The Office Bar & Restaurant in Sefton

Great food, great staff! Couldn't be better!

I have eaten in the restaurant several times with my Guide dog, today I was refused access by Charlotte and told I could eat in bar area but no dogs in the restaurant, I stated it was illegal to refuse access to a guide dog in any area, Charlotte insisted no guide dogs allowed in restaurant, I will be reporting this to the appropriate people as it is illegal to refuse access. I was very distressed indeed by this and very surprised as we have eaten in the restaurant in June

This was my second visit here, and the standard and quality of both the food and service remains excellent. We were a large group and needed to pre-order ahead but that was all arranged easily. Service was relaxed but efficient, the staff clearly are well trained and understand what good hospitality is all about. Despite being a large group, the restaurant was happy to accept individual payments at the till. This meant some people who needed to leave earlier could pay for their food and go - ideal and very civilised! Thank you team 'Office' for a super evening. ps: mushrooms on sourdough starter was amazing!

Great food and fantastic service. Highly recommend

Very attentive staff, food excellent. Best in southport.

First time in the office. Superb food all served piping hot, beautifully cooked and presented lovely. I will certainly be back again.

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant excellent food and service highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely first visit. Asked for an amendment to my order as had recently been unwell and the staff were very friendly, attentive and accommodating! This makes you want to go back again! The lovely warm welcome is always very important. Food was very good and will definitely visit again. My visit was at lunch on the Sunday 21/9/24. The girls who served us were delightful! Thankyou!

Met a couple of friends here, we hadn’t been here before so had been looking forward to it. We were not disappointed. It was a Tuesday evening so it wasn’t very busy. What a beautiful place. The staff are friendly and the food was lovely. We had a lovely evening.

Love this Restaurant for lunch and dinner. My friends from Scotland always choose to come to The Office. We visited last Saturday night and as always busy bubbly restaurant. Warm welcome amazing staff. My risotto starter with poached egg perfect and Fillet Steak medium to slightly more rare perfect. My friends steaks were also perfect. Role on September Rib Eye making an appearance. We all found room for the delicious deserts.

Another visit to this excellent restaurant always great atmosphere genuine lovely staff brilliant chefs. My friends from Scotland love this restaurant so do I for both lunch and dinner. Role on September Rib Eye ready to appear nice change from Fillet.

Terrific service ftom happy smiling and very efficient staff. Our meal was fabulous and there was a very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Our meal was great value and was top quality. All in all we would 100% recommend it.

Our fourth visit. As always, the staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. The dishes were. cooked perfectly and we enjoyed the combinations. Best restaurant in Southport and a lovely evening out, thank you!

Fantastic the food was amazing the staff were great and friendly. well worth a visit i try to fair with my reviews but WOW the place was Buzzing it was full to the brim with people if you want to go you will need to book a table I had the Chefs special burger it was fabulous

Fantastic food and service , one of the best "all rounder" restaurants in the North West. Highly Recommended...

Excellent. Delicious food, excellent value for money. Would highly recommend, will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious food, we really enjoyed everything we ordered. Great to have a separate vegetarian menu, although we did have to ask for it after having seen it online. The thai spiced veggie burger was really tasty. The staff where really lovely but the service was incredibly slow. It was a Saturday evening and the place was very busy but we did continually have to try catch someones eye to get service and the food took ages to arrive. Highly recommend provided you don't have anywhere else t be later.

Stumbled across this restaurant which had an appealing lunch time menu. One meat eater and one vegetarian were not disappointed. Food was delicious and staff professional and friendly. Really enjoyed our visit

Lovely! Very reasonable prices for great food and attentive service. Highly recommended. Not able to recommend all the dishes that we had because they don't all appear below. Food was excellent!

by far my best restaurant in southport at the moment thanks, food 💯

I have eaten at this restaurant a number of times and the food and service has always been excellent. I would recommend visiting to anyone who was in Southport.

As a family we come here every Christmas eve for a meal. The food never fails to disappoint and the staff are always friendly. The menu has a variety of meals to choose from and I would highly recommend trying the desserts and cocktails.

We called in for lunch on Monday 11th June. Staff were great very helpful, menu adapted for my wife who has many allergies, the waitress was really lovely and assisted us with our needs. Food was excellent and very good value. Great work all thankyou.

I have a dairy intolerance and The Office will adjust my choice of meal to cover this problem, which means I have wider choice from the menu. Excellent

Myself my mum and my little girl met here for lunch recently and it was lovely. My mum has a guide dog and sometimes worries about how it will be received at places but the staff were so kind and helpful here. We really enjoyed our food and the service was brilliant, I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic refined food, interesting and varied menu and really great friendly service as always. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food. Service was good. They allowed me to have alternative selections for the set Vegetarian menu thank you 😊

My first time visiting and I would gladly go again.

Had a fantastic meal and the staff were first class as well if you come here you won't be disappointed 👍

Excellent food, Very good service from the staff and a good environment. Would highly recommend .

