What are you talking about? Piccolino is anything, but rubbish. Especially the one in Liverpool is arguably the best in town. Whenever I come shopping to Liverpool, I make sure to visit Piccolino. I guess, as many people, as many opinions.

Sugarvine is great.

Don't recommend Sapporo Teppanyaki. For a show it's great but food it's appalling. Unfortunately the whole street of duke street restaurants is owned by the same cowboy. The indian restaurant and the mexican restaurant and the japanese rest, and...... italian il forno is owned by the same guy. Just don't rate it. Same ridiculous chefs jumping about. Seen them run one day from the mexican to the indian rest. Could'nt stop laughing.

(1) Simply Heathcotes is great but expensive - british dishes. If you have the money try this. Expect to spend £35 a head.
(2) Etsu - japanese (way better). The sushi is great but the sashimi is not so great. The tempura is lovely as well. You want to try the Tonkatsu main pork fillet. Lovely. Something really different. Saki is brilliant. Expect to spend £20 per head.

(3) Tai Pan restaruant - chinese (must take a taxi). Out of town. The only chinese restaurant that is properly done for chinese people's mouths. Basically if the restaurant is full with chinese, it must be good. Spend only average £15 per head. If you are desperate for chinese and don't want to take a taxi, go to china town and try MEI MEI's.

LiverpoolOne now has new restaurants. I have tried them all from Pizza hut, Nando's, wagamama, burger joint, etc and only Nando's hits my taste buds. But you can just go around the corner.

As you are staying in the marriot these restaurants are in reachable distance. Otherwise you will be going to Ask around the corner (which is poor). Or the classic Nando's which you can't fail. LOL. Tavern is'nt that much good. Use your vouchers if you really want to taste microwaved stuff.

PS. don't agree with the bar and grill. Nothing special. A group of friend spent £500 there. We everything from starters to steaks etc and champagne. Service is great but food, nothing special. But... brilliant bar. The same boss owns Piccolino which is also rubbish.

Don't try carragher's restaurant. Poor as well. But decent bar surrounded by Liverpool FC merchandise.

If you like that kind of food, I can recommend Sahara restaurant. It's up in the University 'campus' area, at the top of Mount Pleasant; on Arrad Street.
It's not a fancy restaurant, but it serves authentic Lebanese and Syrian food, it's got proper N African style decoration (ie. quite a lot of it!), and the staff are awesome. It's also stupidly cheap. The mains are fine, but I recommend mixing and matching mezzes between you; loads of them are veggie, as you would expect, and the food really is great.
If you're looking for somewhere to impress a VIP or to take someone who is a little conservative, it's not ideal, but for a brilliant eating experience and a lot of fun, it's my favourite.
Merry Christmas!

Egg cafe in city centre is spoken highly of, also try Lark Lane, L17, I can recommend Keiths, Pablo's & Elif

I loved the piccolino in the center of liverpool, I think it is on the cook street. Very cosy and perfect food. It was one of my nicest experiences in Liverpool. I can recommend this place to anybody.

The Indian, Mayur, is owned by a local Indian family and is nothing to do with the others. It's been spot on every time I've been there. Top food and friendly staff. I'd be extremely surprised if the chefs from Mayur (with it's open kitchen) were also being seconded to Sapporo etc.

Do you work in a rival restaurant across the street or something?

The Olive Press (Castle Street), part of Heathcotes chain.
You could walk from either the ferry or the Theatre (give yourself 25 mins to Theatre).
Check website, sometimes have vouchers.
The Everyman bistro (near Catholic cathedral is good for cheap eats & nice beer - & child friendly).
Food also decent in the Conservation centre (Whitechapel).

Avoid the Grapes on Mathew street - a once great boozer turned into a rancid vertical drinking Karoke joint.

Monro (Duke Street) also reasonable.

Tokyo Noodle Bar (Berry Street) is supposed to be very cheap and decent food but have not been myself.

On a side note Sapporo Teppanyaki is more style than substance plus you come out stinking of fried food and it ain't cheap either.

I'd stick to the city centre - Damons in Speke would take about 40 mins on the bus.
