Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Fourteen of us visited on Saturday for a family birthday.Nothing was too much trouble - even with the odd fussy eater! - and the fact that a couple of guests had to leave early did not cause any problems to the attentive staff as they were served separately.Whether we asked for drinks or extras to the meal, they were brought immediately and always with a smile and the young staff, one male one female were a delight, coping with a busy restaurant with smiles on their faces.We have been visiting this restaurant for many years and have never had a bad experience, but it was noticeable that the people who had not been there before were already planning to come back again soon and were sorry they had never visited before They even called a taxi for us at the end of the night and for what we ate and drank, the bill was very reasonable.Give it t a try!

I have been to the Blue Anchor pub for many special occasions over the years and have found it to be a lovely pub. Food good but when me and my family went for my 12 year old birthday meal I ordered a Vegatarian curry and was served a meat curry. When I told staff they said the chef must of got them mixed up as the two bags looked the same and they would give me the veg curry. A few mins later the waitress presented me with a bowl of veg curry, bearing in mind I had no plate in front of me as I returned my plate. So I asked for a refund. I was not happy and my family want be going back again .

Popped in tonight for the early bird menu £9.95 and what a delight. I had pate served on crostini with sweet jam and a little salad and followed with the suckling pig which was served with mash and a wonderful sauce, my companion had smoked fishcake with a small salad and then slow braised beef in rich sauce. all served with a medley of several veggies.lovely food, friendly staff and I recognised the amiable owner from a previous Formby restaurant and at the price really splendid value. The a la carte menu is not massive but offers differing taste sensations, cracking value and I hope a return visit soon. Well recommended

I went yesterday to Bacchus Taverna with an old friend. We both had Kleftiko (lamb with rice and potatoes) and it was so tender it melt in the mouth!!!! Fantastic meal, lovely atmosphere, beautiful traditional Greek songs (not too loud, just loud enough to hear the music and the conversation with my friend), lovely, lovely, lovely evening!!!!! Thank you, I will be coming again!!!!

Had a family meal in the ying wah, highly recomended, the food was amazing and staff where superb and friendly as well, all of us was talking about going back again as we loved everything about it, staff, banquets, etc 5******

This is my sons favorite Restaurant and he will choose here every time. Great food , friendly staff but could do with turning the heating up.

Esteban was the first tapas I'd tried and I was really suprised at how good it was. Will be going back for more.

Went to Zorbas 20 yrs ago and the food is as good today as it was back then. Friendly staff good atmosphere and food to go back for time and time again.

My brother has been several times before and loved the place, so four of us went on Saturday. The decor was lovely and staff very friendly and we had no complaints about the starters. The main course was something else though. Three of us ordered the rib eye steaks and they were awful. The appear to have been grilled in such a way that removed every ounce of moisture from the meat and and they were also barely warm. To be honest, I have had better steaks in a two for £12.00 offer in a pub. Just not acceptable as they cost just under £20.00 each.

Had lunch there today Friday 14th February with a friend. Had beef in ale Pie. Don't know who put the meat in but someone must have taken it out again, only three pieces of meat in it with thick awful gravy, the mash also tasted like instant mash. My friend had the lasagne (which she has had before) was dried up and seemed to have been over reheated. Would not recommend to anyone these meals. In fact won't be eating there again.

One to avoid.

Just celebrated my 60th birthday with family and friends at the Royal Hotel and as always it was fantastic. The food was superb and nothing was too much trouble for the waiting staff. A big special thank you to Jeff who always makes you very welcome, why would you want to eat anywhere else?

Love love love this restaurant!!!! Been living in London for the past 5 months and havnt found a restaurant quite like it!!! Food is amazing and can't beat the staff, especially the legendary Ozzie!!! :-)

Tried this restaurant after hearing all the good reviews. The food was awful beer was flat. And me and my girlfriend ended up with food poisoning so bad we where vomiting and had diarrhoea for 2 days. Dirty horrible restaurant best avoided.

We travel to Liverpool from Devon every month to see the Reds and always eat in the Bacchaus.This is a lovely warm friendly restaurant.The kitchen is on view so you can see how clean and hygienic the restaurant is for yourself..This evening I had lamp which was melt in the mouth delicious and tender,my husband had Moussaka,it came piping hot with a lovely side dish of roast potatoes,rice and a green vegetable.the food is always beautifully served and very reasonably priced.the ambiance and decor are very much in keeping with any restaurant I have visited in Greece.
