    Enjoyed the visit to the Cavern Club Restaurant but food was ok - didn’t expect great things! Definitely a spot for the tourists but good service and atmosphere…

    Friendly service, great atmosphere as it was very loud outside yet calm and quiet inside. Food was great except for the cheesecake which I’d expect to have been homemade for the price

    Food good and a great location. 4 star instead of 5 as we felt a bit processed. Would still return though

    Excellent location across from The Cavern Club. Service was great. Becky was great and should have a name tag :). Food was very good and served hot.
