Rocket and Ruby in Liverpool

I love the fact its an open kitchen it allows you to see the very high standards which are kept both in hygiene and service been here several times and never been disappointed yet

Went for lunch..seems quite popular. Middle Eastern flavours. Good servIce. Now located in Derby square..but the waitress said that the restaurant is moving to Duke street in the new year!

This place is so good we have been twice in 2 nights. The menu is so amazing ... the dishes come in small plates and are simply fab.The servers are brilliant at their job. Very attentive. Not over the top. Explain the food to you and have some recommendations if your struggling to pickThe tabbouleh was so tasty so was the octopus, ox cheek, pork belly, fries with ketchup to die for. The skirt steak was beautiful oh and have I mentioned the tabbouleh ??? Oh yes we had it both nights If you want some lovely grub at reasonable prices and lovely ambience to match the look no further Can’t wait to come back

Together with friends we visited the restaurant. The food, service and atmosphere were all very good. We had the tapas menu end enjoyed it.

We went to Rocket and Ruby for having lunch just arriving at Liverpool. It was a really great discover!! Eggs Benedict are perfect and the vegan options as well!! We loved it so much! And because of this, we came back the day before! It's a mandatory place in Liverpool.

I visited here with my friends for breakfast/brunch. The staff are friendly and attentive. Food is fairly priced and the menu has a good range of options to suit everyone. I had eggs benedict, however my eggs were cold and my friends who also had eggs found they were cold too, which was disappointing as you wait for your food and you expect it to be hot and fresh. We were in a hurry so did not complain to have fresh ones made. I would of liked to given a higher rating as everything bar the food was spot on.

I dined here Saturday evening with my partner. I noticed it was run by the same company as Salt House Tapas U haven't dined there).Recent reviews had been positive. The restaurant wasnt full which suited us.The staff were attentive and always available to help if needed. I don't like loitering waiter/waitresses and they had that nice balance to their work. Food. We had four small plates, Crisp Popcorn Mussells, Flat iron Steak with Chimichurri Fries, Slow Braised Ox Cheek and finally Lamb and Beef Shakshukit.The popcorn Mussels didnt work for me. The braised Ox Cheek and Shakshukit were sensational . Each dish had great flavours and textures. The steak was great and paired nicely with the Chimichurri fries. The waitress recommended the 'Donkeyjote' easy drinking red. I would definately go back again for food and service.

The place is smart and clean and the service is excellent and when our food arrived it was presented beautifully. A great find and I would highly recommend!

Beautiful interior, lovely efficient service and quality food at a reasonable price. The perfect pit stop!! An big open kitchen allows you to watch your breakfast being cooked,the odd smile from chef wouldn’t go a miss.

So good I returned one week later! Sampled the lunch menu which in itself is great value and offered till 5pm even on a Saturday! Everything was cooked to perfection and amazing flavours and variety. Staff very friendly and helpful too. I'll be back!

I visited here with 2 colleagues on our lunch our. We ordered the entire small plates menu and we did not regret it! Every small plate was incredible. Packed full of flavour and variety. We were stuffed to say the least, and did manage it all in an hour. We can’t wait to go back. Staff were all friendly and accommodating too. Thanks guys

We stopped here on our last morning in Liverpool. Definitely my type of cafe/restaurant - a little quirky and casual. The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was really good and we loved getting to watch our food be cooked

We each ordered small plates, all were good, nicely presented, with friendly service. Not gourmet, but good and fairly priced

Loving staff and a very happy and talkative Australian Batman, full of fun and laughter. Amazing cocktails, definitely have one of the top 3 espresso martinis on Castle Street, the Long Island Ice Tea is probably best at JM Mcguffie but still a phenomenal mix here would still highly recommend and the smell of fresh fish and chips really brings home the authentic British feel.

RIP off. Extortionate prices, dim staff. Avoid.Nice location, to draw in the unwary. Tiny portions, badly prepared.

A fabulous, nuanced and unique blend of taste and texture.

