Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Love it Love it Love it. I have been 3 or 4 times and every time was excellent. My partner and I eat out as often as possible, and I have to say this is my favourite place to go. There is not one thing I could complain about (except perhaps I do not get there enough) Food, Service and surroundings are all top notch at a very reasonable price.

We have dined at The Portrait House on a number of occasions and have always enjoyed it. Recently, I held a surprise birthday party there for my wife. Everything was organised by The Portrait House and the whole event was just perfect. I cannot thank them enough. They arranged live music, welcome drinks, provided a really excellent buffet - not the usual sausage rolls and sandwiches, etc., and the price was very reasonable indeed. I wholeheartedly recommend The Portrait House.

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. W

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.

We enjoyed the Sunday offer. What a fabulous way to spend the afternoon! The food was delicious and the wine a great compliment. Would definitely recommend this place!

This was our first experience of Greek cuisine and we were not disappointed. Although small, the restaurant was warm and friendly. Staff were pleasant and welcoming. We had prawn cocktail followed by the Greek banquet and the whole meal was first class. Every dish was freshly cooked and served piping hot. The chocolate cake looked and tasted heavenly. Brilliant night.

...First time we went was ok, However the second time was a joke...the menu had just changed(only after i ate i found out it had been changed from Freshly cooked food to Microwave meals) The meal, ...Kids meal with raw chicken...yes RAW However the chef said the pink was bacon. My meal Hunters Chicken, Cold meat, sent back...My misses's meal...Blatently microwaved...with cheese in the sauce...no mention of this on the menu...She cant eat dairy! The mothering law's meal....Even after the second attempt at stuffed chicken breast we got chicken breast with a blob of dry sauce on top,no mushrooms as per menu with no rocket with dressing, The chicken was RAW...the chef then said it was bacon (Even though no bacon on the dish he insisted it was) However we knew it was RAW...We were offered a sandwich to replace it!!!!!!!!! This dish alone was £11...Which they refunded, after telling us that it came out a pack.... HOW THIS PLACE CAN TRADE SELLING MICROWAVE JUNK< WHICH IS RAW I DO NOT KNOW. call me before you waste your cash Ed 07772000000

Definitely worth visit, my husband and I go here regularly, Try the prawn stuffed peppers,they are to die for!! Great value and really good food.

Tried The Munro for the first time on Friday night(23April) the food and the service was outstanding.I haven't been to a restaurant in ages where all of us enjoyed every mouthful of food.The taste and freshness of the food was unbelievable and we heard the main chef was off and the sous chef took his place for that night.We had the salmon,duck and steak and all was cooked to perfection.The atmosphere was great too. Definitely will return in the near future.I would recommend the Munro to any great foodie out there and believe me I am fussy!

This is one of the best Greek restaurants I've been to in a long time, the food is fresh and tasty, the meat always cooked to perfection the salads light and refreshing, as you'd expect in a good quality Greek Restaurant. The wine and beer authentic and excellent value - as is the food. The atmosphere is charming and relaxed, the service is of a very high standard. A must visit.

I really love Gusto and go regularly. I have had romantic meals for two, dining on lobster and champagne and also taken the kids whilst they love making their own pizzas at great value. The service is great and a good menu to choose from. I think great value aswell.

Fantastic restaurant, atmosphere wonderful and food, the best on the Wirral. Very Child friendly, with child portions. Staff are very helpful and courteous. Always busy, even at 6.30 mid week. Have tried other places, but always come back to the Venezia. Prices are reasonable and portions are very good.

We stumbled upon this pub/restaurant by accident and we were not disappointed. Both the food and service were excellent, the ambience of the place was good. My wife had the pate starter, this was the most beautiful pate we have ever tasted. I will be visiting again, and do not hesitate to recommend this place
