Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

We were at the Supper Club on Thursday 27th April 2012, we really enjoyed the food and the service was very good.

Had been looking forward to taking my wife to see A Bit of Buble since making the booking back in January, as part of her Birthday Celebrations. We had been before so expected a good night. What a disappointment the night turned out to be. We often eat out so have experienced good and bad food before, but pride ourselves in never being too critical. (maybe we should be? so here goes) To say this food was average would be giving it more merit than it deserved. Firstly the starter was awful the chef had forgot to include part of the ingredients. i.e. Avocado was missing out of the Prawn & Avacado starter. Instead included too much lettuce and tiny bits of I suppose was Avacado, but I believe the jury is still deliberating on that one. When asked by the waitress was everything ok? I informed her no! To which she replied oh! maybe you will have better luck with the main course. Wonderful I thought we have a comedian as well as a singer, this could be a good night. I did ask for the manageress, who duly agreed with me after observing what was being passed off as Avocado. (2 tiny pieces on side of plate) and offered me a replacement, and said she would "Speak to Chef" As I had actually ate the prawns and lettuce of the starter, I politely declined. Ref: upset chef at your peril thought (I have seen film The Road Trip) Manageress offered us drink instead and assured us the main will be fine. My wife had the Spring roll and sweet chill starter. (said ok but not particularly wonderful) Well the mains arrived, I had chosen Sea Bass with seasonal Vegetables and potatoes. My wife had chosen Lamb on a bed of mash also with vegetables. First reaction as I gazed down on this supposedly improved course. Was to do an impression of a Telly-Tubby eh-oh I thought as I examined what was on my plate. Now I like sea bass, and I have had it in many a restaurant and always enjoyed it. (Even cooked it at home). But this was a piece of tiny, over cooked offering and in general the whole meal lack any flavour and any imagination. ( Though I did close my eyes and try to imagine a delicious meal in front of me, but it didn't work) My wife's meal also lacked flavour and said she had better, but couldn't remember having anything worse than this in any other Restaurant before. (Now my wife does a mean lamb so she should know) When the waitress asked if was everything ok, I replied not really this isn't much better. ( the blank look I got back was though I asked her to explain Einsteins Theory of Relativity) She was lovely really, I think she was just embarrassed delivering this poor standard meal to someones table. Meanwhile the official entertainment had arrived Hurrah! (Ref: Comedian quote earlier in review) The singer One, Cliff Jenkinson (A Bit of Buble) Apologised for being late as he had to return home to Mossley Hill in 15 minutes round trip to get another laptop as his original one wasn't working. Oh for the day's of live music eh! Its all backing tracks now using MP3'S (I wonder how many speed cameras he had to pass to do it in that time? (New career in F1 possible) To be fair he kicked off his act and was entertaining and soon had people dancing on the floor. (Mostly women who had had a few drinks and knew how to enjoy themselves) Though I suspect some were just dancing to keep warm, as the room was quite chilly with an occasional draft from the east to give that "wind chill factor") This cold front was increased when our candle went out on the table leaving both my wife and I shivering with what looked like an icicle hanging from my wife's nose. (I have since learned it was a frozen tear of despair of how the night had gone) A new candle arrived some 15 minutes later lo a few tables around us, We were not the only people to put our hands over the candle to get some heat. I suggested to my wife to go to the toilet and stand by the hot air dryer to get warm. Rigamortis had set with me at this point so I was a lost cause. Scott of the Antarctic came to mind when my wife disappeared to the toilet with the remark " I maybe gone some time". She did arrive back to my obvious delight, just in time to sample the desserts we had ordered. My wife had ordered what sounded a quite delicious a Banana cheese cake. I had ordered a (WARM) apple and cinnamon pancake with vanilla ice cream. It's at this point I have to give Blundell Street Restaurant 10 out of 10 for consistency as the desserts were as tasteless as the rest of the meal. With a don't know what the cheese cake tasted of apart from nothing, to my warm too thick pancake with apple puree and raisins and cinnamon straight from the fridge and rock hard ice cream. I tasted it and gave up. As I we had both lost the will to live at this point and the act had finished his first part I asked for the bill. At no time after the starter did the manageress come to see us and ask if the meal was ok. (I suspect she already knew the answer) As we had purchased this visit via Groupon it was only 2 drinks each we had to pay for. I had been drinking cordial and my wife an alcoholic drink. The waitress informed us we did not have to pay for drinks the due to the poor starter. Had the manageress bothered her bum to see us throughout the meal, she may have been aware she was getting off lightly. Though the purpose of our night was not to see what we could get for free? it was to have a pleasant night out of which this was not! We won't be rushing back anytime soon, which is a pity as we both like live entertainment (even with backing tracks). We won't be recommending Blundell Street to our friends, as we feel it isn't the same as it once was.

