    Food was ok if a little pricey.. service was excellent though. We were quite close to the door, so every time someone entered you would get a waft of cigarette smoke from smokers at the other bars on Matthew street and one hell of a racket from the bar over the way.

    Staff were friendly and really helpful. Food was excellent and generous portions. Venue itself was really atmospheric and a great place to eat before moving across the street to the club.

    I was in Liverpool, so of course I had to try the scouse. The food and the drinks were excellent and the service was top-notch. Matthew Street can get quite loud on a good night, but rest assured this place is well sound proofed.

    E' stata una bellissima serata. Scouse davvero ottima e anche la birra. Ci sarebbe piaciuto visitare anche il Cavern Club ma ci hanno scoraggiato i frequentatori di Matthiew street, quasi tutti e tutte visibilmente alterati dall'alcool. Speriamo di tornare presto grazie a Ryanair che ci fa pagare 20€ per un volo verso Liverpool. Soggiorno di meno di 24 ore a Liverpool, ma memorabile, anche grazie al Cavern Restaurant. Grazie di cuore.
