Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

Have been here a few times now and really enjoyed the first few times, great food and excellent service nothing to fault. However, it now seems to be becoming a popular destination for stag/hen and other large, noisy parties which totally spoil the atmosphere! On our last visit, my husband and I had to shout throughout the entire meal to be able to hear one another and we were already seated at the opposite end of the restaurant! Won't be going back any time soon.

Lovely meal for lunch, kebabs, hummous, nan bread.pleasant service, reasonable prices £26 for 2x2 courses.with a couple of drinks.will definitely return for another go.

They really need to change the name. Chilli Pot sounds like a takeaway place, and when you see the outside of the restaurant, thats what it looks like too. Its a pity, because that really doesn't do justice to the food. I went here last night with my partner, and we were impressed. The food was lovely, with really fresh and clean tastes and the service was excellent. The food was beautifully presented and the portions are generous but not overwelming, so we left pleasantly full but not stuffed. Lovely, just change the outside and the name.

This place is a joke! Very expensive, food is cooked in the microwave has no taste and the service is poor ordered based on the managers recommendation what a mistake, avoid spend your money somewhere else

This place has not changed its decor since the 60's it's like going back in time. The service is good. The food is very average or below based on what you order. This place seems to add 3 times more gravy sause than the meat, also the spices used make food taste bland, Indian food needs to taste sharp and spicy not sweet full of blended onions!

I went here with my boyfriend on Friday night, the food was good but not great, the tapas was expensive for the size but the meat was good. The thing that shocked us was the bread situation; massive pot of homous, tiny bit of bread, really disappointed! That's besides the point - its Sunday night and that was the last meal I ate because I have felt terrible ever since! Just back from the doctors - food poisoning! Swerve.

I have a Chinese friend and we go there all the time the food is excellent and we also go in the supermarket shopping food really cheap

Really enjoyed my visits to this place. Wrote a comprehensive review on my blog: www.coffeefilteruk.wordpress.comHeard mixed reviews in the past but I've only had good coffee and service here.

We took Janes mum for a meal for her birthday and were treated wonderfully. The atmosphere was relaxed but professional. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this restaurant to any of our friends, family and colleagues and next time we go we will be trying the Mezedes.

we visited her in may on a work afternoon out. only 6 of us at 3pm and we struggled to even order - never mind get extra drinks etc. it wasnt busy as it was a weekday but the waiting staff were AWFUL. we waited over 25 minutes just to get our order taken.I will go again but next time i will complain at shoddy service if i get it!

I visited the restaurant in May this year with friends,the food was lovely the staff were very friendly, and the service was excellent. I will definitely return.

Situated in the Albert Dock, it looks like a traditional French restaurant from the outside. My wife and I after a day shopping in Liverpool One were hungry and wanted to try something different. We liked the look of the place and decided to order some food for lunch. When we entered, it was busy. We managed to find a table and took a seat. Our waitress like most serving there were Eastern European, all looked like they were there doing the job to earn a living. My girlfriend ordered a chicken baguette whilst I ordered fish and chips. The food arrived after 25 mins, the baguette looked like it came from a frozen packet and nothing like a freshly made French baguette that we expected. I had a taste of my girlfriend's chicken baguette, the chicken was dry and tasteless. My fish looked as if it came our of a cheap range supermarket packet and dumped in a deep fry like my chips. It was full of grease and not like a beer battered fish that you'd hope for being in a port like Liverpool. I couldn't help noticing that the waitresses and the chef, who was a right scally from Liverpool, went about their work with no passion or enthusiasm for the food or the job. None of the staff had a smile and never bothered to ask how the food was. The Asian chap at the till who looked like the owner or the manager never asked either how the food was either, he was too busy taking my money and getting me out as fast as he could to serve other customers. The food is overpriced, is of bad quality, the seating most uncomfortable, and the restaurant feels more like a cafe. The toilets are a joke, very smelly and dirty! There are much better eating places to eat a few doors away. My advice is if you want food do yourself a favour and go somewhere else and definitely don't take your partner here. This place is rubbish!

Since my last review I sent in 2006, Mei Mei is still my favourite eating place. Good service and warm, friendly staff. Food always excellent.

Just Went For a Meal With My Family And I Really Enjoyed The Food, Atmosphere And Overall Service. I Have Been To Casa Italia Many Times Before, And Hopefully Many Times To Come!

WOW, THE FOOD IS FAB from here, check it out this is the nicest food i have ever had, super tasty and you just want more and more .

A Liverpool legend. I have been going to Ma Bo for over 35 years. I have recently started returning on business and can therefore charge any siz e of bill. However, its the best alternative to being at home and i walk past many expensive restaurants to get there. I thus charge my expenses about £15 a time. If you eat once in Liverpool make it Ma Bo. From the wonderful duck prepared at the front to the cracking noodles it is all good. Cheaper than a trip to China!

I used to eat at The Shipping Forecast about once every month, and was always very satisfied. However, I visited last week and was extremely disappointed with the standard of the food. I ordered a chicken, bacon and avocado burger with twice cooked Maris Piper chips. The burger was fine, apart from the sliver of avocado. I was very disappointed, however, that instead of twice cooked Maris Piper chips I was served greasy, floppy chips that left the paper underneath almost completely transparent. Some of the chips were almost raw. My friend ordered the fish and chips, which was also very greasy. We shared a side order of onion rings, which would be best described on the menu as just 'rings' as they were mainly chunks of greasy batter, with hardly any onion at all. It's a shame that the standard of food has slipped, as the service and atmosphere cannot be faulted in The Shipping Forecast, and if you're not eating it is a lovely place to have a drink. There is a wide selection of ales, ciders and beers at reasonable prices, and all the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is lovely and very relaxed. I will definitely be returning, but not to eat.

Me and my family love this place we have been going here for 25 years it still the same as it was way back then lovely never ever changed and still some off the same staff I close family run we get it evey week I just phone up and say can I order and they say hello jo that's how long we been eatting here we even get christmas cards enjoy urself and eat here or get take away
