Reviews in Crosby

We thought we would try out Crosby's latest restaurant offering to see how good the food really was. Unfortunately thats as good as it got. We ordered the tuna and pork main dishes. The tuna arrived under-cooked and had to be sent back. Five minutes later the same dish arrived back. Not even a fresh tuna had been used. The pork was lovely but the bed of potato mash was cold. After totting up three drinks the whole experience cost around £30. Not exactly cheap and considering the quality of the meal, it is poor value for money. Later in the evening my wife was ill. She puts that down to the tuna.

Any one who knows even a modicum about food will be aware that Crosby is a gastronomic backwater, the standards required of even the most basic restaurants are sadly lacking in this area. The one bright light can be found on the corner of endbutt lane; the Pioneer Bar and Brasserie in its first year has tried to lift the desperation felt by many locals when choosing to dine out in crosby. Its a bright modern restaurant that serves ,by far, the best food in the crosby,waterloo area,although not a great restaurant,its head and shoulders above the rest,and is improving all the time. Its reasonably priced with a good wine list,this includes the house wines.The staff are helpful and keen, but lack knowledge of the food they serve...........Its worth a visit ,the best food in the area

Dined there last Sunday . Food awful Partner had Pork Rump and the squirts for 2 days!!No one there bothered to ask us how we enjoyed the meal or we would have told them. Hand cooked chips obviously reheated! Peppercorns musty! Thought it would be a little treat, not an experience i would like to repeat. I have informed friends and colleagues not to waste their money.Very disappointing!!

Been here on 3 or 4 occasions and have had a bad experience each time. Only tried so many times because its so close to home. Examples of problems are tough lamb, forgotten orders, food taking over an hour, delivering french onion soup when ordered carrot & coriander. Soup & a sandwich consisiting of the wrong soup as described plus a tiny baguette with a sprinkle of grated cheese. A real pity as would be there weekly if they got it right

I've been twice, both in May 08. First time, I ate in the restaurant; great choice of wines and food menu is good. There was an early bird option which includes a fair selection of meals. One thing to note: you have to order sides (veg, chips/potatoes) as extra so it's not as cheap as it may seem - still, it is not too bad! The veg was just green beans - I wish they'd have told us that before we ordered two portions... Second time I went, I stayed in the lovely bar area and had some fantastic tapas - I would recommend you try it. Get there early though - this cosy venue can fill up and deservedly so as it's a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy a bite to eat.

Me my wife and my 2 son's enjoyed a wonderful evening at Pioneer last thursday. I would have to say the pork is outstanding and all the meals were very filling. We was served by 2 young ladys who are obviously trainned to a very high standard.Not only polite but always there to ensure you were having the best time you possibly could.The younger one of the two really provided 'Top Service'.

Eaten at Pionner twice, the first time we had tapas which was excellent. The second time the food improved, the staff and manager were lovely, especially when the free bottle of wine arrived

We have eaten at pioneer a few times since it opened and generally been pleased ,we also ate really good tapas in the bar .We also found the food very fresh and not too expensive .However the staff and manager are not too knowledgeable about the food there serving .The waitress was sweet and tried to please even if the manager lacked interest and knowledge about what he was selling

Had Sunday lunch there yesterday. The Sunday brunch menu was a roast or a meaty breakfast (no veggie) -you could also order off the main lunch menu if you asked but we weren't given the menu initially. The fire alarm went off several times while we were there which wasn't great. However the food was fine - good portions and all fresh and tasty - and the staff were helpful and apologetic so we're putting any probs down to teething issues. Nice and relaxed - will go back.

The food was extremely tasty and the service was outstanding. I would recommend
