Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Visited here twice recently, once just before xmas and on 5th Feb 2010. Although both times the food when it arrived was quite good we found the staff a bit distant and distracted. Both times there was a long wait between starters and our mains arriving and we had to ask each time when our mains were going to be served. All in all not bad but in our experience be prepared for a long wait between courses.

this was the best night out for a very long time. the 3 tenners menu is excellent . i have booked again already and only went a week ago. staff amazing i had only walked from reception to the restaurant and was asked by 6 staff did i need any help carry the car seat with my 5 month old ( hubby parking the car )and my 5 year old thought it was the best day of his life he loves hotels. the food outstanding. staff excellent kind attentive.ambitious posh and romantic even with 2 children in toe

The best around..friendly staff, Alex, Manuel from Mexico, Paolo...great team...and the cocktails are fantastic, great value for money...tasty food, Mexican beers......the music its great......mariachi...salsa lot of rhythms..........the margaritas are wooooaaaaoooo... Try it...

Meals are lovely! my favorite 3meat fried rice, char sui omellete. The salt & chilli bits hit the spot 2.

I visited this restaurant with 2 friends after getting addicted to Greek food in Liverpool area thanks to sugarvine in helping me to locate them. We arrived at the restaurant at around 6pm on a Tuesday evening to find the restaurant NOT really located as described "in the heart of the city, close to the Liverpool One shopping centre" 1.5 miles away to be precise. It is located on a very quiet dockside road amongst the warehouses and factory units. We found the restaurant to be very quiet in fact we were the only ones in during our 2 hour visit. We opted as we always have done at other Greek restaurants for the Mezze Banquet ( GREEK SALAD, BEETROOT SALAD, TARAMOSALATA, HOUMOUS, TAHINI, TZATZIKI, DOLMADAKIA, KEFTEDAKIA, HALOUMI LOUNTZA, KING PRAWNS, CALAMARI, SALMON COOKED IN A FAB SAUCE & MAINCOURSE LAMB CUTLETS & GRILLED MEATS ) all of which was of good quality, fresh tasting, well presented, plentiful and cooked well , we would have preferred the hot food to be heated a little more but it really wasn't a major issue, the bread was so good we had to order a second basket ( for which we didn't get charged ) , there was a few variations to the menu from what we are used to elsewhere which we liked to see and got the thumbs up for us all. The only major issue apart from confusing / misleading location, and the quite cold restaurant was the main course part of the banquet it consisted of a small quantity ( for 3 Adults ) of charcoal grilled meat & lamb chops and that was it, no accompaniment of rice or potatoes or anything ( like we usually get elsewhere ) we all agreed this let the whole experience down for us. The price for the whole meal was on par with local competitors which we found to be reasonable. Would we return...........maybe not for the only reason being the issues we had with the main course?

We've been going to this restaurant since it opened and every time has been a wonderful experience. The food and service is excellent. Ali is the perfect host and chef!! We'd recommend trying the Sunday buffet as it's a great opportunity to sample dishes you may not otherwise have chosen and it's also great value for money.

Thank you for the good feedback on Saturday night , it was a great night she is fab and back 26 june 2010.

Went to Dining Rooms on Saturday night to see live artist~Amy Housewine tribute night. It was the best night ever. The atmosphere was electric. Wonderful staff very efficient and happy. Food was amazing. Live act was incredible. 80+ people there and food was spot on delicious. Everyone was dancing on the spot and the whole night was unbelievable. Definitely this place has covered a niche in the market and got everything perfect. Would recommend it to everyone all ages.

the service was excellent. food superb. very clean will be highly recommending to friends and family. we have booked again for an important function my mothers 90th birthday. was recommended to us by friends am i grateful.

Great restaurant, gorgeous food, very helpful and courteous staff. Good prices and nice relaxed atmosphere!

Took our daughter here for her 18th Birthday. service was excellent, food was VERY good - (try the Cantonese king prawns-yum) would definitely return.

Went for my wife's birthday. Was disappointed with the standard of dress, in there, people wearing tracksuits, lots of swearing. Was not what I expected and was a total let down, food was also very average for the price. Would not go back

Last night was our second visit to Othello's and again we came away very well pleased. Having read the previous recommendations we can appreciate the positive comments. Some of our party have visited Greece many times and are well aware of Greek cuisine, our meals at Othello's have been examples of the best ones. We make no attempt here to describe individual courses but would mention that Gery was willing to provide a dish that was not on the more than adequate menu. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated (background Greek music was playing during our visits), and although this web site states that the restaurant was completely refurbished in 2006, the interior has a fresh appearance and may have seen more recent work. Perhaps not for those intimate dates, the room is open plan, but if you are looking for a friendly, respectable establishment, with top of the range authentic Greek food, then here it is.

We've been regulars at Esteban since it opened. Went for Sunday tapas and it was still delicious. Main bugbear though is that they've changed the tapas menu and simply deleted some items....all of which were our favourites !! Hope its a temporary change as the waitress said lots of people had asked why.

Visited here last night and have to say i was extremely disappointed. Having tried to prebook and been told we couldn't because there was only two of us but promised we would not be waiting long, we waited 50 mins whilst booked tables came in and were sat down immediately. On our arrival we were greeted by a waitress who asked us had we booked (!) and then told us we could have booked, she said we could wait and that it would be at the most half an hour. We complained to the manager after 50 minutes, who it has to be said was not interested, he then offered us a table ahead of three couples that arrived before us, this table was a barrel by the door, more suited to waiting diners, not eating a meal off! We were told it is company policy not to allow couples to pre book, well in future we won't. We left without eating wasting 1hr 20 of our evening and will not return, also we will be passing our thoughts concerning this restaurant onto our friends and colleagues.

Some friends who are regular clients at your restaurant took us for a meal on Saturday evening . We had never had tapas before very impressed with meal and the service. We will definitely pay you further visits

I have been to lots of different restaurants all over wirral and Chester and this is by far the best , the staff are fantastic try the shabarni jalfrezi on the specials , ten out of ten don't bother going anywhere else.
