Reviews in Southport

I met the head chef two weeks ago in a super bar called The Inn Beer shop. Thus Norma and I visited Lings last week. Our meal was superb. So much so we re-visited last night( Monday). Once again the food was of a very high standard. The restaurant is immaculate and I liked the ' ambience' very much. Lings will be a regular ' eating place for us from now onwards. We chatted to Ling ( owner) and she is a lovely person. We share a love of cats. Do visit Lings the food will not disappoint you. John

.We were very kindly given a Groupon voucher by our Son and Daughter in law for a 5 course taster menu at The Dining Rooms. What a delightful evening, we cannot praise this establishment highly enough. The restaurant, the staff the ambience and the food were fantastic and to top it all there was a guy playing guitar and singing which really added to the atmosphere. We really enjoyed the night and our sincere compliments to the Chef who offers such delightful food. We could not be critical in any way - it was a wonderful experience and we shall certainly be returning VERY SOON. Thank you.

Nice friendly pub Very good quality beer, meals reasonable and plentiful Well recomendes Only problem was light in disabled toilet and a bone in my sons chicken burger Despite this will definitely go again

This is the best Indian restaurant we have been to in a very long time. The food was excellent and the service top class and extremely friendly.The only downside side is that we live too far away to visit very often!Thank you

don't go there awful service and very rude staff

great food,great service...and the art on the wall ain't too bad either...

We have been visiting this restaurant regularly since it opened at the beginning of the year. The food is simply beyond compare - it is fresh, it is healthy, it is delicious, it varies every time we visit, it includes many different cuisines and it is prepared to the highest quality. I imagine this would be a vegetarian's heaven also as the salads and vegetable dishes are superb as well. The staff (from the chefs to the waiters to the owner, Ben) are all extremely polite and helpful and welcoming. You must visit this restaurant - you are denying your taste buds the time of their life if you don't!!

April 2013. Just visited with my family, food was disgusting, greasy, cold, the rice was under cooked and hard, the vermicelli was cold and under cooked, greasy prawn toast (if you can call it this, as it just tasted of bread soaked in oil. Yuk ) Meat for duck pancakes is pork !!!!! shredded in tiny dust like pieces. desserts were bad, cubes of jelly, ice cream (already in bowls) in freezer, marshmallows cut in half, mashed gateaux, tinned fruit !!!! the only fresh fruit on offer was grapes. Price was cheap, so I suppose you get what you pay for and it is true for this eating place Sorry doesn't deserve to be called a restaurant), we are appalled that food in this place is allowed to be served. We will not ever go here or recommend ever, should you decide to eat Chinese food please consider going to any other place but here. This view is of our opinion.

the real china was brilliant, tasty food, really nice staff and a beautiful place to eat with amazing water features to look at, it felt relaxing and welcoming and beats ocean world hands down, would highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food and really good prices, there lunch buffet all you can eat at only £5.95 is great value and its budget price is great considering how nice the food is, i went with my two children and found it spacious and also nice and quiet for the children

Had heard good reviews and brother decided to book for 6 of us last Sat evening. Being within an easy walk from the station was an added bonus for my Mum. Terrific immediate ambience when we arrived. Great attentive staff and wonderful food. Great menu - I think that restaurants that have extensive menus fall foul of trying to present too much. This menu offered something for all and made selection relatively easy. All of us chose excellent starters and mains. We'll certainly be back, next time with the wife - I'm sure she'll be as equally appreciative as we all were! Mark 5Mar12

My wife and I visited Forge Brasserie today 02/03/2012 to celebrate my wife's birthday and our anniversary. We have been to this restaurant before and were not disappointed. Tara who served us was charming, there when we needed her and invisible when we didn't. The food was excellent as it was on our last visit.

I recently stayed in Southport for three nights and went to Lings on Kings. The food and service was fantastic and I mean fantastic! The spare ribs were the best I have ever had; I just wish the Chinese restaurant where we live was as good. We had a good selection of food and there was not one dish which was not liked. I would recommend the crispy chicken Peking style which was sensational and to finish off with, try the sticky toffee bananas - wow! Having gone on our first night staying in Southport, we decided to go back on the third and last night and we were not disappointed. I could not recommend enough. Adam J, Scotland

We are recent visitors to Le Boulevard and are very impressed with the standard of food and service. There is a good choice of dishes at reasonable prices. The cooks and serving staff are very friendly and helpful. We would gladly recommend Le Boulevard and look forward to going back soon ourselves.

Fab place to grab a bite! Lovely owners friendly waitress' fresh food every day with a specials menu that's different each time I've visited! Will return again and again. i particularly love the jackets, fishcakes and their milkshakes are a must!!

This restaurant is AWFUL, THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD. STAY AWAY. I went on a Saturday night with 6 other people. We decided on the all you could eat menu. The waiter was the rudest man on the planet. Even tho we were all paying £13 each for our meal, we were only allowed to order 4 starters for 6 people, even if there were 10 people you would only be allowed to order 4 starters on the first round of ordering. When we explained that we had one veggie and one person didn't like what the other 4 had ordered, we were told we had to share the 4 and he didn't see what the problem was and began huffing and puffing as if we were being unreasonable. He couldn't care less that the problem was that 2 people had to sit there with nothing to eat and wait for everyone else to finish (which took over an hour) before they could order what they wanted in the second round of ordering. It was pathetic and beyond belief. When they finally did bring a veggie starter, it was one battered mushroom and one tiny spring roll. I then got a tiny bowl of noodles for a main. Then they seem to bring the bill and clear the table before you can order anything else. I was basically given NOTHING to eat on a supposed all you can eat buffet deal and left starving. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

wow i put of going to Rueters and now i ask myself why the meal was perfect i had salt and pepper chicken wings and henry lamb for main hubby had soup of the day with beef for main we ate it all my only complaint is GET RAUTERS ON LINE i think advertising on line (your own web) with your low prices and what meals are being served would bring in 50 more custom t i looked at the menu and it said 3 course Sunday meal yer 5 course 7.95 this place would be booming if it had more internet advertising THIS PLACE IS A1 the staff well young and very polite and able to talk to customers young and old felt so comfortable will be going a lot more there PS thank you for a lovely evening
