Dining, Liverpool

60 Hope St (Restaurant) (20/2/03) Top notch Liverpool dining.

L'Alouette (7/2/03) Once a top restaurant, now a faded jewel.
Becher's Brook (3/8/01) It was good. Then it closed.
The Courtyard (18/8/04) Disappointing city centre experience.
Don Pepe (30/11/00) Quality Spanish experience. Nice tapas.
El Macho (18/1/01) Popular student haunt. Cheap pitchers of beer.
Everyman Bistro (8/8/00) Good lunch and pre-theatre venue.
Fusion (24/6/03) Such good value it closed. Reopened but now a disappointment.

The Newz Brasserie (20/6/02) A pleasing city-centre experience.

Pod (11/10/02) Good tapas-style portions of world cuisines. It works.
Simply Heathcotes (9/8/02) So, so disappointing. But then it is only a chain!
Something Special (20/12/02) Oh my God.
La Tasca (14/3/01) Decent fun-time restaurant - great for rowdy nights out.
