10. Grove House Hotel Restaurant

Five of us visited The Grove House to celebrate a special occasion and from start to finish the service, food and attentiveness of all who worked there was impeccable. Having pre dinner drinks in the lounge area whilst choosing from the menu was a lovely touch compared with most restaurants who just want you in, ordered and out. This meant that when seated at your table your food was served promptly. Four steaks and one liver dish were all fantastic, as were the starters and sides. A great bottle of Malbec, which was reasonably priced, complemented the meal well. Other reviews have stated that the Grove House is old fashioned and caters to the older population. I have to admit to feeling that in advance of our experience however I am in my mid forties and loved the old school hospitality experience. I would urge The Grove House not to change their approach as fine dining with great service, it would seem, is now a dying art........keep up the great work Grove House.

Walked and walked Liverpool and headed back to my Airbnb and right next door I see Shiraz and several people going in. I joined the crowd on a whim and was unexpectedly delighted. The waitress helped me to navigate the menu which isnât that difficult I just wanted someone to tell me what to order for a change. She suggested the halloumi cheese that comes with a small salad and the prawns also deliver with mixed grilled vegetables and bread both off the appetizer menu and totaling less than $10. What a fantastic combination. Perfect together and complimentary of each other. I was blown away. More than enough food and had such a mixture yet it was all so cohesive. Perfect.

Was a pleasant evening till a very loud group sat down next to us. To make it worse, when we ordered the chocolate fondant we were told it was finished for the day. Reason transpired the group next to us had pre-ordered this dessert. On balance, no reason to return till they improve on these issues.Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I apologise that the guests who arrived at Puffin' Rooms were a little rowdy. I hope to welcome you back to Puffin' Rooms If you would like to contact me on [email protected] to discuss the matter further, please feel free. James Murphy

Wonderful afternoon tea for my mother in laws birthday. Family ranged from 12-80+ and everybody enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent with a lovely âEvertonâ twist, fantastic generous portions too. Service was really good, and very friendly special thanks to Michael D. We will definitely be back.

I donât leave reviews often but this place deserves a good one. We booked as it is small and I really wanted to try it out. We all enjoyed the food. Small plates of deliciousness. Particular mention for the ox cheek stew, pork belly, roast cauliflower in satay, curry, padron peppers and sweet potato fries. The apple cheese cake was also amazing. Just go and try it. We were 5 people and had 9 small plates plus 6 sides and we were full. With cocktails and drinks we spent £112 which I think was worth every penny. If I lived in Liverpool I would eat here often.Hi Thankyou for your recent visit and taking the time to write a review. What a fantastic review, itâs gives us great satisfaction when reading about our food, drink and service. Great choice of dishes, we will pass your positive feedback to the team. Hope to see you again soonTeam Heritage

Really nice little cafe, family run and I mean the people working there are all family. Simple menu but well done with warmth and what we might call "Liverpool charm" and I mean down to earth, friendly and relaxed. Easy to become a regular here :-)

Nipped in here yesterday for lunch. Hadnât been to a wimpy for years so unsure what to expect but neednât have worried. Had two delicious burgers and fries. All cooked from fresh and very tasty. Service was excellent, very friendly staff and even had the manager / cook come to speak to us to check we were happy with our meals. It was so refreshing having that personal service. So glad we found this place and we will return Iâm sure.

It was immediately obvious that things had developed since our last visit. It is still very difficult to get a booking on any particular day and we were lucky enough to find a relatively convenient date on the first day of booking for three months ahead, but we were not prepared for the digitalisation of the menu - we were handed an iPad style screen with the details of the dishes and a very spare wine list, which made no distinction between by-the-glass and bottle, apart from the price, and the relative cheapness of some of the bottles made one imagine that they might be halves. The wondrous glass wall sculptures had been replaced by computerised light shows, a shame in our eyes, and the seating arrangement was more akin to an 80s coffee bar set-up. We just hoped that the food, which had previously raved about, would still have that wow factor and the almost poetic note shown in the anonymous little handout accompanying the menu. The canapés started arriving almost before we had settled in, a red pepper shot preceding spiced pecans, which were followed by cheese jelly with pine nuts, a yuzu gel and a clever sourdough cream, and then, in quick order, a tomato mousse with small chunks of feta. The West Country smoked salmon was elevated by a super bergamot cream and some smoked almonds, but the overall pleasure was diminished by the grated pineapple, even though it was not as acidic as it might have been. The Orkney scallops with a dashi sauce, grape gel, samphire, and hints of radish had an almost caramelised note which was not very pleasant. Granary and treacle breads were then served before the next course which took the form of a parsley mousse backed up by hazelnuts, garden salad leaves and buttermilk cream, and which was quite unremarkable. A tiny and not uniformly perfect portion of monkfish followed supported by rather bland carrot cream, trendy puffed rice, and accents of black olive. Not for the first time we were told that the reason for importing guinea fowl from the Loire was that it is simply superior to anything in the UK, and it has to be said that the bird was outstanding - the confit leg in particular - as was the artichoke heart, although the textures of onion, the ceps, and the nasturtium leaves did nothing to help. The two desserts, apricot sorbet with rice and frozen lemon verbena, and blackberries with coffee meringue, white strawberries and pistachio cake failed to make a lasting impression. Our fond memories were not lived up to.
