Reviews in Burnley

Been here quite a few time and never disappointed. Food is superb and the staff are always very friendly. Would highly recommend

Booked a table for 7.15pm waiting on staff took us to a table for 3 when we had booked for 4 people, told to go to bar and order drinks (bar staff looked confused why we was stood at the bar) Bar staff very friendly and professional though. We were seated at a table, middle of the room, very cold no heating. Waited around 15 mins and no one took our order, had to attract waiting on staff attention. Food arrived. All hot and tasty, wrong fries given and changed promptly. Overall the quality of Ellis’s food is just as good as it’s origin on Standish St. just need to sharpen the eating in experience and service.

Not great. We’re seated next to a freezing cold stairwell with a cold aircon fan blowing on our table. Service not good and food overpriced and average tasting. Not worth the hype.

We decided to have our office Christmas lunch here as a break from the traditional offerings and go for Tapas. I'll get the one big negative out of the way first, and then move on to the positives. We were the first set of customers, and the restaurant was freezing cold, but we assumed it was just because they had only just opened and it was a snowy day. We assumed it would warm up. It didn't and the majority of the table kept our coats on for the entire time. Even the person serving us had a scarf on! However, the food was lovely, with lots of variety and as there were 7 of us, we got an array of different dishes. There were no pizzas or garlic bread available as the supplier order was later, but later on, when it arrived we received two complimentary garlic bread for the table, which was very kind! Good vegetarian and vegan options, generous portion sizes and a tasty selection of dishes. One of our party says: 'The best food I've had this year.'

Brilliant food and cocktails great service. Really relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Loved it.

The ‘offer ‘ is 3 dishes for £19.95. We were a party of 3. We placed our orders and waited about 15 mins. I was served 5 pieces of thin cut calamari- nothing else came for another 10mins. I ordered chicken ‘thighs’ I received one tiny thigh on a thimble of red pepper sauce, but no bechamel or walnuts?. This dish is listed at £10.95! My friend also received one of her dishes one small small skewer (£12.95). The waiter then came and explained he forgot to place the order for the pizzas. Another long wait I had a sliver of sea bass and two broccoli stems. I had obviously finished as my friends then had their pizza. Overall a very restrictive menu, more focussed on trying to get people to go down the quick pizza route. Portion sizes are a disgrace - this is not a tapas it’s just a complete rip off.

1st time visiting and we with definitely be back. Food was fresh, well cooked, quick to the table , staff very attentive and service was exallent

Superb. First time visiting and it won’t be the last.

Once again the Astoria did not disappoint. Fantastic food and the staff excellent as always.

The food is superb and reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Thoroughly enjoyed my night as did everyone in our party. Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent meal on a quiet Sunday afternoon

Excellent food, with excellent service at an unbelievable price. Will defo be back for more!

Great food, nice atmosphere

I pre booked a table online but waited for half an hour to be seated as the waiter informed us they had too many walk ins. After being seated our order was not taken for 45 minutes. The food was delicious when it arrived but we had to cancel a dish each due to time. The service was terrible. I have dined here many times before and the service has been excellent. If walk ins take priority then the online booking system should be turned off.

Great food, excellent service from the lovely staff and a very welcoming atmosphere.

We had a table for four booked on the 3 for 19.95 deal, the food was amazing. The service from the staff was second to none. They had a good laugh with our table made us feel more than welcome, even made sure our pregnant guest wasn't left out buy making the nicest of mocktails. Will be returning.
