For tapas, we figured that was no problem -- and it was no problem. The staff -- all young and seeming to have a good time together -- was friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding, on par with our favorite tapas place in Barcelona. Padron peppers perfeectly blistered and seasoned; patatas bravas crisp and hot; grilled scallop done just right and resting on garlic/oil/parsley -- too simple to be called a sauce but perfect with the scallop. We had five dishes in all, and were pleasantly surprised by each, and asked our server, Joe -- cheerful and charming -- if we had missed anything he would highly recommend. He paused briefly, and then suggested the sizzling prawns; he was spot on, they were sweet and succulent and set off wonderfully by the hint of heat in the oil. A memorable dinner from start to finish, all in 65 minutes. Bravo, Salt House Tapas!

This place is a cash grab, not a restaurant. It was our…read morefirst time here. We were 5 people and ordered the sharing menu, which only states a minimum of 2 people. To avoid confusion, I directly asked the server if one sharing menu was enough for all of us. He said he recommended two -- not that it was required. We decided one was enough and ordered extra rotis and rice. We were served one sharing menu. When the bill came, we were charged for two. Management couldn't clearly explain why, other than saying, "We don't allow 5 people to share one menu." If that's the policy, it should be clearly stated or clearly communicated, especially to first-time customers. Charging us for food we never received is unacceptable. This place clearly cares more about money than honesty or customer experience. Avoid. Do no recommend

We were quick to jump on Mowgli because we're avid Indian cuisine lovers, and it had such a solid…read morerating. Unfortunately, this was not our favorite meal in Liverpool. First, it is a tapas-style dine, which if you know me, is already setting you up for massive success. Getting to sample a lit bit of everything? And in an Indian restaurant to boot??? Sign me up every week! We were encouraged by our server to order 3 items per person, keeping in line with the tapas framework. I suspected this was misleading, and it was! We probably left half the food we ordered behind. These were NOT tapas portions. It was an insane amount of food for two people. The saddest part is we didn't want to take any leftovers back the hotel. Out of all the dishes we ordered, maybe one dish had the right balance. Everything else was sickeningly sweet, like ketchup was the main ingredient. On top of that, some dishes were very spicy. I'm not talking caucasian spicy, I'm talking "whoa, did the top fall off the shaker" spicy. Let me remind you, we eat Vindaloo-level curries on the regular. The dishes were just generally very overbalanced: too much heat in some dishes combined with stomach-churning sweetness. It just was not what we are accustomed to. That being said, the interior is really beautiful, and it's not a terrible place by any stretch. I would say a solid 3.5 stars. This might be the best Indian in Liverpool. I don't know, I'm not local. But if I spend more time in Liverpool, I will be seeking out other Indian options before returning here. Try it out! You might be the person they're cooking for.

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!

I have dined at La Vina once for a friend's birthday. I am not a huge fan of Tapas but this is…read morewhere my friend wanted to go, so we obliged. When we were finally shown to our seats the table was still dirty from its last occupants, and we had to actually ask for it to be cleaned, as the staff had failed to notice its disgusting state. The staff also seemed a bit offended when we asked for the table to be cleaned. Once we had placed our orders service was slow. Dishes started to come out after about 30 minutes, but they did not finish coming out for a further 30 minutes. We also noticed that some of the plates were not completely clean, having stains on the outside of the plates. The food at La Vina is not cheap, so you would expect an extra effort to be made to provide a good service for customers, but this was sadly not the case. The drinks are also expensive but are nothing special. The food seemed to be quite tasty, but its difficult to appreciate a dish which is served on a dirty plate. We complained but we were not really listened to, and only our service charge was removed. I will never go here again.

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.

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.

It came with fries or bread and I went for fries. The fries were nice and crispy - nice flavour. (There was a sign in the restaurant that the mussels/oysters are from Shetland & Anglesey). Service was attentive. We arrived pretty early and we were the only people there but by the time we left, there was about 4 other tables occupied.
