Reviews in Lytham

Me and my wife visited Henry's last Thursday night for our anniversary and I've got to say, what a night! Firstly the place was packed which was great to see, my friends had recommended us and it certainly didn't disappoint, the food was second to none, the steak i had was the best I'd had in a long time and the seafood casserole my wife chose was fantastic also. The staff were great, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, Couldn't have asked for more! Booked in again for bank holiday Friday and they were already nearly fully booked! Great restaurant and cant wait to return!

Excellent food, service and restaurant.

Went there last night what a great place! The food was fantastic, freshly cooked, not too long to wait and delicious. Definitely best Italian I've had in Lytham/St Annes. My young son had a child's pizza and said it was so tasty could he have another! both were polished off! Simple Italian food at its best.

I went there on a Saturday and the food was no better than average and the service was really inadequate. The woman serving was quite ditsy, just not with it. There is too much choice in Lytham to have this standard.

Best Italian Restaurant in Lytham and St Annes. Great food,fantastic service, my two grandaughters love the Rustica Pizzas. Look forward to our next visit.

I have never enjoyed Chinese food as much as at "88", not only is the food excellent(freshly cooked and always hot) the welcome from billy and his lovely wife syreena is warm and genuine, nothing is too much trouble for them, get billy to tell you his stories of his days in hong kong very entertaining, yes the whole experience of eating at the 88 is delightful you don't feel rushed once you have finished eating, I recommend the king prawn fried rice a favourite of mine. I would not hesitate to recommend the 88 to anyone, I for one am now a regular there, get yourself along there and enjoy.

Porto Beano !! Accommodating and refreshing. The Taps (the neighbouring pub) provides a suitable aperitif. Entering this clinical establishment delivers a medicinal sense of dining safety. Outside of menu the staff deliver. Simple and unpretentious, Italian at its fast food best. Tiggis was missed locally in the 80's but a tiger may have filled the starter lets sea !! Dick Winner

We shared a Rustica Pizza and Seafood pasta and had a salad and greens beans on the side. All were excellent. The owner said they were getting outside seating this week which will be nice if the weather keeps up!

Very nice egg fried rice, very well cooked. The sweet 'n' sour chicken was also very delicious. My friend ordered lamb pancakes. I don't usually like lamb, but this lamb was very tender and delicious with cucumber sticks. Thanks.

We went to Henry's Bar last Saturday with some friends. We'd been meaning to go for a while but never got around to going. Now we wish we'd gone earlier. The place was packed but the staff were very attentive, sat us down without a fuss and took our order once we were ready. The food orders arrived pretty quickly and the staff made sure we didn't sit with an empty glass! Food was lovely and the atmosphere was great. Excellent value for money and we'll be back soon. Highly recommended

15 us had booked to eat at 7.30pm on a Thursday night and the management had advanced notice that one of the party was in a wheelchair. We arrived to find a long table (not ideal but acceptable) set out with 15 chairs - no problem, we simply removed a chair, sat down and waited....and waited....twenty minutes later a drinks order was taken and menus handed to us. I have to say the food was superb apart from one undercooked steak which was rectified without any problem. However the service was very slow. When we ordered we advised the waiter that we wanted to have main course and puddings only - not a problem we were told. The food arrived at 9.00pm - when I mentioned this to the duty manager he disputed that we had waited so long and told me I was wrong and we wouldn't have had to wait so long if we had all ordered starters. I was a little surprised at his comments. In the event none of us ordered puddings (at £5.45 each) as we were all somewhat taken aback by this chap's comments. Suffice to say our next monthly night out (we eat out as a group every month) will not be to Henrys. To conclude - the food was superb, the service rather slow.

The Red Fort is a firm favourite of ours and we have just been for another first class supper. The restaurant has now had a facelift and it looks very appealing and contemporary. We were not looking for a lot to eat but enjoyed a wonderful meal of mushroom puri, salmon tikka, vegetable jayanti, onion rice and one of their to die for garlic naans. Ahad and his team are always hugely attentive and welcoming. The flavours of the various dishes were wonderful, the cooking light and the presentation very attractive. We were even offered a complementary starter - a delicious small stuffed aubergine. I find this restaurant offers fabulous value for money. It provides first class take-aways too. Highly recommended.

Went here on Easter evening with my girlfriend, her father and his wife. I haven't ever been before so was quite looking forward to Lythams new italian offering. I have to say I was slightly disappointed with the experience overall. The waitress who served us seemed a little out of her depth and the menu was quite limited. Only 2 risotto dishes (one mushroom and one verde full of peas), I usually go for risotto when in an Italian but I don't eat mushroom and didn't want the veggie one so I was a bit stuck. There is no steak or fish either! I then had only pasta as my option which I ended up enjoying. The others at my table not so much, there were grumbles of lack of flavour and dryness. I could go on about my starter but I won't. If you're in competition with Portofino round the corner then you are going to have to do a lot better Bosco. Sorry but I'm in no rush to come back, Portofino is better.

Usually you can rely on great food - took friends on Saturday and was very disappointed. They messed up the order - one fillet should have been medium and was rare - the other should have been rare and was medium with a pepper sauce instead of bearnaise. We did tell them and they simply cooked the rare steak a little more and did not make any deduction on the bill. The wrong pizza came and had to be sent back and the lasagna arrived 15 minutes after everything else. Not what we have been used to - hope it was a one off!

Great food and lovely staff......

The food is satisfactory, however my experience was tarnished due to the aggressive and rude nature of the staff. The staff failed to provide the food i ordered, but accepted no responsibility for their own inadequacies. They even continued to be rude as we paid and left- a dreadful experience overall.

Absolutely appalling service and terrible customer service. The staff were incompetent, unprofessional and ill mannered.

This is a great find 10/10 for food, service & live jazz. We went on a Tuesday & glad we booked as the place was full. Pizza & Risotto fantastic.....& the wine.
