Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions and never been disappointed. The care and detail taken by the staff is exceptional, only negative is the food arrives very quickly, you have only just finished your starter and your main course is there! Otherwise faultless

i went to tapas tapas for a meal on grand national day and i must say the food is very delicious. i would recommend this restaurant to every one. also the staff are very efficient and the manager is very good looking i was half tempted to ask for his phone number. he handles the job and staff and customers in a very professional manner. go try the food and judge for yourself.

Recently came across this restaurant from friends suggestions. We found the place an excellent choice for eating and a great variation in meals. The staff were very cooperative and friendly which made the evening an eventful one.

Went bank holiday weekend for our anniversary. The views are great but the food lacks quality and is served in such small portions we left feeling hungry. The lamb served was extremely fatty and gristly and the cheese board was inedible. The menus given to diners were dog eared and grubby but they did iron the table clothes in situ after each diner had left. We were rushed through our meal and we heard other diners complaining about being left waiting too long for a table. Eat before you go !

I had a lovely meal at Etsu last week and was very surprised. I have eaten sushi in a lot of places around the world and I can honestly say that it is delicious at Etsu. The service was very good, attentive but not too much. The atmosphere is relaxed. I would definitely recommend going here! Price vs quality is excellent. PS: Try the chef's platter, it is gorgeous!

Love this restaurant. The food is the best in Liverpool. Buy far the best restaurant around. Have you eaten in Blanco dinning room, how classy is this little joint. you can reserve a table or book the whole place

I think I must have been to a different restaurant than the other reviewers!! I have to say, this is the worst restaurant I have ever been too. The service was awful, it took 20 minutes to be acknowledged, then a further 20 minuted to get 2 drinks (which were wrong) and then another half an hour to get any service. When I was served the I found the staff unfriendly, arrogant and miserable. I have noticed that many of the reviewers went for lunch, i went for dinner in the evening, so maybe it has different staff, but it was the worst place I have ever been in terms of service. The food wasn't the best either, especially if you are vegetarian, I will not be going back and I would not recommend this excuse for a restaurant to anyone.

Warning - do not be fooled by the awards and hype. Travelled from Middlesbrough to sample one of the best Italians in uk ; it aint. Been to Ramsey's restaurant in London now that's worth a trip. Had high hopes, busy ,buzzy, excellent pizza oven great atmosphere. Ate calamari (frozen-bland) spaghetti vongole(good) husband had pizza (appalling considering the £20k pizza oven) truly awful.Coffee was bad and cold oh and wrong! ordered macchiato ; came black.so sad as 100's of 1000's mus've been spent doin this place up.Bag's of potential.No wonder manager/owner was looking was looking a bit depressed last night.

Went to Maharaja on a Sunday afternoon with the OH, they had a buffet on, with essentially a Chicken curry, Veg and a Fish curry along with roti and rice and payyasum for dessert. The food was bland and totally uninspiring and service was non-existent, probably being a buffet!The masala dosa was reasonable but the sambar was again bland and tasteless. Would NEVER return there, big disappointment.

Great food, great price, great atmosphere, wine in tumblers give authentic feel, book early on phil nights.

ME AND MY HUBBY GO TO RUIS REGULAR.NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT TO GIVE THEM IN THREE YEARS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK RUIS.FOOD IS GORGEOUS AND DESERTS ARE SCRUMMY. TRY FOR YOURSELF YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED. EARLY BIRD MENU IS WELL VALUE FOR MONEY.

We have visited the restaurant on several occasions and each time its never a disappointment. We always go for the vegetarian mezedes banquet for two. Each dish is a delight and always cooked and prepared to a very high standard. We love it so much it would be a sin to dine anywhere else. I believe the quality and the variety of the vegetarian dishes is undoubtedly the best in Liverpool. Would like to say to the owners a great restaurant and well done!!!

The second rudest waitress I have ever encountered - but who expected a tip.(Not forthcoming) A pizza you needed a hammer and chisel to breach, slow slow service and a request for a proper wineglass treated as if I was asking for gold plate! I'm going back to Ego! They can cook, they're efficient and the service is so nice I usually give a 15% tip.

The restaurant was at a standard which i believe it should have won awards for its outstanding service and lovely food. The owner of the business should be proud and many thanks to the owner of providing the finest Indian cuisine in Liverpool

Undoubtedly the worst restaurant in the city. Yes, it's cheap, but then people seem to put up with mass-prepared slop when it doesn't cost much. This is wrong. No matter what you pay you should expect good food and good service. Me and my Girlfriend went there, sent both our starters and main course back and left. I had a cold meat salad that looked like it had been in the fridge for several weeks, then Beef Bourginon which was the saltiest thing I had ever tasted.

A Party of twenty four went to Jalons.What a wonderful night for my 60th Birthday.The food excellent,service 100 percent attentive. Music,very entertaining. Thankyou so much for such a memorable night.Nothing too much trouble for staff. Veronica 19/04/2008
