Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

After moving recently to the area I decided to explore the local eateries. Blackburne House had a modern feel with a good selection of dishes to offer. I would recommend anyone to give it a try.

Having Dined at Estebans on several different occasions & with varying sizes of Parties, I can do nothing but praise the Mouth-Watering Tapas Selection, the friendly, multi-lingual & helpful Staff, not forgetting the chilled/relaxed atmosphere. Estebans isn't just a Restaurant, it's an experience!

The food is always excellent. There is always a wide range of specials to chose from and they also have an impressive range of wines

A fantastic chilled place to go to .Food was fabulous, service was great definitely one of the best places in Liverpool, well done schmooze!!

For the price this is one of the best restaurants I have visited for sometime. The food and service were excellent and compared to many restaurants in the area it cannot be faulted.

It is a beautiful restaurant - I went with my family for my 21st and it was very nice

Not the most obvious of locations but very accessible, The Station restaurant provides an intimate and relaxing dining experience. The food is modern European and it has a small but varied wine list (False Bay Shiraz is excellent). Service is always attentive and charming, but to mention again, the food is wonderful. Definitely Wirral's best kept secret.

It was the first time I have visited Oxton, I took five of my friends for a meal at Fraiche Restaurant and was pleasantly surprised, the place is lovely and very welcoming, the service was very attentive to all our needs but not too intrusive, and the food was out of this world. I attempted the taster menu which was ten courses a selection of smaller portions of the menu, I think this was a good idea for me as I always look at someone else? dish and wish I had chose that, the presentation was excellent a lot of attention to detail and the taste felt like I had been whisked of to heaven and back ten times. This will stay in my memory for a long time and I will be returning very soon.

Visited this new restaurant last week with my partner, found the menu very exciting and original surely one to watch out for, already the best I?e tasted in Merseyside, and the tasting menu is just outstanding quality, the wines are also very good value for a fine dining restaurant certainly be returning in the near future.

I took a friend here mainly because I've tried Oxton's other two restaurants and wanted something a bit different... Different is certainly what I got. The food was excellent, and the service fantastic. It's not cheap, but that's a good thing as you pay for quality. The portions appear small at first but I left Fraiche feeling comfortably full and happy, as opposed to the bloated and exhausted which I usually feel when in establishments of a different ilk. Marc Wilkinson (the Chef and proprietor) has created a unique dining environment and I would recommend the food sensations to anyone looking to dine out in style in the North West.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOOD, COMPLIMENTED BY OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND A VIBRANT AMBIENCE.

I can only echo the other comments here. I went here for the first time yesterday, for a late Sunday lunch, and will certainly be back again. Wonderfully cool, fresh interior (compared with the hot, sticky, humid air outside), superb service and food which simply could not be faulted. A gem of a place!

It's difficult to rate the "ambience" of this place, because if it was any other restaurant it could only be described as rubbish. But it isn't any other restaurant, it's the Ma Bo, and there's nowhere else like it. Sit towards the back, and look out of the window, past the elderly Chinese lady preparing the ducks, and you'd swear you were in a cafe in Shanghai, not least because a lot of the customers are ethnic Chinese (which speaks for itself). The food is unsurpassed in any Chinese restaurant I have visited - have a go at the roast duck, it's serious "melt in the mouth" stuff.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant many times and the quality of food and service is always good. It's not very large but the atmosphere is very cosy.

It was a wonderful experiance

This is seriousy good food - and wine - and fabulous value for money. I've now eaten there twice - the first time was outstanding, the second better. Great imagination in the combinations of flavours (scallops with fennel; lamb with Earl grey jelly...); extraordinary care in the sheer cooking. Wish I could do half as well! This is the best I've come across in Merseyside, by far. This wonderful restaurant is worth travelling to (I expect to run in to Paul Heathcote here, checking it ou!)- the asparagus salad with truffle (real slices!) worth selling the family silver/grandma for! The intensvely sweet puddings (and the glass of Maury with it) astounding (& I haven't a sweet tooth). I'm saving up for the next visit ! Fabulous. BTW I don't know who the chef is and I have no connection with the place - other than as an enthusiastic customer

Liverpool City Centre has been crying out for a first class restaurant such as Piccolino. I visited on a Friday lunch time and there was a real buzz in the dining room. The staff were very attentive especially to my 2 year old son but in no way intrusive. The food was fabulous. I chose Asparagus & pecorino to start, the asparagus was beautifully crisp. My Husband opted for the chicken livers - which were to die for. For our main course I chose the calves liver with onions and my husband the crispy duck - both devoured, very impressed. As for our son he had a wild mushroom risotto, we thought we may get an equal share of that - no such luck, Lewis ate the lot! Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic night out. Try it!
