Food was average and restaurant was very noisy. Waitress was pleasant but addressed us as “YOUS” continually! Staff kept wheeling metal carts past us!!! A very large room which would be better boothed off to prevent echo and noise.

Good food and service with a great atmosphere. Emma our waitress was excellent throughout the meal. The hotel caters for hen and stag parties but for us this was plus as the restaurant was fun and lively.

Quite the worst restaurant we have encountered for years. Fighting through the smokers at the door we then approached the tackiest place I have seen purporting to be a restaurant. Dozens of people round a bar, at least two screens showing football (yes I know it's the Shankly Hotel but we went for a meal). Add to that noise a singer as well, too loud. We were shown to a table next to three drunks sat drinking and then left alone. No offer of wine etc. Menu did look inviting but needless to say we left before ordering and eventually the wonderful staff at San Carlo squeezed us in for a lovely meal we should have been having at the Bastion.

Service was absolutely fabulous, the location is ideal and inside of the restaurant was lovely too. Only issue we has was the soup could have been hotter and was more tangy than I expected for a tomato and red pepper soup

The restaurant can be very busy and noisy. The food was very nice, but expensive. It is worth a visit, particularly if staying at the hotel.

Can't make its mind up whether it's a restaurant or a sports bar. The football memorabilia I get, but TV screens everywhere with Sky on a loop I don't. It was also full of hen parties. Not my idea of a good dining experience. As for the food. The selection was limited but that's ok. It was the quality that let it down. The scotch egg starter was ok but the salad which sat along side it had definitely seen better days. The lamb main was, again, ok but really too salty - a common complaint from the rest of my party who, between us had the lamb, ox cheek and the chicken breast. In short, I wouldn't recommend it and won't be returning.

Fab food, relaxing atmosphere, great service. Went for Afternoon Tea, when it arrived it didn't look much but there was too much to eat in the end. Very enjoyable and worth the money. Helps you escape the day to day stresses.

Was to noisey, restaurant was not seperate from the bar area. Also the Faberet entertainment was cancelled, I was not informed about this. This was the only reason we booked the meal as it was my Mum's 70th birthday. Food was average. Could not fault service of the staff though

Had Sunday lunch at the bastion, we had a wonderful time, food was delicious, I had the chicken & my husband had the beef, bruschetta & fishcakes to start & I had treacle tart for pudding, there was a Frank Sinatra tribute on & he was very good, only down side & why I scored 5, service was very slow, not every table was taken so not super busy, staff were very pleasant, just a bit slow on drinks service, but I would definitely go again

Lovely,friendly staff. Very clean and relaxed. Lovely starter of scotch egg and main course of chicken. However, the dessert which was strawberry cheesecake really let it down as it wasn't nice at all.

The food was nice, but the service isnt great, the resturant wasnt particularly busy but it seemed to take a while for food and drinks to come, having to ask for the bill twice and then sat waiting to pay (while the staff had a nice little chat between themselves) i got fed up and walked to the counter to pay.

Restaurant was lovely and waitress who looked after us was very good, made sure we always had fresh tea and coffee and checking if we needed anymore cold drinks, frequently changed and gave us fresh small side plates when asked. Table reaserved for 2, we both had the afternoon tea at £20 p/p The experience was very good but for the full cost of £40.00 in total their was probably about £10/£15 worth of cakes and sandwiches. A selection of cakes and sandwiches were quite hard on the outside suggesting they weren't freshly made that day, our table was booked for half 3 so I don't believe they were made that day and just left out for a while.

A superb setting for any Liverpool fan surrounded by the glory days. The service was a little slow although the staff were extremely polite. We were left alone undisturbed to catch up. I had the 6oz rump steak which was cooked to perfection. Well worth a visit just to soak up the atmosphere. A resonable price for quality food.

Good service. Lovely food. Downside was the noise. Lots of hen parties lots of noise. Couldn't hear yourself speak. Waitress Rebecca very attentive and obliging. Organised our taxi and saw us safely in it. Only downside for me was the noise. I have been here midweek and it's much quieter
