Reviews in Lytham

I used to go to whelans regularly, however, now I think the quality of food is not so good and the portion sizes have reduced as the prices have increased. The fish is always soggy and flat, its hit or miss with the chips. The service is always friendly though.

This is now my local eatery, excellent service, good food relaxing atmosphere. Went for breakfast for the first time very nice.

We love going to No 88 as they have the best Crispy Duck with pancakes anywhere! And we've eaten all over Europe, so that's saying something! The owners have always given us so much attention that whenever we had visitors to stay, we always took them to our favourite Chinese restaurant! Asha and Mandeep Nanra

We regularly eat at the Red Fort and it continues to be consistently excellent and we are never disappointed. Ahad and his team provide an excellent service and the food takes some beating!

We went in September and were really looking forward to it, there were four of us and we really enjoyed it. I had heard good and bad reports before hand but really i cant fault the place, the service or the food, and im a fussy eater!!!

What a fab place. The restaurant is nicely decorated, staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food is served with no delays. Wine list is very varied and caters for all tastes and is very affordable, even the house wine is really good! The food is outstanding and good size portions, highly recommend to everyone. 10/10

very good food and the service was excellent .

The latest Lytham venture is a success! We went there on Friday and place was full. It had a really warm and welcoming atmosphere that evening. In the day I want to sit in the window seat that looks over the square and down the main drag. Love the ceiling lighting in Bosco, very Big Brother (Orwell not C4). The menu is mainly Italian and I guess the style is Pizza Express. I had a Rustica Pizza which was served on a wooden platter and was excellent. My dining companions also enjoyed their meals. Prices were reasonable and I will go back in the daytime next time!

Not recommended We (6) recently dined at Ego. The food was tasteless, dry, looked unappealing, the waitress very clearly very inexperienced, service woefully slow (we waited at least 20 minutes for our drinks at the table and even then did not get the requested jug of water) and drinks ridiculously over-priced. The total bill came to £184.00, the food comprising only of 5 starters and 6 mains (max price £9.00)!!!!! I was shocked and disappointed (as this was a surprise birthday treat for my partner) and will not recommend on this experience. Sorry.

Top quality ruby house with very attentive service. A good place to eat in peace without the plonkers of lytham larging it about the place.

We ate here last Sunday and felt I had to comment on the excellent food. I had a chicken tikka balti and have to say it was the best I have ever had, and I've eaten a few!! I did feel it was a little on the expensive side though, we had the sunday meal deal costing £9.95 each but by the time we had added naan breads, popadums and drinks etc we spent over £45 for 2 adults and 2 small children. We will definitely eat there again but maybe just get a takeaway in future and eat in on special occasions.

No doubt, Ego Lytham certainly looks fantastic and the staff are excellent. However I was not impressed with the food. Mussels were all closed and had to send them back. Steak asked for a medium, was raw inside. Sent it back. Manager was very pleasant and appeared to be concerned but I'm not sure. They always say if you have one bad meal you should always try again, just incase. But to be honest. I think I'll give it a miss and stick to Portofino in future.

Ate at Ego last night - to be honest it was disappointing - we had been told by others that this was the case but decided to try anyway - the starters were ok but the main courses were overcooked -although we weren't charged for the fishcakes it rather spoiled the evening. We eat out often in Lytham and this is the only time we have been disappointed by the food -It is a great shame as the building, atmosphere & staff were all excellent - just the food wasn't all it should have been - sadly

The restaurant really adds a sense of style to what had been one of the more run down streets in Lytham, lovely exterior and the inside is very stylish. Food ingredients are good quality but the finished dishes are uninspired. Service is excellent but the evening we dined the manager was addressing her "troops" within the restaurant area and we were able to hear perfectly how to "push" the appetizers and the level of competition between the various outlets. Best kept for backstage we felt. An adequate place to dine, but not special enough to trouble other local restaurants.

Best kebabs in the north west by far

Wonderful food in a welcoming environment

8 of us ate at Ego to celebrate one of my girlfriend's birthdays. The restaurant is beatifully decorated both inside and out and the staff are extremely friendly. The bar staff let us taste the wine before choosing which I have not experienced before. The menu was interesting and we had no trouble deciding what to eat. We opted for several sharing boards as starters which were nicely put together and reasonable value for money. Not good value, reasonable value! I had Sea Bass as a main. It was cooked nicely but there wasn't a great deal of it. If you want anything to accompany your meal, you must order it separately. This does bump the price up though! The general consensus of opinion amongst our group of girls was that the food was OK. But no better. It's also expensive. That seems to be the opinion of everyone else I know who has been to Ego, with the exception of a couple of friends who have been there early enough to take advantage of the special offers. Which is a pity because it really is a lovely environment in which to eat. So if you are thinking of going, make sure you book in advance and get there in time to take advantage of the fixed price menus.

I took my family (two children included in the party) to this restaurant on 26th August for a birthday lunch. The surroundings are very pleasant to say the least but I do have to say the food didn't match up to the ambience of the restaurant. Two courses took an hour and forty to deliver. It is obvious that the establishment is too busy delivering it's "Rapido" menu at lunch time and if you are eating A la Carte be prepared for a considerable wait for food that can only be described as mediocre for the prices they charge. My main course was the pork saltimbocca which to be truthful was over cooked and dry, the parma ham surrounding the pork fillet was cremated in parts. The risotto which accompanied the dish was more than al dente. One of the party had boeuf Bourginon which had an overpowering flavour of smoked bacon, this in ifself obliterated the other flavours of the dish. I would have to say in fairness I would to return to try the rapido menu but would certainly spend my money elsewhere if it came to a la carte choices. In summary, mediocre food at high end prices. There are other eateries in Lytham that surpass Ego.
