Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

It was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Good value for money. The waitresses were really friendly and helpful. We will definitely return. We went early on a Friday evening so there weren't many in the restaurant hence only 3/ 5 for atmosphere.

Had a really lovely lunch at Farina yesterday. Really great food and excellent service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

4 Adults Cost: £190 inc Tip Duration: 2 Hours Service: Good - attentive and pleasant waitress. Food: Poor - Starter x 2 Nacho sharing platters, small portions, cold, little cheese. Mains: Bones sharing platter - smallest half chicken (pigeon sized), dried up, looked like revived from lunch time service, wings were mummified dry as well, beef rib was mainly fat n bone, baby back ribs dried up - small portion of soggy chips, tasteless slaw. Big pan mac n cheese- not so big but very bland. Buffalo Soldier Burger - small mediocre flavour but the chips were good. Puddings: 2 floater liqueur coffees were warm not hot after requesting very hot. Cookie Dough Explosion turned out to be 3 scoops of ice cream on a ‘Morrisons’ type chocolate cookie. Remaining guest had a normal coffee not wanting to spend anymore money based on the quality of previous food. Overall experience: We tipped £20 for the pleasant waitress but in a nutshell, the food was; small portions, poor quality, overpriced and we will never return - no please don’t ask us to - this is the harshest review I have ever given but it was deserved, please don’t bother making excuses or asking for a second chance - the minimal amount of other customers that were present is an indication of your efforts.

Excellent food and service as always

Food lovely,, but we felt rushed chatting but as soon as you had picked up reached across and removed the plate. The room felt quite cold which is not a nice ambience We have had afternoon tea quite often, but will give it a miss for a while

Fantastic food and service!

Had a lovely meal with my family at the Smokehouse. Food was delicious and didn't wait long for it to be served. All the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely be going back.

I booked Afternoon Tea for my Dads birthday it was the only thing he asked for! We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious the bread so fresh the scones a treat and the cakes and desserts a delight. The service was exceptional nothing too much trouble. It’s such a treat to be able to eat in the Hall its self.

Visited Friday teatime. Service was prompt and efficient, food well cooked and very tasty. They were flexible and substituted peppercorn sauce for gravy. The fruit crumble is tasty and large portion. No hesitation recommending based on this experience.

We have been to Burak several times and we cannot fault the food, staff and service at all. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is phenomenal and they always make any occasion extra special. We have been with up to 22 people at a time and they have never once let us down! Thank you!!

We arrived at 19.00 for our 19.30 booking and was met by a lovely bar tender he was really friendly and welcoming. We where shown to our table and looked after amazingly by lovely staff, the food was amazing and service was fantastic.. To sum up it will not be long before we visit again!! Totally 5 stars from us.. Thank you Henry's smoke house

Excellent restaurant, Menu brilliant, plenty of choice which was fully explained by the lovely polite staff as it was our first visit. All the food taste delicious, plenty of flavour. Would definitely recommend a visit and we will be back.

We will unlikely be returning. We came to Henry’s for my son’s birthday tea. We used the online booking system - no drama there. On arrival of our 18:30 booking, we noted that the bar area was deserted and nobody was at the bar. We made our way to the restaurant and found someone who booked us in and said they just needed to reset the table - also no drama. It was a little concerning that on a Saturday evening it was VERY quiet. Our drinks order was taken shortly followed by our food order. The drinks arrived quickly. Followed by the food (probably within 30 minutes). Child 1 ordered a medium rare steak kids meal (cooked perfectly might I add) and child 2 ordered the chicken tenders. I have to say that I thought these were great value for money and also come with a drink. Both children were happy with their food. I ordered the ultimate beef brisket that came with Cajun fries, slaw, cob, and Alabama pickles. The brisket was fine, it was nice but not incredible - my husband commented that the brisket I made the week before was better but I was happy with it regardless. The fries are not fries, they were weird shaped chips. These were fine too although, not fries. The slaw had a weird fishy taste that I noticed and so did my husband and the Alabama pickles were just a slice of cucumber in vinegar. My husband had the beef rib. It looks incredible but both my husband and the boys described it as flavourless and chewy. My husband was also really looking forward to the Cajun spiced potato tots. What he got was potato scallops. He challenged the staff member who said that’s how we do tots but it doesn’t negate the fact that what they have provided was not what is advertised. They did agree to bring him some fries that aren’t really fries though. For 2 adult meals, 2 kids meals, 1 premium cocktail, 1 premium lager, 1 coke and 1 j20, it was £85. The price was reasonable and slightly less than we expected but we would rather go to the competitor in future. I just think food should be described as what it is. The service was fine too. I wouldn’t say it was outstanding and nobody went above and beyond but it was quick and friendly. Overall, we’ve had a better experience elsewhere but I was definitely rooting for Henry’s to be our place to go. I love smoked meats and the whole Texan experience but unfortunately it just didn’t match the experience we had at the competitor. We appreciate you regardless!

Food atmosphere and service excellent. We will see you again soon

Visited Lytham Hall with Friends and thoroughly enjoyed our Afternoon Tea with a glass of Champagne. The food was freshly prepared,very tasty and served very attractively on the tiered plates. The portions were generous but we did mange to eat everything offered! The staff were very attentive giving excellent service We will certainly visit again and thought the whole experience was excellent.

The food was excellent and the staff looked after us very well.

Thank you so much for our lovely afternoon tea, it was absolutely delicious. Anna & Charlotte were very helpful and a delight to chat with. We would definitely recommend Lilibets Emporium at Lytham Hall.

My husband and I had the silver afternoon tea and it was excellent . More coffee and tea was available on requstThe ladies who served us were very pleasant, the food was of good standard and of course the surroundings are beautiful.
