Ego Restaurant Heswall has always been a Favorite of mine ever since it opened 11 years ago, but over the last 18 months it has gone down hill, It still has it's vibrant atmosphere but the service and food is just getting worse, the waitress serving the downstairs front window has been so miserable for the last 18 months. The Gambas al Pil Pil King prawns sauteed with garlic and chill which my wife always orders has got smaller last month served with five small prawns in a six inch diameter dish, now its being served in a three inch diameter relish dish, I thought it was a joke, then after waiting 45 minutes for my wifes well done steak, only to arrive poring with blood which she hates they have not been able to get the steaks done to our liking over the last 18 months,I ordered Haddock in a Bag Sustainable line caught haddock baked with fennel & fresh seasonal vegetables served with cous cous, it was unbelievable the tail of haddock with dry tasteless cous cous served in TIN-FOIL our guests where laughing saying we should have gone to the chippy,,I did complain and the manager was very apologetic, but the point is you should not have to complain you should be able to go out and enjoy the food,

Have to be negative I'm afraid. Not usually a fan of Ego's as food a bit bland and overpriced for what it is, but your voucher offer persuaded us to try them again. I was upfront about the voucher when booking by phone, as have been in situation where restaurant has refused voucher if not told in advance. BIG MISTAKE as treated like 2nd class citizens I felt, as a consequence. Starters took about 45 mins to come, while those seated after us tucked in. Was told mezze plate took time to plate up, though not sure why house salad with feta added, shop bought pitta and greek dips takes so long to put on plate (hummus probably was homemade but had little in the way of tahini, lemon or other seasoning to make it interesting, so shop bought might have been better)
Pointing out delay politely made little difference and 11/2 hours after arrival, when we were just about to walk out, main courses arrived, and couldn't say quality made up for the wait.
The moral: don't let on 'til you pay about any vouchers. Even though ironically the restaurant was advertising them on board outside, they obviously don't like them. Better still, go to MEZZE Mediterranean restaurant in Liscard, where full-priced food will still cost you less and all be homemade and delicious, including the heavenly homemade pitta bread. It's been there years and has loyal clientele, which speaks volumes!

Excellent food and attentive service. My steak was cooked to perfection and the creme brulee was delicious!

Excellent, excellent restaurant. We went for the pre 7pm deal, which was fabulous value. Really nicely prepared and tasty food with very pleasant non-intrusive service. Nice atmosphere, too. If I lived in Liverpool I'd be eating here all the time!

I regularly go to Ego for a girls night out every couple of months and I can honestly say I have never had a meal that has been anything less than perfect. The service is always spot on, and is friendly and attentive, even when it is busy. We have never been rushed to order or to vacate our table I would thoroughly recommend it.
Ego Mediterranean Restaurant
Excellent food, nice atmosphere, meditteranean decor, big wooden tables upstairs, nice bar, good service. What more can I say? The variety of food is varied but not too outlandish, comfortable waiting time between courses, no hurry but not slow, a great place to go and a great area within a short driving distance of some nice places to go in the daytime or nearby pubs of an evening.

My wife and I had an early meal here from the 'Prix Fixe' menu which is available until 7pm on weekdays. The food was very good and excellent value. There is a rather limited choice on the Prix Fixe menu, but I am sure that is necessary to achieve the low prices. I had steak. It was a very good one and cooked exactly as I requested. A very good restaurant that I will use again.

Dined hear twice this month both times at "private" functions for 15 and 30 respectively. Excellent service and quality of food and great value once again.

The nicest restaurant for miles around-perfect on a beautiful summers evening, because the food is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is lovely. Its expensive, but great for an occasion.