excellent food and service.

From the moment we walked in on a cold wet April day we were wowed! The bright clean fresh décor. The friendly helpful staff . The clean fresh real linen napkins and table cloths. The Food! Best of all was the food! . A Perfect birthday treat. What a gem this really is. And very reasonably priced. We will be back again soon. Thank you.

Gorgeous Chinese food, good value for money

The best Asian restaurant i have been in the UK amazing food and the staff were very kind.

The Tai Pan is the best Chinese food we have had by far & comes with high recommendation, I have travelled to the far east and the food is the best and all I can say is this place is the most authentic taste in the whole of Europe . . . . superb !!

I went a while ago with some friends and thought the food was fantastic...We have booked again for the 21st April with a big group of friends and family so hoping it will be just as fantastic!!

dont go the food is not good the 13 of us went home hungry i dont no where the review come from as the manger was rude i will not be going back

We decided to eat out in town after dropping our daughter back at college on Duke street last Thursday evening and had thought about trying 'The Hub'. It looked really packed so we went into Bistro Franc and were immediately shown to a table even though it was quite busy and we hadn't booked. The ambience in the restaurant is lovely, the lighting is just right and the waiter and waitress gave us just the right amount of time to make our minds up on what to eat and drink. We went for the £11.95 pre theatre menu and I have to say we were so glad the Hub was packed!! We both had goats cheese to start - which had a lovely taste. For mains, Husband had the salmon pasta which had plenty of salmon in and I went for the seabass. Although it was quite a small piece it really was quite enough with all the lovely vegetables added. The food was fresh and hot and very tasty. We finished off with a chocolate and orange cheese cake and eton mess - which was huge!! The merlot wine was to die for and all in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours. We enjoyed it so much we are thinking of taking all our family back there to celebrate my Husband's 50th birthday in July. Go - you won't be disappointed.

It is a nice restaurant, lovely food and good service. Particularly the tapas are nice. The drawback was that there was no bread with our tapas, and when we asked for some, they charged us £1,95 for one small flat loaf. That was a bit mean......

My friend and i were there on fri 16th march had a meal which was lovely staff very helpful would recommend enjoyed the show, robert fisher male vocalist was fantastic

I recently visited Kasbah Cafe

Talk about hidden gem,we had already enjoyed a few fun evenings at the bar at the Sink which succeeds in capturing both a cool New York vibe and a laid back Mediterranean flavour, however we were yet to sample the food. Wow, after having selected four tapas for £10 which consisted of hoisin duck wraps, mini fajitas,meze platter and skin on chips and dips all three of us were amazed at the portion size and quality . Not a chip was left and whilst we were accompanied by a fabulous acoustic guitarist we found out about the 3 course Sunday roast for £8 which is now top of our to do list. I thoroughly recommend this cool and trendy venue which certainly delivers.

Went as recommended by several friends - great venue and chilled atmosphere but bit disappointed with food - it was nice but portion sizes were pretty poor - expensive for what we got??

Overpriced, extremely bland for Thai food, and on the second attempt (to give it a chance to redeem itself, we love Thai food), also caused an immediate and uncomfortable gastric reaction (down, not up) before even leaving the restaurant.

Just wanted to send a quick message to the team to let everyone know and see how much we enjoyed our meal at Gusto last night. There were 5 of us, it was the first time for us all eating with you. We were served by Stephen who was absolutely fantastic. Really professional, friendly and made sure we had a wonderful time. We will most definitely be returning, often!

Excellent service and excellent food!
