Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

Whilst the venue came recommended following Amici days and it looked a pretty place with an interesting menu, on arrival we felt ostracised when the waiting staff announced loudly "Oh - you're the ones on half price aren't you?". This seemed unnecessary when the place had only 6 other diners in on that Friday evening - especially as on booking we had been told if we'd got there after 7.30 we'd not get served. (Only another 4 came in during our stay there.) However food was well presented though fell short from excellent standard. Starters were indeed beautiful but the mains not quite so successful. When I asked could I take my slightly odd tasting steak home (it wasn't to my taste but knew it wouldn't get wasted) the request was met with mild disdain and we left feeling rather unwelcome. Must say the wine was excellent and the presentation good. All a bit of a shame really as we'd really looked forward to going.

Called for tea on the 25/07/08, soup was ok gammon was not cooked , wife ordered scampy but got fish, batter was not cooked fish was slimey & not fresh this week staff left us without knifes & forks had to go looking for them Wife has 38 years cooking in a restaurant so we do when food is not right

One of my favourite restaurants. The food is delicious and the service is faultless. The outside eating area is great for the summer and the gardens around it provide seclusion enough to make you forget you're in St Annes. Really wonderful.

Ate at Twelves in early July based on the recommendations from this site. The food was lovely and the service was also very good. Found the set menu on a Saturday to be reasonably priced at £25, one point to note however is that they say you can mix and match with the main menu. I chose to change my dessert so expected to pay a couple of pounds extra, cant remember exact numbers but approximately worked out we paid £5 more due to the bill being split out followed by a couple of pounds for the more expensive dessert, luckily I didn't decide to change my main otherwise this would have been a lot more. Had I known this I probably wouldn't have bothered as I didn't dislike the desserts just wanted to get a different one from my girlfriend. Other than this the meal was very enjoyable with a reasonable selection approx 4-5 dishes per course. Would recommend and certainly not rule out another visit.

I just want to say a huge thank you to head Waiter Rialdo and Arian for the wonderful company they were Monday 14 July.As always the service was brilliant.A special thank you to the guys at the back for the food which as usual was gorgeous.Great night great company please let Rialdo and Arian know Gail and I have sent off for Britains Got Talent applications for both of them......the unplanned free entertainment was priceless!!!!!!!!

Went to Lorenzos for our friends 60th birthday and wanted to put up balloons so went a bit early than our set time found two of the staff very rude on entering the restaurant and made us feel very uncomfortable. Service wasn't very good but the food made up for that. Not a venue we would choose again to celebrate a colleagues momentous occasion or any occasion but the young tall waiter was wonderful.

I have to say the staff in there are fantastic, and you have to try the specials, mmmmmm yummy

I went in to the steak house on the tuesday night to my amazement they now have a pool team, it was quite busy, the lights were dimmed and there was candles lit in the windows, wot a nice friendly atmosphere it was, we had a steak each me my mum and my daughter , flowers in the windows we really felt comfortable and welcome, wot effort are they gonna make next?

Faultless food, cooked to perfection, thanks Jason and Liz, the food and staff are a credit to you both, will definitely be back.

Superb. Without doubt the very best Italian Restaurant we have been to. Food and Wine excellent. Service 10 out of 10. What a Gem

I always like going here as you can eat and drink and look down on to the streets below in nice surroundings and for a good price. The service can be a bit erratic especially on Saturdays when we have had to wait quite some time to have our order taken, when its busy there's simply not enough staff.

This is a great Indian restaurant. The staff here are really friendly and professional and the service is excellent even when busy. The food is always consistently good and fresh. If you haven't tried this I would really recommend that you give it a try!

Food was OK! Took a while to arrive, but then was wrong. Won't go back!! Disappointed

This place seems to be constantly improving! We came in March and were pretty impressed but now the Dickens is a steakhouse. The food is brilliant as usual and we were glad to see that they have modernised the toilets. A massive improvement and a new wooden floor round the pool table. All in all they seem to be going in the right direction. Paul, the asst manager is like a dynamo, rushing round making sure everyone is happy. (he told us to write that!! and he told us to visit this website!) 10/10

Yorkshire Fisheries is a truly excellent chippie! Best fish & chips i have ever tasted. Don't miss out when you go to Blackpool. On Topping Street, near to Bus Station.

Had a great meal here last night for my friends engagement. I started with the mozzarella wrapped in Parma ham with a fresh pesto sauce, followed by the pig. Both courses were well executed. Especially the crispy crackling. Service was excellent and efficient. Big recommendation.

I went in for a little light lunch with my wife Maureen, it was polite and pleasant service, the Manager or Assistant Manager was walking round checking if everybody was happy and had everything they needed with their meals, it is very rare to see this kind of service nowadays as a lot of places want you in and out of their premises as quick as possible, we were made to feel comfortable and welcome we would be happy to visit you again. Thanks from Jim & Maureen from Bispham

I have been in Margherita several times, the food is perfect and the prices as well. The only thing that i don't like is the service. Waiters don't speak English and the manager isn't a friendly person. Never stops for a chat and the only time you see him is for the order.
