Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

We arrived earlier than the booking & were sat on a bench next to the "bar" while they made the table ready. No offer of a drink while we waited for 20 mins, which I thought was poor. Ambience was fine until the music from the club downstairs started, around 9pm (sat) Needless to say, it was obtrusive. Waiting staff were friendly & happy to share a joke. The food wasnt awful, but was bland & generally slightly over or undercooked depending on the dish. Its fair to say we eat better quality meals at home... Wines were fine, beer range was poor, serving only my 3 most hated beer brands, from bottles only - stella, bud or kronenberg. On the plus-side, it wasnt expensive at about twenty quid per head for 2 courses & drinks. All in all, difficult to recommend unless like us you can't get a late booking anywhere else.

I visited this restaurant last year and have been planning to go back ever since. I took my boyfriend there as a birthday surprise. We visited Liverpool for 4 days and nights from Ireland and I had spent a very long time researching which restaurant would be the best to bring someone as a birthday present. This restaurant exceeded our expectations. It is the best restaurant I have eaten in a number of years. The service is excellent and the ambiance is the best you ill get. As for the food, that speaks for itself. This restaurant is priced as it should be for a top restaurant. You will not be disappointed by this beautiful place.

loved it, returning for Christmas.

Wow - what a menu, what a place! The menu is so innovative and so varied, it really is a difficulty to chose only a few things to eat. It won't get any easier around Christmas either as I've just seen the Festive Season menu and I could eat all of it. Me and a group of friends enjoyed a banquet at Mayur. We were a fairly mixed bunch of tastes, those that love curry, those that don't and me, who can't eat nuts. We were all well catered for and thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The decor of Mayur is also amazing and complements the stunning menu. I would highly recommend Mayur for a fantastic dining experience.

Have eaten at Malmaison a number of times either with a party of friends or as an two-some and have always thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. They really do the best fish and chips !. One of the few places were the head chef is seen talking to the patrons. and taking an interest. A great night out.

We found this restaurant very disappointing. As it was busy we were sent upstairs to a large plain room that needed decorating. The service was fine, but the food was very expensive for what it was - very ordinary. It was not very hot and the restaurant did not use candle food warmers unlike many Chinese restaurants. We shall not return.

I have been here twice now on family visits to the area. One visit we had tea and cake and the other we stayed for dinner. I thought The Quarter was great both times. Being a lactose-intolerant vegetarian, I was very pleased that the chef was adaptable! I had garlic bread made with olive oil rather than butter and for my main meal I had pasta with tomato sauce, olives and sun blushed tomatoes, which was fabulous. Portions were a good size too! Sadly there were no dairy- free desserts, but I must admit that I was too full to have been able to eat one anyway! We didn't have to wait too long for our order, but I can imagine that at very busy times you might have to wait a while - but that's the compromise when you have lovely freshly made meals rather than the standard microwave stuff that you get in most places. Atmosphere was good, with a studenty, laid back feel about it. Artworks and photos adorn the walls (many for sale). I really felt comfortable here and will definitely be returning next time I'm back in Liverpool!

After reading so many promising recommendations, I decided to come here for my birthday. The service was very slow, almost none existent, and the menu was far from inspiring. I chose Halloumi for a starter which was drowned in balsamic vinegar and completely spoiled. My main was roast beef, which was acceptable and the vegetables were crisp and tasty. I did not have the experience I had expected and as Liverpool now has so many excellent eateries from which to choose, I won't return. I had high hopes from the great reviews, but for me, not on this occasion

Wow i thought Yum's was really nice the food was great! they had a wide range of selection on the starters main and most of the desserts but they only had chocolate ice cream haha! but overall this is a boss restaurant!

Everytime we book we look forward to going. The food, service and atmosphere are great. There is always someone on hand and the chefs and their shows are great. The quality of the ingredients are excellent and I'd recommend here to everyone. Children will enjoy it too, though it'll work out fairly expensive taking then, so be warned. Also it's best to book to avoid disappointment.

After reading the extensive collection of reviews posted here, I am beginning to wonder was I at the same place? The floor show is fantastic and the service is faultless, but the food was very disappointing. I had the only vegetarian main course on the menu (maybe this was the problem)and received noodles, and a very small handful of veg, cooked in tomato ketchup and pepper!cost = £11.95! Having tasted vegetarian pan Asian food in may other restaurants around the country I know they can do better!.A good night of fun, but less than average food if you don't eat meat and fish.

