    Random stop we made since the previous restaurant we headed to had moved. When initially walking…read morein, it seemed like a real cool spot and it never hurts when you see 2 for 1 drinks. Once we walked in the host that came to the door at first was trying to tell us if we didn't have a reservation then they didn't have room....I was confused because even though today was one of days of Pride, their restaurant wasn't full at all. (Wish I took a picture). I then asked why we can't sit at the bar...the host wasn't sure so he went and asked the manager and the manager stated why can't they. Alright so my point lol. We sat at the high bar tables and they explained that you can scan the QR code or just order at the bar. The bar option was easier for us since it was a group. Made our order at the bar and that was simple. Now the 2 for 1 drinks start coming out and the first one was VERY lack luster. It was the passion fruit mojito which tasted like mint fruit juice. I did not taste a lick of alcohol. (Just an FYI the 2 for 1 drinks apply to all cocktails). We then receive another drink which I can't remember the name and it was decent but I was good with water after that one since it once again tasted like fruit juice. Once the food starts coming out, I'm excited! The guac and chips, they actually made it into nachos...apparently guac and chips with salsa is something people don't normally order....so after some explaining then they understood what was needed. When the Moqueca came out it smelt so delicious!! Oddly enough the appetizer came out with the entree as well. The one I tried was the mango and cheese empanada. It was pretty good...nothing to rave about. Alright back to the Moqueca, it was delicious. For warn you that you do have to de shell the shrimp and clams but besides that it was great! It's not 100 percent like the original but they did a great job. All in all the restaurant was decent. I do think they need to get their staff on the same page, and work on the ratios when making a drink but otherwise it was a decent place to eat.

    Come here for drinks and maybe appetizers, but meals seem to fall short on quality…read more Many 2 for 1 drink options and others available to be sure to check the menu for the best deals. We came here for dinner last evening and enjoyed a few appetizers including the garlic bread, chicken nachos, albondigas, chicken quesadilla, crispy cauliflower bites o which the albondigas and cauliflower were the hits worth ordering again on a future visit. For entrees we ordered the Gaucho steak and Argentinian burger, would not get either again. Drinks were all good and had a plethora available. There was trivia going on when we arrived and late night has nice loud music playin throughout the restaurant and bar area.

    Very nice elegant restaurant right in the city center of Liverpool. The restaurant hall is quite…read morelarge, and ceilings are quite high, which means it's not too noisy and great for acoustics if there is a band playing (like it was the evening we were there). The menu is quite extensive, on top of that they are very happy to show you the meat cuts on a small table that is wheeled right to your table. We thoroughly enjoyed starters, mains and dessert. Our waiter was very friendly and happy to advise and check our questions about food with the chef if he didn't know the answer. The food was just heavenly! I would love to come back.

