Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

A large group of us went here for my nephew’s 18th and I must say I was impressed. I hadn’t been to The Grand since a wedding some years back and things have changed a great deal. There’s a lovely terrace now out front which is ideal for drinks when the sun is shining (which it was). The staff were very friendly and attentive, especially the young female European maitre d’. The interior has a real modern vibe, good lighting and chill-out tunes. If you’ve been to Pulcinella in Cleveleys it’s kind of similar in terms of the upmarket, metro-style ambience. A good menu choice too with sharing plates. All in all, a breath of fresh air for the local dining scene.

Had lunch at the station at the weekend and enjoyed what has to be the best steak and ale pie I have ever tasted in a pub. Plenty of lean and tender beef with just the right amount of pastry and triple-cooked chips. I'm surprised there weren't more people eating there to be honest because it's the best pub food in Lytham. My missus had gammon which could have benefited from some peas as she resorted to trying to steal mine. Will keep returning till I've got through the menu.

I don't Agree with all your other reviewers I have had a bad meal at this restaurant and wont be going again. You should be fair and show all reviews good or bad and you so obviously only print good ones. This does not give a fair picture I have friends who have also had bad meals there so it was not just a one off. Give the wider picture.

The service is spot on and highly recommended the food, I have never had a bad word about this fishery, also has a warming atmosphere, A++

I tried this chipshop once and I will never go back there chips taste and look like microwave chips, also the attitude of the staff is very distasteful and in welcome like, also if there fish was any more oily they would have to be shut down by the food healthy and safety regulations. I recommend no one to go there

I went to the Zen restaurant last night with my sister, mum and two young nieces. The food was lovely - we had the Chinese banquet, and while the fare was similar to that served in many chinese restaurants, it was presented in a contemporary way which raised it above the ordinary, and all of the food seemed to be freshly cooked and made from quality ingredients. The other thing which raised the meal out of the ordinary was the service. The waiter, Ernest, (not a common Chinese name - I think he was actually Italian!) could not have been more charming, and he made my nieces feel totally at ease, and returned to our table several times just to check that they were enjoying themselves. The decor is very chic, the prices were reasonable, and I would not hesitate to visit again on my next visit to the Blackpool area.

Had a wonderful meal here last week. Good service, food and wine. The best place to eat in that area.

Went here on a monday evening, Had the early bird menu which has a lovely choice & value for money. Was very impressed with the food/service. Just what blackpool needed a nice new restaurant with great food.

Having just got back from a grown up lads weekend in Blackpool i have to say what a fantastic meal i had with my friends last Friday. The recommendation to go to China Red away from the main drag of Blackpool was spot on. Generous portions,charming service and great atmosphere. Anyone on an away trip in the Blackpool area should put this on your list of must go there. Terry from essex.

We've had two wonderful meals since the restaurant opened and going again tonight! Decor's great, prices realistic and food mouthwatering. Best steak I've had for a very long time!

Worst fish and chip place I have ever been to. I was expecting great things but I came away thoroughly disappointed. There were so few staff in the restaurant that service was taking forever, and people were loudly complaining. So we decided on a takeaway instead. Sorry to say that we didn't actually get as far as tasting the food because after 20 minutes of watching the staff standing around bitching to one another they still hadn't served up the fish and chips I'd ordered. The staff were rude to each other and the customers. But worse, the place was filthy. Surfaces weren't being wiped down, the staff didn't have hairnets or caps on, and at one point the fryer carried a vat of hot oil right past other staff in an incredibly dangerous and unhygienic way. I haven't been so disappointed in a restaurant in a long time. Feel really let down.

Hi all, I recently went to Portofinos in Lytham for a meal with my family, we had a great time, lovely atmosphere, fantastic fresh food and good attentive service. We will definitely return and recommend it to others in the meantime.

The Moghul is our local curry house and how lucky are we! The service is always excellent-very attentive staff. The food is amazing! My favourite dish is chicken keema lazeez which they don't even have on the menu, but make it for me anyway! The sample dish they give you is a great idea and I have discovered many tasty dishes through trying these. I simply will not eat curry from any other Indian restaurant in the area.

What a super find for great fish and chips at yesterday’s prices, it was just £6.00 to eat in their cafe for fish, chips and peas, also bread and butter and a mug of tea. I have to say it’s the best chippy I have been to in a long time.

Well run, with friendly service, excellent food and reasonable prices. Hard to fault.

i fully enjoy this wah wah's exceptional food x

We were visiting Blackpool 17 October 2010 and found this restaurant by accident. We were in a rush but this was no problem and the food was served quickly and with style. It was very good and excellent value. We are only sorry we do not live in the area so we could visit again in a more relaxed way.

Fabulous meal on the night of 19th October. The starter: Piatto per Due (sharing platter for 2) was superb, mains cooked to perfection and we even had desserts, which were to die for. Very attentive service and lovely decor. We will be back and certainly recommend you, thank you.
