Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

SO Salsa is so good - the tapas are all beautifully cooked and presented; the staff are friendly and attentive, and it's great value for money with a warm atmosphere - go see.

Dropped into Dr Duncans with some old rugby-playing friends of 40+ years who meet weekly to enjoy real ale in various different Liverpool pubs. 2nd round was 7 pints of Cains FA - definitely "0ff" - tasted and smelt of vinegar, so they were taken back to the bar with a polite request for an alternative beer. Bar staff not interested. Manager announced there was nothing wrong with the beer. Total lack of interest of the fact that 7 guys who had been drinking beer for over 40+ years were concerned about the beer's quality. It wasn't as if we were after a a free pint - all 7 of the returned glasses of "FA were full, less a sip! The way our request was dealt with was very poor. It was a "take it or leave it" approach. Needless to say, we all left for the nearby Crown & Mitre which is a GENUINE Real Ale Pub. Dr Duncan's is Cains' Flagship pub but the staff running it did not demonstrate much interest in customer satisfaction or competence in keeping a good beer cellar. Sorry Cain's. Your beer is great but your "front of house" pub is not doing you any favours!

Highly Recommend this excellent coffee shop owned by the brilliant owners of the previous Bella Roma. You need to visit this cafe and experience the freshly prepared food at INCREDIBLY competitive prices.

we had lunch on Sunday 5 adults 4 children i had the chicken in red wine sauce which i sent back it was a chicken thigh and a tiny drumstick this part of the chicken is all bone and the cheapest part of the chicken.i have been to your restaurant a few times,and the food has been good,our bill was a £115 any good restaurant would not have charged me for my meal,mrs gilling

Despite not being our "local" in terms of distance, Ambuja is the Indian we frequent the most, whether it's dining in or ordering a takeaway. The food and service is always perfect, and the range of freshly prepared meals are fantastic. You can order your traditional favourites such as Korma, Dhansack and Jalfrezi, but Ambuja also offer signature dishes such as Mishti Law and Sunali Machlie (Trout). We've never been let down by the rich flavours of all the meals we've tried, and the presentation of each meal is like something out of MasterChef at times. You will always leave feeling full, but not over-stuffed!

I have been to plenty of Indian restaurants but the TAJ is the best, i've only eaten in about 20 times i usually order a take-away. the food is exactly the same as eating in.i am a very fussy eater i don't like any fat at all on my food and i am never disappointed,go once and try but if you do you wont go anywhere else,BRILLLL.

My husband and I eat here on a Friday night. The service and food were excellent will definitely be back

i think jumbo city is the best Chinese in Liverpool the staff are amazing i always take my 2 children which could be a bit stressful but the staff are really good with them the food is always fresh and cooked to perfection i would recommend people visit jumbo city you wont be disappointed

Was a regular diner at L'Alouette in Lark Lane, sadly closed due to lease expiration. Always enjoyed our dining there due to the great food that Dave presented and I am delighted that he has found his niche in his new venue 'CAVEAU' where he continues to delight with great dishes.

After booking a table 4 weeks in advance for a big celebration we were phoned the week before and told that they could not honour our booking. The reason was they don't take large bookings on a Friday. This was after 2 phone calls and actually calling into the place to confirm. They have no customer service ability or sensibility. A lot of our party had been numerous times before but will not be returning.

After being to Tony's Italian Restaurant many times, me and my family have enjoyed the beautiful food & atmosphere, Tony & Jayne are fantastic hosts & it's the best Italian restaurant in Southport, as far as were concerned. We would not go anywhere else, the service is great and Tony & Jayne make you feel very welcome. Tony makes the best food i have tasted in Southport. I would highly recommend you to try Tony's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria.

I recommend San Carlo if you want to (re)discover true Italian food in a nice atmosphere. We had a familiar lunch on Sunday in San Carlo and it was perfect. Italian of origin, my family likes true Italian flavours so we ordered pasta, wine and desserts. It was not extravagant, it was just what we like: authentic Italian food and quality of ingredients. The staff are very warm and most of them speak Italian which has been much appreciated by my parents, always happy to discuss things in their mother tongue.

06/07/2011 Went to Surfers last night for a meal with my sister and her boyfriend. Service was excellent as usual. We all opted for the fillet steak rossini....... fabulous! Steaks just melted in the mouth. Well done Surfers. Keep it up!! Amazes me how so many people still haven't discovered this jewel in the crown of Wirral's restaurants. Don't miss out!!

Daughter had wedding their this year. Food wasn't as good as the taster session in fact it was a let down. They didn't put out the favours as requested and mixed them up with the wedding cake. Squashed the rest of the wedding cake in inappropriate boxes though I provided the right boxes. Not professional. No one taking control. though staff can speak English it was limited. They didn't follow any of our instructions. Would not recommend it for your big day, but it might be OK for a small event where there is less chance of problems. very stressful for parents. not very organised.

Went for a meal here tonight with 5 friends. Have to say it was the best meal I have had in a long time (and I eat out A LOT!). We all chose different things to try, I had the peppered seared beef to start = amazing (and a large portion too)/ I then had linguine with king prawns, chilli and garlic with olive oil which was also equally amazing. Each one of us were surprised at the size of the meals and how gorgeous they were. HIGHLY recommend here. Many thanks to the chef - you are fab. Will be back soon,

The best Turkish restaurant in the north west by far. The food is incredible. The ambience is relaxed and the staff are really friendly - all in all a tremendous dining experience. You feel like you're in Turkey when in the restaurant ! I would recommend Elif to anyone !

Went with family (2 young children inc) friendly staff couldn't be faulted for service,food great ,beer cold perfect night

"great place to eat and meet friends" Great value and the best chips in the north give it a try you will not be disappointed.
