Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

Thanks For a superb meal we'll see ya Friday Andy & Liz

it was a fabulous wedding reception venue for my daughter and new son in law, it was chilled but special, the entertainment was really enjoyed by young and old alike.

We had our Wedding reception here is july 2006, the food was fantastic. the service was second to none. and the atmosphere was brilliant. we hired the whole room for the afternoon and with over 100 guests, they made everyone feel so special. Finally the cost was very resonable.

Having visited Bistro Pierre in Button Street on a number of occasions it was only a matter of time before I ate at the sister restaurant. Parking was so so easy, parking bays outside of the restaurant - unheard of in Liverpool these days. The decor was fresh, dark reds, cream and oak table & chairs. It was only mid afternoon so we managed to get a window seat. The service was just as good as Bistro Pierre, one or two new faces on the payroll but the staff who remembered us made a fuss. As always the food is great and priced fairly in today? competitive market. Its ideally placed for the Philharmonic and Students who are based in that area of town have a night of their own (Tuesdays I think). I loved Bistro Pierre but I suspect some regulars (those that are more mobile than others & wouldn? quibble at getting to the top of Hardman street) may change their allegiance. Keep up the good work Mark & Steven and my wife and I will be long term customers.

Fantastic restaurant. could not complain about the food at all. if i was to complain about something it would be there is to much choice. portions are huge, i wouldn't bother with starter. i recommend if you are going in the evening to book as it is a small restaurant and will i was there it could of been filled 3 times over. when ordering do this by number as staff speak little English and there is so much to choice from it makes it a lot easier this way. hope you enjoy it as much as i did

On mon our party of 11 were booked in for our graduation meal. when we arrived we went straight to the bar for cocktails and aperitifs, the "graduates" were offered a cocktail each and the service was friendly and chatty, then we were taken up in the restaurant for our meal. the set menu was lovely, it had something for everyone, the only flaw i can think of was that the meals didn't come with many vegetables so we had to get a few side dishes but they were hardly touched as the meal was very filling! at the end of the meal staff bought a graduation cake over to the table too! this bar/restaurant is amazing, it is somewhere to bring your mates, parents and grandparents, everyone will be blown away by its beauty!

Straight to the table no waiting Very, very friendly. The banter between the owner and waitress amazingly entertaining. The food was excellent and the portions were massive. Excellent range on menu in pizzeria and also restaurant upstairs. I've tried both. Cannot fault it. Starter ribs are to die for. Home made Paté best I've ever, ever tasted. Totally recommended. Definitely going back.

Everyone i mention this place to looks at me and thinks oh no!!! but me and my girlfriend went there for a romantic meal and it was really lovely, wine was good, food was good, everything was good!! It is quite open planned (no booths) and it is on a corner where EVERYONE looks in at you eating but hey you can see that when you walk in! Its a very nice place I will go there again!! Just thought i would boost this restaurants ratings since it totally deserves it!!

I think Esteban is very pleasant place to eat. I like to go there with my friends a lot, we enjoyed Esteban very much. All the staff is very helpful and approachable, especially all the foreign girls. I can? forget to mention quality of food which is always just lovely!!!!! I have no bad things to say about Esteban. Just keep it like it is!!! Regards to the Spanish management as well.

The Parisian jewel of Liverpool. This place has it all. Ambience that rivals the quaintest west London bistros and a superb reasonably priced menu. It can be addictive! The menu changes frequently with a 5.95 3 course lunch rapide, to a Wednesday night special offer with free bottle of wine, which can often lead to a hangover

Lovely home made cakes, sandwiches and light meals. The star turn for me is the scone with clotted cream, jam and butter with a pot of tea for £1.50 - superb. Only drawback is that it can get rather stuffy and cramped inside.

Can? wait to visit the Tai Pan again. The service and the food is the best money can buy.

Extremely good food at a reasonable price for the quality you receive. A very, elegant place with lovely staff. This place is a credit to Liverpool.

Went to Nicola's for a meal with all the family after my graduation...age range 7-65 and there was something for everybody. Very child friendly - there is a children? menu and kids are able to make their own pizza! All of the food was lovely, will especially recommend the kebabs. Service was quick and the waiters were more then willing to help but with a laid back atmosphere so they were not in your face. Would definitely recommend this place we all had a great time - a fantastic end to my time in Liverpool!

after a slow start with ordering and getting drinks, our starters of scallops and a fresh crab risotto were delicious and piping hot. the main course of lamb with dauphinoise potato was also very good although the portion of potato was a bit on the small side for the quantity of lamb. the side order of vegetables were nicely cooked and piping hot. the selection of desserts on the fixed price menu was a little limited, we would of liked to see some seasonal fruit selection but settled for baked egg custard and cookies with cream. on the whole a very enjoyable evening and we will be returning to try the Sunday brunch menu.

The food was amazing and the service equally as good. Would recommend anyone to go.

Food here has improved immensely since the earlier days. Defo value for money and worth a try.

Often meet with friends for the early bird menu and am yet to be disappointed. Great choice and great food!
