Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

I cannot recommend this restaurant, and will tell you why. We booked a table for lunch at 12.00 and were advised on the website to arrive 15 minutes early. We arrived at 11.45 and were shown to the lift by a very helpful concierge and arrived to be greeted by a spectacular view but no staff. After a couple of minutes a young man appeared and said we would have to go back downstairs and wait in the foyer until 12.00. We asked if we could wait in the bar area and enjoy the view. He said we could not as he was on his own but gave no other explanation. We returned to the ground floor with no intention of waiting for fifteen minutes in a cold foyer with no chairs. We expressed our disgust to the concierge who was very apologetic and offerred to book us in to another restaurant. We thanked her but declined her offer of help and went instead to the Chung Ku which also has a spectacular view across the mersey. We sent a letter of complaint to the manager but three months later have ot had the courtesy of a reply.

I went here for a late Sunday lunch. The menu had a great selection for a standard set menu. I went for the roast beef, the beef was amazing with great flavour the only niggle was that the roast potatoes tasted like they had been reheated and some of the vegetables were a little mushy, but the restaurant is very nice inside and i will revisit again!

This is a great little place, i have been coming here for years, the only down side is that they put way too much cheese on top of the main courses such as the lasagna/cannelloni and it is so hard to digest and there is no need for it, the food is delicious without it. I wouldn't say it was authentic italian - some of the past dishes are cooked within an inch of their lives, bit for the price you pay the food is hearty and the atmosphere is excellent.

Went to Spice Lounge for my husbands birthday on 2nd April with a couple of friends and have to say we ( all four of us ) were very disappointed , the service was poor we had to keep asking for drinks that we had previously ordered, the writing on the menu was so small we all struggled to read it and last but not least the prices charged were way over the top for the quality of the food. Also ten yes ten extra drinks were put on our bill ( I think they kept adding our reminders for drinks orders each time we asked ) either that or they thought we were all half cut from the races at Aintree. Would never go again. Very disappointed as this was supposed to be hubbies birthday treat,

This really is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to, and Ive been to a few!! The food was absolutely amazing and Im not that big of a fan of Japenese food. Truly authentic, full of flavour, and reasonably priced, what more can you ask for. Me and my boyfriend went on Friday, I had mixed temperura to start, OH MY GOD !! Amazing, then sirloin steak with rice and salad. He had a soup to start and a tuna steak for his main. he said he had never tasted anything as nice! 2 starters, 2 mains and a bottle of Rose came to £60. I think this is excellent. I would of paid alot more as it was that good! The staff were so nice and helpful and made us feel really welcome. I cant wait to go back.

I go here as much as I can (twice a week) since I am a student and on a budget of £30 a week, it is a very cosy place with excellent taste in music ;D and the prices are amazing, I love watching the chef in the back cooking our food, the people there are very friendly and always smiling. Just an excellent place to go to, I'd recommend it to anyone!

we went to OSQA on mothers day 22nd march 2009 as a party of 11.as anticipated we knew it would be busy even though we had booked.we had over an hours wait before we even ordered any food and had to ask for menus after we were seated because the waiter had forgot about us.it was worth the wait because the food was absolutely fab and very generous portions,even the childrens meal.a great atmosphere lovely staff and we even had the bill reduced due to our lengthy wait.cant wait to go again for a lovely roast dinner.

What a shame, the Panoramic has the potential to be a fabulous dining experience however........ A group of four of us dined at lunchtime on the 21st March for a Mothers day treat. What we hadn't forecasted was the fog making it impossible to see anything from the large windows all round the restaurant, although it was possible to imagine what a wonderful vista would have been savoured on a clear day! The staff were reserved , possibly as surprised as most of the diners at the inclement conditions, who knows? Wine list was comprehensive with prices and taste to suit everyone. The starter was a fish terrine of scallops, cod and salmon, this watery grave was tepid and raw . Well at least we could have had a glass of wine , umm , not quite, the wine being placed out of our reach. The wait wasnt excessively long before a waitress gave the group the 'permission', to have a refill. The main was chicken, carved at the table, well I think it was chicken, the portion not visible to the naked eye, Im sure I saw pink flesh. The portion possibly looked smaller than it actually was due to the discus size of the plates. On the large plate sat what probably constituted three leaves from a baby gem, with a minute portion of delicious mashed potato and balsamic vinegar, I couldn't believe 'that was it' however after a polite pause and the assistance of a magnifying glass I realised I wasn't getting anymore food. Dessert was a blackberry cheescake which was delicious, small but perfectly formed.... We then retired to savour cocktails ,which although pricey were soooo good The Panoramic will not survive on its great views(didnt see them)alone.The bill for four lunches, one bottle of wine , three cocktails came to nearly £150, which was pricey given the quality and amount . We had to return home and order a take away which was hot, plentiful and tasted wonderful. The diners initially maybe like the Liverpool weather caught up in the fog, however when the novelty ,like the fog lifts it will reveal a rather overpriced very mediocre experience. If your trying to lose a few pounds either physically or monetary the Panoramic certainly wont disappoint. The Panoramic have all the right environmental factors that should make this a fabulous experience, at present it is in fact a rather plush observational tower. Panoramic please take off the rose tinted glasses and see further than through your very large windows .

Sat 21st March 2009 Crap over priced bland food with arrogant unfriendly clumsy staff.Small portions, I mean small for a main dish and fish not cooked properly. Uncomfortable chairs........... Wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend despite the great views. There's plenty of better places to eat. Spent £160 , came home and had to order a take-away as we were still hungry.

I had my hen party at Blundell Street on the 14th March and I just wanted to say what an absolute wonderful time we all had! The food is beautifully presented and tastes just as good. The atmosphere is so relaxed, enjoyable and will definitely be going back very soon. What a great night from the staff to the food to the entertainment! Just brilliant Thank you!!!!

Dined in here on a Tuesday night. The best thing about this restaurant is the extensive choice on the menu. The tables are large and circular, wide open space. I know sometimes this works but in here - with the usual Chinese restaurant 200 watt bright lighting - it just feels awful, less intimate than a school canteen. There are plenty of staff but they are curt and miserable. Waited a long while for both starter and main. When my main was served (a really good beef dish) it was on a hot platter. A random waiter appeared without speaking, sizzled up the food in the middle of the table, then simply walked away, leaving me to stand, lean over the huge table and grab the hot platter. Worse than that, he'd allowed the spray from the sizzle to cover a vegetarian dish of my friend. The bill was expensive, as expected of a get-them-in get-them-out Chinese. Only went because Yuet Ben was closed.

I went to this restaurant for my mothers birthday. The food was very tasty and the staff took very good care of us. My mother enjoyed herself and we will definitely be going back.

Had a superb meal last night at the Monro. Well cooked with good flavours and great value for money ( £30 each including wine). Its a noisy venue with lots of atmosphere in an interesting part of town and whilst its not flash inside they are serving very good,simple food.

Wanted something different and after reading recommendations on Sugarvine went there with my husband last night, we had the Mezedes Greek banquet for 2 which was absolutely fabulous, well worth the money and would definitely have again.This is a small place but so inviting,couldn't ask for better service and even little added extras in the ladies toilets all goes along way to making this a special place to revisit!

Having been to Yo Sushi in Birmingham I was excited at the opening in Liverpool, but I was disappointed. The number of dishes on the belt was extremely limited and although you can order dishes, this was slow in coming and half the fun is grabbing stuff off the belt! Coupled with a rude and arrogant supervisor this wasn't the fun experience I'd hoped for. Certainly for Japanese food in Liverpool Etsu is your best bet, good food and service.
