Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

We visit the Derby Pool about once a month, normally during the daytime. Last visited on 19th. September 2008 and the food was excellent along with the service. I would highly recommend it for pub food with a difference, and the price is right too, especially if you eat before 6.30 p.m. You can help yourself to the excellent salad bar if you order a meal. It's a lovely venue to eat at before or after a walk or cycle ride along the track from New Brighton to Meols. Well worth a visit.

Love the food and the atmosphere, really great service and just makes you want to go back for more, would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Went last Friday (12/9/08), had a really lovely meal, the staff were excellent, the food was hot plentiful and nicely served, and the cost was very reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a nice Chinese meal out.

We visited the Monro on Sunday 7th September and we were very disappointed, we had been several times and always found the service and food very good....however whilst we received our starter and waiting an extra 50 minutes for the main meal - other diners had received all of their courses including coffees and bills....when we asked where our starter was we were told- chef said 5 mins! after 15 mins(in total 50 mins) we received our main....the chicken dishes were just about cooked and I left mine because I was concerned about the colour of the chicken....when I paid the bill I raised my concerns about waiting so long and was told that the chef wouldn't have forgotten us and not given any other explanation....we paid £60 for a very poor meal and service...we were going to book the monro for my son's birthday but not now....we won't be going back

this really isn't a recommendation I'm afraid. we went to this restaurant with high expectations, the place was great, the location very nice, the people and service excellent and the menu looked brilliant, then the food actually came out!! the steak fillet was burnt and that was the only thing on the plate and this did not come with anything else, so please order sides with your dish's and for just under £20.00 for a plate with a burnt small piece of meat in the middle and no other taste apart from charcoal so order drinks. my partner had the 'half of lobster' and being realistic i just thought this was a oversized shrimp on her plate, but to be fair this was very very tasty indeed. far to pricey for the food produced. in the end we left and went to go and find another restaurant to make us full (we are average sized people, bordering on skinny.) all in all i have had better meals at a brewsters for nearly %70 of the cost. i just think this place is here to rip off the tourist.

Great fun, great food, great place, and good entertainment, not the cheapest but worth it.

Food very very nice, great chef he was nice too, actually love the chef we wanted to take him home (can we?) We had a great time really glad we came.

Ive been here every year for my birthday with my family, Its cheap & the portions are huge! Lovely staff, Great restaurant!

Hurray....a bar with warm friendly staff and customers. Stylish and comfortable, definitely has the edge. Love the food, upstairs is very boutique feeling. And the music is excellent. Thank you a venue to feel 100% easy, and great value too.

Since our last visit the prices of some dishes have increased dramatically.£22.95 surf & turf? As a family we eat out a lot and I don't think the prices here are competitive, especially in view of the current economic climate. Food was ok, and served quickly by our very friendly and attentive waitress. However, the owner glared at us after we had mentioned the price increases and shortly after finishing our first drinks, asked us rather frostily "Do you WANT another drink?". We used to eat here quite regularly before the current ownership. We won't be going again.
