Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I have recently become a regular visitor to Liverpool. I've tried quite a few places in the town centre but have on many occasions opted to return here. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with food to rival London's Brick Lane (very hard to do!!). I would highly recommend anyone pay a visit, especially if you know what you like.

Not your average Indian restaurant. Many unusual and tasty choices you don? often find in your average Indian restaurant. Also very good for vegetarians.

Fantastic!!!! went on mothers day along with husband son no1 aged 9 ,son no2 aged 7, and mother ,the food was superb ,authentic and beautifully presented , we stayed for a good 3 hours and would highly recommend it too any one.

17 of us went to spire sat night, everything was perfect,, the service, the wine, but most of all the food. well done to everyone, for a very enjoyable night. thanks..

Great food, service, ambience & price. A must for tapas / Mediterranean food lovers. The house red rioja had quality well above standard house wines.

This is the 2nd time we have visited Othellos and once again we were not disappointed. They are very family orientated. Othello's Special Lamb is delicious as is the Othello's chicken which even our baby couldn't get enough of.

I have eaten at this place a dozen times this month, each time the food was to a very high standard. It's very light, not the msg gloop you get in most of places in China town. Pleasant service with very quick turn around of orders. Only problem is that it is so good and popular that you need to book a table for busy times. One the best eaterys in the Pool, and dirt cheap too.

The food is excellent; I recommend the fish dishes! I regularly eat at various places in Lark Lane and I would have to say this is the most expensive, but you pay for the quality of the food and pleasant surroundings.

we have been here many times, although we do try to get in for the 15% off before 7PM. Skordo stoumbi is to die for ! If this was in the city centre you would not get in. So don't tell everyone ?

Main courses are a little pricey though the light bites/starters along with a side dish are the size of a main at a fraction of the cost. They have a good selection of beers and the atmos is cosy.

I always enjoy meals at Esteban, the service is friendly and the food is great - with a wide range of dishes to choose from. I eat with my girlfriend regularly and the price ranges from around £34 to £40 - including drinks and dessert.

I have been to Chung Ku many times now - its the only Chinese restaurant in Liverpool that i actually feel so relaxed and know that staff will always be polite and professional - the view is beautiful in the evening, and I always leave there feeling great - usually I have been there with a male Chinese close friend and I never felt any judgement unlike some Asian restaurants you go to where you can encounter any thing from being ignored to practically spitting at you ! - I? not Chinese - thank you Chung Ku

I feel that Marantos' menu is too expensive for what they provide; which is essentially pub food. The service is always very good and the surroundings are pleasant.

Master Chef is by far the best Indian restaurant in Liverpool! There maybe others nearly as good quality but you will pay double. And the bring your own booze policy is awesome...don't you just love Islam! The waiters are friendly and wear the classic Indian waiter uniform....a cheesy shirt and tie, bollywood haircut and a big white smile!!! Enjoy

excellent taste and value for money

Visited on a Thursday evening and the place was busy, but not full. Service was prompt. Menu is excellent and food was well presented and delicious. Wine list is good, recommend the Cote du Rhone. Will definitely go again

We went to La Vina Saturday afternoon, 17th March around 4.00 p.m. My partner had passed by the restaurant a few times during her lunch breaks in the City centre and had remarked how lovely it looked inside so we decided to try it out. We were shown straight away to a cosy table for two by the window. Our waiter introduced himself and began explaining the menu which we thought was really helpful and impressive. We decided on a shared meat platter for two with a couple of sides from the Tapas menu. The food was very good with ample servings. We had a couple of Spanish beers with the meal and finished off with a glass of Sangria each. We were too full to manage desert. We stayed for over 90 mins and never felt rushed at all even though the restaurant was starting to fill up with early evening diners. Overall we had a superb dining experience. The food and service was excellent and we would go back again and try something else from the very varied menu.

After a few years since the last visit it was like we'd never been away! Food was excellent, service as good as ever & the prices are still incredibly reasonable. This is a thoroughly enjoyable night out & i would recommend it to anyone whether its a cosy two people or a large group. A credit to the owners, don? miss out!
