Reviews in Lytham

I cannot express my delight with Novello! The food was the best by far, the service extremely friendly and we all felt so comfortable all night! The whole feeling of the restaurant and staff was warm and inviting. Highly recommend Novello as the food was excellent!! Will be going on a regular basis!!

Been here a number of times - Last time I went thought the standard had become distinctly average- although not much competition in Lytham Zest was freezing no heating whatsoever - and noone had cleared ice at front -it was treacherous. Ordered scrambled eggs on bagel with bacon. Arrived without bacon so dish taken back for first time. No real problem Arrived back - scrambled eggs were solid -they were described on menu as fluffy. Dont know if they were microwaved or bought in mix but they were inedible. Sent back for second time came back shredded and with a raw bagel and the bacon i had sent back but strangely warmer than before. Should have sent back again -couldn't be bothered but worst breakfast I have eaten and I would have preferred to have gone to a greasy spoon but wouldn't have ended up with small change from £20.00 Overall front of house staff were pleasant but the food is getting worse -how anyone could have let the food past that pass defies belief. Zest is in the best location in Lytham and has a captive audience who dont really want that much: but the quality is poor and I wouldnt recommend Zest on this performance -The kitchen needs to do alot better

The food is excellent with a wide variety of dishes of a Mediterranean influence and very reasonably priced. I had the Christmas menu which was extremely good value at £14.95 for 3 courses. The ambience is unique, very continental and relaxed with no pressure to rush which is a nice change!

Dined at Ego last week with 6 friends, waiter very surly, didn't seem to be enjoying us being in Restaurant, food excellent, however dining experience overshadowed by indifferent staff. At approx 10pm, whilst we were waiting for our desserts, the lady from the bar came over and asked us if we 'would like any more drinks' as she would 'like to close the bar. Hardly very encouraging. Then the kitchen staff decided to close the kitchen and drag a bag of rubbish through the restaurant in full view. There was still a couple of other tables of diners as well as us. I was recommended to visit this new eatery, and was attracted to try it by a discount voucher we had been sent, although I won't be recommending it, or visiting again!

Bosco, Lytham. Been here a few times. In an excellent location over looking the square. With an open kitchen and wood burning oven the food is fantastic, atmosphere relaxing, friendly attentive staff and a warm welcome from the owner Mo. The Jazz evenings are a great way to chill out midweek! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Eaten at Red Fort many times, the latest last evening, the service is excellent, the decor pleasant, the atmosphere relaxing, the staff polite and the food delicious! My husband and myself have taken friends and relatives there and would recommend a visit to Red Fort to anyone.

The best restaurant in lytham by far, I went on a Saturday night and had a wonderful evening. The food was delicious, the service was friendly what more can you want. I'm definitely going back there again.

On the contrary, I do not want to recommend Novello to anybody. From the second we walked in, until the second we walked out, it was an altogether unpleasant evening. Perhaps it was the attitude of our fellow diners, or the arrogance of the owner, but we felt many were hostile towards us as we had never dined there before and were obviously not from Lytham. The food was average, the table was tiny and the bill was extortionate. I will never dine there again, and I believe it was only our pride that paid the bill that night for it certainly wasn't the food, the service or the overall experience. Avoid.

I visited the Red Fort on 23rd October and the restaurant was busy. Nonetheless service was speedy but not rushed and the staff were attentive to customer needs. The menu was varied and well explained so that a new customer to the cuisine would be able to make an informed choice. Having had a starter, main course with nan bread and 3 drinks, the total bill was very reasonable. i would certainly take friends and family there for a meal and would recommend Red Fort to anyone.

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.

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.

Lovely food, I had Sur'n'turf pasta, but for £11.50 I got 6 small pieces of steak and 2 king prawns.

What a complete load of rubbish, there is no way this restaurant is in top ten of best chippy's of the UK, more like bottom ten. My family and I were looking forward to a nice fish and chips dinner and what we got was a tiny goldfish and a few gritty chips. Lady who served us had a right gob on her and the vinegar was put on the table after we had nearly finished. Very poor service and yucky overpriced dinners.

I note that you forward complaints to the restaurants and if you would do this with my comment, I would welcome that. Like all the readers comment on your website I would agree with everything that has been said about the food. Everything is delicious: the pizza are lovely and the pasta dishes are truly wonderful. The chilli and king prawn pasta is my favorite. But..................we went last night as a family: two adults and two children (five and eight). We got there at 6.15 and it took exactly an hour for our starters to arrive on the table. I did complain about the length of wait when we paid our bill and the owner explained they had been busy with theatre goers who had to be served quickly. Perhaps someone could have either a) let us know there would be a long wait for food when we arrived b) informed of the delay as we waited c) informed of us the delay as we waited and given us our garlic bread we ordered to try to pacify two small, hungry, impatient children. Not happy: have recommended this restaurant to several people and felt I was given the brush off

I'm sorry to say my family and I (10), celebrating a birthday, on a Monday evening, were not impressed at all with service or food. It was over 80 minutes before our order was taken. Champagne was ordered, but not served till the starters had arrived, not as an aperitif as required. The medium/rare steaks were still breathing and the quality of meat wasn't good. Overall, bad service and poor food spoilt what should have been a lovely evening. We were offered a considerable reduction to the bill but I'm sorry the evening had already been ruined.

Main courses we had were 'Zalzala Chicken' and 'Tropical Birani' - both were fantastic, subtly spiced and full of flavour. We first visited this restaurant in August 2009, and now again on our annual golfing visit to Lytham. A meal at the Red Fort Moghul is an absolute MUST!!!

A group of 8 of us had a great meal!

I would never go again. Rude, arrogant and unhygienic. The food was average I cannot believe the previous reviewer was real. I have read 3 other reviews now and they all concur with mine.
