Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

we planned a special meal at the Panoramic and really researched the Liverpool restaurants before taking the plunge.We know the eating establishments in the city well and Panoramic would have the generous good quality of 60 Hope Street but in a great setting. I ordered a cooked fois gras starter.It was fridge cold at the bottom.The portions are all very small.I broke into a bread roll only to find a hair had been baked into it horror of horrors. I discreetly told the pompous french maitre d' who arrogantly retorted "well, its not one of my hairs"!! He left the roll on the table and half an hour later returned and asked me if I was eating it or not. No apology, no gesture of grace from the restaurant.If you are looking for somewhere special for a plush meal please don't patronise this establishment.The food cannot compare to the consistently good 60 Hope Street or Fraiche in Oxton or even the Bar and Grill on Brunswick Street.It is such a shame that restaurants like Panoramic are rewarded with custom simply on the basis of what you see out of its windows.This is my first restaurant review.I am not in the habit of reporting every poor meal but I am appalled at the idea of any other poor souls spending their hard earned cash and precious time in a restaurant as unworthy and uninterested in the quality of their service and food, as this one.

First time visit to Chilli Banana 30th july , it will be the fist of many we were well impressed . Great friendly staff , although we have been to a few Thai places ,this is by far the best , the menu was very varied with lots of dishes we have never seen before . the food was very well presented , sea bass and green chicken curry ( best we have eaten ) for the main course . Lovely place

went with a friend 29th july, all went well, we had scallops, to start, salmon, and sea bass for main, wine, cheese, and tia maria coffee, the next day, we were both ill, my friend came home from work!!! i rang owens to see if anybody else ill with the fish!!! all they said was they were sorry, and we spent £100 to be ill, and off work....wont be going over the doors again.

I had heard many good things about Bistrot Verite and they were all absolutely right. The atmosphere, service, staff and of course the most important part ,the food ,was absolutely delicious. I had "Creamy smoked haddock & spinach gratin which was to die for you. It was accompanied by the best new potatoes and vegetables I had eaten in a long time ,so much so I finished the lot and had no room for a dessert. Good excuse to return!!

been coming here for 7 years for special occasions and simply meals out (even had our wedding breakfast here!) always lovely and not one complaint.

The Ying Wah has recently been refurbished to a high standard and we thought we would give it a go.....we are glad we did, the food was excellent, the staff are extremely friendly and the service is great. The staff really do go that extra mile and take the time out to ensure everything is perfect for you.

Pregos restaurant in Aintree - The Management are sooooo arrogant. When I complained about my colleagues and my meal he was the rudest man you could meet and said that is how the staff talk to customers in his restaurant - aghast - I would strongly advise against going the this restaurant.

AWESOME FOOD!!!! eat here the food is amazing full of flavour, something for everyone!

My husband and I visited the Left Bank recently - great meal, good value for money and good service but I was very upset when I discovered there was no level access toilet. I was shown to the staff toilet in a store room when I complained. Why can't they state that their restaurant is unsuitable for disabled customers? We will not be going again.

As fine as any Indian restaurant on Merseyside, and that's saying quite a lot. Delectable shashlik, reshmi kebab and lamb chops - oh, and a delicious chicken chat, but all the starters that we've had are recommended. Among the mains we've been particularly delighted by the lamb tawa and the mangolian fish curry. We travel from across the river, and it's emphatically worth the journey.

Definitely one of the best restaurants i've been to in a long long time. The food was magnificent and there was plenty of it as well! The staff made our night very special due to their kindness and friendliness. Well worth a visit:)

The food is always exciting and fresh, as that in the Ego restaurant in Heswell. Liverpool has the advantage that we can use public transport and have as much wine as we like with the scrumptious food!

freshly cooked food, really tasty. Sangria was especially good! Staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere, really busy for a Tuesday night! Can't wait to go back.

Since the re-furb its only got better. Great staff, excellent food at great prices and a fab atmosphere. The best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to - would never go to any other. Keep up the good work ;)

We where booked in the restaurant at 9 0clock did not sit down till 9 30 the waiter took our order at about 9 45 we finally had our starter at 10 15 having said that the food when it came was excellent The tables where very close together causing one of our party being knocked a few times But to us what let this restaurant down was the attitude of two of the staff who where very rude and because of this we will not be returning to this restaurant

I have never wrote a review before for anything, but felt i had no choice after eating here!! Went to this restaurant last night with my partner for my birthday as the reviews looked really good. A couple of people said it was expensive but as it was a special night decided to pay that little bit more for food which was supposed to be 'out of this world'. To say that we were disappointed is an understatement. The King Prawn starters were very bland, and after ordering Foccacia with just olive oil rosemary and salt we were given a tomato based pizza bread instead.. For our main my partner ordered USDA 40 day matured steak, which cost £23.00 and was once again tasteless, under seasoned and chewy. The chips which came with it tasted like frozen ones too.I ordered chicken in breadcrumb with spaghetti and the chicken was very dry and all we could taste in the spaghetti was lots of basil!!! I couldn't eat it, and left half the chicken and all the spaghetti. To top it all off we were charged over £8 service charge and got stung with a £94 bill, which included just one drink each!!! We will definitely not be going to this restaurant again and can't understand why it is one of the top ten Italians in the UK. Completely spoiled our night as we felt we were ripped off, and not even for nice food. If you want a nice Italian in Liverpool please do not go here, we will be going back to our usual San Carlos!

First visit last night - lovely place , staff friendly and decor tasteful and subtle pinks/creams.Food delicious - we had a banquet - very reasonable - will defo be going back for more ! 10/10
