Exceeded expectations - rabbit pappardelle, cooked from the heart served in a small intimate space…read morewith real atmosphere. We were visiting Chester for two nights and knew in these Covid times we should book a place for supper. We Googled and consulted YELP and the Atina kitchen had as we now know excellent reviews and sounded interesting and personal. From the moment we walked in and Hannah came to our table our expectations were exceeded. The pappardelle rabbit pasta was a delight and the sauce we guess had been cooked for hours. We followed our simple but brilliant pasta with afogato a dish I have not seen on a menu for decades which had fantastic espresso and a scoop of raspberry ripple again not seen this on a menu for decades and vanilla ice cream. The staff were all very personable and the chef/owner we deduce not only still enjoys cooking but also runs a brilliant individual restaurant in a city of many choices. Go and visit and we think you will not be disappointed.

Despite this, they had tables available and we were promptly seated. I ordered a 3 egg omelette with mushrooms and spinach served with some sweet potato fries. I can't fault the food at all, everything was tasty and ingredients seemed to be of high quality. My friend had a burger which was nicely cooked and presented - with a steak knife holding it together like a dagger. They brought us a bottle of chilled tap water for no charge, and I also had a filter coffee which was pleasant enough. Almost a five star venue, just a couple of failings prevent this. I had to ask for the bill and the card machine a few times, service was slightly patchy in this regard. I would also expect a venue of this type to have wifi - and they don't!

Went with my son while shopping at Liverpool One and was quite pleased. We are from the US and one…read moreof our few complaints are burgers just do not seem as good here. Byron's definitely could compete in a US city. The burger itself is 6 ounces (you can get two patties) and what I liked most is that by default it is served medium, so it is still juicy. I had the Byron Burger, which included cheese, bacon, byron sauce (ketchup mayo) and onions. Again, it was quite good. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. Also had the fries, which were McDonalds style skinny fries. Those were also good. Finally, had the onion rings. They were prepared well and would have been perfect if they had not been served at room temperature, which made them greasy and not enjoyable. The burger is the star here, definitely a good option if you are at Liverpool One.

After walking from Albert Dock to Anfield Stadium and exploring a little bit of Liverpool on foot,…read moreI was pretty tired and hungry. So I stopped on in for some fish and chips before heading back to my hotel. It was served with salt and vinegar. It was fast food and nothing fancy, but now I understand why they're known for this combo! I would categorize it as comfort food. The weather was a bit gloomy and rainy, and this was the perfect food for that sort of weather. I was fortunate to find a small table near the back of the place to enjoy the food. I wish that there were places like this back in the States, but all we have that's similar over in the US are Long John Silver's and they're not very good.

OH JESS H. Jess…read morerecommended East Avenue Bakehouse and Nolita, inter alia, to me when I said I'd be in Liverpool for lunch and, on finding the former closed (on Tuesdays), I was more than appeased by serendipitous solution of getting one of the latter's sandwiches, which are made on East Ave Bakehouse bread. So this - the cubanita - is the best sandwich I remember having in a long time. I even think it was better than the various delicious sandwiches I had in the US on my last trip. The bread was outstanding - thick slice, chia seeded round the edges and grilled with just the right amount of butter. Inside was pulled pork, monterey jack cheese, mozzarella, pickles. and mustard. The fries (the lunch deal includes fries) - mixed regular and sweet potato were also particularly good and came with - praise be - chipotle mayo. The coleslaw was great too. It was such a massive portion I didn't have dinner - so basically ate 2 meals for £8.50. Other important points: 1) Good music - can't remember the last time I heard Elliot Smith playing in a restaurant 2) Really nice and helpful staff 3) Takeaway was all in cardboard (i.e. no nasty plastic)

Another trip to Liverpool = another trip to Nolita Cantina = another five star review…read more Wanting somewhere we knew we could eat, drink and be happy after working and travelling across to Liverpool on a Friday night, we quickly decided to head to Nolita Cantina. It's undergone a small refurb since our last visit, meaning there's more seating, and it really seems that word has got out! With a 30 minute wait, we left our phone number and headed to Shipping Forecast for a drink. When the call came (25 minutes later, if you're wondering) we told them we'd be a couple of minutes due to having drinks and they were more than happy for us to head across in our own time. The menu has some new additions, including a philly cheese-steak, and a couple of old favourites, like the delicious mini corn dogs. As a couple we have a great system of deciding on our starters/sharer plates together, then go our own ways when it comes to mains. Cue Frank's hot sauce chicken wings and cheese stuffed jalapenos - or chilli pops - for starters, served up in the plastic red baskets we have come to expect. Chilli pops were a great heat, and the small salad/salsa that came on the side worked really well, with the wings providing the right balance between sweet and hot. Everything was totally devoured! Not wanting to rule out burgers et al for the rest of our weekend, I decided on the Havana rum ribs for my main. The photo doesn't do them justice as they were simply delicious; sticky rum sauce with enough bite to please those who don't like the meat to fall off the bone immediately. I need a lot of napkins to get through, but it was more than worth it. The other half's bacon & blue cheese burger looked humongous and certainly made him work for his dinner, but he described it as one of the best burgers he's had in recent memory. Speaking as people who eat a lot of burgers, colour us impressed! Fries are also impressive, plus they are a combination of sweet and regular - a personal favourite. The only disappointment of the meal came in the form of onion rings, which really didn't hold their own compared to the rest of the plates. But not everything can be perfect all the time... Service was friendly and attentive, though did seem surprised when we made them aware of the fact that they'd left the onion rings off the receipt. We're honest people! Nolita is really becoming a Liverpool staple for us, and I'm already looking forward to exploring more of their menu.

I had an awful fish & chips dinner in London last week so he brought me here to make up for it as he says they're the best he's had so far in the UK. Let me tell you that it lived up to the hype. A beautiful large piece of flaky haddock so lightly fried and it had an audible cracking sound when I put my fork to it. We had started with an octopus starter from the specials menu which had lovely fresh flavors and my husband enjoyed the squid ink risotto which was also delicious. Cute place and nice staff. I look forward to going back and trying more of their dishes, everything sounded great.
