Reviews in St.Helens

The food is always excellent and as the staff are students training, the service is always of a high quality.

I work as a chef in colours restaurant and I think the food is fantastic for the price paid. The staff make u feel very welcome and the outstanding teamwork and work relationships really come across in the food produced. I would really recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food at fantastic prices. The service is second to none. What more can I say - highly recommended.

You cannot go wrong with a meal at the Bottle and Glass. Yes, it is nearly always busy but if you go at off peak times i.e. in the middle of the afternoon or early evening, you should always be able to get a table and your wait for food won't be very long. I have been here on a number of occasions and have sampled quite a few dishes from the menu and specials board. The food is always delicious and is greatly complimented by their extensive wine list. Their Pinot Grigio is gorgeous or if you are a red wine lover, I am told that their Shiraz is lovely as well. The ambience is also something that will pull you back time and time again. It is so relaxed. The tables are lit by candlelight at night as well, which sets a romantic setting. It is also a great place to go for a group of you, although it is a problem not being able to book for over 6 people. But a group of 12 of us went one Saturday afternoon and had no problem getting a table. This has everything a pub needs - relaxing, great atmosphere, gorgeous food and drink. You couldn't ask for more!

Superb Chinese! Mr Chan (Charlie) is a fantastic host and it's a very child friendly place. Waiters & Waitress are all students but good at what they do and extremely polite. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

Having been a big restaurant lover for many years, I love to come back to this place. However we now choose the Sunday buffet as the prices on the main menu are a tad steep.

Nice little no nonsense restaurant, good prices nice atmosphere. I would visit again.

This has the potential to be an excellent restaurant. The building itself is stunning and the decor is impressive. However, the service is mediocre, with too many wrong orders, a shortage of smiles and, admittedly young, staff who have clearly received very little training in the art of dealing with the public. I imagine the place will improve - the Ormskirk Le Frog is brilliant. I will continue to go there, rather than St Helens for the time being, in the hope that the management straighten out this sadly lacking franchise!

Not the finest surroundings but certainly the best Chinese restaurant in Merseyside. Mr Chan is a perfect host and creates delicious dishes at a reasonable price. Probably the reason there are so many Thank You cards above the bar!

I think Cathay Dynasty is a nice place to dine the service was lovely the waitresses were very polite and helpful. I certainly think they should be getting a very good pay for the way they were so helpful, the manager seems to be very harsh on his staff and the way the service is given out which I think is very well done

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......absolutely outstanding....you gotta try it it's fantastic

I went there for a surprise 50th for my dad a few years ago. Very nice food and very nice people. Crackin cosy pub.

Great place to eat when skint... ie students like myself. Cant beat scampi and chips!!!

The food is always excellent. There is always a wide range of specials to chose from and they also have an impressive range of wines

Has changed ownership 2003, Sunday eve was a buffet which when booked we wernt told about. Food average from menu not the buffet. Quite expensive for the standard of food & service

Very pleasant eating experience - good quality food, well presented by helpful staff

I have had the pleasure of eating at the Ruan Thai a dozen or so times over the past several months. The food on every occasion has been nothing short of delicious, a real treat. The Thai staff are absolutely delightful and friendly although not overly attentive. A small but excellent restaurant owned and operated by Thais serving authentic Thai fayre. Bon Vivant

Decent authentic Spanish food with a very good menu. I found the restaurant rather cramped and the service not as attentive as it could have been. We also felt rushed to leave - to be honest it was a Saturday evening but I would have thought after spending £133.90 on a meal for 2 we would not have been rushed out at 9.15 within 10 mins of finishing our desert. That spoiled what otherwise would have been a very enjoyable meal. Bon Vivant
