Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I've been going to Etsu since it first opened and have ever since. The staff are brilliant and very friendly. I always suggest Etsu at every opportunity and everyone that I've brought with me always enjoys the food. It's definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Liverpool and I'd go everyday if I could!

Went back for first time in 16 years, not because of any complaint with the food, just that I moved out of the area. Had good meal which was well priced with good sized portions. Rice was a little cold with my meal but would recommend again.

Ate here June 2008 with my wife before a concert, had the best fish and chips I have eaten, sea bass in Tempura Batter, superb. Recommended to friends and ate there last Sunday, bad mistake tasted and looked like either findus or birds eye, which is fine except it cost me £11.

I enjoyed a pleasant after work meal at the Almond Restaurant which has been open since the end of January 2009. The menu gives plenty of choice and the food is excellent and well presented. A nice relaxing evening. I will definitely go again.

Can I just thank everyone at Pushka for a fantastic night and great food. Me and my wife had three courses and the food was fantastic so top marks to the chef. I would also like to say how good the waiter Matt was. He sat down and explained all the specials and it was nice to see how much he knew about each dish so thanks Matt. All in all i would tell everyone i know to visit and mark it 10/10 Thanks Pushka

In keeping with most people in the current economic climate, value for money is a major issue for us in choosing our dining experiences. We have to say that Yiamas on Borough Road is an oasis in a desert of mediocrity on Wirral. The food can only be described as outstanding, the ingredients are obviously top class and prepared by a more than competent chef. With excellent service. In these days of pre-packed, microwaved pub-chain type venues, this place really is a breath of fresh greek island air.

I visit Liverpool as a tourist. I was disappointed as the food is not original thai!!!!!!the test is more like chinese food. ( all staff and chefs are not THAI)

Went last night and the banquet was the best Chinese food i have ever had. Service was good, an extremely enjoyable evening.

In all honesty I can only say don't go there- especially for breakfast. The food is fine but the service especially by the youngish girl this morning was appalling and bordering on offensive. We did not leave a tip and will not be returning. Friends of ours are emigrating to Australia on Wednesday and after a last night out we decided to go for a last hangover cure breakfast. We decided to go to Esteban where we have been on many occasions over the years. Unfortunately this proved to be a mistake. The food was fine - although the breakfast menu is limited and is not children-friendly however the service was appalling. Upon arrival the restaurant was not yet open and did not open until 5 past 12 although the advertising board outside claimed that breakfast is served between 12 and 3. By the time it was actually opened quite a crowd had gathered. The woman who opened the door invited people to take seats. There was a sign asking for people to wait to be seated however no-one was there to greet us. We made our way to a table suitable for seven and were we have sat on many occasions in the past. We were then accosted in the most arrogant manner by the 'waitress' who demanded to know how many were in our party, even though there were clearly other people taking their own seats in the restaurant and who were not addressed in the same manner. Our orders were taken by another waitress who was inoffensive. We each ordered full English breakfasts but with different extras. However when our breakfasts arrived the rude young girl announced "Full English breakfast" to the tavle and when we pointed out to her that no-one had ordered a plain English breakfast she just kept repeating this like a mantra. The other waitress then brought more breakfasts and explained that the extras were coming on separate plates - which does not make a great deal of sense since we were already crowded on the table and as it turned out made it diffiuclt to account for what had been provided. In the end we did not receive two of the extras that we had ordered. I do not see how the rude young waitress could not have simply told us that the extras were coming separately. It was only the fact that this was the last occasion that I would see my friends for a while that we did not complain at the time. Nevertheless we will not be returning and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We went to Antonellis last night for a friends birthday after not going for many years and was very impressed and very pleasantly surprised with the change. They had a new more contemporary Italian menu and I went with the goats cheese filo pastry parcels to start which were fab and then the osso buco veal for mains which was as good as the one I had on holiday in Milan! Very tender meat with tomato sauce, a hint of orange and the rice had a taste of parmesan cheese to it... Yum! All in all it was definately so good that it won't be years before I go back again next time, more like next week to try more of the menu!

my wife and i visited othellos last night and as we are regular visiters to greece and eat at greek restaurants at home on a regular basis we see ourselves as quite aware what is good and what is not in greek quesine.the service was first class the restaurant was spotless and inviting and the chef and his staff are superb. the food was well presented, the choice was huge and the all round restaurant gets 10 out of 10 . thanks for a great night, george and christine.

Came here for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, very friendly staff, the room was set out nice, clean, the menu so much choice took me almost 10 mins to decide what to have. They had anniversary balloons on our table and when we finished our main meals they played congratulations and came over with ice cream with a candle in, then took our photo and presented it in a anniversary card. We sat by the window looking across the mersey at all the twinkling lights, would be even better if it was when the sun is just going down. I will be going here again .

Me and my boyfriend have a meal here every week & my family have been going here for near 10 years. We enjoy the restaurants wonderful food, wine staff, service and above all its atmosphere. Anyone who goes here is in for a treat and they always make room for you even when its fully booked! excellent restaurant in the heart of Waterloo.

I've been to Neighbourhood on several occasions, and have never been let down! The food is superb, as is the atmosphere and customer service. The apple crumble is unbelievable!

Allerton Hall ( Pub in the Park ) is very near to me. I used to frequent the establishment once a week or more during the Summer months. My last visit was last week 15/2/09. I was left gobsmacked at how down hill the restaurant has gone since my last visit before Christmas. My food was cold, took about 40 mins to arrive, and you can just tell, that the ingredients are all frozen and cooked by inexperienced staff. I do not think I will be frequenting this establishment again. It is such a pity this place has gone down hill as it could be such a lovely place to dine. I would rather pay triple the money and get the rif raf out, rather than pay and sit watching these places go into the ground. Please someone bring some hope and let me and my family enjoy dining again at Allerton hall.

Best pizza in Liverpool! Without a doubt!

I've been a Villa Romana regular for over 10 years now - it's definitely my favourite restaurant in Liverpool! The food is always fresh and tasty, and the staff are attentive. Delfino, the typically Italian manager, seems to really care about his customers! I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough! Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

We ate at Cafe Porto twice, once for the tapas and again for the evening menu. The food is fantastic and very authentic. The restaurant is quite cozy, staff are friendly and the prices are very reasonable. The option to bring your own wine is great as you get to take along your own favourites. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be dining there again very soon!
