Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

First class restaurant - I had Mussells to start with and Lamb for my main course - absolutely gorgeous. I am not a wine drinker but there appears to be a pretty comprehensive wine list. Would recommend a visit - this is 20 yards from Birkdale Train station and there are several bars near by.

Went to Estebans today (August bank holiday) for late lunch with parents and partner. It was lovely to dine outside on the spacious patio area, just like being abroad but with the buzz of Lark Lane and the relaxed lazy Sunday ambience of the restaurant as a backdrop. We ordered a large selection of tapas and a lovely bottle of rioja. The tapas were delicious, generously sized and very tasty. There was a wide range to choose from, with ones not found on the menu at some of the more well known tapas chains. Also, the service was attentive and courteous but unobtrusive which reflected the relaxed Sunday afternoon ambience of the restaurant today. My guests had not been before and all have commented on how much they enjoyed the food and the visit today. I was paying today and I was very impressed at the cost of the meal as we ordered a lot and had wine and coffees. It came to £20 per head which I thought was excellent considering the quality and quantity of our meal.

I ate here recently and the food is very poor. It was very poor quality. For example the steak and ale pie was full of lumps of fat and gristle. The fish pie with 'king prawns', turned out to be a frozen prawn and potato pie with no trace of fish, or king prawns for that matter. The food is cheap, but even at those prices I would rather not bother. Not recommended

Another fantastic meal at Zorba's, the best Greek Restaurant by far. Thank you Mike and Louisa for a lovely night, it was great to see you both. Will be back again soon.

I recommend it because the restaurant has a good feel to it. The chef is well known for his cooking and shows it at his own place. The restaurant is small and homely and has a great atmosphere, all the staff and kind and make the time there a little bit more memorable. So all in all, it has got to be one of or the best place to eat out in Southport.

Perfect service and lovely menu - a must for fish lovers - had the haddock chips and peas - presentation was perfect - dish almost faultless but chips needed work - had a strange taste - i could take them or leave them - I think next time I'd go for the seafood stew - it looks like a type of bouillabaise and looked gorgeous...

quality food and superb service, i cant ask for more. keep it up everyone at Balti Massala. The best 'indian' in liverpool.

We have been visiting Othelos for a few years now while Gerry and Maria have been managing the restaurant and everytime we have been the food and service is always amazing. We also have friends that visited us and we took them there and they loved it so much. Would recommend this restaurant to anybody. We visit Kefalonia every year and it remind us of our wedding. Hope to see you soon both.

Excellent food and attentive service. My steak was cooked to perfection and the creme brulee was delicious!

the atmosphere and staff can not be faulted but we felt the meal was a little average, have eaten in much better thai restaurants. The plates were cold so the food cooled very quickly. Over all was disappointed after other reviews, try somewhere else next time.

Myself and 3 friends visited Fat Mommas last night and had a very enjoyable evening. The food and service was second to none, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely be going back again.

Went here for my birthday - food was lovely but my fiance found a caterpillar in his salad. The waitress apologised + offered us a free drink but it would have been nice if the chef had come out + spoke to us. Food was great but I wouldn't go back purely because of this incident.

This is a new restaurant (Old Manhatten Bar next to Paradox). It is a lovely place with really good food. They have a tea time special for only £9.95 for 2 courses (5 - 7pm). There is also a big menu to choose from. I have been a few times and really enjoyed the Chicken goujons & mozzarella sticks to start and I always get the lasagna & garlic bread as they are both lovely. My husband varies his meals. He has had pasta named "Michael Caine", "Benny Hill" & "Sophia Loren". He enjoyed Sophia more because it was a little bit spicy. If you go on a Wednesday or Thursday evening, cocktails are buy one get one free. If you like chocolate milkshake I'd recommend the Snowball (normally £5 each). I would recommend this restaurant but be prepared if you are out for a few hours then your bill will probably be about £40 per person.

Myself and my wife visited the almond on Saturday night and were quite disappointed with the whole evening. we waited over 20 minuted for our starters, which both looked messy and rushed, then the mains were cold and over priced. im all for supporting local causes, but the least i expect is warm food. the restaurant is also very cramped. And since im complaining...the drinks are also over priced.

Lovely food and really friendly people. I would recommend Zorba's as much today as when I first went there more than 20 years ago.

This restaurant has good quality food at good prices. The bill came to under £18 each and we all had 3 courses and drinks. (The baileys creme brulee dessert is lovely). The service was excellent and the food I am pleased to say was home cooked as advertised. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Between us we ate homemade fat chips, curly fries, pasta, puddings, homemade burgers, ciabatta, garlic bread, various starters & drinks and it was well worth the money.

Great carvery, food delicious, visited on 19/8/09, friendly staff have recommended this to all my friends. Hope to go again on Sunday 30/8/09 for a birthday celebration
