Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

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.

came here for staff leaving party at lunch last Monday. place was heaving, unsurprising as the lunch deal is 3 courses for £6.95.at this price we were not too sure what to expect. we were amazed at the quality of all the courses and the efficiency of the waitresses. apparently this place has just opened and if my first encounter with Jacques is anything to go by it will be around for many moons to come. great scoff, lovely staff and very affordable. the atmosphere has that French sidewalk cafe feel. well worth a visit.

my husband and i are regulars on the theatre circuit and often eat pre-theatre. we were delighted to have stumbled upon this bistro at the top of harman street, a stone's throw from the Philharmonic Hall. this place is a great find for us. our first visit was on a thursday night just before a show at the Everyman and we had the "pre-theatre offre"-3 courses for £9.95. the dishes were ample portions, delightfully presented and scrummy.the staff were ever attentive and very friendly. the speed of the food being served (which is very important to us theatre goers) was perfect and we didnt have to skip or hurry desserts which is something we have had to do many times before a show, due to slow service. The bistro was extremely busy and so it should be. the constantly changing menu has all tastes covered and the prices are exceptional. we will be back again and again and again.

I've been a regular visitor to this restaurant for about 8 years. Lots of choice for pasta and pizza the one's I've had which is a lot of them have all been very nice. Starters are always nice, the mussels are always great. The fish and ,meat are also very good, the Lamb fillet is one of the best Lamb dishes anywhere. The dessert trolley is hard to ignore even if your full, very good desserts always lots of different choices. I would always recommend this place to anyone as there is so much choice and the food is lovely and not that expensive.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