Exceptional food, harissa Mac and cheese was next level! Flank steak amazing. Ox cheek so rich and flavoursome, everything was great! It is undeserved how quiet this restaurant can be! Have visited all restaurants owned by this company and rocket and ruby is by far my favourite! Must visit on a Tuesday, 3 plates and a bottle of wine for £20 so can’t go wrong! Servers also all lovely, have been served by a younger girl with brunette curly hair who has been great every time serving us, she’s a vegan but also was able to recommend the most popular meat dishes and the ones that she thought looked the nicest, even for a vegan!! Must visit this place if you are visiting Liverpool!

Tonight we went to R&R; for the fourth time. On a Tuesday they have Ruby Tuesdays deal with three small plates and a bottle of wine per person for twenty quid. If you are not going along then you are insane in the membrane.

I visited here for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated straight away and given menus.

Lunch menu - £20 each.We had the three plates each plus bottle of wine and 2 beers. Non- alcoholic drinks also available.

This stop will treat you well. Here on a business lunch or a stop from site seeing, it will be a good experience. Lite foods and tea, or a bigger meal you’ll be pleased here. Reasonable prices and friendly people as well as a nice patio when the weather permits.

As Bacaro regulars we awaited the opening of this sister restaurant and oh my word it is as good if not even better and we just can't stop going!

Great cosy little place; good service, excellent dishes, interesting fusion flavours. We’d show you some pics but we ate it all!

Popped in as this was a regular place for us years ago and it has gone very up market. Emma our waitress was very attentive and very kind to our daughter. Nothing was too much trouble and we made a small change from chicken Mac and cheese to chicken and chips. Thanks Emma! The food was magnificent for a lunch time and we will definitely return in the not too distant future. I'm sure this will be a regular eatery for us when we meet for lunch. The tapas was excellent and big portions, 3 plates easily fed 2 of us.

Lovely place, relaxed and fun. Food was amazing and a bit different. Be warned the portions are generous!

After shopping in town decided to have a drink before getting the bus home. Called in here, sat outside and had a cappuccino. Fab. Enjoyed the cappuccino and people watched. Very relaxing, service quick and friendly.

Only popped in for a late night coffee and was surprised to see them open. We were greeted warmly even tho it was only for coffees. The coffe was good and good strength and flavour and the staff were really really nice - all smiles and beams. A very nice comfortable space and excellent toilets even at that time of day - obviously well maintained. Very classy.

We were staying in an apartment nearby whose internet was not working so we went into Ruby and Rocket to use theirs and what a great accident that was. It became our regular for our 7 days in Liverpool for the Netball World Cup. We mostly drank coffee but also enjoyed dinner there which is small and large plates to share. The shared plates were delicious and the cost of the meal was reasonable. Service was outstanding.

I require gluten free food, due to an autoimmune disease. I was impressed by the choice of gluten free food available for breakfast and went for the full breakfast and a watermelon and lime crush. For some reason it seemed to take a while for our drinks and food to arrive, however we were brought some extra toast, which I thought was a nice touch. Our food arrived and I was a little concerned that there was black pudding (not a usually gluten free food) on my plate. The lady (sorry I didn't get her name) immediately took my plate away to check and even though the black pudding didn't have gluten on the ingredients it also didn't state it was, so a fresh breakfast was cooked for me. Not only that, the price of the food was deducted from the bill. Two members of staff checked with me that everything was ok and repeatedly apologised. I couldn't have asked for more.

I visited Rocket & Ruby yesterday while I was out shopping with my mum and sister and what a lovely experience it was. The staff were really friendly and helpful and all the food we ordered was delicious! As it’s small plates it was just enough for lunch, there was so much choice on the menu I struggled to pick so that means I’ll have to go back!

Helpful staff, they all looked very happy, and that made the environment relaxed. You order small dishes, so they recommend that you order two dishes per person - and that was absolutely fine size wise. It is a bit pricey, but the food was excellent!

What great food tapas style I had crispy belly pork and ironed beef strips very very good service was also great we all enjoyed our meals would recommend it

Went here on my own for a quick breakfast as I was passing.

Having visited Liverpool for the weekend and lying in Sunday, needed a place to eat before our train in the afternoon. Wanting a tasty brunch we didn't find a lot of options near Liverpool One. Too long a wait at Cosy Club, no brunch menus along Castle Street, we stopped at the end of Castle Street and found Rocket and Ruby.

