Opening in 2003 TLCW quickly established itself as one of Liverpool’s leading restaurants, enjoying rave reviews and critical acclaim. It has 2 AA Rosettes and holds an AA Notable Wine award for its extensive and eclectic wine list. The London Carriage Works brigade, headed by head chef Mike Kenyon, is dedicated to sourcing the very best fresh, seasonal and local ingredients available. The quality and variety of the North West's farm produce, the freshness of the seafood from our fishmongers and the traditions of our chosen cheese makers are all an inspiration to our chefs and restaurant team.

The TLCW bar is a convivial space to kick back and catch up. From Monday to Saturday until midnight (10pm on Sunday) we serve a full range of dishes - including plates to share and we encourage the full use of the drinks menu!

Conveniently located opposite the Livrpool Philharmonic Hall. Stylish dining room with efficient service and good food. Wine by the glass is pricey, but a range of affordable half bottles makes up for that.

We've been coming to place for years now – always make it a ritual on Christmas Eve to visit after going to the Philharmonic Hall to watch It's A Wonderful Life. We got married here back in 2011 so have fond memories of the place. However, in the past few years, we've not left feeling particularly satisfied. This time when we arrived and were taken to our seats, almost 15 mins passed and no one had come to take our drinks order. I had to get up and go and get someones attention. It appeared they were understaffed so were stretched thin, which to be honest is unacceptable especially when we are spending close to £50 per head. Ok, it's not a Michelin star restaurant but you shouldn't expect to ask for anything here. The service did improve as the meal went on and the staff are very friendly, it's just that you expect more and we weren't particularly blown away by the food. It was pretty good but it's been better in years gone by. Overall it just didn't feel like value for money if I'm being honest.

Fabulous restaurant. The only reason I gave it an overall 4 was because there were a number of things on the menu they were unavailable. If we were to go again I would check the menu and pre order.

My partner and I booked for a pre-theatre meal. We arrived early, so had a cocktail in the bar prior to visiting the restaurant. The cocktails were mixed and presented well and cost just under £ 10 each. The bar area has a nice relaxed ambiance, we relished the fact that there wasn't any televisions on every wall with football being thrust in our faces, which obviously meant there were no loud mouthed irritating "supporters" interfering with our enjoyment. The only negative was a man sat at an adjacent table sneezing his germs all over the place without any sight of Hankey usage evident, consequently we have now both contracted colds. When we were ready to eat, the very polite matre de escorted us into the restraunt and asked us to select a preferred table, even advising us to rethink the one chosen as it was in a draughty spot, so this we did. The restaurant isn't huge, which is a bonus as it has a more intimate feel. The table was clean and professionally set out with proper linen napkins. Two menus were offered, a la carte & table dote ( they call it prix fixe ), we chose from the latter. The price for the price Frei was £23.50 a head for 2 courses. There were 4 choices on each choice...starter, main, desert, so not a great choice but there was something we both liked so stayed with it. I say there were 4 choices, but this is not actually true, a one of the choices from each course had a "suppliment" cost attached.... So the " fixed price" menu is inaccurate. Having "suppliments" added to items on a menu marketed as "fixed price" really irritates me, it is either fixed price for all, or it isn't. If a course is not a fixed-price item, by definition, it should not be on a fixed price menu but should be on the a la carte menu. We both chose a main & desert. Both courses & meals were presented well and excellent quality. The staff were attentive & polite. Beware of the implied "tip" sneakily added to the bill, naughty practice.

The meal itself was really nice. However the food I don’t think was that good value for the money. The glasses of water that we had, had bits in the bottom of them which i don’t think was good to set the tone. One of the waiters, was taking the plates and my date was finishing eating his chips that came with his meal and had he took the last one he took the plate straight away without him even finishing eating his food which I don’t think for a top class restaurant is acceptable.
