    I had a great welcoming, a perfect table, excellent service, love the menu, the caviar and beef Wellington are delicious. I had an amazing dining experience once again and I will go back. I would only enjoy having valet service, specially in winter, it’s so convenient and would be part of this premium experience.

    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