Visited here for breakfast this morning and wasn’t disappointed. I had the full English breakfast. The black pudding was amazing. The bacon was kind of like streaky bacon, so I wasn’t sure on this and the sausage was a Cumberland sausage. All really nice but a little different to what I would expect on a breakfast. Hence the 4 starts opposed to 5. All in all a great venue and great food. Will definitely re vist maybe for lunch

Despite fancying a sandwich or something similar, we still decided to order from their breakfast menu (this was 11:40 am and was the only one available) as we wanted to sit outside and watch the world go by on such a glorious late morning. We ordered one breakfast brioche and one look alike croque monsieur. Food was decent enough but the menu was a bit restrictive at that time of the day. Outside seating is great but can get a little cramped between the tables.

Great food, atmosphere and service! Also has specific gluten free and diary free menus. Will definitely be back if I’m back in Liverpool.

Got a table outside in the afternoon sunshine.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Was greeted by a friendly waitress who informed me that they’d finished serving breakfast, and they wouldn’t be taking orders for lunch until 12.00, which was in around ten minutes. Not a problem, I take a seat and order a drink. 12.00 comes around and the same waitress tells me they’ve had a breakfast rush (place was virtually empty, they’d stopped taking breakfast orders half an hour earlier) and she can’t take my order for another ten minutes. I was in a rush so I declined to wait, paid for my drink and left. Disappointing as the menu looked nice - guess I’ll never know!

Have walked past here many times but won't in the future. The menu looked amazing and very varied so much that it would suit most people.

Rocket & Ruby is just amazing, the service is relaxing, the food is incredible and fresh. Some of the items we had where the seabass, flat iron steak and for desert salted caramel and Chocolate Tort which is the single greatest desert i have ever had and entirely home made

I was only in Liverpool for one night, and had no idea where to eat. Luckily I came across Rocket and Ruby and the food, service, and experience was absolutely top drawer. I had the flat iron steak, which was just spot on. The cheese board was also fantastic, and for those that want to have cocktails which are of the highest quality, bit with a twist, here is the place to come. The coffee was also very good. I cannot praise them enough. Wonderful.

Every time I am in Liverpool, I make my way to Rocket and Ruby for their delicious food and incredible staff, who always remember me from previous visits....Jodie is amazing and friendly, and is a wonderful asset to any company. So until next time keep those high standards and class service guys.

Been here several times now....my favourite place to eat in liverpool! I am by far the fussiest eater and nothing was to much trouble. From their light bite sandwiches (egg mayo to die for) to their tapas I am yet to try dessert but they look amazing. The staff are all fantastic never a dull atmosphere everyone always happy i think this is what makes it such a wonderful place to eat and drink if you have never been you really need to.

I am the biggest fan of Bacaro which is Rocket and Ruby’s big brother and the standard does not slip.

Travelled from London for the LFC parade and stopped at this amazing restaurant for late lunch. The food was absolutely amazing! Quick serving and very friendly staff! The NYC cheesecake was the best I ever ever had in my life along with the watermelon lime freshly made juice! Would definitely dine there at our next trip to Liverpool!

Please don't overlook this absolute gem. The chef, Mikey is an understated genius. We had a wonderful time at Bacaro earlier today but later stumbled upon Rocket and Ruby. The food is complete perfection. The staff are gorgeous and weren't overwhelmed by the Champion's League traffic. A fab visit!

My friends and I visited Liverpool for the bank holiday weekend and had an amazing meal at Rocket and Ruby. It was in a great location and the food was divine! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We all have a great evening and would definitely recommend to others who are looking for somewhere to eat in Liverpool!

Been before, loved it so back again....

Went to this beautiful restaurant for my daughters birthday after recommendation. It was a lovely atmosphere, staff couldn't do enough and were so friendly. Food...amazing. The staff made an extra effort singing with my daughters cake (she is 22 but you can never be too old) thanks so much will certainly come back again soon!

Spotted this on the way into town from the town hall. A sister restaurant to Bacaro next door. We stopped for a coffee and croissant, liked the look of the menu so came back later for lunch. This is a tapas restaurant. At lunchtime they do a special menu 3 plates for £13.95. They also do small plates for about £7 each and the waitress recommended having 2 plates each. We decided on the small plates having 7 between 3 of us. Food very tasty.

