While the food was underwhelming, the service was top notch. Our waiter deserved ALL THE STARS. Also the vibe with the live music was incredible. Furthermore we were welcomed with a toddler and felt very accepted. 🙂. Thanks for a wonderful Christmas dinner!

We had the tasting menu, one of the services was good the rest was outstanding. So much flavour and the wine pairing was really on point. In terms of service it was one of the best experience I have had. Both the waiter and the somelier were really knowledgeable about what they were serving and very hospitable. It's was quite expensive but I feel like we got our money's worth.

Delicious dinner at Liverpool House last night. We ended up sitting at a table, not at the bar. Taylor, our waiter was phenomenal. Attentive, friendly and gave great advice on the menu and drink selection . The cod was perfectly done, very tasty. The bavette and fries also tasted amazing. The salad with green apple and cheese had a great taste, we want the recipe!! The dessert with a cheesecake topping and squash was perfect. All the other staff were very friendly and attentive, which created for a wonderful atmosphere.
