Ego Sefton

A lovely place to visit and have a well deserved dinner. Plenty of choices to eat and drink from. Fantastic staff always there to help with whatever you might need. Complements to the chef for our food, it was absolutely delicious. We will be back.

Awful service. I had chosen Ego for my birthday celebration as I have been before and enjoyed it. This time I was embarrassed that I had brought the family here as the service was so slow. You only get one chance for a special celebration and even though most of the food was lovely it was spoiled by how long we had to wait for it. Despite having pre-ordered our 10 meals we waited 30-40 minutes for the starters to arrive. The same for the mains. There’s clearly an issue with the management of orders in the kitchen, why ask for pre-orders and then not prepare the meals at the time you know they’ll be required? There didn’t seem to be a specific waiter / waitress attending to our table either, when we wanted more drinks someone had to wave at passing staff to get attention. The meals for our two and five year olds were delivered after all the adults had been served their starters and mains after I asked where they were. Judging by how hard the thin chicken escalope was when I tried to cut it I think their meals may have been standing around quite a while, I accept I should have chased the staff for them earlier though. (Assuming I could catch someone’s attention!) All in all a very disappointing experience.

Wonderful location and atmosphere. Starter was great. I enjoyed the main, but the fish seemed a little tasteless. However we had a wonderful evening and will certainly be going on a return visit. The staff provided excellent service and we didn't have to wait very long to get our meal.
