Scousey food
Meeting someone in Scouseland for a day and looking for somewhere nice to eat...
we're starting off around the docks but willing to move about a little but maybe not too far.. but I guess the Docks are pretty central-ish.
any recommendation? a sucker for aesthetics, nice surroundings would be a plus too ;0) but the food's by far the top of the priority list.
Just asking cos I know if someone came to Manchester they'd never find the best eateries.. Hoping there might be similar gems tucked away in Liverpool

Rule #1: Don't bother with any of the Albert Dock places, all rubbish/overpriced.
Best area for restaurants on that side of town is between Pier Head and Castle St. Here's a selection, off the top of my head...
Sakura, Exchange Flags behind the Town Hall - Japanese/Tepanyaki, only opened a month ago, very good food but very expensive, and very WAGy at weekends (it's also a cocktail bar).
Piccolino, Cook St - prob the best Italian food in town.
Noble House, Brunswick St - new, haven't eaten there yet but heard good things.
Blakes, Hard Days Night hotel, North John St - really top notch food. Possibly THE best restaurant around here.
San Carlo, Castle St - horrific 'aspirational' crowd spoiled it for me (a friday night) but pretty good Italian food in different surroundings. Probably ace if it's not busy.
Merchants, Castle St - inside an old bank, huge ceilings etc., good enough food.
Matou, upstairs Mersey Ferry Terminal, Pier Head - decent 'pan asian' food with a cracking view over the river.
There's another cluster of good restaurants around Hope St but that a bit of a walk from down there...
Failing that Jamie Oliver has open a place in Liverpool One and there was a queue of 100+ waiting outside last Friday!! However there's no way he's getting any of my money so your guess is as good as mine.

You Northern people are so funny.
I would expect to spend £25 on just a bottle of wine and you got food and wine.
Sesh.
