Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

I have visited the Charcoal Grill many times and have never come away disappointed. The food is extremely tasty and plentiful. I doubt you will come away hungry. The bar area is very pleasant and you are made very welcome by all the staff.

I recently visited this restaurant on the basis of the reviews on this website. This is the best tapas I have been too since discovering tapas food several years ago. I would rate this place over La Tasca and La Vina as the quality of the food is excellent and the service. Make sure you try the Potatas bravas. The cost of the meal was very reasonable and would not hesitate in recommending this place to anyone.

Esteban is AMAZING. I've only been in Liverpool for 4 months, and so far I think I've been here about 5-6 times! I brought my parents, sister, and friend from the States here and they all loved it as well. You gotta try the sangria, it is wonderful. If you are looking for a meal that you and your party won't be disappointed with, Esteban is the place!

This has got to be the restaurant offering the best value for money in the nothwest and beyond

I LOVE THIS PLACE WE ALWAYS FEEL VERY WELCOME THEY NEVER FORGET A FACE I HAVE BEEN GOING HERE FOR OVER 7YRS AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS FOOD ALWAYS FANTASTIC & PEOPLE FRIENDLY NOW NO SMOKING BETTER 3 COURSE NOW 10.95 BUT STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY.XX

Excellent food and very attentive service. The seafood was especially fine, not least the delectable risotto, and the chicken was delicious. The vegetarians in the party were also more than satisfied. Be aware, though, that parties of over six people will be subjected to a severely diminished menu as a matter of company policy.

A large improvement since I last visited, food was great, staff polite I just felt the atmosphere has gone down a lot, needs that extra something to bring back the atmosphere.

Good food with good service. Watch out for the "early doors" the menu is quite basic, but with extra for this and extra for that. Pushing the wine to a more expensive one can end up with an "cheap" early doors costing £50 pounds per couple. Stick to the basic menu to get reasonable value for money.

Superb entertainment on first visit, but it no longer holds the same appeal third time round! This restaurant has to be enjoyed whilst in a big group rather than as a couple due to the nature of the seating. The food is out of this world though, even if it is on the pricey side (I think the price covers the cost of the entertainment). Definitely an experience you have to try.

Excellent place to eat, apart from the price!!!

Plenty to choose from on menu although I opted for the 3 course banquet for people arriving before 9pm for £8.50 and duck & pancakes for an extra £2. Large portions and by the time the main meal arrived I was stuffed however they do let you take away any meals. Overall, an enjoyable meal at a reasonable price.

This restaurant is excellent and well worth a trip. The food and service are as good as you will find in some of Liverpool's more notable restaurants but save yourself the taxi fare and give this place a go. Very cheap as well for the quality of the food.

Went here with a few friends after a recommendation by someone who had tried the business lunch (which seems amazing value - its a miniature banquet almost!) From the pre meal snacks with unique pickles (when have you seen lemon pickle before?) to the starters which consisted of fishcake and seafood soup amongst others, some lovely main courses and rice dishes and a nice dessert rounded off a nice experience!

Excellent, hidden gem. Very authentic from the furnishings and service right through to the yummy food.

My wife and I go to this restaurant most weeks and find it to be really good, although, not the least expensive of its kind. However, we consider it to give good value for the money. The staff are attentive and helpful and we would particularly like to say that Bernard is particularly good at dealing with customers.

My favourite restaurant, the food and staff are honestly great!

We had a fantastic night at Spire - great food, lovely staff and really nice atmosphere. I would recommend it to anyone.

It's simple dishes, nothing out of the ordinary, but deliciously prepared. Wonderful service, (the waiter even taught my friend the different functions on her camera when we asked for a picture) enough staff to get their attention when you want something but all kept busy so they aren't hovering over your meal! Good wine and all rather inexpensive. Highly recommend