Me and my family attending the restaurant for my sisters birthday because I’d previously enjoyed it for my own birthday.The food is amazing so flavoursome and reasonable! The staff are so lovely and very helpful and the atmosphere was buzzing. Defiantly my favourite restaurant at the moment. I would also like to thank the manager George for coming out with my sisters birthday cake singing happy birthday by himself even though he looked terrified of the sparkler my mum insisted on putting on the cake :)

Great terrace to sit outside at on a lovely sunny late afternoon .

We had a beautify breakfast. Located not far from the main shops and the law courts. The was good selection on the menu

This was our first visit to Rocket & Ruby after hearing such great things and we weren’t disappointed. The food, the atmosphere and the service were fantastic. Certainly one of the best spots in Liverpool we’ve been to. I’d 100% recommend the restaurant to anyone reading this review right now and looking for a restaurant to visit.

Having studied at Liverpool University a few years ago, I’m always trying to find excuses to come back to Liverpool for a weekend. The guys that own Salt House / Bacaro Hanover St have added another reason to come back - Rocket and Ruby. Whilst visiting friends we decided to give their new restaurant a go. The menu is varied and full of delicious small plates. Highly recommend this place for a relaxed evening meal, with the fabulous service you’d expect from the Salt House / Hanover St team. We’ll be back!!!

We visited R&R; last Saturday for lunch with our two children. Great location and really lovely restaurant.

Took my family for an early evening meal. The menu was amazing even catering for my difficult to please vegan daughter!!! Service was first class and the food was 5* The beautiful terrace was an unexpected treat!! We will be back. Thanks

Im lucky enough to live round the corner from here and we come here regularly. My family always ask if we can go here when they come visit too. The food is delicious the service is fantastic I can't fault it. 100% recommend

I'm a big fan of Salt House Tapas and Bacaro, so was excited to see how the new kid on the block measured up. Fantastic selection of small plates, very tasty food and well-presented. Excellent gluten-free menu with plenty of options. Service was outstanding and I felt the food was good value for the high quality. Lovely place with a casual, modern vibe. Looking forward to a return visit to try their brunch and Sunday menu. Highly-recommended.

Rocket and Ruby is another great restaurant to visit in Liverpool alongside some fantastic eateries in the City. The food is excellent, matched by friendly and attentive service. I’ve eaten here several times and it is consistently good. Early evening, the atmosphere and ambiance is warm and welcoming, and on a sunny day you can’t beat sitting outside with a glass of vino watching the world go by.

Knew nothing about this place but decided to try it. Great decision. The hostess/waitress who greeted us couldn't have been nicer and the food was fresh, different and amazing. Large tapas size plates to share. Everything was delicious and so obviously freshly made. Who knew hummus could be so different and delicious? And the soba noodles too. We thoroughly enjoyed the service, the ambiance and food. If we lived in Liverpool we'd be regulars.

Have been here on a number of occasions with my husband and we have never been dissapointed with either the food or service. We came on Sunday, we usually order the small plates but decided this time to order from the Sunday lunch menu, I had the Gammon with all the trimmings whilst my husband had the beef, I must say the portions where very generous so much so I could not eat all mine! The service (as always) was excellent may we say a great thank you to Sasha and George for taking care of us, will be returning soon.

Me and my fiance visited for Brunch, warm welcome upon entering but throughout our visit it slowly got worse. 10-15 minutes before we had our order taken. 25 minutes to then receive our food. My fiance ordered egg on toast with a side of chips. The chips arrived when she had finished her egg on toast and I unfortunatley ordered a tasteless full english. I was extremely disappointed as I was expecting something a lot more from somewhere that had such good reviews.

Same owners as Bacaro next door (one of our favourite haunts!) so this was a must try for breakfast this morning!

vel verdt et besøk. Her serveres en masse gode småretter som holder meget god standard så gode at vi tok to turer hit. Servicen ekstremt god og hyggelig.

Was recommended by the good people at wreckfish (another great place to eat in this vibrant city), and have to say thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, good food, great staff and decent location. Look forward to going back here next time.

