Reviews in Lytham

having just picked up my partner's new car on saturday 17th sept we were looking around for a place to eat and passed this place on our wanderings. The decor was very modern and welcoming as were the staff, particularly the landlord and his partner. Having become accustomed to expecting very average but ok food from many pubs, I was delighted to find the sirloin steak dinner I ordered was cooked to perfection and more than worth the £7 or so it cost. A good thick piece of meat that had been cooked correctly and just melted in the mouth... even the small rump steak my partner went for as part of her turf-surf-turf platter was tender and cooked exactly as it should. We finished with what can only be described as a glass 'bucket' of hot brownie and ice cream and raspberries, topped with whipped cream, various cadbury bits and bobs and a curley-wurley... it beat the two of us and could probably serve four after the main course portions, hahaha - lovely place for a cheap lunch and friendly atmosphere... give it a try ;~)

Had a smashing lunch here on Saturday. Chicken and bacon pie for me and my husband had a fish platter. Excellent food and friendly service. Would like to have a look at the menu before going to the cafe. Why is there not more information on here?

Ate with a friend at Henrys on Tuesday evening after hearing good things about the place. I went with the specials which was a Crab Croquette starter that was ok. The main was Gnocchi with Butternut Squash and was so sickly it was inedible. My friend had the pie which was average. The wine we picked was switched for something else and wasn't the best in the world. Shame as the staff were excellent.

food was really nice first time and i'm even coming back on 20th for my hen night thanks for the lovely food will defo be tell friend and family thanks laura

3 Visits - 3 very enjoyable meals - 3 times excellent, pleasant service

Best restaurant in Lytham, never mind the Hastings or Portofino. This is the place you want. it's about dishes that blow you away with taste and texture, which you can never usually match with British or Italian unfortunately. You might want to go out for a meal of good quality food, but why not try ... spectacular? This should be your prime preference for a meal out. No joke, my claims are genuine. You'll soon find a dish to fall in love with. I know I have, on erm, rather too many occasions... :)

My family have been visiting the Red Fort ever since it opened over 10 years ago, and we still continue to enjoy the fantastic food and service there regularly. Thankfully we live within walking distance of the restaurant, but it remains a place that you should definitely make an effort to visit, for a great meal. On the menu that offers a wide selection of good dishes, you'll easily find a favourite, whether it be a classic curry, or a signature dish you may never have tasted before. They also cater well for vegetarians, as even my strict vegetarian brother loves his meal. The staff are friendly and helpful, adding outstanding service, to the already solid foundation of gorgeous food. We'll never really enjoy any restaurant quite as much, as this special place.

AVOID!!!! obviously under new ownership now, atrocious food and customer service

Had a lovely lunch in Zest the other day. Although this was spoilt when we got the bill and was informed quite rudely by the waitress that there is no 10% discount for Sugarvine readers. (despite the Sugarvine website quite clearly stating that there is a 10% discount of the total bill at both Portofino and Zest.) Will make me think twice about both dining in Zest and using the Sugarvine offers section again.

This is one of the best restaurants in Lytham.Whilst it was extremely busy this did not jeopardise the service and quality of the food.The food was first class which reflected the popularity of the venue.We do not live locally so visits are not as frequent as we would like.This place would stand proudly next to any renowned major city restaurant. Keep up the good work-hope to re visit in a few weeks.

lovely meal

Great service great and mojitos! This is the best combination of great food bites tapas and a menu of cocktails all made expertly by the bar staff here. Other venues could learn from them about how to make cocktails! Keep up the good work.

Rude owners, overpriced. The customer is always wrong attitude & don't appear to enjoy what they do. Uncomfortable atmosphere.

From the moment that you enter the restaurant the friendliness and hospitality of the staff is very refreshing. We have been attendees at the Red Fort for the last 3 years and being people that love an authentic Indian meal we can't praise the food enough. We have both tried the majority of dishes on the menu and we cannot say that we have experienced a sub-standard meal. The spices and flavours of the meals make the Red Fort special in our opinion. Add to this great service from friendly staff, in a comfortable surrounding, and it makes a perfect recipe for a night out. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I have been visiting this authentic Indian restaurant for many many years now, and i am, as my wife and family are more than happy with its outstanding level of professionalism and dedicated service to us. I find the food to be outstanding, and am more than happy in this current climate with its competitive prices. All in all a great restaurant.

The customer service in is this Cafe by the "Mature" manageress/owner is dreadful, she rude and obnoxious. I would not recommend visiting this cafe. Urbanspoon reviews also state the same all of them stating the same manageress

Brilliant beer with fantastic choice. Good wine too. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. Relaxed atmosphere.

We have visited the Red Fort on a regular basis for several years now and have always been impressed with both the welcoming, friendly service and the excellent quality of the food. We have now got a two year old and have been taking him with us to the restaurant early evening on Sundays since he was tiny. The team at Red Fort have been amazing with him since we started taking him there and are still as welcoming as ever. The special deals are incredible value and portions are both high quality and plentiful, despite being really good value. Highly recommended for all including families.
