Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Visited with my wife on Saturday evening. First impression was quite positive, nice furnishings and a welcoming host. We had cocktails at the bar and were then shown to our table. The major positive about this place is the friendly and helpful staff, but it's a little bit like close but no cigar. I asked for a Bloody Mary but was told they had to use all the tomatoes they had in the kitchen, so I couldn't have one? We ordered our food and were enjoying pleasant conversation and listening to the singer/pianist when a waitress presented us with our main course, which was meant for the adjacent table. Not a huge problem, but noteworthy in an expensive establishment. The food was good, I particularly enjoyed my scallops and the steak was tasty and cooked how I liked it. Overall though the portions are very small and dessert was hidden under a scoop of ice cream I enjoyed it but felt a little underwhelmed when we left having read so many positive reviews. I also think the lighting could be improved, bare light bulbs hanging from the ceiling don't shout out quality in a fine dining restaurant.

Celebrated our anniversary on Friday with steak night it was superb!! We ate tomahawk steak an all the sides! Food, service and atmosphere was awesome! The live entertainment was superb, cant wait to visit again!

Gorgeous food and venue. Definitely going back.

This was our second visit to the Dean , we went on opening night so felt I couldn’t comment really as you always get a few teething problems , so we decided after 7 months to give it another try well we weren’t disappointed the staff were fantastic friendly polite and the food was delicious and presented beautifully all six of us really enjoyed ourselves the flavours in the food was so different in a good way we all came away and said we will all be returning so much I booked for my mums birthday well done to all the staff the puddings are to die for !!!

This was our eighth visit to The Dean, and every visit is better than the last. Went for the steak extravaganza night, the Asian tuna tartare was out of this world and the fillet steak was hands down the best I have ever had. All staff are really friendly and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. The owners Eddie and Vicky are now like friends we have known for years. Can’t wait for New Year’s Eve

Gorgeous afternoon tea for my friends birthday. Delicious food and excellent service, especially from Beth who made it really special with attention to detail. Would definitely return. Excellent value for money also

Excellent food and staff couldnt fault x

Had a wonderful afternoon tea, cakes were amazing. the staff are really lovely and very attentive. Will definitely be returning with my Mum and sisters.

Excellent food and service before we went to see Les Miserables at the Empire. The pizzas were lovely. Would recommend.

My wife and I frequently have sunday lunch in/around St. Helens. This was the best sunday lunch we have had for a long time, dervice was friendly and helpful, atmosphere was very friendly and enjoyable

Fabulous friendly service from the young man who looked after us Food was all delicious Enjoyed our night Thank you

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.