We had a lovely lunch here after a recommendation. Service was friendly and helpful. Food delicious. Would recommend.

Had a great experience here this afternoon. Creative great food in a fantastic setting with service to match! Couldn’t fault it! I will be back for more! A great new addition in Liverpool!

On a recent trip to Liverpool, paid a visit to this restaurant on the recommendation of my son who had been there. We went for lunch and was not disappointed. Had great food, at a good price and loved the vibrant atmosphere. Was looked after by Jodie as well as other staff, and everything was done with a smile. Went back 2 days later for breakfast and experienced the same standards. Keep up the good work team and will see you next time I am in Liverpool :)

Have recently visited a group of 8 went for breakfast - lovely place,quick service and amazing freshly prepared food, the staff are so friendly and welcoming, so good we went back on the Sunday to try their brunch again not disappointed, had ham chips and eggs - Devine, the chips were so good the table ordered a side of the fries,highly recommend, lovely and clean, white company toiletries in the toilets -great team- special mention to Jodie who could not do enough for us - if In Liverpool highly recommend

Great little lunch visit. This location has been a few different places the last few years, Rocket and Ruby deserves to succeed. Really polite staff. Lovely sandwiches. Very clean toilets.

On a trip to Liverpool we popped in here for lunch . absolutely gorgeous food freshly cooked at a very reasonable price .shame it's not closer to home

I recently had a weekend in Liverpool and went to Rocket and Ruby for a delicious brunch. Great menu, gorgeous food, and very helpful, happy staff. Jodie served us and is a credit to the restaurant. Well done , highly recommend this place if you are in Liverpool.

I've just had a fabulous solo lunch afternoon at Rocket And Ruby.

I had the pleasure of visiting Rocket & Ruby for dinner during a recent trip to Liverpool. All the staff were fabulous especially Dags who looked after us. She was a cheerful and knowledgeable waitress and nothing was too much trouble. Her menu recommendations were delicious! So impressed were we we returned twice more and sampled the brunch menu - delicious! Jodie the manager served us she too was extremely knowledgeable. As the manager she showed maturity and professionalism. I will definitely be returning on my next trip and would strong recommend you do too

Popped in for lunch with my partner and wish we had just gone to Tesco for a meal deal instead!

Food was excellent, particularly the crab and toast and the custard tart/brûlée. Service friendly and a little too efficient as our waitress kept removing our plates when we had ate the food on them but we would have liked to soak up the sauces with our bread . Only a minor point as it was a very quiet night and I think she thought she was being helpful. I will go again as the vibe was friendly, the food top notch and the kitchen visible,which we liked.

Chose to come in as passing and best decision made in a long time! Very well interesting food and very tasty. Well worth a visit.

Went here for a brunch catch up with a close friend and loved every minute. The staff were so accomodating and friendly.

Simply fabulous food with courteous amazing staff. I have now eaten here on four occasions, the menu and staff offer something different each time. The crab on toast along with the ox cheeks are my favourite, but having said that it’s all good. The person in charge of the menu certainly knows their stuff. I’m really looking forward to trying the new Sunday lunch I’ll be back for that very soon.

Had a really lovely evening here last night , on a trip to Liverpool to visit family, This really is a great little independent restaurant ( very rare in a big city these days) From the lovely greeting on arrival , to attentive service by Eloise though out the evening, to delicious, inventive dishes on the menu thank goodness they are small plates so you can try a few the cauliflower, crab rarebit & ox cheek were outstanding !! Congrats to the chefs best meal I’ve had for a long time , can’t wait to come back to Liverpool to try more , especially the desserts next time . Keep up the good work.

Even if I tried, I couldn’t pick a fault.

Popped in with business colleagues after work on a Tuesday night, we had the 3 plate special and the food was excellent. Will be back with the family so they can enjoy too.

For one time in my life I can tell i have a 10/10 review. Good healthy food combining the quirkiest flavours allowing small portions to be combined for an excellent price. The staff is also friendly, the place is nicely decorated.

