Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

Went to What's Cooking for a lovely evening meal. From start to finish it was great, we got really looked after by Ciaren that nothing was too much trouble for him. The food was lovely 'chilli' my husband had a 'big' burger & the desserts just finished it off well. All that said it was a lovely night food great & service with a smile what more could you want. I highly recommend

We visited What’s Cooking yesterday. The food was really good , tasty and good portions. The staff were friendly and the service was good.

Great location for the arena...had a lovely window table overlooking the dock and the service was fab...shared the Nachos between four and there was plenty to go round us all...Burgers all round for the mains and we all enjoyed them

Another visit to the Empire Theatre meant another visit to Ma E’s. Pre booking is always advisable as it gets very busy very quick! 3 of us this time, we got 1 build Ute own pizza, 1 Charlie Chaplain, swooping out 1 ingredient for something different, cheesy garlic bread and Scouse. As always the food arrived within 10 mins, it was piping hot, and delicious. 2 Coronas, 2 bud and a large Jameson & Diet Pepsi along with the food cost around £50. We’re at the Empire at least twice a month and ALWAYS choose to eat at Ma E’s beforehand, even though we live 5 mins away! The staff are always lovely & chatty, can’t say a bad word about the place. 10/10 every time.

2 of us went on Saturday afternoon. What a gem. Staff brilliant. We ended up late for our event as we didn’t want to leave! We got cheese & meat platters, soup. Coffee, soft drinks, gin all reasonably priced & tasty. Nothing to fault ;)

We were also in Liverpool (from Scotland) for a concert at the Philharmonic Hall and had an early meal. This is a very friendly restaurant with great staff and an excellent chef. My husband had the souvlaki and I had the salmon with rice and salad. My salmon was cooked to perfection and was delicious and my husband enjoyed his chicken as well. The only very slight criticism we have is that the portions were too big. We didn't think it was necessary to have both bread and rice or bread and chips in my husband's case. We hate wasting food but couldn't manage the portions. Next time we will know what to ask for. It is a very good restaurant and ideal for the Phil. Come early and have a walk round the block before the concert. Please go and enjoy.

Visited on a Friday night when restaurant was quiet, lovely window table overlooking dock with all the christnas lights.Staff were very friendly and helpful, service was great. Sharing Nachos were the best I’ve ever tasted. Would definitely visit again if up in Liverpool.

Dropped in for a meal and drinks before going to the Empire for a show. I had the most handmade pizza and my friend opted for the scouse which she said was lovely. Great atmosphere and service but advise booking a table if you’re eating there

Went for a meal before The Three Tenors at St George's Hall. Lovely and welcoming, excellent food and service. Pizza was delicious, thin and crispy, sharing platter was very filling and the scouse really good. Will definitely be back

Excellent home cooked food and very friendly and efficient staff

Great food and great service. Would love to see Afelia Pork back on the menu

Great food and excellent friendly service!

Great service, friendly staff. Delicious food and drinks. Recommend it.

We were in Liverpool for a concert at the Philharmonic Hall and the restaurant is about 50 m away. Smart but informal ambience. Very friendly and attentive staff. Wide choice of menu items - we had mixed souvlaki and lamb chops. Veggie options available. Really good. Huge portions. Complimentary brownie with whipped cream was a nice surprise. Finally, really good value for money. Would strongly recommend this place.

Lovely aesthetics, friendly quick and attentive staff. Most importantly amazing and tasty food! Best chicken gyros I've ever had! Can't wait to go back

In my 40 years of going to bars and clubs, I have never come across an attitude like the lank haired barmaid who was working on Saturday night (9th November 24). She was pig ignorant, short tempered, snappy, rude and arrogant. It was hard not to bite back, but I did politely asked her to chill out and calm down. She then glared and mumbled something under her breath about “not having to serve me”. Luckily for her, I didn’t hear it at the time, but my friend informed me of the remark after we’d left the premises. The girl oozes a lack of respect for customers (and her fellow bar staff) and should not be working in the service industry. We all have things going on in our lives, but we paint on a smile and treat people with courtesy. Another member of our party also had an issue with her over a glass of soda water. We actually spent quite a bit of money that night. Food, four bottles of wine, soft drinks, etc; but there’s no way we’d be back.

Stopped in for food and drink before seeing John Bishop at the Empire. It really is a great location for this. Able to prebook our table for 6. The food came out hot, fast and delicious! It’s a small menu, but I think that allows them to keep the quality great. The Scouse was a delicious and slightly pepped up version of what mum used to make. The pizzas were obviously hand made and just right. Drinks were reasonable. (Probably much more reasonable than the Empire!) If you want a lively pub atmosphere, with spot on food, this is the place! Staff were friendly and helpful too - even when the drink got spilled…
