our drinks, she just looked blankly at us and asked if the food was cold. No, but it was dried out! The bill arrived and a 10% service charge had been added. Another colleague came to take the card payment and U pointed out that it was poor that they added a service charge after we complained about our food service (and since when is that the norm for two covers?! A table of 6 I understand). She took it off and said she would speak to the manager who turned out to be the same woman we had already complained to. Very poor service and this impacted our main course.

Fabulous from start to finish

Had a fantastic time. Second time visiting in three years. Venue was very clean (which is important for me) and has a great vibe and style. Menu selection was expansive - will need to return to try the other courses! Main courses and deserts were great - really tasty and arrived very quickly. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, on the ball, and kept returning to see how we were doing. Highly recommended. We will definitely return in the near future as it's well worth the drive into Southport for us!

This was amazing, took my fiancée for her birthday as she loves Greek and has been to several over the years. Cristakis certainly did not disappoint. The prices are good and there is plenty to choose from. The food was amazing, to the point we both agreed it was probably the best Greek we had ever had. It was very busy and it was cosy and not much space between tables but didn’t impact the atmosphere. The only very minor criticism was that our mains were delivered literally as we had finished our starters, no gap in between, it didn’t matter too much but would have liked 5 minutes in between. That said the food more than made up. The staff were super friendly and super helpful, especially as it was so busy. Will definitely be back, make sure you book as it is clearly busy every single night.
