"After being recommended vigour by an friend, I popped in for lunch. On arrival, I was greeted by a friendly staff member who made me feel welcome. Going through the extensive menu full of delicious delights and delicacies, I opted for shredded pork tortillas and pork bao bao for starters, and steak (medium rare and eggs (soft poached. For mains with a refreshing cola with ice, and a creamy coffee for after. The atmosphere in there is really quite nice. The rustic vibe, of exposed bricks, rot iron fixtures and neon signs gave it plenty of character. While the ability to see into the kitchen gave you a good sense of connection to where the action truly takes place. Their shredded pork tortillas came as a trio with a lovely dip. Being a starter, they were small but flavorful. The bao bao which i can only describe as tortillas but in a softer and thicker wrap with a slightly sweet note to them were lovely, and made for a pleasant new experience. They were quite accommodating when I asked for peppercorn sauce for my steak, and managed to do a flat ironed steak to perfect medium rare. With creamy yolk gently glazing it, every mouthful was a joy. I will also note their coffee was particularly creamy and frothy which I really liked. Now, the one potential down side for some is the prices. While the food I had was lovely, and I don't at all regret going. I will say it's not somewhere you go to eat on a tight budget. You pay for the atmosphere, and the food quality is above many typical cookie cutter restaurants. My meal came to just over £34 drinks included, and while I can't make it a regular, I surely will be making it a spot my son and I go to treat ourselves. I will say that if I had my son with me at the time, I could have split the starters and just added chips to the mains to feed both of us quite happily for not much more. Should you be in a position to go regularly, take advantage of their loyalty scheme and get some tasty perks."

"We stopped by for drinks while we were in the area. The prices for all the drinks were reasonable, and I highly recommend trying the milkshakes, especially the strawberry and coconut flavors. The cakes were a good size and reasonably priced, although there was a limited selection since we arrived late in the day. We were able to sit outside with our dog, and the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant."

"Perfect New Years Hot Pot Delivery I’ve never been to Dentons Deli before and saw them advertising Cottams hot pot delivered baked to your door on New Years Eve ... well that seemed like an opportunity too good to be true for a busy mum of 4.. I was worried it might not turn up as if never used them before but thought I would risk it rather than dragging the kids out of bed and queuing for hotpot and I needn’t have worried at all ... Great Price Great service and hope you do it again this new year .. Thank you :"

"Visited Galleria (Rainhill on Friday night, not our first visit as we are usually very happy with the quality of food and standard of cooking provided. However, we were hugely dissatisfied on this occasion. The 3 course Christmas meal was more expensive than advertised on the website! (website misleading. The main course and dessert were very disappointing with regards to portion sizes and food temperature, for example the pork option consisted of one slice of meat, one small carrot and one sprout (not joking and was luke warm. Christmas pudding not what you'd imagine, a small thin square with some sauce ! and was also lukewarm. Chocolate pudding option was remarkable for the fact that one of our guest received a much smaller portion than the other. Should have complained but did not want to cause a fuss or embrasment in front of our guests. Terrible value for money, in hindsight should have gone to the Cookhouse Carvery at least you know its consistent and good value for money, no fancy menu descriptions!"

"Our second visit to this Indian restaurant and its becoming a firm favorite, the service and food on both occasions has been excellent. free parking at the rear is a bonus and the square at the front has several 'trendy ' bars and restaurants, price wise I found it very reasonable and the portions are generous- no photos on this visit as it was a birthday meal out and busy interacting with people but I will definitely be returning soon"
