Alouette, New York

...This is highly recomended in Liverpool restaurant guides several claim this is the best restaurant in Liverpool however we found the one in Lark Lane disappointing! We went for a romnatic meal and spent a total of £25 on a round trip taxi fare so we accordingly had high expectations of the place.
