JT AKSHAYA — Restaurant in Sefton

First time trying this brand new restaurant last night , after hearing such great reviews…. it did not disappoint! Interior was unbelievable… couldn’t quite believe I was in Southport it had a sexy city vibe which was amazing.

They had a great selection of draft beers, spirits & wines… the beers me and my friends selected couldn’t be faulted all tasted perfect 👌🏻

Service was fantastic, considering having only been open maybe a couple weeks , to accommodate 16 of us on a Wednesday night whilst already having a full restaurant there was no problem.

My friends and I ordered starters and mains , I won’t go into what each and one of us got but there is a variety of all different dishes which not one of us could fault , everything was perfect. One dish I was very optimistic about was chicken Mac & cheese something I had never heard of after a few people had mentioned it to me , Just wow the contrast of flavors worked so well.

The staff were very kind to sing happy birthday to my friend who was celebrating his day , it was no problem at all… they brought out a cheese cake and sang to him

Overall my experience last night was fantastic and I can’t wait to return , I have just booked again for a couple weeks time with more...

Had an amazing meal here for our first Anniversary. Food was beautiful. My other half loved his curry, I’m not too keen on curry or spicy things but there was loads of choice still for me (I had the salmon). We got 3 courses each and 2 rounds of drinks and it only came to £80 so definitely get your moneys worth! The decor is unreal! I used to work in the venue when it was the pub beforehand and couldn’t recognise it as being the same building aside from outside. They’ve really put a lot of work into the place and it shows! Sounds weird but I’m excited to go back and sit in a different place 😂 (next to the fish tanks, under the tree, etc.) Staff are wonderful - I had requested a quiet spot when I booked online and explained it was because of the anniversary and not only did they give us the most secluded, romantic spot; they wished us a happy anniversary on the way in, brought us a special dessert with celebration music and were just all round very nice, polite and attentive. Everything was done at a good pace, we were asked if we were ready for mains or wanted a break, had check-backs for each course and all felt very silver service. Honestly, top marks! We will definitely be...

Terrible service, average food!

Visited with friends at the weekend and upon arrival was about to be greeted by a lovely lady when a man in a suit barged her out of the way whilst shouting at her before pretending to politely greet us. We were cramped onto a small booth yet smaller groups occupied the larger booths. Our order was taken quickly and the starters arrived soon after, however our main courses didn’t arrive for over an hour after our starters! A waiter started clearing the dishes whilst people in our party were still eating despite being told we hadn’t yet finished. Almost immediately after that, about 35 minutes after being served our main courses, same suited man (manager?) approached us and told us they needed the table back as the next guests had arrived. We let him know we’d only finished our food 5 mins earlier however within about 20 seconds, before we’d even had chance to stand up there waiters blocking the table exists trying to sweep and spraying the tables down whilst we were still trying to get out!!! I spoke with the “manager” on the way out but he could barely give me a second of his time and clearly wasn’t interested! So disappointed as it’s a...
