Booked the courtyard for a meal with a friend over the bank holiday weekend. It was busy both in the bar and the restaurant but service was good as was the food and really reasonably priced too. Stayed for a cocktail in the bar after and it was really nice too

A relaxing, warm experience with good food & wine - service always attentive without being obvious or pushy. Some dishes could have been hotter (temperature-wise!), but delicious as usual.

Lot of food to choose from on the menu,portions could have been a bit bigger for four people also plenty of drinks to choose from as well and best to book you table beforehand.

Great night out and the staff are lovely. Tapas is really tasty and good value which is a bonus as other places always seem to over charge.

Firstly it wasn't busy. We were greeted and sat warmly. I arrived before my client, and I ordered a drink which arrived quickly. She then ordered a drink, a bottle arrived with no offer of a glass. Our food order was amazing, the food is lovely, well prepared, good selection and the dishes we choose were really nice. We ordered a second drink order. The server forgot our order, and we prompted, she then came back to say she'd forgotten what we ordered. We informed her, and then it was delayed again. So it was a bit of a mixed experience. I'd say your front of house staff are letting you down. As the restaurant space and atmosphere was good, the food excellent, but the service not great.

We were welcomed by the staff, and were shown to our table, very attentive staff, despite the restaurant being a little busy. Our friends were very I spreader, as were we, the food was excellent, lamb was lovely and the other roasts, pork and beef looked scrumptious. Thank you to all, we will definitely be back soon!

We had visited the Courtyard on previous occasions mostly for tapas, My party were disappointed with the Sunday Lunch yesterday. The roast potatoes were a little hard and the beef was tough. There was no apple pie available but no alternative offered to complete the 3 course offer without paying £2.50 extra. Very Disappointed

Great food. Good service. But you do need to book in advance. And parking can be a bit of a pain depending on the time of evening. But well worth it! Recommended.

Visited after a show in Liverpool. Food as normal was amazing, service was slightly behind were we normally expect due to 2 very big parties being in - still a good experience.

Ask for a table away from the serving hatch and the toilets, you won't be able to enjoy your meal for staff and customers squeezing between your table to serve meals and customers getting to the toilets.

Booked a table and when we arrived was very busy. Food order was very messed up ,while you wait courses came after the mains started to arrive, some food never turned up at all , some people had finished whilst others were still waiting and drinks had to be chased up on numerous occasions. Having said all that , the manager was fantastic and did her best to sort it all out and no complaints about the food when it finally arrived !

Lovely food and atmosphere, the only downside is that it gets incredibly loud in the restaurant area especially when there are large groups in there and you find yourself hoarse after shouting to compete with the all the other diners.

The venue is lovely, the food choice was excellent, the servic could have been better. We waited about 40 mins for the food, just before it came out we were told we would have to pick another dish because there was none left of something. This would have been useful when we first ordered. The food could have been hotter too. It was a very busy Saturday night so I can imagine that at a quieter time this place is lovely. Hasn't put me off going again though. Will just pick my time more wisely!

The food was very good, however the service really let it down. Just needs more care and attention to detail. Having to ask for condiments and for plates to be removed. Nobody asked were we happy with the food. Disappointing, but will try again incase it was just a one off bad day.

Food was good but atmosphere was rubbish. Couldn't have a conversation with the people sat next to me because of the noise. People were seating there drinking ad banging our table with the chairs. Some of them were quite drunk. We had to get up and move to other table. It used to be a nice place

Lovely food and drinks - very much enjoyed! (But be aware - very busy place - we were told as we sat down they would need the table back by a certain time (put us on edge slightly and very aware of time), can also be very noisy in there as quite small.) Will be returning definitely!

My companions tapas dishes were lovely. I pointed out mine were not. Nothing said by staff so little disappointed. (Steak unpleasant and dauphinois potatoes overcooked). Couple of the staff didn't appear to want to be there either; not v engaging. Almost distracted. Wouldn't discourage me from going again; hopefully just one of those nights.

The evening was very disappointing , the quality of the food even at forty percent off wax very poor . We ordered the prawn linguine normally £6.75 , it had 4 tiny prawns in it , the other dishes were of similar poor content in terms of either the fish or the chicken , very poor value The manager was excellent , tried very hard to placate us I think he understood our point - make sure you keep him he's a gem