What a restaurant, I had my hen-night party here when it first opened, and nothing has changed since then, the food has to be the best, not something you would expect from an average mexican restaurant. I had my honeymoon in Mexico and visited some of there restaurants, there aren’t many modern mexican restaurants around but when you find one you are in for a treat. Savina is however a fantastic modern mexican restaurant, the decor in the restaurant is modern and the music and ambience is wonderful. The staff haven’t changed and the food is consistent as always. I have convinced my work colleagues to have our Christmas Party here as they are having live music on, and I can't wait. I love Savina and there should be more around the north west (I live in St Helens) I recommend Savina to everyone and wouldn’t hesitate recommending it to Sugarvine!!!! A++++'s allround!!

An excellent experience! Food was better than I expected - delightful sushi, perfect fillet steak, dessert was out of this world. Fantastic atmosphere and a must for anyone who loves japanese cooking.

Four of us went for a meal last night, I’d booked the table on Wednesday yet when we arrived they had no recollection of my reservation, although after a few minutes they found a table for us. The food did not disappoint! The service however was poor, we had the plates from our starter in front of us for nearly an hour before they were taken away without any apology, luckily we were busy chatting. Think they are having teething problems but I would return again as the food was the best in the city

One of the best Indians in Liverpool. I enjoyed my meal but it was not as hot as I expected! I picked the meal as it had two chillis next to it (the most in Mayur) as I like hot indian food but it was not as hot as I would have liked it. Can not fault the service or decor in the place, it was fantastic. They could probably do with mixing the menu up a bit for example my girlfriend would have liked chicken jalfrezi but on the menu it only came with lamb (they probably would have been happy to change it for us though if we had asked - who knows?). All in all it was a good meal but it was by no means the best Indian i've ever had.

Myself and my husband to be stumbled over the place by accident on Saturday afternoon. We decided to go in for some tapas. We where seated by the kitchen door when it was not busy and there where better tables to offer. We ordered 2 galsses of white wine and where served red. We finally got the food and the order was wrong. The staff had a disagreement in front of us. The garlic bread finally arrived and was green most off putting. There was not one dish that you could say was nice. Then the bill came and was gob smacked at the price. Over five pounds for a glass of wine! Will never visit again. Back to La Tasca in the future !

The food was very good - we went on a Saturday (party of four) having heard some great reviews. I didn't think the food was particularly pricey as it worked out at about £60 per person and we had starters, main course, dessert, bottle of wine and a couple of glasses of wine. The service was also very good, informed and attentive - no major problems here. However my experience wasn't altogether what I had expected having read all the reviews of this restaurant on sugarvine.com First problem was the Menus - they were not very straight-forward and we couldn't easily pick out where we were supposed to order from - they needed explaining to us (as well as too the couple next to us) - never mined not a problem - so-long as the foods good, right? We'd decided on starters from the Specials Menu to fine out that we'd been given the wrong Specials Menu - we had to make our selections again - granted not a major incident. Then we were told that as the restaurant had been 'very busy' that evening a number of the starters and main courses had been sold out - again not a major problem. The waiter recommended a wine (as an alternative to the Pino Grigio - which was sold out) when the alternative came it was nothing like what we'd wanted - never mind we'll make the best of it we thought. The food came and it was very good and agreed, probably the best in Liverpool but be aware - you don't get an awful lot for your money - that's okay the quality was there we thought. So after a few jokes about still being hungry, having to fill up on some toast when we got home and wondering if we'd accidentally ordered of the childrens menu we ploughed on to the desserts. Once again very nice but not a lot for your money - by this time we were all highly assumed by the quantity of food provided and in our hysterics we were joined by the couple sitting next to us, who had similar thoughts to our own (they had been brave enough to even mention the volume of food (or lack of it) to the waiter!! Mon dieu!! In summary the food is great and the surroundings loverly - would I go back again? No. On balance and considering all the above I'd get more enjoyment from visiting a cheaper restaurant (with arguably less premium branded food). Maybe be it's because I'm uncouth and lack real taste or class? Or maybe it's because I know what I like and I've got more sense than money?

From start to finish this restaurant is cool, we love it here and will definitely be returning very soon.