Cooking has improved. Used to be very regular here but not that impressed the last few times so didn't go back for a while. However the choices and general quality have gone up and so happy to go back again... really good choices and definitely restaurant quality. UPDATE MARCH 2024. Gutted that lunches have been changed to just small plates and light bites. Unfortunately we are lunch people so for the time being, we won't be able to enjoy this lovely restaurant. Hopefully it will eventually revert to set menus at least. Response to owner: Maybe the choices are what the difference is. My last visit really felt different, we are coming to you very soon so it will be interesting!

Went on Sat 23rd March Went with friends had a three course meal with drinks , food was exceptional, drinks well priced , service excellent, Can highly recommend , something for everyone one on the menu, staff was very attentive, Will definitely book again

Just tried out the new nibbles and tapas menu. Wow! We had Garlic Bread, Goats Cheese, Halloumi Fries, Salmon Fish cake, lamb fritters. The flavours were amazing! Ok not the cheapest and not the quickest, and that’s because good food costs, and fresh food needs to be cooked. Amazing menu, amazing tastes.

Never had a bad meal at The Office. Service is always exceptional and food is plentiful and tasty. A great experience all round.

For excellent service, friendly staff and superb food, The Office is the only place to go in Southport. This place isn’t a steak house, but they cooked, presented and served our Chateaubriand to perfection, show casing the chef’s care and expertise. The accompaniments were sublime, again cooked perfectly with amazingly light tempura batter on the onion rings and cauliflower. Absolutely delighted with the experience, including the professional and welcoming waiting staff - big shout out to Jerry and Lucy for their concern that the meal was outstanding.

Mother’s Day family meal - absolutely delicious food and I highly recommend this independent bistro in Southport. The place is a credit to the family who own & run this restaurant.

Birthday meal out with the girls I had king prawn and salmon linguini one of the tastiest meals I had at the office Service was excellent

Lovely place for night out meal All staff freindly and nothing to much trouble Food very tasty

Really lovely family meal on a Friday night. The food was nicely presented and overall delicious (only 4 stars as the duck was overcooked for one guest), restaurant was very busy and had a great vibe about it. Service was friendly and professional, but we waited a while for our drinks order when we were seated. Will definitely return.

We had a delicious meal at The Office Restaurant last night (22/02/24) Staff friendly from start to finish and we were looked after well. A good choice of food on the menu making it difficult to choose what to have so we will definitely be going back again.

Popped in for a spot of lunch with a group of friends, would highly recommend, food was delicious, nice interiors and vibe, lovey staff. Defo a place to visit if you enjoy good food. Would defo visit again.

You always get good quality food and service with a relaxed atmosphere at the Office

Fabulous Valentines lunch, great service and food, highly recommend.

Dined here for my dad's 80th birthday, service was friendly and efficient. There is a separate vegetarian menu with plenty o vegan options which is great. Thai veggie burger pictured

Disappointed to be fair, lunch menu but avoid the salt an pepper chicken dish it’s literally swimming in oil, and the chicken it like reheated an soggy with grease not pleasent, eaten many times and been good but not this time the burger also with blue cheese is not nice blue cheese it’s far to overpowering it needs a change up, shame really was looking forward to it and left unhappy. Choose wisely if go.

Superb restaurant, fabulous food, brilliant service, great vegan and gluten free menu, knowledgeable staff, excellent wine, many thanks to all the staff

Been with four friends today for lunch. The food was excellent - 2 Courses for £20.00 good choice of menu. We had main and dessert both excellent value. All served by very pleasant and happy staff. Highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.

This is the best restaurant in Southport town centre- excellent quality ingredients, freshly prepared, appealing menu choices and fabulous service - I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal and did I mention great value for money.

Fantastic place with amazing food and staff. Catered to both our requests as both had intolerances and allergies. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. (Went with the 2 course options on a week day). Will definitely be returning! Thank you for a wonderful evening ☺️

Fabulous food and excellent service. Had a table of 12 for a family get together. All the food came together and was well presented. The scraggly were very friendly and worked really hard. Thanks for sorting out taxis too. Highly recommend this restaurant. It was very busy with a good vibe.

One of the best meals we have all had. We all had different starters and mains and a couple of amazing deserts. The service was first class as well. Highly recommend and we will be back.

A fantastic evening with amazing food and great service, warm and friendly welcome from the very first moment we stepped foot into the establishment, staff were so helpful and knowledgeable, food was top notch, fresh, tasty and delicious, lots of different types of cuisine to choose from and really great local produce used, the atmosphere was in here was so good, the cocktails were absolutely fabulous, we really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again!

Took my 94yr old Mum as a treat after her cancer op for Christmas day meal

We came on New Years Eve and had an absolutely fantastic meal. The servers were so friendly and food was exceptional. They even accommodated some of the party ordering tapas despite it being new years Eve. Lovely atmosphere, would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Great for biryhday party's with family very nice place

Exceptional food, great atmosphere, fantastic service... what more could you want? I was also lucky enough to meet Lee, the head chef and owner, a real gentleman which is clearly reflected in his excellent staff. It was an absolute pleasure to dine here.

