Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

Myself and my wife visited this restaurant in the first week it opened over 30 years ago. We now live in Canada, but revisit every time we return to Liverpool. It hasn't changed much, even the menu seems the same, but it's bright and cheerful and the quality and pricing is good.

This was such a disappointing restaurant. Like the previous reviewer we were shuffled upstairs, first mistake! We made a reservation and afterwards realised downstairs was a much nicer atmosphere. We were surrounded by large parties. The Duck was burned and the food came out on cold plates with no warmers. The service was terrible and I was so embarrassed to have suggested it to my family. There is so much choice in Liverpool. Don't make the same mistake I made.

recently ate and was sceptical about the change to one menu, the whole evening was fantastic. A young local student served us and was warm and friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable they should keep that young Man as long as they can. have recommended to several friends who have shared a similar experience of late and have been making the most of the pre-theatre menu on offer, think regulars like us deserve a discount though

Went here last night with my partner to see what all the fuss was about re the "Wednesday Night Offer". At first sight 2 courses and a bottle of wine each for £12.95 seems great. To be honest, I was slightly disappointed. Most of the decent stuff on the main course menu carries a supplement of at least £2 so you are left with chicken, roast pork or pasta. However, I chose a sirloin steak which was ok but my partner chose the roast pork with crackling which ended up actually as a large piece of belly pork. It was at least 60% fat/rind, and what little meat there was, was undercooked. The crackling did not exist. To add to this our pan of vegetables was slightly undercooked - I like crisp vegetables, but these were verging on hard. Upon bringing this issue to the attention of the waitress, she simply shrugged (we later found out that she had in fact told the duty manager but he had not approached us before going off duty). Our 2nd course was acceptable (Apple Crumble & (powdered) Custard/ Cheese Board). It took three attempts to get the bill and we ended up putting on our coats to simply get attention. We put our complaints to the new duty manager who apologised and reduced the bill by £5. Another reason for going to Bistro Pierre was to sound it out for our works xmas meal. Maybe it was just a bad time for us, but I wont be returning or recommending the place.

Went to Osqa's tonight and had a fabulous evening. Food was delicious!!! I had kingfish and my partner had the fillet steak with pepper sauce. Restaurant is gorgeous, staff are lovely and attentive and most of all the bill didn't break the bank!!!(happy hubby) Will indeed be revisiting very soon.

My partner and I went to the Mayur last Friday. The staff were friendly and polite and the decor very pleasant but we found the food to be very average. We did not have starters so cannot comment on those. We had one vegetarian (cottage cheese and spinach dumplings) and one king prawn main course ), both of which were quite bland. We had one dessert (gulab jamun) which was also disappointing, it just tasted like a piece of very ordinary sponge with very ordinary vanilla ice-cream. Even more off-putting however was the fact that the restaurant was very noisy which we thought must be due to the acoustics of the building as we were not sitting in the middle of lots of people (it is a big restaurant so naturally you expect a certain amount of noise but this seemed unusual). We had to practically shout our orders to the waiter and could not hear each other above the din. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

We have been visiting Villa Romano for many years now, For our Anniversary, before we go the theatre. or for lunch after a hard morning shopping. never been disappointed. whether a pizza or a fancy 3 course meal. I cant recommend it highly enough. Neil & Co keep up the good work.

Probably a touch more expensive than most of its Chinatown neighbours, but worth it. The food is excellent, fresh ingredients and no MSG glazed meats. Not only was the food great, but the staff were attentive and engaging. I've lived in Liverpool for nearly 10 years, and this place is undoubtedly the best of all the Chinese restaurants I've tried. Only Yuet Ben (Upper Duke Street)come close.

lovely, lovely ,lovely. We were made to feel welcome ,looked after very well ,the food was excellent ,cant wait to return. thank you il forno

I'm not one to complain - and I understand eateries have off nights. However, Kimos last night (06-10-07) was extremely poor. We waited one hour for our starters and a further 45 minutes for our main course - with no explanation of the delay. Three out of the four main meals were delivered out together, leaving one of our party without food. After enquiring, ten minutes later the fourth meal arrived - a vegetarian meal that unfortunately once tasted turned out to have chicken in it - a veggies nightmare come true! We weren't the only party to have issues with the service last night - and I put it down to an off night by the staff and kitchen. We've eaten there on numerous occasions, but that will be the last time.

booked a table at ll forno for last tuesday night at 8pm for my girlfriends birthday was seated at my table at 8 was still sitting there at 8.30 with no service of an offer of a drink or anything ! ll forno was not very busy as it was a tuesday night there might have been about a dozen people at most in there. i have to say the service is the worst i have ever seen as for the food i would not know because we left and went next door to the sapporo teppanyaki were the service and food were fantastic .

We visited this for the third time this year last week and, as ever, food was fantastically tasty and enjoyable. Even though it was a Thursday, there was a steady stream of people coming into the restaurant creating a pleasant atmosphere. I love the place!

ATE AT SAVINA TWICE AND WILL BE GOING AGAIN!!IT IS A MUST IF YOU LOVE MEXICAN FOOD,LOVELY ATMOSPHERE AND THE STAFF ARE VERY ATTENTIVE!!!RECOMMEND FAJITAS AND POLLO COCONUT...ENJOY!!!

gR8! try tonight, 2morow or whenever - been with my hubby tonight, loved it all. Simple food, soooooo relaxed, very very good. this was a lucky, lucky find :-)

On Saturday my girlfriend and I went back to Alma de Cuba a year after we met there. We had heard that the food was excellent, and we weren't disappointed. Excellent was an understatement! The staff were very attentive, the atmosphere and surroundings fitted the special occasion perfectly, and we both agreed it is the best food we have had out. Ever! See you next year!

Osqa is a beautifully appointed restaurant. The food is fabulous and the staff are very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere (and the inclusion of a pianist) makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable evening!

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.

loved it, returning for Christmas.
