Reviews The Firepit Southport

"I recently dined at this restaurant, and while the food was quite enjoyable and beautifully presented, the same can't be said for the service. It's unfortunate to note that the service staff, predominantly composed of young and seemingly inexperienced individuals, left much to be desired. From the moment we ordered a 30-pound bottle of wine, which was brought to our table opened from the bar, to the unusual request of receiving the bill before dessert, it was clear that there were some issues. Waiting for dessert took longer than expected, although it was a delightful treat. What truly soured our experience was the handling of change. We were informed, as we were leaving, that they had no change available. While we intended to leave a tip, it should be our choice, especially when a service charge is already included in the bill. I should also mention that when I asked for toothpicks, they were delivered to our table in the waitress's hands and left on an uncleared table. It was a stark reminder of the unsupervised and inexperienced staff who had the potential to ruin an otherwise great dining experience. The restaurant's food quality is commendable, but the issues with service, attention to detail, and inexperienced waitstaff should be addressed promptly to justify the prices they charge. With some improvements in these areas, this place could truly shine."

My favourite restaurant in Southport. Dinning at its finest. If you like steak you won't find a better restaurant. One that's not to be missed. Also fantastic cocktails 🍸. Watch out for the zombie 🧟‍♂️ it will get you were you wanna go exta fast.

Wonderful place. Had a reservation for 06:00PM, we showed up ten minutes early and they immediately showed us tp our table. All staff were very nice and attentive, didn't need to wait long for the food either. The atmosphere was also great, though some people might not like the 80s music playing in the background but I quite liked it. The food is the only complaint I have, as the ribeye steak I got on the stone was still pink on the inside. It was served on the hot stone with the exterior looking great, I took it off the stone not long after only to realize it wasn' through yet. I then kept it on till the stone got to cold to effectively cook it, but it had not gotten much better I am afraid. The meat itself was of high quality, just wasn't cooked through. Now I do kind of blame myself for this as I took it off somewhat soon, and probably kept it off for too long. Though even if I had not done that, I doubt it would have gotten much better. Again, if it was indeed my fault, then I greatly apologize, though I have grilled several steaks before, and I do not think I am too bad at it. Again, had the steak been cooked through more, then this would be a 10/10, but like this I sadly cannot do that. Aside from all that, prices are a bit high, but all the foods were high quality (despite being undercooked) so I think those are mostly fair. My Verdict: 8/10 Good.

Service was a bit slow as was the mains but the startes were quite quick. The wings were to die for but I had the hanging steak which wasn't best and not very well cooked as for the onions. Staff seemed very young and just wanted to hang arnd the food area rather than attending to guests. There was alot of people waiting for food and getting a bit upset. Really a shame as the staff just needed a bit of a steer and direction or that's what I found.

My Son and I had a great 10oz Fillet cooked on a stone slab here.

Fantastic, couldn't rate high enough. Food was Amazing, cocktails even better, staff were exceptional James an Steve were brilliant nothing was too much trouble. Only issue is drinks menu far too big. Highly recommend.