Went last night when extremely busy with Christmas parties . Shown to a nice cosy booth . Christmas menu and specials on offer . Three courses for £30 . Plenty to choose from and everything we had was delicious. Service was excellent despite being so busy A very enjoyable evening

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere 👌

Excellent meal and service for our party of 62 people. There were also other people having lunch there, so the staff did really well to serve us all at the same time. My meal was hot and delicious.

Food was excellent and at a reasonable cost. So enjoyed the night out last night.

The Staff where Excellent, very efficient and Friendly. Food also Very Good.

Always had a lovely meal here and staff are normally excellent but last time waiter was a bit slow and not too friendly and we almost missed beginning of play

Food was exceptional, and great value. The Black Pudding special starter should be on the main menu. The staff were attentive and friendly.

Fabulous place for lunch. The menu is perfect with such a delicious choice of starters, mains, and dessert's.

Very pleasent meal,attentive staff,warm atmosphere. Chips a little undercooked and restaurant a tad underlit. Food well presented and reasonable value. Note,uni sex toilets may be offputting for some.

Superb food,I'll be going again soon

The restaurant hosted a 90th birthday lunch today. Everything was spot on. Many thanks. The ' birthday queen' loved every minute.

Warm friendly atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious food. 2 course menu excellent value will definitely go again

Booked The Office for lunch on the strength of its Trip Advisor rating on a swift visit to Southport. The food and service were excellent and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

A thoroughly enjoyable meal at The Office Bar and Restaurant. Very comfortable seating area (for 6 of us) which meant we could see each other and chat away while waiting for our meals. Great choice on menu and every one of us was delighted with our food. Attentive staff and Lucy, in particular was very friendly and helpful. Toilets clean and bright which I think is very important especially in a restaurant (and sadly not always the case). We were all so happy with our experience in The Office Bar and Restaurant we went back again the next night! Need I say more? We were on a short break from Scotland or I am sure this would become one of our regular haunts. Thanks to The Office Bar and Restaurant for a delightful and enjoyable experience.

Always great food, wine, friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Fantastic food and fantastic service, Lucy was very attentive and helpful. This is one of the best places we have eaten and my wife and myself have been in many different restaurants all over the world. John

Great selection of drinks from continental beer to cocktails. Particularly good bar food.

Had dinner here at highchair hour with our family and 13 month old and it was fabulous. The staff were very helpful with GF options and went out of their way to tell me what items were coeliac safe including a delicious soup, halloumi fries, and scrumptious brûlée with crumble. A wonderful experience

Doesn't need a long review. Wonderful restaurant, great food, excellent and attentive staff. Had a fantastic meal, at the weekend, with friends, Lee (owner) always has a good and varied menu and every meal was outstanding. Highly recommended.

This is a restaurant we hadn’t visited for several years. We went on Saturday evening and the Office was busy. Staff were welcoming and we were shown to a pleasant area towards the back of the restaurant. The atmosphere was lively. People were obviously happy to be there Our understanding of the menu was supported by knowledgeable staff. We noted two and three course options on the menu which we thought to be good value The food was excellent and staff were attentive throughout. The visit was very enjoyable and we will certainly return.

Probably the best restaurant in Southport

Our favourite place to eat in Southport

The food was incredible, and the staff were lovely.

What a fabulous family owned restaurant this is!My friend and I have dined here for the last two nights and are back tomorrow. The food is amazing.Good size portions and reasonably priced. The Chef obviously takes huge pride in what he sends out from the kitchen.My rump of lamb I ate this evening was cooked to perfection and the malted milk brulee was sublime. Desserts are to die for especially their "trio of desserts". The staff are all so friendly ,pleasant and efficient. Special thanks to Charlotte and Poppy who have looked after us so well and are a credit to their job. There is a lovely cocktail bar within the restaurant,perfect for a pre dinner drink. If you're looking for first class food served with a smile then look no further.The Office has been a pleasure to visit. Thanks everyone!

Eight family members had a really lovely meal here on Saturday night. We do not know the area and did not know this restaurant but if we go to Southport again, we will make a beeline for it! The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! There was a pleasant, warm atmosphere. We all concluded it was one of the best meals we had had in a long time. Fantastic!

Love the office always good service and pleasant staff and clean. Haven't eaten recently but have in the past and it's good food.

Lovely place staff were amazing. Really nice place

I'm not local but have been to the office a few times when visiting Southport, great food and the drinks selection is varied. Always had a good nigh there.

Tapas was amazing each individual dish very tasty & we were all shocked @ the overall bill..which was less than we thought it would be..

Even though it was a Thursday evening, it was very pleasant, and the food choices were great, highly recommended

Never had a bad meal here, plus the price of the food is really good. Whether or not its in the bar or the restaurant the staff are helpful and engaging. I'm always cautious of recommending pubs or restaurants to eat as they often are hit and miss but the Office over the years has proven to be a safe recommendation.

Easily accessible for the less a led

Amazing place. Definitely recommend

Best restaurant in Southport. Every meal here has always been 5*

As always a good evening. Good food reasonable prices. Excellent

Tucked down a back street, next to the Masons Arms a great find. Well prepared food at good prices and exceptional service.
