Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Eaten here a few times - had a few drinks with the owner - very pleasant - close to home and in summer walking back is fun. Once swapped a tray of beans for a bottle of wine! Noise from the function room can spoil the restaurant ambience if there's a wedding on. Having said that, we've enjoyed eating at Hollings Hey everytime we've been.

I went to La Case Vieja last week for the first time in over 4 months the food was great the boss is still working in the kitchen so if the food is not up to par you can inform him I have never had to send a meal back keep up the good work and thank you for bringing a small part of Spain to St. Helens

superb meal and very attentive staff,we love the new beefeater menu

Sapporo is the number 1 place to eat in Liverpool. The time you spend there is enjoyable from start to finish, whether you are in a group or just a couple you will have a fun night. The food is amazing and the staff are very polite. If you have not yet tried it you are missing out!!

the peking duck is just fantastic. staff are friendly and helpful, the menu is varied and the food is wonderful. i am vegetarian and there is plenty of choice (the veggie banquet is the best i have come across). highly recommend

I was very surprised to find out that this is part of a chain - because the food was very very good. The menu has a great choice, from small snacks to more substantial dishes. I had a pancake filled with smoked haddock and baked in a white sauce and cheese, which was very tasty, my boyfriend went for a chicken salad - sounds boring but it wasn't. It had a nice selection of really green leaves, meaty chunks of chicken and loads of good blue cheese. The prices can seem a bit dear, but after tasting the food I think it was worth every penny. We had decent wine, and the service was good, helpful but not in your face. The restaurant itself is decked out like a Parisian cafe - and a very convincing effort it is. I definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic place, great food, superb service really friendly nice loos.

Fantastic. a large party of girlies! staff were attentative, hard working and extremely friendly. food was gorgeous but it always is. never had a bad meal in surfers. thank you

I visited the hong sing with friends and i thought the staff were very friendly and the service was great. I thought the prices where really good for what you get. the food was lovely infact i enjoyed it that much i have arranged to return in 3 days for a family meal. class service great food what more could you ask for and no im not being paid for this rating.

I have visited this restaurant regularly over the last few years and have always found the food, service and pricing to be of an excellent standard. This is a restaurant that I would certainly recommend to visitors to the city - it is a place where they can enjoy delicious Chinese food in the heart of Liverpool's China Town.

Have been here four or five times now and the food is always tasty, fresh and packed with flavour. The menu has a good choice with sandwiches and soups to hearty hot main meals. Have recommended to all my friends, and the deli is great also, Liverpool was in dire need of somewhere like this.

Had a Sunday meal here & although food, Service & the restaurant decor were great, the location was pretty poor with awfull views looking out of the window (train station & what looks like disused garage or something). Our meal was taken about 2 hours after it opened for Sunday lunch & they had already ran out of the chicken which was suprising considering the size of the venu. So now with about 25% less available on the menu I went for the beef which was perfect, but to top that the veg was even better (Just try the carrots mmmmmm). However on a final moan> They also ran out of tea bags! :( On reflection as a whole I would recommend this place & I will more than likely visit it again in the future, but only when it's not too busy (It's a small place) as you'll never know what they'll run out of

Not been to this wonderful eatery for over a year and the food was just as good as remembered, only downside was the service the young gentleman was very courteous but lacked the experience and charm of the last head waiter Eddie, but on a whole still good

This is a new restaurant that we had heard very good reports about so visited it recently. Everything was superb. Presentation of food was amazing. Staff smiling and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful setting too. Definitely will go again.

La Tasca is a lovely restaurant, the outside area is great to enjoy the sun. The waiter are friendly, attentive and as far as I can tell all from Latin country. The atmosphere inside is great. The food is good value, but nothing like a Spanish tapas. The patatas bravas were extremely disappointing. I wouldn't go back for food, I think there are much better places in Liverpool. But I would go there for a drink.

We opted for the banquet to simplify the choices for us since it was our first visit. The food was full of flavour and I enjoyed in particular the exotic spicy desserts, although not too keen on the hot and sour soup. A note on their booking policy for groups: deposit given on behalf of anyone who doesn't turn up is lost and can't be used towards the rest of the group, so be sure to know your exact numbers first. The proprietor was patient to explain. Very friendly family business.

Frosty reception from the maitre d' who wouldn't seat us until the last man in a group of 12 had arrived, and when finally seated, it was on a creaky bench almost about to break. We ordered almost 30 tapas and 6 paellas to share which was far too much food. By this time the staff had become less frosty and quite helpful. They got a few of the tapas orders mixed up and we had to chase a few missing ones, but it all got sorted in the end. It certainly helps to remember what you ordered. The wine was lovely. Really convenient online booking service, no deposit, and we were not rushed to leave while we had our hot drinks and desserts (a weekday evening). Overall, we had a really good night despite the few criticisms.

Along with 19 others I visited the Bistro on a Tuesday evening and was really impressed by everything about the restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service outstanding. We were going to the theatre and they managed to feed and water 20 of us within 2 hours! We will certainly be going back!
