    We had a booking which we made over a month in advance. We turned up on the day and the building was closed. There were also other guests who had a table booked waiting to get in. Nobody answered the phone and the restaurant was completely closed wit no lights on. Nobody has contacted us to apologise despite us emailing to complain.

    Food was ok. Entertainment was very basic. We had a problem with our final bill due to the balance not reflecting the deposit we'd already paid. This wasn't rectified and we did end up paying extra for no reason at all other than to get out of there. If your paying deposits I'd definitely recommend checking over your final bill as I can imagine we weren't the first people this has been done to.

The staff were amazing dont know any of the Names but the lady on the front desk was fab and she was so nice to my little boy so thank you so much for a lovely experience, it was our first visit from Liverpool & we will be back :)

    We asked to move table as the table we were sat at was next to the toilets that stank of wee. Which was fine we moved tables. We went for the roast brunch - there was no beef available, and only one portion of cauliflower cheese. We were a booking of 8 people. I did mention they should have pre warned us about the availability to which I was told “you should have pre ordered your food”. The food was cold. The children’s meals were brought to the table 10 mins after the adults food and the gravy was brought over when we had finished our meal. We were really excited about trying this restaurant but sadly is was disappointing.

    Made a table reservation in the restaurant for 11pm arrived and were told that the kitchen was closed and the booking was for drinks only. No where on my booking confirmation does it say the reservation was only for drinks. Disappointed

    Absolute fantastic venue, atmosphere and staff. The drinks with our bottomless brunch were continually checked and replenished… a staff member even gave us antihistamine to save us going to find a shop. Service and staff were fantastic, right from the start of booking and returning my query emails!! The entertainment that was put on was top notch and highly entertaining and immersive!! Thanks for a fantastic afternoon!! We are extremely excited to return!! 🥰

    I always have the best time at Menagerie, the food is amazing and the entertainment is out of this world! The only thing that slightly let me down this time was the DJ, the music didn’t create a vibe where people got up and danced and the restaurant cleared quite early on because of that in my opinion. I would usually get up and dance in there but I just wasn’t feeling it because of the music sadly. But overall it was a lovely night!
