"Went again last Monday. We tend to go around twice a month and it is really the only restaurant I go to. Tripadvisor only allows reviews at 3-month intervals or I would write more. The food remains consistently outstanding. I like spicy food and almost always have the same things. Chicken Pakhete to start followed by Chicken Namche or Chicken/Lamb Dhede Khursani with Lasooni (garlic)bread. Service is efficient and friendly. I think a recent bad review relates to another establishment with a similar name. This place is faultless."

"Title says it all really. I've been here 3 times for lunch which was nice and after encouraging my meat eating husband to give it a try I was gutted it turned out like this. We do a 5k walk on a Saturday morning and stopped here half way. We waited as, the sign said, to be sat down...in the end I shouted over to one of the girls if it was ok to sit anywhere. We sat down and after about a 10 minute wait ordered coffees. The waitress, without being unkind, was a bit surly but hey ho, most of the tables (but still only 4 tables) were in use so just thought they were a bit busier than usual. Coffee came, ordered poached eggs on toast and a small veggie brekkie (which is £7.80 by the way so not cheap). We then waited...and waited. Others too were sat there wondering where their orders were, you could see people looking over to the counter. No one came over and apologised for the wait or asked us if we wanted anything else to drink. It got to the point when we were going to walk out...literally an hour later...when our breakfast turned up. Husband 2 poached eggs...1 piece of toast. Mine...(and I know it was a small one but remember, it was £7.80) 1 veggie sausage, 2 tiny discs of black pudding...no bigger and not as thick as a 2 quid coin, 1 teaspoon of mushroom, 1 tablespoon of beans, half a slice of toast and a poached egg. It was stone cold. I was going to complain but husband hates fuss so we ate and left. Only after we had paid were we asked if everything was ok. Husband, unusually for him spoke up and said mine was cold. We were offered a take away coffee. He declined. I am really disappointed as i wanted to make this place a regular stop on our walks. The coffee is lovely so that was one plus. Staff could have made this so much easier by apologising to people waiting and offering a refill on the coffees. Not at any time did anyone waiting get approached with an explanation or apology. The small breakfasts are a rip off if that is the regular fare that is served up. It might have been better if it had been hot too. These two orders should take 10-15 mins to serve up. Sorry to say that we won't be going back."

"The Driftwood Café in New Brighton is undoubtedly one of the best cafes around. The food is not only excellent and freshly made, but also incredibly delicious. They serve a generous pot of tea and the staff, including Amanda, Sandra, and Jenny, are extremely friendly and welcoming. It is clear that they are dedicated to ensuring that every customer has the most enjoyable experience possible. We are so glad we stumbled upon this gem – the Driftwood Café truly deserves the title of No. 1 Café in New Brighton. We highly recommend it to everyone!"

"I recently dined at this restaurant for dinner and I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. The price range per person is between £10–20, which I found to be very reasonable for the quality of food and service provided. I would give the food, service, and atmosphere all a rating of 5 out of 5. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal in a fantastic setting."

"Hats off to the management and staff of Cantinetta for truly earning this one-star review from me. It was a team effort that I felt deserved recognition. We had guests from out of town and it was up to us to pick a restaurant that showcased the best of Crosby (according to Google reviews). We were a party of 10 who had reserved a table for Saturday evening with plenty of time to prepare and even pre-order if needed. Upon arrival, we were seated and given the drink menu. Unfortunately, the staff took 40 minutes before taking our drink orders, despite reminders. They seemed to make excuses rather than fulfill their duties. We should have probably left at that point, but we stayed. The food that was eventually served was inedible, particularly the Bruschettas which were popular choices for starters. There were delays in serving the main dishes as well, with some younger guests jokingly starting to eat the table. Thankfully, the main meals were of decent quality once served, but the service lacked any apologies or acknowledgment of our dissatisfaction. When we spoke to the manager about our experience, he seemed indifferent. This lack of care or apologies for a subpar experience on their part is the reason for this one-star review. Everyone has an off night, but the indifference to customer satisfaction shown by Cantinetta was truly remarkable.Service: Dine inMeal type: DinnerPrice per person: £30-40Food: 2Service: 1Atmosphere: 2"
