Reviews in Liverpool City Centre

Our party of four had a "3 tenners" lunch a couple of weeks ago. Food was average, service was slow, they charged for sauces without telling us when they offered them and added a service charge, which wasn't mentioned either. Had better, sorry. Shame you don't publish negative comments since only publishing positives gives a skewed view of the establishment, suggest you reconsider your policy if you want to provide a balanced service to visitors to your site.

After reading previous recommendations I was really looking forward to eating at Puschka. On arrival I was pleased by the warm ambience and was greeted by a pleasant member of staff. Unfortunately, that was where the positives ended because the food hugely disappointing. When I eat out, I like to be a little surprised by the food I receive. Restaurant food doesn’t have to spectacular but it should at least show a little imagination and be above what I could create myself given 5 minutes and a bag of vegetables. For starters my partner ordered an asparagus dish which sounded fantastic, on arrival it consisted of 4 strands of overcooked vegetable with a soft boiled egg on top. My own starter was described as sea bass fillet with chilli and lemon dressing, when it arrived I thought I’d ordered a vegetarian dish, a small portion of unflavoured onions and coriander mixed in with flakes of something fishy hardly describes fillet. Both main courses were equally uninspiring and the meat on both, despite a request for medium cook was the wrong side of nuked. Top this with a cost of £57 and you’ll leave feeling disappointed. I left thinking well it was June the 11th, it was the opening game for England against the USA in the World Cup, maybe the chef had bunked off to the pub, come to think of it, wish I’d done the same. Sorry for this review, Puschka you need to up your game people don't want to arrive hungry, leave hungry, loose £57 in the process.

Had an amazing family meal here today. The food is fantastic. I had a brazilian curry with seafood. This was the best curry I have ever eaten and was full of flavours, very different to the usual bland curries. My wife had the sea bass which was equally as good. The kids food was very good too (and also free of charge). We will go back here very soon,

Hi I went to the Munro on the 30th May 2010 for my niece 21st Birthday Party and the food was amazing, Had a three course meal and wine, my Father said it was one of the best meals he had tasted in a long time. The family had a great time and really enjoyed the venue. Definitely going back there soon

No ive looked back at the comments and there dated only till 2009, ive had a meal there to nite, and it was bland from start to finish, dips from the poppadoms were bland no taste at all,my starter was dry and i was unsure what i ordered . { shrimp curry}. for my main Chicken curry, NO TASTE AT ALL, i had a paswira Nam no TASTE again AND was very dry. Very Unhappy with my Meal

I visited Bistro Jacques last night for an impromptu meal with my friend whom I'd not seen for awhile. I only booked the table approx an hour before and considering they had their Tues Wine and Dine offer on, i was surprised and pleased that they could fit me in with such short notice. We were seen to immediately with a waitress getting us some water for the table, she brought some bread &butter and left us to peruse the menu. We chose the 2courses plus a bottle of house red each - we both opted for the fresh asparagus to start which was beautiful accompanied by parma ham and a small salad. My friend choose the fillet of beef whilst i had the duck for main. They were served with seasonal vegetables including dauphinois potatoes, which were gorgeous. The house red was certainly a good match to our mains. Since we still had another bottle to consume, we both opted for a dessert - despite initially saying we were too full but after looking at all the desserts on offer - we simply couldn't refuse but it was a tough decision deciding. I settled on chocolate profiteroles and my friend had the chocolate&banana crepe, both plates were empty in under 10mins - a sure sign of a delicious dessert. The waiting on service was excellent, there when you needed them and knowledgeable on the food they were serving. The price was reasonable and i know that i'll definitely return...if only to sample all the desserts on the chalkboard!

My wife and I dined here last night, choosing the early bird pre-theatre menu as we had indeed booked to see a show later on. I have to say that this has to be the BEST dining experience I have had in Liverpool in a long, long time. The atmosphere and ambience in the restaurant was excellent, very rustic french, with some neat touches everywhere. Candles on each table to make things feel intimate despite the fact that it was very busy and consequently fairly noisy, but that just added to the atmosphere. The service was prompt, very attentive and very friendly. From the head waiter/owner right down to all of the girls serving at each table nothing was too much trouble and all professionally served. Then of course there was the food. This was supposed to be the cheap set-menu fayre so we weren't expecting much, but boy were we surprised. I started wit the smoked chicken soup which was both unusual and very tasty whilst my wife enjoyed the Pate. For main course I had a huge portion of poached salmon whilst my wife had quite simply one of the best stuffed chicken recipes I've ever tasted. And a massive portion of really nicely cooked mixed veg selection for us to share too. For dessert my wife had a lovely banana and chocolate crepe, whilst I opted for the cheeseboard, even this though was fantastic, with big portions of four very nice cheeses, plenty of crackers, grapes, celery and even a nice pot of homemade chutney. Now to the best bit of all the price. All this food, 3 courses, well cooked and well served, plus two coffees and a bottle of the house champagne came to just under £39, I can't eat that much in a Harvester for that price. I don't know how they can afford to serve this well at this price but I hope it continues as Bistro Franc, and its two sister restaurants in Liverpool are firmly on my must visit list for hopefully a long time to come.

