Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

What a lovely place, comfortable, elegant, friendly helpful staff starting with hands on Ali i the owner, easy parking and what superb food! I have been before but took no 1 son to show him. What a good meal, the menu has the usual items but many many more regional specialities from all over the sub continent ranging from a creamy almondy Capsilla to a fiery king prawn dish that impressed even my curry head palette ! Prices for these wonderful dishes are a little higher but nobodies quibbling about £30 a head for superlative food and a few beers. Well recommended, They do a Sunday buffet for a tenner and Ali told me they now have a 15% loyalty card offer. That cant be bad !!

I visited Bistro Jacques last night for an impromptu meal with my friend whom I'd not seen for awhile. I only booked the table approx an hour before and considering they had their Tues Wine and Dine offer on, i was surprised and pleased that they could fit me in with such short notice. We were seen to immediately with a waitress getting us some water for the table, she brought some bread &butter and left us to peruse the menu. We chose the 2courses plus a bottle of house red each - we both opted for the fresh asparagus to start which was beautiful accompanied by parma ham and a small salad. My friend choose the fillet of beef whilst i had the duck for main. They were served with seasonal vegetables including dauphinois potatoes, which were gorgeous. The house red was certainly a good match to our mains. Since we still had another bottle to consume, we both opted for a dessert - despite initially saying we were too full but after looking at all the desserts on offer - we simply couldn't refuse but it was a tough decision deciding. I settled on chocolate profiteroles and my friend had the chocolate&banana crepe, both plates were empty in under 10mins - a sure sign of a delicious dessert. The waiting on service was excellent, there when you needed them and knowledgeable on the food they were serving. The price was reasonable and i know that i'll definitely return...if only to sample all the desserts on the chalkboard!

If you like Indian food, you cant go far wrong at Bay Of Bengal. Also, you can take your own wine and beer, which makes it a cheap night out.

My wife and I dined here last night, choosing the early bird pre-theatre menu as we had indeed booked to see a show later on. I have to say that this has to be the BEST dining experience I have had in Liverpool in a long, long time. The atmosphere and ambience in the restaurant was excellent, very rustic french, with some neat touches everywhere. Candles on each table to make things feel intimate despite the fact that it was very busy and consequently fairly noisy, but that just added to the atmosphere. The service was prompt, very attentive and very friendly. From the head waiter/owner right down to all of the girls serving at each table nothing was too much trouble and all professionally served. Then of course there was the food. This was supposed to be the cheap set-menu fayre so we weren't expecting much, but boy were we surprised. I started wit the smoked chicken soup which was both unusual and very tasty whilst my wife enjoyed the Pate. For main course I had a huge portion of poached salmon whilst my wife had quite simply one of the best stuffed chicken recipes I've ever tasted. And a massive portion of really nicely cooked mixed veg selection for us to share too. For dessert my wife had a lovely banana and chocolate crepe, whilst I opted for the cheeseboard, even this though was fantastic, with big portions of four very nice cheeses, plenty of crackers, grapes, celery and even a nice pot of homemade chutney. Now to the best bit of all the price. All this food, 3 courses, well cooked and well served, plus two coffees and a bottle of the house champagne came to just under £39, I can't eat that much in a Harvester for that price. I don't know how they can afford to serve this well at this price but I hope it continues as Bistro Franc, and its two sister restaurants in Liverpool are firmly on my must visit list for hopefully a long time to come.

The food is excellent. It is well presented and consistently of a high standard. We've been regulars for about 3 years now and are very satisfied with the much needed management change. Unfortunately, the music is just too loud! One of the waitresses agreed and said there is a problem with a dodgy speaker, but it really does make it uncomfortable to eat through. It feels like we were in a tacky nightclub. The toilets are also kept to a very poor standard, which may put people off from eating here. Also the lady in the black really must learn to tie her hair back if she is going to handle drinks! On the whole we will definitely be returning! We just hope the new management takes on board our minor criticism. :D

absolutely great place , food was excellent , staff were attentive , was surprised at the relatively low cost of the meal in such a nice place , i highly recommend people try here !!

We went tonight for my friend's b'day. The service and food were both excellent. I highly recommend Nicola's.

Absolutely loved our visit to Tapa Vista at the jug for a friends birthday. The Spanish meatballs and paella were to die for. We went on a Thursday were they had a great offer which includes a free bottle of wine each! I would highly recommend the tapas at the jug and will definitely be going back soon.

