Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

This must be the worst restaurant in Liverpool. I have eaten here on a couple of occasions over the years it has been open. I visited there on Monday 11th January 2010 as part of the celebrations for my sons 30th birthday. The service was the poorest I have experienced after an hour and 20 mins we still hadn't had our main course and left paying for the starters and drinks. We received no apology for the poor service. the restaurant had about 9 other customers in so far from busy. The two chefs were busy having a wonderful chat in the kitchen hardly seemed to notice us leave. The staff didnt even question our cancelled order. the lost somewhere in the region of £100 business on a monday night I am sad they can afford to..... I suppose I should just say as well that the place was disgustingly dirty with staff stepping over broken glass, reams of tissue papers and white spilt fluid on the floor behind and to the side of the bar. There are lots of wonderful restaurants in Liverpool give this one a miss...........

An authentic Greek meal is hard to come by but that is exactly what husband and wife team Gerryand Maria provide for their customers. Their restaurant is friendly, welcoming and well cared for: the portions are generous and the menu varied and appetising. The service is as good as the food and all all a really good place to spend a pleasant evening. Enjoy!

My wife and i along with two friends who were visiting us from Australia went to the pioneer wine bar in crosby on new years eve. What a let down! we had booked for the "gourmet? " buffet and had been advised by the person taking the booking that there would be hot food also. NO hot food was available. During the evening my wife went to the toilet and came back with excrement all over her pants as some lovely person who had previously been in there had what can only be described as having "diarohea" deposited this all over the toilet floor. Absolutely disgusting, my wife reported this to the staff who were very sympathetic. my wife had to leave to go and get changed. when our Australian friend paid a visit to the toilet ater nothing had been cleaned up and the cubicle was still in this disgusting state. This is a restaurant for heavens sake,how our people supposed to enjoy their food? Needless to say we left well before midnight very embarrassed for our friends on what should have been a celebratory night. I phoned the bar when we arrived home and was promised by a staff member that a manager would phone me back. nobody has had the courtesy to do this and we will not be going back again to the pioneer nor will we be recommending it to any our friends who live in the crosby area. Our friends have now returned home and god knows what they think of our decision to go to the pioneer. Yours disgusted and ashamed.

Top sunday Lunch, worth the extra few quid. Delicious!

I went to the Tai Pan restaurant for a birthday. Service from staff was very good, we had hot and sour soup for starters which was very nice, but the prawn crackers where cold and did not taste very good, then it started to falter more as we had crispy duck with steamed pancakes that had no steam and a few were like cardboard and cold. We then moved onto the mains were the plates cold, the rice and containers were also cold (not much rice for each person had to pay for another portion), the main itself only slightly warm shame because would have been very nice hot and then last hot towels which were very hot (shame the main meals weren't ).

This restaurant never fails to impress, i went again last Saturday and food was superb and fantastic service as ever !

We had a small party reception at the Tai Pan Liverpool, and had been to the one in Manchester. It was a pleasant experience, but felt it was let down by the staff that weren't good at speak English. The food was nice but compared to most Chinese restaurant foods it tasted the same, no sparks. But majority of the part did enjoy the evening. I certainly was disgusted by the toilets! And shocked by the recent read in the Manchester Evening News that the hygiene didn't match the food and hygiene, cockroaches! Im sure they have cleaned up their act, because it has already put me off!

i went there the other week 4 my m8s birthday . boss restaurant. boss food. boss staff . especially the young sexy waiter daz love everything bout him and the restaurant i will be back there soon xxxxxxx

Ate at the Quarter on sat 02/01/10. In a party of 9 and we waited 30 minutes to be seated and then it was on a bench. Food unimaginative and bland. Garlic bread was just a pitta bread warmed up & served with very little garlic infused oil. The garlic mushrooms & garlic bread consisted of 3 small mushrooms on the above described pitta bread. Only redeeming factor was fresh pasta was used in their pasta dishes, let down by using preformed chicken in the dish along with cheap bacon and the fact that the portion size would only just about fill a small child. I also object to being told a surcharge of 10% will be added to the bill as our table had over 8 people on it. Tipping is discretionary as far as I am concerned. On the whole, would not recommend it at all to anyone visiting Liverpool. Did not bother complaining at the time because, could not be bothered quite frankly as I just wanted to leave

Karma is simply the BEST!! I loved every second of it when i was there. And i must say the staff are EXCELLENT. I would definitely recommend it to everybody. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, TASTY FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE.

Great food....Good price.... great decor.....we are going again! Only issue i have is that the food was not labelled when we went....that's just me being fussy but everything was great!

We have been visiting Tonys Pizzeria for many years and have to say that we cant get such excellent value in such a friendly environment anywhere else. Tony and Jane always make us and our family feel very welcome, the quality of the food is fabulous, Tonys famous 12 ounce steak cant be missed along with their Garlic bread and home made salad dressing, the portions are great and pastas really tasty. You must really give them a try!

dont bother with the take away menu it was 45 minutes for cold food that wasn't even what we ordered chap happy £10 nights is the extent of the service at magic spice very very disappointing

We went to the Retsina 30th Dec and it was a mistake, i opted for the speciality the "Psiton Kleftiko" if this is a speciality then??? the cut of lamb is described as being slow roased on the bone what i received was cheap cuts of lamb i would reserve for the dog!! the sauce was weak tomato based with massive chunks of garlic and ample paprika??? not rich and authentic as i had hoped. My partner opted for the chicken kebabs which in all fairness were nice but then how hard is it to marinate a few pieces of chicken and grill them??? All was served up with frozen chips (nice) and nondescript rice!!! Would i recommend this place...errrr no, a kebab from a chippy would have been more tasty!

me and my friend went for a meal 23/12/2009 and was very disappointed since we have used this restaurant many times before. the was only 3 small pieces of lamb in the curry and the rest was onions and green peppers. i had a vindaloo which was just chilli powder with no sauce or flavour. we complained at the time but they were not interested.

First class food at exceptional prices we held my parents golden wedding here and everyone remarked on the quality of the food and the friendly atmosphere. Yes perhaps the decor is a bit dated but the menu is extensive and well prepared and cooked to order and at the prices they charge it is amazing they make any profit!!!

Always tasty, very friendly service - try the tiffin if you are feeling greedy

went to maharaja last night with two friends all had the non vegetarian banquet £22.50 each what an amazing food experience every aspect of the meal was amazing we were truly stuffed when we left due to the amount of food and the quality was outstanding the service was superb this is a must for food lovers
