We have been going to Whats Cooking since opening. I see changes again the chilli burger was nice but no salad garnish or proper chilli on the burger. None on it? Ribs were very nice as usual except now on a wooden board like original ones. Overall nice food just needs Chilli on burger and be great again

Absolutely amazing food was so flavoursome atmosphere was brilliant watching the food being cooked fresh - staff were so friendly nothing was too much trouble - I genuinely cannot say how much this food is brilliant - the flavours the portion sizes the value for money would highly recommend - plus the manager was so friendly an checks on all his customers making sure everything ok - brilliant night fabulous experience absolute hidden gem !

We visited on Thursday. Had booked for 4 but arrived an hour early. We were made extremely welcome. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere and ambiance was lovely. We felt it was intimate and all in all a fantastic restaurant.

When I arrived, it was clear that the staff had thought carefully about where I would be best seated (I use a wheelchair). I dressed for the occasion in a 1920's fashion and this was appreciated by the staff. I was expecting to see some flappers (yes, with an f) but they must have decided to go elsewhere that evening! The service was attentive but not intrusive, even when the place was very busy. I had the scallops to start, which were cooked (grilled, I think) to perfection. Then I had the special of the day as a main course - a fish cake coated in oats with a lovely sauce including tart caper berries for a burst of flavour. I tried the Cattier champagne - a new marque to me - and, given its reasonable price, I was pleasantly surprised by its creaminess and finish. However, that brings me on to the bar service. The champagne had not been chilled at all and took about an hour to reach a drinkable temperature. The staff immediately recognised this issue and put a bottle in the 'fridge'. The pre-dinner (i.e. dry) cocktail that I ordered had simple syrup added and was undrinkable. I had to sent it back. Although some sharpening up may be needed behind the bar, the quality of the food and the attentive service outweighed any negative experiences.

Really great restaurant. The people that work there are so friendly and the food is so lovely and reasonably priced. Highly recommend

First visit, lovely warm welcome, relaxed friendly vibe to the restaurant. Great service, very attentive, very natural, food first rate and reasonably priced. Will certainly be back

What a lovely evening, we were greeted and taken to our booth. We were a party of 5 and all had different things to eat, The food was beautiful, presented really well, freshly cooked. I had the chicken, it was cooked to perfection. The staff were excellent too, they were extremely busy but nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely evening. I have bought a gift voucher so my daughter and son in law can come for a lovely night too x

As always excellent, come here every European game, Scouse last night, delicious, staff headed by Mark were brilliant too..we dont go anywhere else, says it all really..

This is a hidden gem worth visiting. Everything was superb, from the food to the staff and the owner. The chalupas and taquitos dorados were delicious, and the birria tacos with melted cheese and the enchiladas were even better. We will definitely come back every time we are in the area. Muchas gracias!!!

Food was amazing best Mexican weve ever had. The only issue I had was that I understand they were closing and whilst there where other tables there we felt rushed to finish our food and the bill was brought over when we hadn't even finished. Other than that was amazing and would go back

As ever food fabulous,atmosphere fabulous,staff fabulous ,it was fabulous!

Love the food. So pleased we have discovered this gem. Second visit and will definitely be back. Every time we visit our daughter at university. Definitely a 5 star

Had an absolute wonderful time, all staff were amazing with us and had a lovely chat with them. The head chef (young gentleman in the kitchen) was specifically nice to our table and adhered to our diatry specifications. I’d definitely book again.

Went in for a wonderful meal with family and then head chef which I assume is the youngish gentleman on the kitchen was extremely friendly where he made us very comfortable. Would recommend coming here again and bringing friends down next time.

Great food and great quick service. Would recommend

Excellent venue went for meal with friends from out of town. Very easy booking system great service fast and efficient. Food is of excellent quality and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Really enjoyed our visit and would deffinately return

The service was great from the get-go. The food was stunning, with generous portion sizes. 5 of us dined out, the bill was reasonable considering we had starters and mains and lots of drinks. Would 10000% recommend and will dine there again.

Lovely restaurant, location and views. Food was amazing. Service was great until we were given our mains and then we were basically ignored and had to go up to the group of waiting staff who were stood around chatting to ask for a our bill and then pay on the way out. Shame as we would have liked the option of dessert and another drink!
