    We were a group of 7 mostly family. All adults. We had an amazing food and wine experience. The beef Wellington and lobster risotto were delicious. Our server was so knowledgeable about the food and wine - and incredibly helpful. Our only disappointment was that we had arrived hoping to share the t bone steak and fish but the steak was not available - the recommendation from our server for the beef Wellington and risotto definitely exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend!

    We had the tasting menu, one of the services was good the rest was outstanding. So much flavour and the wine pairing was really on point. In terms of service it was one of the best experience I have had. Both the waiter and the somelier were really knowledgeable about what they were serving and very hospitable. It's was quite expensive but I feel like we got our money's worth.

    Delicious dinner at Liverpool House last night. We ended up sitting at a table, not at the bar. Taylor, our waiter was phenomenal. Attentive, friendly and gave great advice on the menu and drink selection . The cod was perfectly done, very tasty. The bavette and fries also tasted amazing. The salad with green apple and cheese had a great taste, we want the recipe!! The dessert with a cheesecake topping and squash was perfect. All the other staff were very friendly and attentive, which created for a wonderful atmosphere.

    The restaurant was good and cozy. Service was excellent and the food was very good. We ordered hanger steak and salmon steak. Salmon steak was excellent but part of hanger steak was a bit overdone. Overall I would recommend it to my friends who are visiting Montreal
