Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

We booked a table at this restaurant for myself, my husband and another couple. Our waiter was pleasant but informed us that they had no more bottles of Pinot Grigio. We then asked if he could sell us the Chablis (£5 more expensive than the Pinot) for a cheaper price as that was my other favourite as well as the Pinot they had ran out if. He asked the miserable faced manager. and his answer was no. We thought he could have been a little more apologetic or at least offer an alternative. When the food arrived, it was generally very nice except for one of the side dishes of Bombay potatoes which was served to the table, stone cold. The dish was hot, but the potatoes were not. The general lack of friendliness and customer service has tainted the night for me and I wouldn't rush back there. Such simple things, what a shame.

went here on a saturday day night expecting turkish food eg simple turkish chill sauce and there was none insight was told by the waiter people in liverpool don't like it , i feel so sorry for people in liverpool because i feel there getting a raw deal when it comes to eating out , this place is more like a kebab shop , if you really want to get something close to the real thing try a place i found in widnes called efe's and not this rip off place elif as you can see the names nearly the same as the REAL ONE IN LIVERPOOL EFE'S

I truly enjoyed my evening at the Italian club fish. It was comfortable , relaxing with great service and the food was superb! Looking forward to my next visit where I will be bringing more family & friends .

Food was lovely but customer service was very poor. Our order was incomplete one meal however we had the rice from that meal. They agreed to rush it out to us. Then shortly after we were rung back demanding us to pay for the meal. In the end we refused as one of our party had no food and I don't see why we should pay for there mistake. Very disappointed we've used them frequently but won't again after their attitude. Greatly inconvenienced.

I visited this new restaurant last week and I was very pleasantly surprised. The staff gave us a warm friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The interior is bright and very attractive. The food we ordered arrived promptly. The poppadums were crisp and fresh and the dips were delicious. My curry looked and tasted wonderful and it was piping hot. I really enjoyed my first visit to Holdi restaurant and I look forward to going back soon.

Had the best evening birthday ever, Hidden gem. Stu.

This is a great eating place. Easy parking at the back, excellent staff and a good menu, which covers most people. Reasonably priced for what offered. Now been twice since it opened and would give it 5. Indeed, the family is now booked in for New Year.

Visited this restaurant 9.11.12 with my husband and daughter. The food was so fresh, well cooked and well presented. The flavours were beautiful. The staff were lovely and friendly. It's a long time since I had such a good meal in a restaurant, We all had something different and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our food and the ambience of the place. This is much superior to the previous restaurant of Kinsellas and I know how popular it used to be. My suggestion is to give this a try, you will not be disappointed. Never been to Turkey, but now hope to visit. If the food in Rose Lane Antalya is anything to go by, I'll be on the next plane. Will definitely be going to this restaurant again, probably next week....we're hooked!

We visited Christakis,Smithdown Rd to celebrate my birthday at the beginning of October! there was 12 of us and we truly enjoyed ourselves lovely restaurant, beautiful food, and the service was exeptional and very friendly, we had young children with us who were also catered , i would highly recommend this resaurant, and will be booking again this Sunday for 13 of us ;-)

All our family use to come here with our mother for many years, sadly in 1994 our mother pasted away, I moved to another country, & in 2007 I returned to England , we now live in Liverpool we where going out for something to eat so we decided to call at the Charcoal , even though it was very sad for me, with my mother being with us ordering her APPLE PIE & CUSTARD it brought a lot of lovely memories back to me , remembering the good times we had & how very special just going for a meal with someone you love is. The meal was EXCELLENT & of course I had apple pie & custard. Now as we are back living in the North West I certainly will bring my children & grandchildren & carry on the great memories, thank you so much for making my night a night I will never forget. The staff are very helpful it is a great place to have a great meal & very good value for money.

Four of us went for the first time last saturday - but it wont be the last time we go there! We had a wonderful meal sitting a booth upstairs. The service was impeccable and the food superb. Highly recommended

After seeing the most recent review of Sheldrakes we were a little apprehensive about dining here. However, after spending a lovely afternoon I can honestly say that I've never had a meal so good! Sorry but I really don't agree with the comments from the last reveiwer. The food was fantastic, the staff were extremely professional and attentive and the whole experience was fantastic! A birthday treat that certainly delivered! I had the smoked salmon and lobster cake starter while my husband had the bass with rhubarb. For main course we had the turbot and the venison and I can honestly say that the turbot was the best I've ever eaten. These guys really know how to cook fish. This restaurant is a real gem of a place. You'd never find it if you didn't know it was there. Please make the effort to find it - it's really worth it!

This cafe is a proper dump I got food poisoning from here was in agony for a week

We have been going to Asiana as a takeaway for a long time and have never been disappointed. Recently managed to go for a sit down meal having arranged a babysitter. This gave me the opportunity to have one of the sizzling fish platters which I had been wanting to try but hadn't been convinced it would work as a takeaway. Wow it was so good, never been disappointed with this restaurant and it means we don't have to venture far to enjoy the best curry in Liverpool

The food is very good,staff very friendly,we go there for special occasions and really enjoy it, will keep on going there..

Really great atmosphire,lovely decor and food very enjoyable.Have booked again

Had a lovely meal at New York Cut in Liverpool this weekend. The service was fantastic, excellent customer service and I was even called back today to see if we enjoyed it. More importantly the steak was amazing, its a really nice intimate place and the background music was live piano. Really enjoyed it and cant wait to go back, you wont be disappointed.

Went last Saturday to Gusto under protest really as Italian wouldn't be my 1st choice. Chose the Rib eye for this reason and it was one the best steaks I have had. Service good and atmosphere great, very "buzzy". Will return.
