Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I have eaten here three times. Boxing Day 2006 and Christmas Day 2007 and another day in 2007. On the first two occasions I felt ripped off by the poor presentation and quality of the food being served. On the other occasion i ate there I felt the same. This pub is overpriced for the standard of quality of food served. You will get much better quality and range of meals at the newly opened Pheasant Inn, Moss Lane off the Formby bypass. We had our boxing day meal there and it was fabulous, and cost us less than the costa packet steamer!

We went on Sunday evening and the food was lovely. The staff were great with my daughter and it was a very pleasant way to spend my birthday

Visited the restaurant on a team christmas lunch. The food was great and the waitress very friendly, considering she had 12 of us to deal with. The service was a bit slow but all the meals got delivered at the same time and as on a christmas treat we didn't mind waiting too much. Have intentions of visiting there again and trying other food off the menu.

Have been to this restaurant a few times for group occasions (birthdays etc) and always found it very good value for money. The food and service have always been great with very friendly staff.

WENT ON BOXING DAY, LOVELY FOOD AND AS ALWAYS GREAT SERVICE..LOVELY PLACE TO EAT.

we must have been very unlucky to visit Alma de Cuba this Christmas Eve as the chef's must have been at home waiting for Santa and left the ghosts (said to haunt the place) to cook the meals.......I returned my stone cold, watery, grey coloured pumpkin and cumin soup and another returned their sardines on a piece of rock hard crusty bread....worse to come was the dry cardboard effect turkey!!I can't begin to describe the Christmas pudding ..it had been moulded in a batter baking tray and looked like a mini frizzby and tasted of pure grease....thankfully a few bottles of wine helped.......£155 quid down the drain we won't be going there for food anymore....maybe just drinks as the building is still worth a look.

Visited here in December with friends & had a fantastic meal with excellent service as usual, despite several large parties where eating at the same time Staff here can't do more to help and the food is beautiful, my mum even asked for extra sauce for the cheesecake which was no problem! Definitely worth a try, fantastic value set meals and also lots of choice on a la carte

The food her is always lovely - freshly made to order and actually tastes authentic! Staff are very pleasant & helpful and there's always a good atmosphere

NICE LOVELY WELCOMING REATURANT I WILL DEFINATELY BE PAYING ANOTHER VISIT

What a place! I love Spire, it's probably the best place i've been in Liverpool. It's cosy and the service has always been exceptional. The food is amazing, never had a complaint about any of the dishes i've ever tried. We have booked in for New Years Eve and i'm already licking my lips in anticipation!

We thought we would give this place a try - as the usual (U.N.I.) was shut. Firstly there was a hair in one of our starters and the salad was old and brown. The main courses were horrible, the rice had a funny smell to it the curry was bland. The only spicy thing we had was the pickle chutney. Would not recommend this place.

sorry but we as a group visited Jalons on 14th December 07 for Christmas lunch booked for 1pm. We had to knock for the door to open the place was freezing cold, the service was poor and the food - processed turkey, overcooked veg and at least 1/2 packet of salt thrown in for good measure or for taste. Desserts were no better. The place was empty -only 9 of us in for the lunch and would not allow us to move from the window area which was freezing. Not to be recommended

Nice pub, OK atmosphere, but a disgusting man for a landlord, be a nice place without him

Visited Savina at the weekend with 7 friends and we all had a great time, the food was delicious & the service was good too, particularly as it was one of the busiest weekends before Christmas. I would highly recommend Savina to anyone.

I love this place! It's not a place to go for a fancy sit down meal but a it's great for a quick, relaxed and easy meal. The portions are big and the food is cheap, but delicious. Always full of fresh veg and loads of flavour, never have any complaints. Free green tea and the fantastic portions of seaweed are my favourite.

a new menu and the food is excellent. would certainly recommend it if you like something a little different.

Food is excellent, cannot fault the food, every meal I have had is top quality and reasonably priced. Wine is excellent. My partner and I have been many times and with family. Its great for romantic or family occasions. The atmosphere is excellent, staff, you cannot fault them, staff are very efficient and attentive every time. I know very few restaurants who have the qualities:excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent staff and reasonably priced

Mezze is a friendly and pleasant little place, good staff and ambience. The food is fresh, tasty and authentic, very much reminding us of the last time we were in Turkey. It tastes clean of the usual rubbish (too much salt, msg, etc)and we had no unpleasant after effects!. This has all been true every time we have gone.
