Excellent food. Excellent staff. Really nice wine that was very reasonably priced. Just about as good as it gets in Liverpool. Visited for Saturday lunch and it seemed like a perfect time, not too busy, not too quiet with a full menu on offer.

We visited the Monro with friends on a Saturday night in May 2016. The place was very busy but the atmosphere was welcoming and service at the bar was quick and friendly. At our booking time we moved into the restaurant and were greeted by the friendly serving staff. we found the menu and food to be good restaurant standard and the wine list is good but perhaps a little overpriced. We ordered, between us, 3 starters, 4 mains, 2 deserts, 1 bottle of wine, and 2 G&Ts and the very reasonable final bill was about £150. It is rare to find a treat like this in a city centre location and the relaxed dining was more reminiscent of a country pub. All our party enjoyed the experience and we look forward to re-visiting. Be sure to book especially at weekends. Central Station is only about 10 minutes easy walk.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. Steak was only lukewarm and needs to be warmer, but I wouldn't let that stop me going again. I can highly recommend this Gastropod.

Our party of 6 adults and a baby were warmly welcomed, and seated where the baby's buggy would not cause any obstruction. One of our party is coeliac, and was supplied with an individual menu offering plenty of choice. None of us had starters, as it was early lunchtime- 12.30, but all our mains were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The desserts were wonderful, the service impeccable, the atmosphere congenial and all very reasonably priced. Would recommend highly.

I was a little disappointed with the prawn cocktail too much salad not enough prawns and sauce also the dish was too small and made it difficult to eat from, however the chicken I had for my main was quite nice . I had been to the Munro before and really enjoyed the food so I recommended it to my friend, she was also disappointed .

Have been to Monro's many times and had a lovely roast, however their Xmas meal was very poor indeed. It appeared processed and undercooked and tasteless. Not worth £50 at all, for a couple. Very disapointed and will not go back after that.

Nice place, nice staff but food was terrible. I have been here in the past and the food was really good, but they must have lost their way because the food was diabolical. The people on the next table sent their food back twice, before the changed their option to Fish and Chips, not much can go wrong with Fish and chips.

We went for Sunday lunch and ordered the 3 course set menu. We have the soup, roast beef and sticky toffee. Al 3 dishes were mediocre. Soup was bland, Beef was very fatty and the portions of meat and veg were small. Pudding was nice but nothing special. Expected more from this place after looking at the reviews and looking at the prices being charged. Atmosphere was nice and I liked the decor but food needs to be improved upon.

There was a bit of a wait before someone came for the drinks order My main was tiny. I think my reaction was 'is that it?'. This was the stone bass. Inch by three inches. There was only a garnish size worth of spinach too. I asked for a side order of mixed veg otherwise I would have been starving - which were lovely. My friend had the turkey dinner. That was stunning and beautifully cooked. The staff made amends by providing free sweets. I would have preferred more dinner though as it was tasty.

Had found this restaurant in the '10 best places for Sunday Roast' in Liverpool. Ambiance was really charming: warm décor, with a roaring log fire, and very friendly welcome. Food itself was a bit of a disappointment: should have asked for a steak knife, had a hard time getting through the rather tough meat, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were on the over-cooked side as well. Shame, would have liked to come back, but if we're going to spend the money, we'd rather do it somewhere where we keep fond memories of the food as well.

We all enjoyed our starter. As for the main meal we were all very disappointed. I ordered steak medium to well done but was raw and luke warm, I sent it back only to find it was cold but served with fresh chips. I complained about the meal and ordered fish and chips. At this stage everyone else had finished their meals of which they were disappointed but did not want to complain. A couple on the next table also told us they were disappointed with their meal. (They also had steak and it was luke warm) I suggest the chief needs lessons on cooking steak. My fish and chips were nice but by the time it came I had gone pass eating. I will not recommend Monro. I was very disappointed as several friends had recommended this place to us. On leaving I did ask one of the staff to get the manager but they never appeared.

Great service, good food as always. Only downside was that the kitchen had run out of two choices, which for a small menu is not ideal. Still overall a great dinner.

The monro is supposed to be a gastro pub but it isn't. It falls far short both on originality and quality. My recent visit was poor buy given the replies from the manager I have down graded it to terrible. Looking at the various customer review sites the manager is always eager to answer but never takes the criticism in a constructive manner. Instead he harps on about how wonderful things are. He has his head in the sand and unless things are going to change this place is doomed.
