Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

I visited this restaurant with 2 friends after getting addicted to Greek food in Liverpool area thanks to sugarvine in helping me to locate them. We arrived at the restaurant at around 6pm on a Tuesday evening to find the restaurant NOT really located as described "in the heart of the city, close to the Liverpool One shopping centre" 1.5 miles away to be precise. It is located on a very quiet dockside road amongst the warehouses and factory units. We found the restaurant to be very quiet in fact we were the only ones in during our 2 hour visit. We opted as we always have done at other Greek restaurants for the Mezze Banquet ( GREEK SALAD, BEETROOT SALAD, TARAMOSALATA, HOUMOUS, TAHINI, TZATZIKI, DOLMADAKIA, KEFTEDAKIA, HALOUMI LOUNTZA, KING PRAWNS, CALAMARI, SALMON COOKED IN A FAB SAUCE & MAINCOURSE LAMB CUTLETS & GRILLED MEATS ) all of which was of good quality, fresh tasting, well presented, plentiful and cooked well , we would have preferred the hot food to be heated a little more but it really wasn't a major issue, the bread was so good we had to order a second basket ( for which we didn't get charged ) , there was a few variations to the menu from what we are used to elsewhere which we liked to see and got the thumbs up for us all. The only major issue apart from confusing / misleading location, and the quite cold restaurant was the main course part of the banquet it consisted of a small quantity ( for 3 Adults ) of charcoal grilled meat & lamb chops and that was it, no accompaniment of rice or potatoes or anything ( like we usually get elsewhere ) we all agreed this let the whole experience down for us. The price for the whole meal was on par with local competitors which we found to be reasonable. Would we return...........maybe not for the only reason being the issues we had with the main course?

Went for my wife's birthday. Was disappointed with the standard of dress, in there, people wearing tracksuits, lots of swearing. Was not what I expected and was a total let down, food was also very average for the price. Would not go back

Some friends who are regular clients at your restaurant took us for a meal on Saturday evening . We had never had tapas before very impressed with meal and the service. We will definitely pay you further visits

Went to Bistro Franc with my Mum today , used to go to the sister restaurant in Button St so decided to give this a go.Very welcoming staff when we arrived , given menu and asked what we wanted to drink . We had the £7.95 for 3 courses menu .Starters of wild mushrooms and spinach in a blue cheese sauce on bruschetta. absolutely beautiful, not an overpowering cheese sauce, many different types of mushrooms, with just wilted spinach ,no overpowering tastes they all blended well.Both of us went for same main of Fillet of seabass with hollandaise sauce ,came served with veg and baby potatoes on a hot skillet.The fish had a lovely crispy skin the sauce tasted really creamy and fresh.The veg was fresh and the red cabbage cooked in red wine was a nice change.We decided to have 2 different deserts and share , we chose profiteroles and creme brulee. Crisp topping on the creme brulee and nice sauce on the profiteroles.Only thing would say could change was the plate for main course could have been hotter.And that's the only thing.Eat here you will enjoy it

I went here for new years eve with a party of six after spotting the restaurant on sugarvine. We were upgraded for free to the VIP section overlooking the palm sugar lounge which was very much appreciated. I look Thai, Indian and Chinese food and I've been to a few Thai restaurants over the years and none could even come close this place. The food melt in your mouth amazing. Trust me and go. You wont be disappointed

What a fantastic restaurant. I went here a couple of years ago when it first opened with my girlfriend and it certainly impressed. The service is of a very high standard and the food was stunning. Although I will comment about the lamb which I asked for medium and it came very rare indeed. At the time I didn't want to make a scene so I just left it. I enjoy the experience as a whole very much and would certainly recommend it for a romantic meal

Truly lovely restaurant - to look at ...but very disappointing service...the staff audibly moaned amongst themselves about the staff at the sister restaurant The Italian Club Fish while we had to call them over again as they hadn't brought one of our dishes. Won't be going back - food was nice but not good enough to chance experiencing such unprofessional service.

My partner and I visited the Tai Pan for the first time yesterday. There were a lot of Chinese diners which led us to believe the food would be really nice but i was disappointed. The food was mediocre and the service was not friendly at all.

This must be the worst restaurant in Liverpool. I have eaten here on a couple of occasions over the years it has been open. I visited there on Monday 11th January 2010 as part of the celebrations for my sons 30th birthday. The service was the poorest I have experienced after an hour and 20 mins we still hadn't had our main course and left paying for the starters and drinks. We received no apology for the poor service. the restaurant had about 9 other customers in so far from busy. The two chefs were busy having a wonderful chat in the kitchen hardly seemed to notice us leave. The staff didnt even question our cancelled order. the lost somewhere in the region of £100 business on a monday night I am sad they can afford to..... I suppose I should just say as well that the place was disgustingly dirty with staff stepping over broken glass, reams of tissue papers and white spilt fluid on the floor behind and to the side of the bar. There are lots of wonderful restaurants in Liverpool give this one a miss...........

I went to the Tai Pan restaurant for a birthday. Service from staff was very good, we had hot and sour soup for starters which was very nice, but the prawn crackers where cold and did not taste very good, then it started to falter more as we had crispy duck with steamed pancakes that had no steam and a few were like cardboard and cold. We then moved onto the mains were the plates cold, the rice and containers were also cold (not much rice for each person had to pay for another portion), the main itself only slightly warm shame because would have been very nice hot and then last hot towels which were very hot (shame the main meals weren't ).

This restaurant never fails to impress, i went again last Saturday and food was superb and fantastic service as ever !

Ate at the Quarter on sat 02/01/10. In a party of 9 and we waited 30 minutes to be seated and then it was on a bench. Food unimaginative and bland. Garlic bread was just a pitta bread warmed up & served with very little garlic infused oil. The garlic mushrooms & garlic bread consisted of 3 small mushrooms on the above described pitta bread. Only redeeming factor was fresh pasta was used in their pasta dishes, let down by using preformed chicken in the dish along with cheap bacon and the fact that the portion size would only just about fill a small child. I also object to being told a surcharge of 10% will be added to the bill as our table had over 8 people on it. Tipping is discretionary as far as I am concerned. On the whole, would not recommend it at all to anyone visiting Liverpool. Did not bother complaining at the time because, could not be bothered quite frankly as I just wanted to leave

We had a small party reception at the Tai Pan Liverpool, and had been to the one in Manchester. It was a pleasant experience, but felt it was let down by the staff that weren't good at speak English. The food was nice but compared to most Chinese restaurant foods it tasted the same, no sparks. But majority of the part did enjoy the evening. I certainly was disgusted by the toilets! And shocked by the recent read in the Manchester Evening News that the hygiene didn't match the food and hygiene, cockroaches! Im sure they have cleaned up their act, because it has already put me off!

me and my friend went for a meal 23/12/2009 and was very disappointed since we have used this restaurant many times before. the was only 3 small pieces of lamb in the curry and the rest was onions and green peppers. i had a vindaloo which was just chilli powder with no sauce or flavour. we complained at the time but they were not interested.

Always tasty, very friendly service - try the tiffin if you are feeling greedy

went to maharaja last night with two friends all had the non vegetarian banquet £22.50 each what an amazing food experience every aspect of the meal was amazing we were truly stuffed when we left due to the amount of food and the quality was outstanding the service was superb this is a must for food lovers