I was very disappointed I felt I'd was rushed with each course and to be asked for a gratuity or tip I felt was wrong. I have been to this restaurant once or twice a year on special occasions and found the service excellence, it must have changed hands because the atmosphere and the pricing was totally different and I was very disappointed in the whole evening. I shall be getting onto the trading standards to find out what the exact position is in asking for a gratuity, I have no problem about giving a tip, but I have a problem about the asked how much I would like to give.

Very disappointed with Savina, if i am being asked what i thought about the food, we never got to try it as we ended up walking out and going next door to Mayur. We turned up on a Bank Holiday weekend on a Sunday about 18:40, sat down and then waited some time to order drinks along with a chance to view the menu. The table next to us seemed to be in a similar situation. The drinks came and then the only waiter on disappeared for about 15 minutes, there must have been about 8 tables on the go at various stages, so not snowed under with work but it did seem a little lite on waiter service, i suppose on reflection the sign on the door should have put us off as they were advertising for bar and waiter staff. Anyway eventually when we tried to order off the 5 to 7 menu at ten past seven we were told we were out of time, which i can understand if we came in after seven, but not when we had been sat down for some time waiting for our orders to be taken before seven. Probably the most annoying thing was the table next to us who only just ordered about 3 minutes before we ordered did order of the special menu. This was never a question of price but a question of principle and because of the lousy customer service attitude we will never eat their again, not that we did this time, but will advise all our friends and family of the awful service. Sorry but never again, on the up side we had a great meal again at Mayur. Go there its brilliant

Visited Sapporo Teppanyaki in Liverpool last night for the first time...it was amazing! From the moment that you walked in the door the staff were so friendly and made you feel really welcome. The restaurant itself is open plan, with a unique table layout; each one featuring it's very own cooking station and highly entertaining and extremely skilled chef. For starters, we sampled the hot chilli prawns and tempura vegetables (both of which were fabulous). Mains were cooked in front of us on the "Teppanaki plate" - egg fried rice, sauteed potatoes and vegetables with your choice of meat. We had Duck Breast Teriyaki and Garlic Beef Fillet. For the vegetarian amongst us it was the Oko-Nomi Yaki (thats a Japanese Savoury Pancake!). Simply delicious! The dishes are cooked on the central cooking stations and the chefs put on a great display and are very entertaining. I have a restricted diet and cannot eat and dairy/lactose products. I advised staff before going and they could not have been more accommodating. My dish was cooked separately in the kitchen area to avoid any "contamination" - all of the staff were more than happy to assist, making me feel as though I was being no trouble to them. All of this was finished off with a "Long Island Iced Tea" (mixed with Sake) in the relaxed bar area. This restaurant comes highly recommended from us and a must if visiting Liverpool.

had a fantastic meal the staff ,atmosphere was great , we enjoyed it so much we went back 3 days later posh fish and chips was something else cannot wait till we go back again

A group of 6 girls went to Lunya on Bank Holiday monday. we had a beautiful meal. The food was amazing, superb cava and lovely service. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Have just booked for a big girly night out as the cocktails were superb. We were even sat next to an international footballer - no idea who he was, but he was a hunk!

Emperor's new clothes - pretensions of greatness but no substance of any kind. We went the summer before last and had a wonderful meal. This time (2/5/10) Marshall appeared to have been beguiled by the fine art/fine dining movement but clearly lacks the skills to pull it off, the end result being a confusing combination of mismatched flavours which left one completely unsatisfied in every sense. The once magnificent cheese board has now diminished to a somber looking bunch of dried out specimens that would better grace a Christmas buffet down at the local sports and social club. This really was a terribly disappointing experience from a restaurant which promised so much. Marshall needs to rethink or move on, quickly.

We love the Yuet Ben! We think it's the best Chinese in LIverpool. Fantastic food, crispy duck is the best ever (they make their own pancakes and bring you more if you run out, yummy hoi sin too), crispy chilli beef delicious too as were the rest of the meals sampled by our party. Attentive staff who were willing to engage in some light banter when we ordered two starters and the rest of our party only ordered one "So you'll be eating your second starter and they'll be sitting there watching you?" Hilarious. Very pleasantly accommodated the birthday cake I had brought for my brother and even provided a candle and music without prior warning. Please go there, you will not be disappointed. We'll be going again very soon.

I have been a fan of zizzi since the first time I was taken there a year ago. Since then I have taken family and friends there for lunches and dinners and never was I disappointed. However, I must write of a really negative experience I recently had. A part from the cold draft coming from the kitchen door, which made me shiver for the entire duration of the meal, my arancini were clearly from the night before's service, just a little warmed up, probably in a microwave. The pizza dough was undercooked, it had very little tomato sauce so it was very dry; same goes for my son's pizza. My husband's fish course came with hard as rock potatoes. Overall, not a satisfying Sunday lunch. What a disappointment...

We have dined here several times and tried various meals and every single one has been exceptional. The staff are very welcoming but not imposing the decor is amazing. Whilst the prices may seem slightly higher than some, the quality of the food make this good value. Highly Recommend- Enjoy we did.
