Amazing food, great staff and relaxing atmosphere. The pictures of the plates honestly don't do this restaurant justice! If you decide to visit The Tapas Kitchen for a meal I'd definitely recommend booking in advance, it always seems to be busy and we've been turned away a number of times when attempting to walk in as they've been fully booked!

625 West Kirby
I've not yet had the pleasure of eating at 625, however the reviews indicate their food is a must try! (The food photo's have been borrowed from others reviews until I'm able to try for myself)
I have however visited for drinks a number of times and have always enjoyed myself, the staff are friendly and there's a lovely ambience.
Booking is recommended to guarantee a table!

Walks
Hilbre Islands are three beautiful islands at the mouth of the Dee Estuary, they’re completely cut off from the mainland at high tide but can be walked to at low tide. The walk is approx. 2 miles each way and starts at the West Kirby Marine Lake, you must only walk out from this point and follow the recommended path as there are some areas of sinking sand around the area. It’s also important to check the tide times prior to setting off as the tie comes in quickly, it’s recommended to ensure you leave the islands at least 3 hours before high tide, or longer if a member of the party walks slowly or you enjoy a leisurely stroll. The furthest island is home to the Old Lifeboat Station, that was used before our own Old Lifeboat Station.
