Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

Beautiful decor. Did'nt like younger staff calling me "Luv" it took the ambience away somewhat. Felt chilly, so ladies wear something warm. Food not over hot either and was soon cold with the cool air. However we were very hungry so we rushed and enjoyed. Pashwari naan was huge. We shared and there was still some left but were too full to eat it. A few minor things should be addressed but it has only been open for two weeks and we wish them luck. So much money has been spent on the decor. It will be a shame if a few niggles let it down. All in all.....we will be going again.

If I’m honest, I didn’t know this place was here. I’ve been to the spa before here at Ribby Hall (and very nice it is too) and I knew they had an eatery for the ‘ladies that lunch’ but I had no idea it was a brasserie that opened in the evenings and that it had two AA rosettes. That puts it, in theory, right at the top of the tree when it comes to Fylde restaurants so we gave it a go last night and it did not disappoint. The Spa Hotel is an ‘adults only’ venue and although some of the aforementioned adults were still wafting around the lobby in dressing gowns when we arrived, it’s nice to know that if you’re going out for a decent meal in the evening you don’t have to run the gauntlet of screaming babies and misbehaving kids. The staff were attentive, the decor plush in a beigey way and the food was very, very good. My mother commented it was the best meal she had had in years. I had a lovely celery and apple veloute with black pudding spring roll, Bowland lamb done two ways and the cheese board with a glass of port. Recommended.

Went to the White Tower for a private function last Saturday evening and came away thinking what a shame it is that this place no longer opens as a normal restaurant. It really does have the potential to be one of Blackpool's top, top venues. It's got the glamorous entrance (by lift), the wonderful views (especially at twilight during the Illuminations), the plush decor, well-trained staff and good food. In fact all the elements are pretty much in place - with the investment of a little time and money - to make this a real destination venue. I could see it being brought up to Michelin-star standard which would be great for Blackpool and great for the Pleasure Beach too.

Went with the wife after reading on here about this local restaurant. Also had this place recommended by the wife's parents. The food was verynice, fillet steak was excellent!! A very enjoyable evening, something a bit different. Very warm welcome and friendly staff!!

I can highly recommend this quality cafe!! Try the fish and chips, they really are fantastic!! And, I have never seen such massive eclairs in my life!! They must be seen to be appreciated. Excellent service here also, well worth a visit if in the town.

Very good food large portions, plenty if U share bit pricey but would go again fajitas too die for.

Visited the so called TAVERN@THE MILL in Thornton and realised why it a pub run by a nom food brewery! I tried to order food and was rudely told to wait due yo staff shortages????! Should have paid more attention to bad reviews all over the internet!'! Stick to what you know Joseph Holt!

Great food & service, but do beware of the Sunday offer - £9.95 for 3 courses. Whilst this is true, be careful with their King Prawn con - ANY dish containing King Prawn or King Prawns incurs an extra charge of £2.95! I had a nice (could have been hotter) mixed sizzling dish that contained just the one sorry looking King Prawn & still got charged the above. Are Poppadums always 75p. each, or just on Sunday?

Great food great service looking forward to our next visit.

Loved Thorntons restaurant - cant wait for the new one on Whitegate Drive - However been trying to book but can't get through.

Thought we would try out the new Indian in town as we love Indian food. The new place looks lovely, love the light change, very romantic, staff friendly. As for the food the worst onion bhajis ever, heavy and doughy, the chicken korma was the worst -- the cream was that thick it would not pour off a spoon. Looked like a thick semolina pudding, no hint of coconut. Wife's favourite but not anymore. All the rest of what we had was ok. Very disappointed as we paid over £40 for two starters, two meals and two drinks.

Went to the Chu Phoenix last night for my sons birthday we were given a recommendation. The food I could not fault but the service was not what I call special a bit abrupt was my feeling. And who has the bill checked in front of you Won't go again.

I don't eat fish but I had the most heavenly portion of chips from here yesterday. Perfect Lancashire/Blackpool chips in my opinion.

We use this takeaway/restaurant as our (fairly) regular Friday night tea. It offers very good and tasty Indian food, they can deliver in the nearby area as well. We think the takeaway is one of the best around here and (although they tried to charge us £4 extra once) there doesn't seem to be any rubbish in the curries. Only thing, most people avoid eating in the restaurant as it is usually empty. They have about five staff on, they just tend to hover around the place and you get the impression you are being watched! Such a shame to see the place empty especially as it offers great food, but we will continue ordering from them!

What a wonderful evening. A very intimate, relaxed but buzzy little eaterie, with warm, unobtrusive yet attentive staff. Delicious food of man sized portions (no room for dessert unfortunately, tempting as they were). Excellent value for money. Our first visit but we will certainly return. Highly recommended.

Went to the New Holly for our annual line dancing day out ,there was 47 of us. It was recommended by a friend ,we visited it before our trip and were impressed, so returned as a group and dined. Great food, well presented and brilliant service. We spoke to the most accommodating and friendly gentleman Paul, who was the manager. He listened carefully to our requests and consulted with his chef and staff to come up with 3 mains and desserts to offer our ladies. They were varied and all of them were delicious. We were served in good time, the service was amazing, the staff were helpful and polite, the food was delicious and the whole afternoon was a success. We can highly recommend it, it was wonderful.

I've eaten at some of the finest Indian restaurants in the North West of England over the years of which we have many, I would definitely rate Michaels in the Joint 2nd for quality & cleanliness Though a resounding FIRST place overall for of Value for money, Staff/ management efficiency & friendliness I've visited their takeaway outlet near vicarage lane Blackpool ( CURRYTIME) had fantastic meals there also Lynn an the staff there are second to none I look forward to the New restaurant opening ... Passed by yesterday & it looks very classy :) ( I believe it's 16th Sept 2013 ) CAN'T WAIT Can I book a table for 10 in advance

Best chinese I have ever eaten. Really nice staff as well, Love it x
