Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

We visited for the second time and the food was just as nice. A perfect Sunday roast again, nice and relaxing atmosphere and again the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Came on Friday with my partner and our friend had a lovely evening the food was excellent the service was really good the fish was lovely hopefully we can come again this Saturday for lunch with family.

We had an amazing afternoon tea at the Richmond hotel. The proccesso was delicious and the fresh sandwiches and freshy made cakes and scones were to die for. We were impressed with the salmon wraps and the coronation chicken rolls, which made a nice chance from all sandwiches. There was an excellent choice in cakes to meet all tastes. The tea was hot and was of excellent quality. The air conditioning did make the environment cold, but we asked if this could be turned down, and the staff were warm, friendly and attended to our request. 100% will return to have afternoon tea here again...

Visited The Dean for an evening meal with friends recently. We were surprised how bright it was in there which did not help with the ambience of the place. The menu was surprisingly small (but not as small as the meal!) and over priced. Service was quite good but I’m afraid we were disappointed overall, especially because the prices were so high. Sorry.

Food was lovely and tasty! I had the spicy Buddha bowl (vegan) boo had a full English and then we shared the blueberry and banana pancakes. I enjoyed our cosy little afternoon. The atmosphere was great and not too over crowded. Staff seemed friendly enough and the service was fairly quick. I would go back for some coffee and cake but I think the food is a little overpriced for the amount you get... nevertheless, I was overall satisfied.

What a beautiful restaurant. The atmosphere and ambience is spot on. Service is fantastic, the staff are very friendly and attentive. The food was phenomenal, we had the lunch menu and it was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

5 out of 5 for this lovely place. The food was amazing and the waiting on team were delightful. Will definitely be back.

We ate here for lunch on 15th October with the Groupon deal , 3 course meal with bottle of wine for 2. We should have been there for dinner the night before and arrived at the booked time but unfortunately my husband took ill just as we arrived . Beth in the restaurant was lovely rearranging the reservation for the day after giving him time to recover which fortunately he did. The menu choice at the lunch was limited but we were happy with what was available and enjoyed the food. The house red was a Pinot Noir and very good. Service was friendly from the staff, sorry did not get the names , and they did check everything was okay with the meal. Our only comment to each other was they were a bit skimpy on the ice cream with the sticky toffee pudding as it did not have much sticky toffee sauce . All in all we enjoyed the food, the chatter with the staff, the setting though it was quiet as only two other couples dining. My mum would have enjoyed it for the starched real cloth napkins alone !

what an amazing space!

Nice food and atmosphere but some of the workers were rather dismissive and ‘laid back’

Food was ok but different to the menu that was advertised on groupon so not much choice. Service was not good took ages and when food came wAiter dropped the plate on table and food fell off the plate and he just walked away. Not sure I would go again.

Visited the dough bar on a Saturday evening for food and a few beers after the theatre. The service was fab, really friendly, chatty staff...excellent customer service. The beers were very nice and served in groovy glasses and the food was yummy. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

This was our second visit and did not disappoint, Went on Saturday night for double birthday celebrations, food and service was outstanding, the flavours from a simple starter of goats cheese and beetroot were indescribable, hats off to the chefs for all the food was perfection, drinks were delicious. Pianist and singer were really good, created a lovely atmosphere.

Our meal was lovely,staff was nice and ready to help when needed can highly recommend.

Nice meal. Efficient service and friendly staff. Will visit again.

Very helpful and friendly staff, good selection of food and good quality. We visited on a Saturday afternoon prior to going to Empire theatre and chose the Dough Bar as it is an ideal location for the theatre. We are in our seventies and although it was a bit noisy for us we were made welcome and felt comfortable while we were there. Will certainly go again when we visit the city.

Nice restaurant. We went for the first time on a Thursday which is possibly the quietest night. Only 3 couples in there but there was a chap on the piano which was pleasant. Here’s to the most important bit, the food. Very good, faultless in fact. I had scallops followed by belly pork. My wife had goats cheese followed by fillet steak. All presented very well and very tasty, nothing less than what you’d expect in a high end city restaurant. Staff were very good too, humorous, informative and attentive. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back, will try on a friday or Saturday next time. Probably the nearest thing you’ll get to fine dining in St. Helens so long may it continue. A credit to the owners and all the staff.
