Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I simply enjoyed every bit of this pub the landlord was great and made us feel very welcome food was wonderful and beer was even better will defo be back again

Came in off the street on a wet Tuesday night, warm welcome, drink @ the bar good aperitifs Its a good room and the service is friendly and to the point. I had chicken livers then a seafood risotto all good, my partner the mushrooms and a steak we enjoyed all of it with a decent bottle of white. I was amused by the warmed brandy with its napkin hat, and a couple of good coffees. Pretty slick really

I love this place! - having discovered it by chance last year it never fails to disappoint. I went for a pre- theatre meal this week with my Mum and yet again it was brilliant. The quality of the food is excellent, it has a welcoming relaxed atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. You almost feel like you could be sitting in a Parisian bistro with the dimmed lights, candles in their wine bottles and the French posters on the wall. If all this wasn't enough, it is fantastic value for money - you really cant beat it in terms of quality and price.

On Saturday 18 February 2006, my wife and I ate here for a post valentines meal. The food was absolutely fantastic. I would go as far to say one of the best meals I have ever eaten in Liverpool and the service was second to none. The restaurant is situated on a slightly raised level to that of the bar area and a vocal / guitar act played at a comfortable volume in the corner of the bar area. (This was no cheesy social club act - but a talented, confident musician at work) We both chose a soup to start. The soup was full of flavour, thick in texture, piping hot and a good sized bowlful (approx £4) and we followed this with a fillet of beef (£19.95 each). The beef was cooked to perfection and the knife simply glided through the meat. The beef came with mushroom and a small stack of deauphinoise potatoes - which were also really tasty, it was however necessary to order a side, to ensure the meal was fulfilling!! I opted for a side salad and my wife opted for the seasonal vegetables. The salad was crisp and light with a pleasant dressing and the seasonal vegetables were crisp and crunchy, yet nice and hot. We washed down our meal with a bottle of Rose (Zinfandel) which cost approx £15 yet unfortunately we had no room for a dessert! (The people on the table next to us however appeared to thoroughly enjoy theirs!) All in all - if you want to impress, or you have a special occasion that you wish to celebrate - Opt for St John Restaurant at the Sir Thomas Hotel. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for a fantastic meal.

The food is fab in here, takes a bit longer to be served, but you know everything is cooked from scratch even the deserts. No microwave rubbish in here. Lovely surroundings to go with your meal

My husband and I go to the soul cafe most Saturdays as our girls go to the dance school nearby. We love the relaxed atmosphere. The menu is varied and impressive and the staff are always friendly and efficient. It is a bit different from most cafes in Liverpool as the music they play is great too.

I visited this restaurant on Saturday 18th February. We had to wait five minutes for the table but we were seen too as soon as we went in. We could not fault the service at all. From the time of ordering our starters and delivery was no more than five mins - truly excellent. The presentation of the food was brilliant as were the staff. Would definitely go back.

food was ok service was good beautiful decor worth a visit if just for the decor.!

Went to Alma de Cuba on a Wednesday night (day after Valentines). Booked table for 8.45 but had a bit of a wait, it was so busy. It was worth it. Food was delicious. Surroundings are fantastic and atmosphere really good, quite busy for a Wednesday. Service was a little slow but waitresses were lovely and friendly and even gave us cushions cos the chairs are a little low. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and are booking to go back asap. We both had fillet steak was amazing as was the mash (with bacon). Bar very good as well.

Absolutely delicious! Been a number of times and never been disappointed. Excellent sized portions for the cost. The creamiest korma you could ever imagine, if not slightly too creamy! Staff are prompt and excellent at their jobs, even if they aren't overly friendly and pretentious. Having the privacy of the booths is excellent, however you can hear other peoples conversations quite loud. Still a grade A restaurant though!

The Gulshan is a superb curry house. Friendly & knowledgeable staff, decent prices and great food. All the usual suspects are there on the menu along with interesting vegetable and fish dishes plus specialities like green coriander balti masalas and mustard baltis. Highly Recommended.

We've been there on Valentine's Day. I didn't know what to expect but i have to say the food was divine, relaxed atmosphere with fine beers and wine. A definite "must visit"!

My wife and I had our valentine's meal here. The food was exceptional from the starter to the desert and the service was the same. Eaten out many times in city centre this place is a diamond. Try it.

Paid my first visit to Pauls Place last week and certainly won't be my last! Restaurant was quite busy - on a Wednesday night but that did not affect the service and friendliness of the staff. Speaking as someone who does not have a sweet tooth the desserts are just out of this world. Miss out on Paul's Place at your peril!!

A simple, but well executed menu, generous portions offering value for money. The wooden benches and glass tumblers give it a school canteen feel, but for a weekday lunch it more that suffices.

Once again Cafe Pierre excels itself on its simplicity and charm. This place serves up honest fayre and is superbly cooked and wholesome. We went for Sunday lunch and we've become regulars as we have found no other restaurant offers the quality and taste of fresh ingredients. Having not gone there just for the amazingly low prices all I can say is don't let the low price fool you into thinking you're getting a low quality product - quite the reverse is true! A good light Beaujolais only enhances the dining experience. Keep up the good work!

Never knew this place existed. Booths are great idea, didn't have the nerve to press waiter service button though! Food was fantastic, and plenty of it. Service was good, waiters didn't smile much, but didn't go there to see them. Will definitely be coming here again.

The food was lovely and the service fantastic. Would recommend the buffets to anyone!
