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.

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.

I spent a wonderful birthday evening meal here. Monro was chosen because of the claims of fresh food because I am not a fan of frozen ready-made pub meals. I was suitably impressed by every course of the meal and the service was with a smile. We also enjoyed a free bottle of wine courtesy of a Sugarvine offer. I would definitely recommend to my friends.

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

A gem of a restaurant!! Quite possibly the most wonderful dining experience we have enjoyed in a couple of years. The ambience is warm and relaxing, the service pleasantly unhurried and attentive to detail, the front of house staff helpful, friendly and professionally discreet. The food was outstanding, prepared and presented to perfection. Regarding prices, we were 2 adults and 2 children having 5 starters,4 main courses, large beer and small beer, a litre of lovely house red, 2 cokes, jug of iced water, melon and grapes...£85.00 which is no more expensive than any of the Greek restaurants we have visited before...and there are many! Wonderful views as well as subtle and enjoyable music. A real treat...thank you.