I was very disappointed I felt I'd was rushed with each course and to be asked for a gratuity or tip I felt was wrong. I have been to this restaurant once or twice a year on special occasions and found the service excellence, it must have changed hands because the atmosphere and the pricing was totally different and I was very disappointed in the whole evening. I shall be getting onto the trading standards to find out what the exact position is in asking for a gratuity, I have no problem about giving a tip, but I have a problem about the asked how much I would like to give.

Very disappointed with Savina, if i am being asked what i thought about the food, we never got to try it as we ended up walking out and going next door to Mayur. We turned up on a Bank Holiday weekend on a Sunday about 18:40, sat down and then waited some time to order drinks along with a chance to view the menu. The table next to us seemed to be in a similar situation. The drinks came and then the only waiter on disappeared for about 15 minutes, there must have been about 8 tables on the go at various stages, so not snowed under with work but it did seem a little lite on waiter service, i suppose on reflection the sign on the door should have put us off as they were advertising for bar and waiter staff. Anyway eventually when we tried to order off the 5 to 7 menu at ten past seven we were told we were out of time, which i can understand if we came in after seven, but not when we had been sat down for some time waiting for our orders to be taken before seven. Probably the most annoying thing was the table next to us who only just ordered about 3 minutes before we ordered did order of the special menu. This was never a question of price but a question of principle and because of the lousy customer service attitude we will never eat their again, not that we did this time, but will advise all our friends and family of the awful service. Sorry but never again, on the up side we had a great meal again at Mayur. Go there its brilliant

Visited Sapporo Teppanyaki in Liverpool last night for the first time...it was amazing! From the moment that you walked in the door the staff were so friendly and made you feel really welcome. The restaurant itself is open plan, with a unique table layout; each one featuring it's very own cooking station and highly entertaining and extremely skilled chef. For starters, we sampled the hot chilli prawns and tempura vegetables (both of which were fabulous). Mains were cooked in front of us on the "Teppanaki plate" - egg fried rice, sauteed potatoes and vegetables with your choice of meat. We had Duck Breast Teriyaki and Garlic Beef Fillet. For the vegetarian amongst us it was the Oko-Nomi Yaki (thats a Japanese Savoury Pancake!). Simply delicious! The dishes are cooked on the central cooking stations and the chefs put on a great display and are very entertaining. I have a restricted diet and cannot eat and dairy/lactose products. I advised staff before going and they could not have been more accommodating. My dish was cooked separately in the kitchen area to avoid any "contamination" - all of the staff were more than happy to assist, making me feel as though I was being no trouble to them. All of this was finished off with a "Long Island Iced Tea" (mixed with Sake) in the relaxed bar area. This restaurant comes highly recommended from us and a must if visiting Liverpool.

The King do is absolutly shite

had a fantastic meal the staff ,atmosphere was great , we enjoyed it so much we went back 3 days later posh fish and chips was something else cannot wait till we go back again

The best Indian restaurant in the area. Friendly service, excellent quality and choice of food - plenty of mild dishes, but if you like hot and tasty, try the dishes with naga chillies. Prices are very reasonable, and and it's b.y.o., so it's the best value I've found in the north-west. The downstairs restaurant is small so there's plenty of atmosphere, and they have a separate room upstairs for any large groups or functions.

i often visit Edwards as you are always guaranteed quality dining and never have i once been disappointed always a pleasure

very good quality food, nice pizza. the best beef burger i ve tasted. strongly recommended.

This is by far the best Greek restaurant in Liverpool. If you love Greek food then give this a try, the food is amazing, it is cooked to perfection. My husband and i have been going to this restaurant for years now, and we are never disappointed. Marie and Gerry make you feel very welcome, the food is to die for and the atmosphere is amazing. I would recommend the Othellos special every time ! Give this a try without a doubt !

I went to Salvatores a few weeks back now on a Saturday it is on the main street in southport town centre great location, I can honestly say I have never had better service and food. The Italian waiter was very hospitable and the kitchen seemed to have much experience in the food they were cooking. I had the Calamari to start and my husband had the Garlic and bacon mushrooms absolutely gorgeous, presentation also. For mains I had the rack of lamb and my husband had a penne pasta with salmon and king prawns he very much enjoyed this said the sauce was out of this world. We would very much recommend this to anyone it is a lovely place to eat. Definitely going back. See you soon
