Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Visited with friends on Saturday evening, 11 February. Good reviews, an inviting website and an extensive menu led us to book here for the first time. First impressions were very good, the welcome, the inviting reception area, the atmosphere. We ordered a banquet for four and service was friendly and efficient to start with. Things started very well with the appetisers, which were delicious, but gradually went downhill with a very long wait between courses when it seemed we had been forgotten for about 25 minutes. Following a reminder, the food finally arrived but was cold and unappetising; the main courses that followed were distinctly below average and again on the cold side and were mainly left uneaten. Add to this a mistake with the drinks order, the poor quality of the food, the restaurant was cold and draughty and the staff seemed to be rushed off their feet. To summarise, a very expensive mistake that we will not be repeating in the future.

we went for the hot rock buddy system which was a great experience we added starters and dessert of chocolate pot which was amazingly naughty the food was all lovely but what stood out the most was the service, so friendly and welcoming this is top of the list of why we will be going back asap atmosphere so relaxing and the prices are really good for the level of excellence they provide :)))))

Well priced, and always made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Went for lunch at the Fat Italian on Christmas Eve with a large family party. the food and atmosphere were excellent and the grilled sardines I had as a starter were one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. Highly recommended.

Been here quiet a few times now. Food is amazing, service is brilliant . Would recommend to anyone.

Run in a far too business-like fashion. We were told, on booking, that we would have to leave at 9.30. I objected to this at the time. Our bill came to £200 and I do not expect to pay that and be in the restaurant two hours. There were far too many tables and the noise was awful. We could barely hear each other .My fish was nearly raw. I would not return.There is no atmosphere.

we had lunch today, Sunday 5th November 2012. A lovely meal, well cooked and well presented. The staff were caring and catered to all of our needs. We had children in the party and they provided a children's portion of ribs which suited our four year old granddaughter down to the ground. This was our first visit, we will definitely visit again.,

Zeera is still the best( and that includes our visit to Atul Kocher which was good) and the staff, food and atmosphere cannot be beaten. Had a superb meal on Friday, when we tried the set menu. You must try it. Looking forward to our next visit on Thursday. This restaurant is a jewel in the wirral crown.

I went to Nicola's on Friday the 4th of February and am afraid to say i had a real bad experience and was left feeling embarrassed after inviting a friend all the way from town to Waterloo. I ordered Gambas and these turned out to be ex frozen, probably steamed and rubbery with a salad dressing, no garlic sauce, probably a thousand islands dressing and the presentation left lots to be desired,.... six prawns, that sauce and a withered salad on the side, then the main course was pork in a nice creamy sauce, but alas, the pork was so over cooked, it crumbled in my mouth... on complaining to the waiter, he said sorry..... and sent another waiter to attend to us..... I will definitely not be returning or recommending the restaurant..

Their vegetable fried rice is delicious. Maicee Express is a takeaway with a few solid wood tables in case you want to eat in. You can watch the food being cooked which is fun. The portions are good and it's like restaurant food at slightly higher than standard takeaway prices. It opens at 4pm on weekends. Wish it opened earlier, I'd eat lunch there regularly. Nice friendly people too.

I dined at Fraiche last week for the first time and was impressed by the discreet interior, the knowledgeable service and impeccable food - all what you would expect from a Michelin star restaurant, without the pomp.We savoured eight delicious courses, each filled with surprises and flavours that made this a truly pleasurable dining experience. The cheese selection at the end of the meal is something to behold. The three month waiting list to dine at Fraiche is justified, we have booked at once to go back - truly sensational.

Food great prices reasonable staff very friendly.would highly recommend.

Lovely place to eat. Always good offers on and the food is very nice. Staff are really lovely and the setting is great. Many family occasions have been booked here and will be in the future too. ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***

I ate here with my sister over the Christmas break, we loved it! Since we have booked for a family occasion and I have also booked another meal with a friend. Food was fabulous. Staff were lovely. Toilets were very clean and tidy and the overall restaurant was fab.Best in Crosby and surrounding area!*****HIGHLY recommended *****

Very tasty food and lovely staff - only issue for me is how hot it gets in there as it is very small. Get a seat by the door! Lovely all round though.

My Favourite Tapas restaurant ever. Excellent food. Excellent staff. Fabulous restaurant. *****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*****

We went to Nicolas the Friday before Christmas. Although they were very busy with large parties, we had excellent, attentive service, fantastic food with large portion sizes, and all in a lively pleasant atmosphere. The bar area has large comfy sofas to relax and chat before or after your meal. Thank you Nicolas, a lovely evening.

Hi i visited viva brazil for a meal and a couple of drinks and i thought the food was lovely.
