9 of us booked for a birthday celebration...was met by the rudest hospitality person we had EVER encountered and we are all over 60/70!! This lady definitely has an attitude problem Also told us they didn't do the senior discount on a Wednesday I refer you and her to the website which clearly states it's available Monday to Friday. This fact wasn't the problem we didn't mind paying full price ...the problem was her appalling attitude!! We walked out of the place and went to Kinsley's which was wonderful.

9 of us went today to celebrate a friend's birthday we are all 60+ and non of us has ever encountered such a rude person. Her first remark was to snidely say " suppose you'll all be wanting separate bills!" Er No we have one bill which we split....I joked that we obviously would all be using the senior discount on food which got the haughty response of " I know my job". After a further flurry of her rudeness we all got up and left went around the corner to Kinsley's which was wonderful Unless you enjoy appalling customer service do not go here when this women is working No wonder the place was empty

1 star is too high for this place but had to rate to leave a review Went there with friends today for lunch, the service was shocking we waited over an hour for food to be told there had been a wait as there was a back log but we never saw anyone else eating in there apart from us. We had to ask 4 times for some mayonnaise with our meal and 1 of my friends asked for normal mayo on her sandwich as garlic makes her ill but when her sandwich came it had garlic mayo on it, when she questioned it the waiter went to the kitchen to ask and the chef assured her that it was normal mayo but it wasn't and she has spent the rest of the day ill. We would never go back here again

I went with my fris and our meals come out 1 by 1 after an hour. It was only toasted sandwiches. I asked for normal mayo on mine as I'm very sensitive to garlic I double checked 3 times as when it did arrive I thought it tasted like garlic mayo they assured me it wasn't. I trusted them. I have come home and started with the stomach cramps and sickness I get when I eat garlic. Will never go there again. Shocking service

My friend and I were visiting Crosby and decided to stop for lunch. Food OK but service awful. Young girl pleasant, can't say the same about the older woman who served our food. No smile, no pleasantries, i wouldn't say she was rude but her attitude wasn't. If you work in hospitality, be hospitable. A smile goes a long way. Won't go back.

Booked brunch for 6 ladies to celebrate a 70th birthday. On arrival there were two (complimentary) balloons decorating the table which was dressed perfectly. Annmarie was on duty that day and oh what an excellent service she and her team gave us, absolutely nothing was too much trouble for her, even going out in the rain to see if our taxi had arrived when we were moving on. She even dropped off the balloons to the evening restaurant we were going to. A big thank you Annmarie you helped make our celebrations special.

We booked ahead for brunch for 35 “day after the wedding” guests. Ann reserved most of the restaurant for us. She was very welcoming and organised. The service was very good and everybody thoroughly enjoyed the food. I had the corned beef hash, which was delicious. The atmosphere was great. I would definitely book for a big party again. Thank you so much. Ruth

Went for a bit to eat and a few drinks with hubby, it's a local bar to us. Service was great, very friendly and efficient. Drinks very reasonable and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Not sure what's going on with the menu though. The small plate Panang curry takes "Small Plate" to a whole new level. A tiny portion of curry without any small side of rice or bread to eat it with - not cheap at £9. Not sure what you are supposed to eat it with? Had to order a side of bread to go with it. Other small plates just OK. Food quality and portions were always good in here in past so hope they sort it out. Still had a nice time, waitress was lovely.

We visited Blues Bar this evening for a family meal and we’ll definitely be back! Grown ups had the small plates menu and they were absolutely delicious! The three children had the “make your own pizzas” - what a cheese pull for your photos! Korean pork skewers were to die for Shout out to the very wonderful Charlie who looked after us tonight marvellously and made it a lovely experience I’d highly recommend for a grown up or family meal out for great food and great staff, we couldn’t fault it and had a fantastic evening

Tried to visit here last night with a group of friends. I got singled out at the door for my ID being “fake” according to the old bouncer on the door. When i tried to explain to him that it was not fake and i could prove with pictures of my passport and also bank details he said i “was not listening to him” - seemed like he just didn’t want to admit he was being difficult to just be difficult. Very disappointed.

I worked here for a while mainly during the summer and fall of 2023, left due to miscommunications on shift, other than that I enjoyed working there. Whenever I was there as a customer (might of just been because I worked there) but it felt like you could strike up a conversation with anyone in there and it be friendly. They are also open quite later on a Friday and Saturday, working it was half stressful like but there as a customer was a boss time like, drinks are fairly priced in my opinion other than the gin which is quite expensive but cheaper than the central of Liverpool for sure, in all it was a nice experience just wish it didn't have a bitter end to my time there.

