Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I went to Antonellis with my family for a birthday about 2 months ago and was made to feel really welcome. My young waitress made sure my son had a great birthday and made a fuss of us all night, ensuring we always had drinks and making us laugh whilst taking our order. All the staff gave antonellis a laid back but still professional atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant to any one of my friends. The food was very good too (especially the home-made tiramesu)

We had dinner here on Saturday night for the first time. We were greeted at the reception and shown through to the trendy grey and red bar area where we could enjoy drinks and peruse the menu on comfy chairs or leather bar stools. Sadly the draught Pelegrino (an impressive novelty) was not available at the time but was soon restored to service. We placed our order from a sensible sized and varied menu and were shortly shown through to the restaurant area which was similarly decorated as the bar area. Comfortable leather seats, mood lighting and slightly undersized tables for all the glassware and original slate bread/butter slabs provided but very pleasant all the same. All this complemented by a wide array of (appropriate to its name) portraits and other photography and artwork. All our menu choices were superbly cooked and served by friendly and sufficiently attentive waitresses. If we had any criticisms it would be to lay off the balsamic reduction piping which came zig-zagged over each plate - (Very passe!) and teach the staff to serve and offer tasting of wine properly. It's not difficult and would improve their service levels to "excellent" if adopted. All in all a very friendly, pleasant restaurant offering good service, wine and food at sensible prices. Suffice to say we shall be back.

Our second time at The Portrait House and yet another success. This place seems to have got it right from the word go! Also evidenced by the number of repeat local customers they seem to have attracted. They offer a varied and eclectic menu which is supported by an excellent wine list and exceptionally good value house wine at £10 per bottle. Just what Hoylake was looking for. Keep up the good work.

Went for a meal with 8 girlfriends for a birthday celebration and had a great evening. I ordered the mushroom ciabatta for starters and sea bass with boiled potatoes and vegetables for mains, washed down with a very good priced pinot grigio! Had an ace night, the staff were lovely and the food and wine were gorgeous.

What can i say, Kimos is a wonderful place where i love to eat, their food is delicious, I would like to recommend Kimos to everyone, whether its for your breakfast, lunch, or evening meal Kimos is the place to be. I love this restaurant so much i hope to work here in the future.

Stumbled across this place as I was going to the beach, this is a really nice pub, the atmosphere is good and the service and bar staff are excellent. the food is top notch, 2 4 1 on meals on a week day. you have to try the 20 ounce steak though it was cooked to perfection. I am a regular every Sunday now.

Despite not having a glamorous location, the Tai Pan more than makes up for this with superb food at reasonable prices. Sunday's DimSum menu is always packed out and most evenings the restaurant is pretty busy. It's always my choice for a very decent Chinese meal and i've tried most places. I always come back to the Tai Pan. Can't wait for the July smoking ban!

What a gem of a place - I can't believe we waited this long to find out how good Paul's is. The quality of the food is superb and the staff are friendly but unobtrusive. Originally thought it would be a bit quiet on the inside but in fact its lovely, reminds me a bit of the old Kinsellas. Fine food in fab low key bistro setting!

went here for the 2nd time ever and again the whole experience was consistently good same as last time, both times i had the pollo al forno which is a lovely creamy pasta chicken bake and it is fantastic, although i have only had the same dish twice both times it was amazing and also had the garlic bread proper Italian garlic bread of course which was equally fantastic, then had the ice cream, the food is good authentic Italian food the overall experience is nothing special but if you want that then you gotta pay mega bucks this place is simply fantastic authentic Italian food with good prices and good service quick and efficient I recommend you try this place at LEAST once.

what can I say other than 'fantastic' the food here is delicious (the best creme brulee I have ever had the pleasure to taste) and the staff are very friendly and efficient! The price is outstanding and my friends and I will be back without doubt at every opportunity! A sunday lunch offer is also available which I have to say was also great value with roast lamb and all the trimmings. mmmmmm!

Every body would like to spend on their outing. But if you spend at Sapporo Teppanyaki, then its mean you got the taste for the rest of week.

I was very impressed by my first visit at tapas-tapas the atmosphere was delightful. The seafood paella was great and their selections of wines made the whole setting very Mediterranean. The manager was very helpful and always at hand and very witty. The staff were also very attentive. It was a really nice experience and it was worth the drive! I would recommend anyone to pay a visit.

this is by far the BEST restaurant in Liverpool by a long way. The chefs are fantastic. The food is very special especially the chocolate spring rolls for dessert. the manger and all the staff were very attentive and friendly. FANTASTIC

excellent food and service. anybody looking for a decent Chinese restaurant to eat then look no further than the lux garden. very good value for money.

OMG, just got home from Chilli Banana. It was sooo scrummy, yummy. We loved it. We will deffo be going again/ For first timers I'd recommend the banquet cos you get lots of lovely food to choose from. I had the hot coconut banana dessert. There are no words for it!!!!!!! I was in heaven! If you haven? been, ring them now, make a booking and try this wonderful gaffe!

I?e been here a few times and everytime i come here i get a warm welcome and excellent service (esp. when I? a bit drunk). food is always yummy! defo coming again x

I dined at Neighbourhood using my hi life card last night. I chose the steak and my partner had the chicken. The sweet mash and green beans are to die for! I will certainly be dining at the restaurant again. The staff were very attentive although a little scruffy! Definitely worth a visit. The do an early evening menu - 2 courses for £11.95 which I thought was excellent.

The food was really good here, good choice. What I liked was that you could taste the flavours, it wasn't bland like a lot of thai food can be. The wine was a bot pricey I thought, but the bottle we chose was really nice. We sat downstairs where the atmosphere was relaxed. However I felt the staff were a bit like you get in Chinese restaurants - a bit too keen to check you are ok every ten minutes, so I personally felt a bit rushed. Overall however a really good place, I would recommend it and would eat there again.
