Delicious dinner at Liverpool House last night. We ended up sitting at a table, not at the bar. Taylor, our waiter was phenomenal. Attentive, friendly and gave great advice on the menu and drink selection . The cod was perfectly done, very tasty. The bavette and fries also tasted amazing. The salad with green apple and cheese had a great taste, we want the recipe!! The dessert with a cheesecake topping and squash was perfect. All the other staff were very friendly and attentive, which created for a wonderful atmosphere.
