Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Firstly, The food was cold when it finally arrived at 11pm, having been seated for two hours. They had a complete disregard for any allergies as one of my colleagues has wheat allergy and was given pasta, despite explaining this to them. The pasta was taken away and a single carrot was returned in its place. After waiting so long for the food it was poor in standard and not what you would expect for £29.95 per head. Our main concern was the amount of people that were crammed into the venue, despite being told a maximum of 90 people there was a lot more than that, 70 people dining on the main seating and then 70 waiting to dine, added to which the amount of people who were just at the bar. Having spoken to other people this was the main course of concern for everyone – I have reported this problem to the fire service, because upon entering were advised by the hostess to take an alternative route to get into the venue because of the amount of people at the bar, which causes concern of how you would get out?I personally would never visit this venue again, because when speaking to the manager on the evening he did offer any explanation or way of resolving this situation. It was awful and a lady fell downstairs due to traffic on those stairs. Avoid this place for your safety.

Having read your write up, I went there with real expectation. Greeted with "Hiya"; could not find reservation; table partly laid; after being seated glasses just thrown not set as should be; water served in a Pyrex jug; waiter service is not to a std expected in a high class hotel; table was not very clean-stain from previous occupants glasses were seen; food very salty; pudding dry and microwave heated. However, Venison was very nice.

This is second time we have had an evening meal here and it was brilliant! I would have to give it ten out of ten! This is now our favorite restaurant ! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I was actually there on the very first day this restaurant opened in 1978! So, you could rightly say I am biased. However, having eaten at many Indian restaurants all over the UK (including the fabled Rusholme) and Europe, nothing compares to TGOI. Why? Well, everything. The best service. The best atmosphere. Without doubt the best quality food. There is nothing else I can say. If you haven't been then you have missed out. If you have and you disagree then there is something wrong with you. As my good friend from Dudley said to me upon seeing this fantastic Emporium, "I bet that is a great curry house?". Yes.

Having visited the Arion a few times in the last couple of years under previous owners and not being very impressed, I wasn't sure what to expect with the new owners. However, I am so glad I gave it another try!! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. We went as a family for something to eat and were not disappointed. The food was lovely, fairly priced and best of all the children were made to feel welcome too! The manageress Jackie was lovely and went out of her way to talk to us and entertained the children with colouring pens and pictures. Have been back several times and would certainly recommend it!! Also the quiz night is great! Looking forward to the Christmas specials!!

Been a few times within the past year and noticed that the standard has slipped in the past month. Even to the extent of the food being cold when it eventually came

Was here for a hen party meal...absolutely amazing. highly recommended x

Had a meal in here on a quiet night, was not impressed with the level of service received, especially as it was quiet. Food ok, nothing special, which I was expecting.Bit disappointed as I had been recommend.

Went to almond Saturday for a Christmas meal with seven friends.it was the best Christmas dinner I've ever had. Portion sizes were great-very generous.we had a very fussy eater with us but she thoroughly enjoyed her meal too!!! the tables were well dressed.good choice of drinks,excellent service and friendly staff.we will definitely return.

We have made this our local. It has never let us down for a good night out or just as somewhere to go for a good, and definitely value for money meal. The bar and restaurant staff are attentive but not intrusive. Always a good atmosphere, always good entertainment. The management have put together a good place to be and maintain it very well.

What a wonderful pub! We visited for my mothers 85th birthday, the food was fantastic and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and Jackie the manageress made a special fuss of my mother with it being her birthday. A good time was had by all, we will definitely visiting again soon. Thank You

The new evening tapas menu is brilliant. It is excellent value for money and the food is amazing!

Tried the early doors menu, 3 fantastic courses, lovely food in a very friendly atmosphere, definitely will be visiting again :-)

It was my first time in Karma the other day. It was amazing! The food the wine and the beautiful staff! Will definitely be going there again!

6 of us had a table booked last night for 8pm. We waited for over an hour for our starters and finally got our main course at 9.45. Very disappointing.

We were in a traffic diversion which took me past this pub and decided to stop ~ thank goodness we did. The decor was tasteful, the place clean, and the meal was not only excellent quality but plentiful and realistically priced. Thank you Jackie for some good food and refreshment.

We have been eating at Le Boulevard for many years and cannot praise it too highly. From the lovely friendly (but not too familiar) staff to the excellent menu and well cooked and presented meals which are competitively priced and excellent portions.Looking forward to many more delicious lunches.
