Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Attended Goya on the 5th February as a party of 5. Staff were very polite and attentive and nothing was too much trouble, we sat at the window table. The food was really good quality and everyone enjoyed their meals of which there was plenty. We all had starters and mains plus a couple of salads for the table, the papaya salad was divine. Very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend Goya and look forward to visiting again.

It was our second visit there with some friends and the food was very good and staff very pleasant and always on hand to top up our drinks, would definitely recommend and look forward to eating there again soon.

I would have to say for the price I am slightly dissapointed. As a starter, two of us chose a chicken parfait which was topped with a very very sweet jelly. This was then topped with a very sweet sauce, i felt i had eaten my dessert for a starter and felt my teeth ache like i had just drank a sugary soft drink. I could not finish the dish as it was so sweet and rich, it really needed a bread or cracker or something to counter the soft textures and rich/sweetness. I had the duck for main course, the piece of duck was cooked very well and tasted great. The dish as a whole was lacking, the sauce had a bit of an odd aftertaste, and the black garlic added a biterness which together rather ruined the flavour of the duck. A confit yolk with onion and apple didnt quite fit. My parter had the stone bass which again was cooked well, but as she is pescatarian she requested this, the fish was supposed to come with potatoes which they removed and added more vegetable, surely they have potatoes without any meat products? In the end she was left with fish and vegetables. The cheese board at the end was charged at 44 pounds for 4 people ( we asked for 3 people but where charged as 4) the fruit on the board was of no real quality and the cheese was okay but it just felt overpriced for the sake of it. Overall we were charged £220 and left slighy unsatisfied and underwhelmed. Also, if you're going to lock the front door of your restaurant because of the wind, you might want to pay more attention to the customers knocking on your door standing in the rain. No significant complaints on the day as things where cooked well, but would not be returning.

Great food, Great Staff, Lovely Atmosphere! Will definitely be back!!

Brilliant Birthday meal food and service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Amazing - booked for 7:30 pm and had a little wait because it’s a small bistro but full and the Thai aroma from the food already hit us. Ordered starters mains and was the best Thai food I’ve tasted - fresh ingredients. Clean tasting and no heavy MSG after experience with some asian restaurants. Then the value for money Unbelievable - Selfishly didn’t want to write a review because this is a GEM and will need to book because of the popularity. But Goya deserves its praise. Excellent and on our door stop

The scouse was excellent, as was the garlic bread with cheese Unfortunately I was very disappointed with the meatballs, they certainly were not up to previous experiences.

Food was excellent, value of the early evening menu was very good considering the amount of food we got, and the staff were very friendly

Pizzas very good. For some too large so a box to take home what wasn’t eaten would be great Staff very friendly Whole place looks bright and cheerful in

Food was amazing half price on a wednesday my husband had the beef wellington I had salt n pepper chicken on a bun with curry sauce wow just wow 100%

We had a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday. The food was great and the service was absolutely 5 star! All the staff were helpful, friendly and smiley! Good wine selection at reasonable prices too. Would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. We are looking forward to returning very soon.

We took our friend for an 80 th birthday meal, atmosphere was lovely and relaxing music in the background not blaring, staff very attentive, food lovely as usual

Seeing the delight on friends faces and hearing them rave over the taste and appearance of their food choice is such a lovely thing to share. Every detail is catered for and food is served on beautiful crockery. Love the wall decorations which bring back memories of holidays in Italy. Dont wait for a special date to go here. It's too good to wait for although it is a special place.

Treated my husband to lunch and he enjoyed it so much, he ordered a second one! Amazing food and friendly, attentive staff and not silly expensive! We loved it and will definitely be revisiting Xx

Had a brilliant night at the party night on Sat 29th. The food as expected was beautiful and enjoyed by the eight of us. The belly dancing was brilliant and made the night feel like an authentic Greek evening. The DJ was good and took time to take requests from the next table as the group had a few children with them. I would defo recommend these party nights as it's a brilliant night and great value for money. Will be back

We really enjoyed our pizzas, good variety too. My friend also enjoyed her ploughman’s. Great friendly staff, lovely historical pub .

Excellent food and atmosphere. A night to remember. You get more than just food.

Amazing food, drinks and service. Highly highly recommend the Sunday lunch, and sticky toffee pudding if you can squeeze it in worth every calorie and go for the clotted cream and hazelnut ice cream delicious
