51 Mill Lane Bar | Kitchen | Garden — Restaurant in Liverpool

Went for bottomless brunch at the end of July, it was really disappointing. Most of the cocktails were like juice, we had a rose sangria that looked more like sex on the beach and service for drinks was so slow, kept having to chase, was told we hadn't placed an order (even though we could tell her exactly who took it). Food was nice but we were missing a few of the dishes, waitress told us everything had come out and maybe one of our party had picked something up 'by accident' but agreed to put the order back through like she was doing us a favour. Apparently they were short staffed but the attitude of the girl who served us was appalling, instead of just saying we're short staffed, please bare with us, she just kept accusing us of not placing orders and eating eachother's food and was quite rude! Four of our group were also really ill the next day (and not because of the drinks because we didn't get enough and stopped drinking in the end as they all tasted like juice). Considering how short staffed they were, they still continued to take walk in brunch bookings! One of our party who'd been before had said how good the brunch was previously so perhaps this was just an off day but this experience totally put me...

Food was exceptional. Delicious doesn't start, best squid I've had on years. Service was spotty... group of 12 on a works event so I understand it's intimidating doing large orders. However, every round of drinks was wrong. Some had drinks we didn't order, some had missed people out, some left drinks sat on the bar that long the order after had joined them, and some didn't actually have alcohol in.... then we got told we couldn't order drinks while we still had drinks, on an unlimited deal, that had only provided 2 per person im an hour. When it was pointed out the 2 drinks we were asking for were for people who had no drinks, we got a lecture. An actual dressing down, by a waiter, for asking for 2 drinks. To say we won't go back is an understatement. This review is mostly to thank and congratulate the kitchen staff for excellent food. The shining light...

Good service, rubbish food!!

I visited with my wife midweek and it was a very mediocre meal at best, the service and setting are great but the food was a disaster.

The bread board we ordered to start was stale, the focaccia just crumbled and it was drizzled in oil but yet so dry?

The other dishes were all bland and also weirdly cold, the meatballs looked steaming hot but the centre was ice cold. The salmon was way overcooked and crisp on the edges but yet also cold inside.....We both suspected the salmon was frozen as the texture just didn't appear to be fresh. The Pizzete was bland with too much cheese and overall it was a waste of money for the price paid....

If you are after Tapas I would strongly recommend trying somewhere else as this place will...
