    If you are looking for a top quality meal, probably not right. But if you are looking for a reasonable offering of pub-type menu, with good service in a central location and with a name highly associated with Liverpool, then worth a go.

    We had a lovely meal and a few drinks here on our visit to Liverpool, before heading to the Cavern Club. First time I tried Scouse, and it was very enjoyable and tasty. Servers were friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Order wrong due to server not paying attention which was obvious by her questions during order taking.

    Hi Angela, Really appreciate your feedback. We are addressing the matter with the staff so this does not happen again. Thank you for taking the time to write to us. It's mainly based on guest feedback that we keep improving our operation and it's quite clear with this evidence there are still work to be done. Once again, thanks for your time to write to us, this has helped massively.

    Had a nice quick dinner with my 12 year old son. Had a booking well in advance because of the citytrip we planned and I would advice to book this if you plan to visit, the place seemed packed but not annoyingly busy or overcrowded. The waitress was very polite and friendly. The food was great, we had the chicken burger and the smashed beef burger. All in all good value for money. The atmosphere was great, they play music (we are in the Cavern area after all) but you can still make good conversation. All in all we had a great diner, it's very suitable if you are with kids. I would certainly recommend it and visit again in the future.