Went on a Sunday and even though online it states that they open at 10am they said they opened at 12. It was 11am when we arrived so decided to sit in the sun on their chairs and wait as there's not much else around and my grandmother can't walk. At 12 I went inside, only to be told that they didn't serve food that day. When I asked why we were not told all the time we were sat outside waiting, we were told they assumed we only wanted drinks.. ridiculous and not worth going..

If blues bar wasn’t the hot spot of crosby I do believe they would be in a dire situation because the disgusting attitude of the staff would be enough to turn many people away. They have double standards for their regulars who are allowed 10 to a table during COVID but others are threatened with being kicked out for asking for another drink.

The staff really need training on how to work with COVID situation. About 3 different waitresses unnecessarily came over to us before we even got our food menu. Their customer service could do with changing as well. They all looked like they couldn’t be bothered being there and were very unhelpful. When we left because we was sick of waiting for a food menu the bill was thrown down on to the table.

We visited last weekend and felt very safe. We both had the full English with a couple of tweaks, that weren’t a problem. The food was good, plentiful, we’ll cooked and nicely presented. Most importantly it was piping hot. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The only minor quibble was that they had no soya or oat milk so I missed out on my Latte. If that was remedied we would definitely visit more often.

I proceeded to have breakfast with my family here consisting of 2 adults 4 children one in a pram and another disabled in a wheelchair, the girl behind the bar with an absolute disgraveful attitude told us they were not open, even though there was a customer enjoying a coffee sitting down. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and decided to wait outside a further 10 minutes,upon waiting i seen numerous customers go in and be seated with a menu and drinks being bought over to them. I then went back in and was told i still could not be seated until 10am even with the blatant customers already being served. You should be ashamed of yourself and your despicable staff! I am not sure how that girl can live with herself taking enjoyment out on turning away people through what clearly was discrimination.she needa to assess her attitude towards willing paying cuatomers! I will be advising all my family and friends not to even step foot in this place that does not belong in such a village as crosby! I took my custom elsewhere and advise anyone who is thinking of dining in this place to do also.

Waitress took our first drinks order promptly but we weren’t asked if we wanted another drink and sat with dirty plates on the table for 40 minutes after finishing eating. Had to go to the bar to ask for the bill. The place wasn’t busy so not sure what all the staff were doing (there were four waiters). Fish was lovely but chips were a bit greasy and soggy.

This restaurant / bar has had to change to order and Collect due to COVID. Collected 4 pizzas and vine this evening for my family and dropped another order off for a relative. Pizzas were as amazing as when you order in the restaurant.. my son thoroughly enjoyed the salt and pepper chicken. When I rang to place the order, I was recommended the Shiraz and it is so nice.. I can’t recommend this local restaurant enough for a take away at restaurant standards

My girl friend and I visited here on Valentine’s Day for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised on arrival with roses on the tables and a really nice scene throughout the bar / restaurant. Our waitress was delightful (sorry we didn’t get her name) and the service was perfect. The food was incredible, we had stuffed feta peppers, deep fried olives, salt and chilli aubergine, salt and pepper chips and the special pak Choi. All of the food had a similar undertone of flavour which (thankfully) was delicious. Would recommend to anyone in the area, worth travelling to if you’re not!

We went for an evening meal,we've eaten the there before. Sticky Korean Ribs absolutely great, not overcooked, meaty and flavoursome. Sea bass fillet just right. Many restaurants in Spain do grilled aubergine with honey so I was a bit sceptical but this was as nice as I've had anywhere . The service was good and attentive not pushy. Downside it can be noisy and get hot,however, I'll put up with that for the food and service. The Blues Bar isn't a pretentious place but don't be fooled.

I have recently found this ittle gem and haven't been able to stay away. This is due to a number of reasons, firstly the delicious food (my family ànd I are currently working our way through the menu) and have not been disappointed, the triple cooked chips our just like your mum use to make the best!! The burgers were the juiciest I've ever tasted. Secondly the staff and customer service is fantastic nothing is too much trouble for them, even being able to speak to the chef's which I like to do to thank them. And thirdly the atmosphere and other customers it really is like a little community hub of Crosby village and even if you were dining alone or just popping in a drink or coffee you would not feel alone as everyone is so friendly. Really hats off to the chef's and the whole staff as the products used and their skills are second to none.

The device was quick and when we had the bill it was a shock to find out that the price was way under what I expected considering the amount of food you get. The staff are lovely and the chefs in that kitchen can rustle up a fantastic breakfast. Thank you for the service I will definetly be back. Everyone knew exactly what they were doing.
