This place is a rip off. The meat quality is not great the sides are very expensive and small for what you pay. The staff are helpful ish until something goes wrong. It’s also pretty loud in there. Overall we won’t be going back

This place is a scam, they make you come in by saying “bottomless” then for reorder take ages to bring, eventually you will feel your are done and leave.

Went on a Thursday evening and not been before. Heard really good things but was a bit disappointed with the menu choice. Wanted to upgrade to the unlimited menu but couldn't do it individually. Everyone had to but only 2 of us wanted to which left me craving more. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean.

Walk in customers, was told it was a 40 minutes wait to be seated, so we had a gin and tonic and a shandy at the bar £14.50, while we waited ... We waited 75-80 minutes for a table for 2.... The food came quickly and was well presented, were both vegetarian, the halloumi was very salty, the veggie burger was well-done , after we had eaten the table next to us was extended but extremely close to us, we had not paid the bill or left the table when told by a waitress to move up, and started pushing the table while we were still seated . We told her no as did another waiter... A long wait ... poor service and poor food, not worth the money .first and last visit..

We went here for a late bite and were very satisfied with the experience. The variety of meats and quality for the price was very good. The particular cocktail we tried wasn't outstanding, but given the menu being bbq meat, it's my own fault for not getting a beer 🙈

Food was dry and nothing exciting definitely not worth the 245 pound price tag that comes with it for a party of 5 , 23 pound a person for a tray of meat to share is reciduculable and to top it off you can't even take your food home with you wouldn't recommend to anyone and definitely not going again

i've been here two times previously which were great, but on my most recent third trip it was awful. my family where with me including my baby. we got stared at the entire time we entered to leaving. it was my husbands birthday so he felt extremely uncomfortable eating. including myself. After paying for the all you can eat option. we were watched. i've never been made to feel so uncomfortable. while there i also needed to change my baby. the changing facility's were disgusting. there was two bins under the changing table that had nappies on the floor they were that over loaded. it stunk . my poor baby had to use the changing table over that. hygiene was very poor. at the end my husband had enough of being watched and wanted to leave. we asked for the bill only for them to throw on a "optional" tip without even asking us!

Cocktails really nice, childs bentonite box was really great value and good food.

We were looking around Liverpool ONE and thought we’d try the food here. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. For example it was warm and within minutes of asking they had an umbrella up for us. We asked for a change to one of our drinks and the bar staff were great with it. If one staff wasn’t sure about something they had someone else over within a minute to help. We also asked for pork to be on a separate as we had someone who was Muslim eating with us. The waitress was great at liaising it with the chef and helped us with halal options. The food was delicious, we all left stuffed and we felt it was amazing quality and a great price.

Tasty food and busy atmosphere. Service was good, we walked in on a busy Saturday afternoon and only had to wait 10 minutes. We were only really offered their fixed mixed grill option - £19.99 (+ £5 for unlimited meats). There were a lot of restrictions around the £5 upgrade to unlimited - the entire party had to upgrade, you couldn’t just have one person upgrade. Also when one of our party wanted an item off the full menu, we were told that nobody would be able to upgrade to the unlimited meat. I understand why they do this, but it was a bit frustrating for some of our party. The meat was nicely cooked and good quality, but there were also definitely some meat items left off our platter (no ribs). We found that we had plenty of food anyway. Bread baskets were tasty and quite filling. The sides were good too. Staff were friendly and the place had a nice vibe.

Very strange “service”from man behind bar with hat on. Okay let’s be straight here - his lack of friendliness and customer service was awful. If I could give zero for service I would. He got the bill wrong for 3 beers (pretty simple order!) - I corrected him, it took about 7 minutes of me hanging around while this error on his behalf was sorted. I didn’t even get a word of apology. We left - plenty of other places about with great service. Won’t be back.
