Reviews in Blackpool

Tried San Marcos for the first time this weekend following a recommendation and were really impressed. We will definitely visit again. The food was delicious and the service was attentive, but not 'in your face'. My husband had the lasagna and said it was very good, so the earlier comment about it being 'dire' must have just been a one-off. We had mushrooms and prawn cocktail to start, and I had stroganoff for my main course. Everything was cooked / prepared to a high standard and was really tasty. My only slight criticism was that the sweets were brought in, and I personally like finish an Italian meal with a traditionally made Tiramisu. The one we had was quite nice but just lacked that bit of something. The drinks were reasonably priced. Give this place a try. I doubt you will regret it.!

Would not rush back, it is more like a sort of transport cafe than a restaurant, very disappointing.

I've been to the Gurkha Buffet many times now and its always fantastic. The quality of the food is fantastic and the service os very good. I dont believe any buffet style restaurant in the area can come close to the Gurkha Buffet Restaurant. P.S The Gurkha beer is ace. :)

we visited this Indian on a weekend away in Blackpool on the 27 oct 2007 .we ordered our curries and when they come we was all shocked on the size of the balti dishes they were so tiny and not worth the money. as we are all from Birmingham which has great curry houses and you get good quality portions we all refused to pay for them it was not the price it was just the size so people if hungry do not go what a rip off .they need to make there balti dishes a lot bigger

I've been here before and thought it was great but I went on Saturday evening and they had run out of house fries, coke and Sprite. How can this happen in a restaurant?? And how hard can it be for someone to go and get more supplies in the event of problems with their deliveries, as had happened on this particular day? Also, when our food had been prepared it sat for 5-10 minutes before being brought to our table. Our waiter was held up with something else which is fair enough, but the manager walked by several times and just looked at it. Is it beneath him to help out in busy periods? Oh and then my partner's burger bap disintegrated a few bites in so he had to eat the rest with a knife and fork. Disappointing night and we couldn't be bothered staying for dessert, which is saying something for us!

Great food, my husband said he had the best lasagna ever!! The desserts are delicious too. This is the best Italian restaurant in Blackpool

We have eaten at the Akash twice and found the food and service to be of good quality on both occasions. The staff are very friendly and remembered us on our second visit.

we have just come back from Blackpool this weekend, we went to Harry Ramsdens for an evening meal, a treat for my 78years old mother, we had to stand for 20mins , till someone cleared some tables, no one asked if my mother would like to sit down. I saw waiters giving out food which they had stacked, one on top of the other up his arm, we waited to give our order, then half an hour later, got our food, it was hot and fairly good , but the plates and cutlery, had not been washed properly there was grease on the bottoms of the plates. The standards there need sorting out, we are everyday working people, and not picky , but i was let down by the way things are run there. Please do something before more people are put off.

Recommended by our guest house hosts, this little gem served up a very tasty and authentic pizza, and a quite outstanding pasta arrabiata - so much better than the tinned tomato and chilli powder 'sauce' you are offered elsewhere. Friendly service, and excellent deserts - the tiramisu was particularly impressive. We'll be back!

We had my daughters 30th party last night and the whole evening was enhanced by the wonderful staff at san Marcos. The food,service and atmosphere was excellent. Thankyou Marcos you made our night. Special thanks to Marchin ( hope we spelt your name right). We will certainly be recommending Marcos to out friends

Warmed up chips,stale bread,warm tea.Very disapointed.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary here and we were not disappointed. From the initial booking to receiving the bill, everything was done with class and excellent customer service. We had the Mandarin Banquet which was exquisite. The prawn toast and ribs were the best we have ever had. The crispy aromatic duck was amazing and the sizzling king prawns - well it pained me to leave a couple but we were just too full to finish them. It was a fantastic night and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. It's just a pity we don't live in Blackpool or we would eat here all the time.

Me and my friends decided to eat at this Italian restaurant we wasn't expecting anything spectacular but it turned out to be such a great place. We had to wait about five minutes for a table in the meantime we all had a glass of wine at the bar. We got seated and ordered our meals, I had the chicken in black bean sauce with mouthwatering roasted vegetables at the side. It was absolutely scrumptious. To die for. My friends also had spaghetti bolognese and the other had calleloni I had a nibble at both of theirs and it was a sensational moment. The warm texture ran through my body, my tastebuds tingling like mad for more. I would most certainly go their again on my next visit to Blackpool, which will be soon due to that restaurant. I have never personally tasted anything quite like it. I would definitely recommend you try it, and I'm most sure you will approve it. We didn't have time for dessert as we were going somewhere else but I certainly think the main course made up for it, and the waiters were kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

Eat at restaurant during Conservative party conference. It was a bit of trek from the North Shore but it was worth the trip. Can heartily recommend.

I have been visiting this restaurant for years. It is the best Chinese in the Fylde by far. Thanks Sue, Alan & Mai for making dining such an experience! Lisa 28/09/2007

Yeah this is a cheap burger/kebab shop nothing more

Delicious food, friendly service. We always feel relaxed and comfortable here. No rush,friendly,happy service.Nothing too much trouble. the takeaway is good too.

not as good i thought it would be service was poor the waiters kept putting there heads down so no eye contact was made. we had starters very nice but wanted wine but never got offered any till half way through are main course by then it was to late. I ordered my Cannon of lamb rare and it was well done, drt and very small