We came into this restaurant and were excited because this restaurant looked really cool. But then the staff was really abusive and didn't want to serve us drinks. We accepted to having water for a drink. Then we ordered one of the signature dish and we were told that it was out of stock. After that we left the restaurant. The reason is because we were abused and received a very unfriendly comments from the staff. I'm not used to discredit customers here at trip advisor but the s abusive accusations of me and my friends being drunk is outrageous. We left the restaurant and the next restaurant received us very friendly and served us with drinks an excellent food. If you're reading this I recommend that you ignored this restaurant and choose some other restaurant in Liverpool which has many excellent restaurants all a round. This restaurant bgets minus 5 points from me and my two friends.

Came across this more by luck than judgement. Was a little gem Lovely pleasant staff Good wine list and lots off great dishes Would go back again

På väg till hotellet så droppar vi in för en snabblunch och kommer till ett ställe där vi faktiskt blir helt mållösa, men inte för att vi blir utan mat.

Really delicious food and a good atmosphere. I almost gave it a five - just needs a few more things right for example some of the tables for two are a bit squashed. Good really is delish with some great combinations but a tad expensive for brunch

Visited recently for brunch, really nice setting and vibe. Had a cooked breakfast which was spot on. They have oat milk too which is a bonus! Would definitely visit again!

Firstly we got sat on a table in the middle of the place nearly hanging over the steps so my partner got bumped every five seconds. In which plenty of other tables where free. There was a large table behind and all the focus was on them our food got delivered with no cutlery for five minutes after and a smirk off the server. The portion sizes are not small but tiny taking a whole new meaning to small plates. The value for money is terrible and we will not come back again even if he food is half decent the service is terrible and portion sizes worse.

Ich kann das Restaurant uneingeschränkt empfehlen, leckeres Frühstück, große Auswahl und die Preise sind auch noch gut. Tolles Package und einen Besuch wert.

This was a brilliant eating experience. I went with friends for lunch and the welcome and hospitality was simply amazing and through out the meal the staff were engaging and attentive without being intrusive. The choice on the menu was wide with something to interest all members of our party. The food was excellent and the taste and flavours of each of our meals was terrific. The conversation on our the table focussed on the need to return in order to try the other meal options on the menu. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very relaxed and over all we had a great experience and I can't recommend it high enough.

Went here for brunch on Sunday morning. Very cozy atmosphere. The staff was very attentive to my celiac and lactose intolerance, and the gluten free menu is pretty extensive. The food wasn’t mind blowing, but was good, and I didn’t get ill, so that makes it better. I do recommend the fresh orange juice. It was delicious!

Nice soup, but being charged for tap water 50p, never had that before. Ok surrounding etc. Staff not that attentive to customers - forgot Butter then gave us butter but no knife....

Loved everything about the place, great service, great dishes, cosy interior. Very interesting concept!

Ok, so we just felt a bit hungry and popped in for a light lunch, however, my wife and I were sorry that we hadn't dropped in with more time and bigger appetites.The reception and the service were without equal. Everyone was simply fantastic. We had the 3 tapas lunch for a very reasonable price and everything was beyond wonderful.We had the sea bass, humus with flat bread and a baked cauliflower. The unbelievable truth is that everything was without compare, it was quite simply wonderful. The tastiest lunch that I have had for a very long time. Even the wine had a little something special to it. And all so reasonably priced. I am just sorry that we didn't have more time to spend in this fantastic new establishment.

Walked past this place the other week and knew I had to try it purely because of the look and aesthetic. Definitely did not disappoint. Staff were very helpful and friendly, making sure we had enough drinks. The food is to die for, THE best hummus I’ve had and I’ve tried a fair few! The chefs really credit themselves and should take pride in their dishes as they tasted beautiful and looking heavenly. I saw a slightly negative review saying their dish came 5 minutes before their wife’s however it is tapas/sharing style which I love and staff did make clear that it is served whenever it is made. Everything about the decor is beautiful, right down to the toilets! Not to mention the music/playlist was top notch.

Came here for a date night with my partner. Food was 10/10, wine selection was simply exquisite. The service was outstanding, especially from the bartender Liam! As an avid wine enthusiast I was not disappointed by his selection, we will definitely be coming back in the near future.

The second time we have been here and the first time we have eaten Great service friendly staff and lovely food What more do you want
