Reviews in Crosby

Visited this restaurant last night. Service was excellent and staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The atmosphere was vibrant. Food was excellent with a good and varied selection. Well worth a visit.

excellent place.. foods really unique great atmosphere very busy just what we need in crosby...........cheers guys

A great find - Went to So Salsa on it's 2nd night of opening and was not disappointed. Relaxed atmosphere, fabulous food and great service. You won't be disappointed.

me and my wife and two kids went here for Sunday lunch in April 2010 we all got soup for starter which tasted odd so we sent it back then the waitress said the cook had tasted it and we were right it was odd i thought the cook was supposed to taste before it left the kitchen then the roast came out meat was like old boots we had to ask for more gravy because potatoes was very dry do not recommend this restaurant i would give it 2 out of 10 didn't even say sorry about soup manager and cook need sacking

When this place first opened it was a bit hit and miss for me, however for the last 6 months I have been visiting fortnightly at least. The food has been nothing short of fantastic every single time. By far the best place in the local area. The staff, albeit not too knowledgeable, are very friendly and warming, but the girls can wear a bit too much make up. The owner, David, is just gorgeous!!!

We have been back again and again. Their tea time main course offer is fantastic value. The atmosphere is great.

friends of mine ate here the other week spent £400 celebrating a birthday . They took some champagne along and they asked how much for corkage ? they were told £ 15 per bottle !

Exquisite food! .. really would recommend to everyone and there is such a good atmosphere between staff and customers. definitely go again anytime soon. reasonably priced aswell and never heard a bad word about the restaurant! five stars!!

My wife and i along with two friends who were visiting us from Australia went to the pioneer wine bar in crosby on new years eve. What a let down! we had booked for the "gourmet? " buffet and had been advised by the person taking the booking that there would be hot food also. NO hot food was available. During the evening my wife went to the toilet and came back with excrement all over her pants as some lovely person who had previously been in there had what can only be described as having "diarohea" deposited this all over the toilet floor. Absolutely disgusting, my wife reported this to the staff who were very sympathetic. my wife had to leave to go and get changed. when our Australian friend paid a visit to the toilet ater nothing had been cleaned up and the cubicle was still in this disgusting state. This is a restaurant for heavens sake,how our people supposed to enjoy their food? Needless to say we left well before midnight very embarrassed for our friends on what should have been a celebratory night. I phoned the bar when we arrived home and was promised by a staff member that a manager would phone me back. nobody has had the courtesy to do this and we will not be going back again to the pioneer nor will we be recommending it to any our friends who live in the crosby area. Our friends have now returned home and god knows what they think of our decision to go to the pioneer. Yours disgusted and ashamed.

I had a meal at pioneer bar and brasserie last Thursday,i have to say that the food wasn't great at all in fact it was pretty poor.I was told that there was a new chef who had a cv of top places he had worked as long as his arm. I have also been informed that if i wanted a excellent meal by this top chef that it would have to be a breakfast as 'top chef' doesn't do much more than a breakfast shift .

restaurant decor fantastic, wish I could say the same for the food,we have been to this restaurant a quite a few times now , the food is a bit hit and miss, the music far too loud ,when I asked for it to be turned down , they refused, so they have lost not only our custom but that of our friends.

Had another meal last night (Thursday) Cooked by (Im told) Michael Wichmann and Michael Abrahams. Best meal I have ever had. Shame neither Ian nor David were on hand so I could tell them how good it was!!!

Held my daughters christening upstairs at Pioneer. What a fantastic venue for a function. They won't entertain 18ths or 21sts but the best location in the area for christenings, 30ths, 40ths, 50ths etc by far. Thanks to David, Ian and all the staff for a memorable and perfect day.

Fantastic restaurant, great food, lovely atmosphere. Will visit again very soon.

I ate here with friends last weekend for my birthday and had a really lovely time. It was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and the food was delicious. I had sea bass which was cooked to perfection. The service was very good too. I will definitely book to eat here again.

We thought we would try out Crosby's latest restaurant offering to see how good the food really was. Unfortunately thats as good as it got. We ordered the tuna and pork main dishes. The tuna arrived under-cooked and had to be sent back. Five minutes later the same dish arrived back. Not even a fresh tuna had been used. The pork was lovely but the bed of potato mash was cold. After totting up three drinks the whole experience cost around £30. Not exactly cheap and considering the quality of the meal, it is poor value for money. Later in the evening my wife was ill. She puts that down to the tuna.

Any one who knows even a modicum about food will be aware that Crosby is a gastronomic backwater, the standards required of even the most basic restaurants are sadly lacking in this area. The one bright light can be found on the corner of endbutt lane; the Pioneer Bar and Brasserie in its first year has tried to lift the desperation felt by many locals when choosing to dine out in crosby. Its a bright modern restaurant that serves ,by far, the best food in the crosby,waterloo area,although not a great restaurant,its head and shoulders above the rest,and is improving all the time. Its reasonably priced with a good wine list,this includes the house wines.The staff are helpful and keen, but lack knowledge of the food they serve...........Its worth a visit ,the best food in the area

Dined there last Sunday . Food awful Partner had Pork Rump and the squirts for 2 days!!No one there bothered to ask us how we enjoyed the meal or we would have told them. Hand cooked chips obviously reheated! Peppercorns musty! Thought it would be a little treat, not an experience i would like to repeat. I have informed friends and colleagues not to waste their money.Very disappointing!!
