"Fantastic evening meal tonight, delicious food and attentive service. Haven't been for a long while, as good as I remembered, we definitely need to go again. Highly recommended."
Austin Hayes
"We came here over the weekend; it was a lovely sunny evening, so we sat outside overlooking the marina and watched the sunset. There are heaters available outside, but we weren’t any on our table and the waiter provided us with blankets instead which came in handy once the Sun started to set. It’s a beautiful little restaurant, in a lovely spot and this is what attracted us. The staff were lovely and attentive too. The food however, we found to be quite overpriced and quite bland. I think the prices somewhat reflect the setting, but we didn’t enjoy the food and sadly would not return."
Sarah Hayes
"Trattoria 51 is a great place to have lunch. We ordered pizza and salad and we were not disappointed. The pizza was delicious and the salad was fresh. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is very clean. We would definitely recommend Trattoria 51 to anyone looking for a great place to eat. We particularly liked that they brought the kid’s food first."

And that’s before you even mention The Swan, surely up there with the best chippies on Merseyside.
