I recently spent the night in Liverpool at @double so popped down into the Turkish restaurant next door for a bite to eat
Food/drink⭐️⭐️⭐️
Firstly let's start with the cocktails, we ordered both on and off the menu and all the cocktails were prepared perfectly. The whiskey sours was gorgeous but I had to laugh that it took them 3 attempts to separate an egg white from the yolk!
The food was good but not amazing to be honest. We had the mixed mezze and calamari to start and I just felt the calamari was a bit dull and lacking flavour whilst the mezze was presented nicely the Hummus was a bit too tangy and the pitta dry AF, like I know it's bread but this was borderline stale.
When mains came and my chicken skewers arrived I have to say I was excited to dive in. I asked for a bit of ketchup for the chips and recieved approximately 10ml in a small bowl, after a few minutes I asked for a little more ketchup and was presented a tatty looking plastic bottle of sauce.... classy!
Both the starters and mains were perfectly fine and I wouldn't say I was unhappy with either but I kind of expected something better.
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The staff were super friendly all evening and were always happy to help without being constantly present watching us eat.
Overall⭐️⭐️⭐️(⭐️)
I am giving this 3.5 stars. There is some finessing needed around some of the food but ultimately this was a really nice meal with some well prepared cocktails. Not bad for a restaurant linked to the hotel.
