Best Casual Restaurants in Southport

It was busy which we expected however when we were waiting at the bar for the bartender (who was so sweet) to make our martinis the manager came up and yelled at us for standing in the service area. There was literally no where to go and she was in the process of handing us our drinks. Then when we were seated the waiter spent more time in his Apple Watch then paying attention to our order which came out wrong and before asking us how to correct it made the exact wrong pizza again for us. Overall not a great night at Sally’s which we go to so much the bartender knows our drink order!

What a gem!! Great food and wonderful atmosphere. It was the perfect spot for a bite of lunch. Set a perfect stage for shopping!!

We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The ambiance was natural and magically perfect! The food arrived fairly quickly, fresh and tasty. The staff are all friendly and we didn’t feel pressured to leave. The cafe is situated within a beautiful store setting which works great in my opinion. I purchased nice faux candles in the store section before leaving. I can honestly say we had a wonderful time walking around and looking at all the items and plantings they had available before leaving. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely!!!

This Prix Fixe Christmas lunch was one of the best meals my husband and I have EVER had. The Amuse roast chestnut latte with vanilla foam topping was unbelievably delicious. I will try to replicate it. The raw bar selection was next - so fresh, so delicious, especially the oysters. My husband ordered the ample NY steak, cooked as ordered, enough that we had left over for breakfast today. I had the crusted salmon in a cauliflower risotto. Finally the best English Christmas pudding ever, and I am English. Fruity, moist and the light glacé sauce completed our meal. Truly outstanding service from Oumo and all the staff who were efficient, timely and patient.

Food, ambiance, value were all great. The ONLY deduction in the star rating is that the service was a little “pressing.” It was a Monday, and there were some (but not many) other clients. My colleague and I had a lot on which to catch up … we wanted a leisurely time over drinks to talk. We had to (politely) ask the waiter to allow us the time before ordering food … twice; we did order drinks, however. The food was spectacular … we will most certainly come again.
