Nina Restaurant And Tapas Bar

A week prior to this posting, my friend and I popped in for lunch at Nina's Restaurant & Bar. I personally share the same cultural heritage as Chef Irina. So it was a no brainer to order Borstch (savoury beetroot soup, w/sour cream). My late mother would have been impressed ! Congratulations Irina & Peter in creating a beautiful atmosphere at Nina's Restaurant & Bar. Your service is warm hearted and professional. It is evident your passion is and will continue to influence your cuisine and customer service. My friend and I came back a week later to sample the evening menu and we were battling with which dish to choose. There were so many delightful offerings on the menu. A conversasion with Chef Irina about our dilemma "We feel like seafood, but can't decide", led to ... "Surprise Us!' Our taste buds were not only suprised but impressed with flavour combinations. ..Tasting board - Beautifully presented and lots of lovely things to try. Rather partial to the terrine and cheese flavours. ..Crispy spiced chicken - mmm-mmm-mmmm. Thank you for this complimentary preview entree tasting. ..Tiger prawns / Vietnamese salad - Wonderful combination. Soooo look forward to ordering this dish again! ..Teriyaki Salmon / Noodles - What a delightful sweet yet savoury asian influenced dish. Salmon cooked to perfection. ..Chocolate salami with 'real chocolate' hot sauce & orange ice cream. WOW ! One of my personal bench marks for any eatery is their coffee. One word: DIVINE ! Look after that sexy husband Irina..... If only I was a couple of decades younger and single :D

Fantastic! Great home made food (try the lamb stew it was delicious) with tapas dishes or conventional main meals. We went a collection of tapas dishes and main meals and was not disappointed, they were all amazing. The service is top notch as well and really sets the place apart with fast efficient and friendly service. If you still have space at the end of the night then definitely try the dessert, can recommend the chocolate and stout cake!

A beautiful restaurant with stunning food. Great for groups. Friendly staff. Locally sourced seafood. I highly recommend eating here when/if you get a chance. Everything was perfect.

Excellent service and the oysters and wine I had were both very good quality, lease 65 oysters fat and juicy and very fresh, Priory ridge Sauvignon blanc went perfectly with it.

A fantastic meal with six star service. I had the fish of the day (Trevalla) and it was fantastic. They were so accommodating with our seven Month old baby despite us making quite a mess and a bit of noise. The owner was extremely charming and made our night memorable. We don't get away much at the moment so it means a lot to have a lovely night out. Make this restaurant a must visit if you are in St Helens.
