Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

have been going to this restaurant for 3 years on a regular basis and felt the need to write in after our last visit. it was amazing, we were celebrating a friends birthday and there were 22 of us, sometimes in large parties you can expect a slower service or one or two mistakes......not here. everything was as spot on, as good as my many other visits. the food was out of this world,especially the Normandy pork-that calvados sauce is to die for. the waitresses were really nice despite being so busy. the whole vibe is relaxed yet hustly bustly. i heard on the grape vine that it had opened another french bistro on Hardman Street which is equally as good........i'm sure it is but wild horses would not be able to drag me away from Pierre's.

heard about this place from a colleague. in their words,"once you go you cant stop".......how right they were. the evening menu is ever changing and the food is so fresh and tasty, even the free french bread on arrival.the atmosphere matches any parisienne restaurant and has a rusticand "lived in" feel.the french music,delicious food, efficient and friendly staff make for a great night out. i've just booked our 25th wedding anniversary there so as to get my husband hooked on this gallic gem.

how have i not known about this wonderful bistro before now-i could kick myself. discovered it 3 weeks ago and been back 4 times, each time was as good as the first.the daily changing menu holds your interest and so you can never get bored of the food.the food is always beautifully presented and how do they do it at such a reasonable price.the staff are lovely and nothing is too much bother for them.by far my favourite restaurant.

On entering Sakara on a Friday night, i found the atmosphere to be very relaxing and mood setting, the waitress was more than happy to help us find a suited table( as the restaurant was very busy). once we had sat down we were presented with the wine list and the menu for food. The wine list was very reasonably priced and we ordered a bottle of house wine, which on this occasion was the red 'sediba' which was a nice full bodied wine that went well with the choice of food. On ordering, the staff were very helpful to explain what ingredients made up some of the dishes(such as the 'king prawn and avocado roll' which is a type of sushi, but with cooked fish) The food came out very well presented and very well portioned. Although we dined on one of the busiest evenings, the staff were very efficient and the food was prepared quickly and of high standards. I feel that this restaurant is a must for anyone who is willing to try something different and stray away from the very usual routine 'a la carte' menu.

Never had a bad meal here at all, we go mostly for family occasions and birthdays and its really nice when they bring out a birthday cake for you for free, The plates are massive but definitely worth a visit!

Had a very good meal. staff were very friendly great atmosphere, cant wait to go back.

this restaurant is boss and so are the waiters. all of us went for bethans birthday and we had the best time ever. Nicolas is well the best restaurant.

Nice relaxed atmosphere, service was ok slow to start off with. Had to find own table and order own drinks. Friendly staff.

This was a real find, we had a first class lunch from the delicious home cooked food down to superb and stylish service. This place is a gem.

Thoroughly enjoyed an impromptu meal here last Sunday evening, everywhere else in the locality was empty yet Nicolas was packed. I was surprised we got a table. Food was fab, the garlic pizza bread was to die for. Very laid back atmosphere at this restaurant despite the amount of diners present and the staff are lovely.

The food was excellent and a good choice. the starters were enough for 2. if you order the fried mushrooms, which we had, order 1, if there is 2 of you wanting them. main courses' were very good and once again there was plenty. once we were called to our table, the service was quick and good. this was great to see as the dinner was packed and this was a Wednesday night. the service throughout the meal was faultless. to top the night, it was my daughters birthday and we got her meal free aswell as a cake. would i go again, yes. and it easy to park, with no parking fee

I think that this a wonderful place to eat and drink i would recommend going on a Wednesday night there is selected wine and whisky for a pound from Karl

Good place to go for a pub meal. The new menu offers more than just traditional pub food while still being in a pub atmosphere.

the restaurant was brilliant and the food was lovely. The waiters were dead friendly and i thought pay was boss. I give this restaurant 10/10

whole family love it, staff are great, food is lovely. we always go for birthdays, they play a "happy birthday" tape & bring you a free cake with candles all lit, kids love it.

First visit to Spire but already looking forward to going again. Best food I've had for a long time. Delicious, imaginative and very well priced. Really enjoyable night, staff friendly, good atmosphere. 10 out of 10.

went with some friends for a meal on a Friday night. The setting is fantastic and has been well thought out with added touches of church style candles and alter. The food was good and service great but would not recommend going for a meal on a Friday night if you are looking to have any sort of conversation with anyone other than the person sitting next to you (still had to shout )as the music was far too loud. Couldn? get seats in bar area downstairs either as very busy more like a night club than a restaurant. Would consider going on a quieter night. Seats in the restaurant didn? seem low but were very uncomfortable, seemed to have gone more for style than comfort.

One of the best Indian Restaurants in Liverpool. The Butter Chicken and The Goan Green Chicken are both delicious.
