Lovely restaurant with great Bill Shankley memorabilia. Food lovely. Main menu quite expensive but we had the early bird menu which was good value for money.

Waitress was excellent, not sure of her name, short blonde girl, made the evening a pleasure experience for me and my family. Would definitely go again.

Food really good, service spot on, lovely friendly atmosphere. This was our first visit, won’t be our last. Memorabilia and photos displayed are amazing. Brought back many fond memories.

Good food, good service! My wife, our daughter and I were enjoying a quiet lunch when a wedding party arrived. They surrounded our table, leant on the backs of our chairs instead of sitting down and were very loud in their so called conversation! When we politely asked them to move away from our table, they became extremely obnoxious! Why this party was not allocated an area in the Bastion where they would not disturb other diners, I do not know? Extremely bad organisation by whoever is in charge of seating arrangements. It will be a long time before we chance another visit to the Shankly!

The food was delicious and we were well looked after. The restaurant has lots of memorabilia relating to Bill Shankly which was really interesting. Only down side was the temperature we were sat near the main door and it was very cold for most of the evening so we had to eat with our coats on

Excellent meal and great atmosphere. Whether there for a drink, to watch the football or a family meal, there is something for everyone at the Bastion.

Quick service and good food. Ordered off the early bird menu which was good value. The food was well cooked. Starters could have done with a little more garnish

We go here a lot before Liverpool games. The service is amazing and the porn star martinis are the best! However my friends have raved previously about the steak but it was fatty and really disappointing

10/10 for food/service however expensive, paid for a all in package at the hotel (two course meal) and still had to pay £40 as there was supplement charges. Rip off!

Our table was ready for us on our arrival . Waitress service was excellent . Venue clean and tidy including the toilets. Some good offers on , like buy one get one free on pints of lager if Liverpool F.C are winning at half time ! Food a little expensive but very tasty , loved the scouse (£9.50) , fish & chips (£11.50) but you do get a free pint with certain dishes . Overall a good , clean tidy venue and the staff very helpful , polite and professional , well done Shankly Hotel .

Booked for lunch on a Sunday first time we had been. We arrived 15 minutes early and curtly told by a waitress to go to the bar. At no point did she say we will let you know when your table is ready. After approaching the bar 3 times and 20 minutes later we were shown to our table which had been ready all along. The service through the meal was good. Bit disappointing that if you didn’t have the Sunday lunch menu there were no starters on the alternative menu. Sunday lunch was nice but deserts were disappointing especially the ice cream never known ice cream to be wrong but this was awful. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant and a nice touch at the end we were given a small discount off the bill as it was my sons birthday. Not sure I’d go back to eat but would certainly pop in for a drink.

Enjoyed our afternoon tea at the Bastion restaurant. Saturday afternoon was very busy and although it was good, felt that coming during the week when less busy was better. Service etc was very good, although did have to keep asking for tea etc. Would still recommend though as still good value for money.

The restaurant was like Bedlam, the atmosphere seemed chaotic. After we had ordered we were told that as we had arrived a little early the kitchen wouldn't be able to take our order until a little later which we were fine with. We enjoyed our starters but there was confusion over two of the mains and by the time they were sorted out the other 3 of us had finished eating. I'd asked for no chorizo in the shrimp sauce that went with my sea bass, when it came there wasn't any sauce at all and my friends sea bass had no sauce either! I would normally have mentioned it but as the lovely young lady who was looking after us was trying to sort out the other stuff I left it. We were given a complimentary drink which we appreciated but we went to the Shankly to eat and I've had better experiences elsewhere and wouldn't go again, sorry.

Service was great, atmosphere was great, but the lunch menu for a prodigious setting was very poor!! Was looking for À la cart menu in the grand setting.

very nice food, servers were good, albeit a little slow with some drinks but nothing to complain about. I enjoyed the atmosphere and history of Liverpool both as a city and football club even though i'm an Everton fan!

Atmosphere, service and quality of the food and drinks were all excellent and only exceeded by the value for money. A little gem and a great find.
