As you can imagine the decor is therefore very sophisticated and modern contemporary with the walls adorning art work from various artists local and otherwise. The environment is therefore very inviting but not as inviting as the great service. So it should be they did after all last year they did win 'Most Professional Waiting Team' award. The menu is very much classical and the food is great. I'd recommend you try the chicken breast stuffed with fresh asparagus and panfried to perfection served deliciously on a bed of butternut squash mash. Now that is what I call a mouthwaterful!! At £13.50 it's worth every penny. Once you've fed yourself you can always wash down that fine cuisine with some fresh cocktails at the bar where the mixologist will whip you up a crushed ice treat. This really is a great restaurant bar. It's quite clear that the owners have brought their personality to this part of the wirral, and I love that. Long may that mentality continue and little gems keep appearing on the map...Amen!!

From the people behind the increasingly popular Koi bar in West Kirby came The Portrait House! It's an old photo and art gallery converted into a stylish restaurant which is highly regarded for its great food and warm atmosphere and service! You have two options when you eat here, the early doors menu which is three courses for £12.95, or the 'a la carte' menu which has starters ranging from about £6 to £9 and mains from £12 to £16. I've only eaten here once; I had the Sea Bass and was absolutely great, washed down with a great Pinot Grigio which they serve by the glass! Perfect!

In what appears to be a quaint little boutique is this excellent restaurant with a very high standard of service; all the staff seem to have been very well-trained. In fact the main man takes it upon himself to check if everything's okay at all the tables, and his wife chats to customers too. You can't really say fairer than that. The menu tells you where all the food and ingredients have originated from, and you can see that they really prioritise local businesses... heck, they're all local businesses. It's always very full, which speaks volumes for its popularity and the loveliness of its food but it also means you might have to book ahead. There are some great starters, desserts and accompaniments, and the John Dory I had was just delicious. I find it so hard to locate that fish in restaurants so I was more than impressed that I got to indulge here. In all, well worth making the trip to the Wirral for!

An interesting menu including burgers, dogs and ribs allow them to pull in a great variety of eaters. The food is generally good although I have found that they could do with developing their burger bun as it dissolves very quickly with one of their burgers in it. The burgers are nice although not the best I have ever tasted. Price wise they are at a good mid way point although you need to take into account that the sides are not included so this will add to your bill if you weren't expecting it. They do have a selection of bottles beers and spirits but it doesn't have the feel of a place you would go for a beer. There is limited seating at the front, it isn't the most comfortable but is more than enough to escape the British weather and enjoy your food.

Hosting pub quizzes and having wide screen TVs showing various sporting events has probably not done it any harm, but I'm fairly sure that the only thing that has kept this pub afloat really are its loyal patrons, most of whom are getting on a bit. The pub does have some good food and a nice atmosphere, and it is a nice alternative to all those showy bar/bistros that surround it. The prices for drinks are reasonable and it is no doubt a popular haunt for students who walk down from the Carnatic halls of residence.
