VERY VERY DISSAPOINTED. TOOK MENU AWAY AS SOON AS ORDERED FOOD, WAS NOTHING LIKE ON THE MENU, CAME HOME VERY HUNGRY.

Fabulous meal last night. We used vouchers, which were a gift. What a lovely meal. Thank you. Linen, candles, fAb food, nice 'background music, quiet, so we could talk. Def recommend you. Coming back.

Tucked away in a little side street in Southport is probably one of the finest eateries in this popular seaside resort (and despite rumours to the contrary, I can confirm that the sea is out there somewhere). Although it is billed as a coffee shop, I prefer to describe it as an eatery as I believe that it is more than a mere coffee shop or café although let’s not get carried away it is perhaps not quite a restaurant. However the food served is certainly up to restaurant standards and at a fraction of restaurant prices. The beauty of a visit to Lucy’s is that if it’s just a ‘cuppa’ or a full blown meal then you will not be disappointed with the twin experience of excellent fare and a friendly welcome. ‘Her Who Must Be Fed’ and I discovered this little haven some months ago when a rather heavy shower drove us to find the nearest shelter and fortunately for us it turned out to be Lucy’s (Kismet at its best). We ordered coffee, tea bread and scones, which we enjoyed immensely. We were even more pleased when we paid the bill as our fare was classed as a ‘morning special’ and turned out to be great value. Since then our weekly day out to Southport would not be complete without a trip to Lucy’s in Anchor Street, where we have observed fellow diners enjoying everything from a sandwich to a full blown meal and it all looks and smells most appetizing. The staff are most welcoming and friendly and nothing appears to be too much trouble for them and if you wish to learn anything about the ‘Windy City’ there is a most genial gentleman waiting on tables who will be only to pleased to tell you all about it. For more information about one of Southport’s best kept secrets then why not visit the website. Oh! I nearly forgot; free Wi-Fi is also available for those who cannot bear to be without their smart phones and tablets, even when dining.

Excellent evening, food best in area without a doubt.

If the owners of this pub had any decency, they'd have some consideration for the fact that they are in a neighbourhood surrounded by housing. But no, they will let people sit out screaming, shouting, swearing and arguing until after midnight. Certain other pubs don't even let you sit out past 6pm out of consideration for the neighbours. Too much to ask to maybe close your beer garden (kids football field) at 9pm or 10pm?

Thank you Yasemin for a wonderful birthday ngt on Saturday evening. We all had a wonderful night. The food the staff just excellent. Loved the birthday banners and my free cocktail! Perfect night. Thankyou

Lovely pub, great atmosphere, £2.25 pint of carling! Husband loves Blue moon on draught, good food and prices, manageress very obliging, made us very welcome, cant keep away from the place, give it ago,

Not been yet...like to see menu.

Went to tes Riley's on Monday 27th July 15, brilliant atmosphere and the singer was brilliant. Will definitely visit again and perhaps try the food.

I have been going to the Casa Italia for years, and I have never been disappointed. The food is great and plenty of it, the best Italian Bread ever. My favourite dish is Tortellini all Panna so filling, don't bother looking at the desert menu after this. My 13 year old niece now loves the place and when in Liverpool its no longer Macdonalds for her. Would totally recommend. Gets very very busy on Fridays and Saturdays so get their early or expect to wait.

Excellent food good service, larger inside than out Reasonably priced. Good sized portions syarter and main filled me and I have a good appertite.

Fabulous had lunch there today food excelant, service excelant, reminds me of the many times I dined at the everyman, staff were helpful, chatty, took the time to explain some of the items on the menue. Had a cherry frangipan tart for desert it's to die for. Taking some friends there next week.

What a lovely place to sit and enjoy a sandwich in the sunshine. I really enjoyed it.

Wow !! Wot a night, excellent food and service, very busy restaurant, could not fault anything, very good size portions and priced very reasonable, would recommend this restaurant, it was our first time there and certainly won't be the last. Thank you for making my husbands birthday even more special.

Love this lovely cafe. Friendly lady owner serving delicious food and drinks along with a smile for everyone. A haven of peace in Southport!

Just had a fabulous meal with my lovely son at So Salsa I would highly recommend this restaurant. Good food nice atmosphere and great price. Will be back very soon.

Myself and my other half went in for he first time today, 26.06.15 , they had a busy lunch time and there was only one small table left but they were very pleasant and accommodated us by letting us sit in the formal restaurant part at the back to give us more space. The Owner and staff are very friendly and very attentive to your needs by making sure they check on you regularly incase you want something which is nice, the food was really lovely, spot on. Nice place :) we are going back next weekend for an evening meal we would definitely recommend :)

My wife and I visited the Forge today on the recommendation of one of the tourist ladies....we had a fantastic lunch....I am a big fan of liver and onions and duly ordered same....the liver was the best I had tasted and I complimented the chef accordingly. The Eton mess as a dessert was out of this world......not the cheapest place in town but frankly you get what you pay for.....