    I called at Gaucho to make the most of the Eat Out Help Out Offer in which they are participating,…read morewhich gives 50% off food up to £10 per person during the month of August between Monday to Wednesday as part of a government scheme to aid recovery after the COVID-19 Pandemic. Generally, you can save 25% off food with Gourmet Society membership but this offer takes it further. Inside, the decor is fantastic being set in an old Methodist Church just off Deansgate, accessed via a ramp with a very steep gradient or a large step. The inside area is a stunning old building, decorated with cow print. The cocktail menu was rather expensive, they also didn't have anything basic and seemed to have weird, wacky cocktails which I really didn't fancy, standard spirits and mixers were also rather expensive too. I didn't end up going for a cocktail in the end - one of the best places in the city for a cocktail has to be the Hard Rock Cafe, a 70cl cocktail and a collectable glass for under £13 meant I'd head thereafter for some booze before heading home - the selection here didn't cut it for me. Although known for their steak offerings, I opted for the Spatchcock Chicken. I did enjoy the flavours of the chicken although the leg piece didn't have a lot of meat on, I really enjoyed the breast part - I just wish it would have been more breast. The flavours, spices and sauces were good but I still think it didn't represent value for money at all, this dish alone was £18 without any sides! For sides, I decided to opt for chips/fries, at £5 a portion I expected them to be good, but they just weren't. I found them to be poorly seasoned as well as a little overcooked and soggy, for such a price you'd expect them to be good, fresh chips when in all honestly I've pulled out better fries from my freezer at a fraction of the cost, this meant although I did enjoy a half of my chicken, it didn't cut it as nothing went with it. Considering they only have one lot of chips, there's nothing which would go with steak either, who wants steak and mash? All the staff seemed friendly, with the exception of my waitress who seemed more like an angry mother, who seemed to treat me and my party like a child, for example forcing us to use the menu as a placemat for our food. I also found it a shame to see they were unable to adapt dishes, now this is fine dining, a high-end place with mains costing at least £18 and some items going up towards the £100 mark, a place like this being unable to adapt dishes is truly dissapointing especially for the price mark, they were unable to remove sauces etc as it came "pre-marinated" in many cases. My server also seemed a little rude and easily confused, for example, she couldn't understand when my friend ordered a starter as a main course which was down to the fact he didn't want anything with spices on, as every dish came pre-marinated other than the steak. She did get there in the end, but even that was a struggle. There was also a long wait for food, it at one point felt like I'd never get my food which was quite frustrating as well. They didn't seem overly busy and it didn't seem like anything the large open kitchen couldn't handle either. They do have gluten-free labelled on the menu and do have a few choices, sadly their gluten-free bread is seeded bread which I hate (I wish everywhere didn't put seeds in bread as it ruins it!), also there were no gluten-free starters on the menu which again was dissapointing. Do bear in mind also that this place has a rather high service-charge at 12.5% regardless of how many people are dining, this is also applied before any discounts so even though our group of 3 saved £10 per person, this amount was also subject to the service charge, so that alone worked out close to £9. Considering the long wait for food and the attitude of my server, I don't understand the justification behind that by any means. A high-end place which doesn't live up to the price tag, some good flavours in the chicken and nice decor warrant an extra star but I won't be rushing back to this place. 2*

    Oh my goodness - how has this not been reviewed yet?!…read more Mumma Schnitzel is taking on the challenge of providing really great Street Food - and certainly seems to be a contender... Situated in Spinningfields, near more established (but if I can be so bold) less exciting competition such as Pret a Manger, Mumma is taking the specialisation route to greatness by offing a limited choice, but doing it really well. There are only really two choices, and one side; Chicken Burger, Halloumi Burger and Triple Fried fries. I can't comment on the veggie option, being a life long carnivore and all, but the chicken is brilliant! A thin, crispy panko style coating, sweet brioche bun, tangy mayo and crunchy lettuce make this to die for. The chicken comes from the thigh rather than breast, so you get a much juicier eating experience. The fries are awesome - I know that frying something three times must be disastrous for your health, but you have to try them... They do weekly specials (all on the chicken burger theme) to mix things up, and a meal deal for the burger, fries and a canned drink. Mmmmm. It's not a cheap burger, but it doesn't taste like one - if you want that, maybe head on over to KFC; if you're looking for a bit of a treat, this is the place for you.

    This will be a very short review as there's not a lot else I can say about Mumma Schnitzel...It is…read moreAMAZING! The chicken is always perfectly cooked and very crispy. The best one in my opinion is the simple one with just lettuce, sweet chili and mayo. I'm knocking a star off as I think at £8.50 for a chicken burger and chips is a little expensive even though it will be the best you will have ever tasted....

    The Middleton Spud Van is a common sight across Middleton Gardens, more recently they've got a new…read moreand larger van which they work from and they've had a little rebrand, the new van looks so much better. It is one of my favourite places to get food in Middleton town centre, although I do have some minor issues with food quality/temperature, the majority of times I order from here I am impressed with my food, the new box which they package the potatoes in is much stronger and better too, this means they travel much better now in delivery orders, which are becoming increasingly common in wake of the pandemic and UK government lockdown. The staff are happy to take extra care with my order due to my dietary requirements, my regular order is a tuna and cheese jacket potato with the tuna on first, I like how they make sure they listen to my comments (Many places ignore these) to make the potato how I like it, most importantly putting the tuna on first as I hate when the cheese melts onto the potato. The prices are competitive, especially considering Uber Eats is generally expensive due to the number of fees they charge but do try to get down to the van if you can, you will save money on Uber's fees but the delivery is fast and convenient. 4* - Good quality potatoes, I have noticed they sometimes don't taste as good if you order after 1:45 pm, but this is often the case at many similar establishments, and it's just good they still have some potatoes left going into the afternoon.
