Reviews in St. Annes-On-Sea

My partner and i went there for the first time last night and wasnt impressed. The food was ok, nothing special and weve certainly had better in other indian restaurants. The staff werent particulary friendly and not at all welcoming and fail to see how its been classed as the best indian restaurant in st annes. We wont be going back there.

Very disappointed in the loft. Wentbalong for sat lunch. Waited a while on menu. Ordered prawn salad. Got prawn sandwich instead. My husband had fly in bottom of his glass. Also table was dirty, will never be back. Also a few others complained

The chips were unusual and very nice, the fish finger sandwich was melt in the mouth, the Bakewell tart was how tart should be and the caramel in the millionaire's shortcake was rich and the slice was generous. Large portions too!

Excellent as usual with Joy being the perfect hostess with the mostess!!

Went here after reading that they won the best Indian restaurant in the North West in the Gazette so thought I would give it a try.Was not disappointed. The food served here is outstanding, my friends and I were very impressed and we could not fault anything. Excellent. Will be coming back for more!

Very friendly professional attitude they remember you and treat you special including a complimentary drink and free pickles. The food is well cooked with fresh ingredients to a high standard. I go regularly and would recommend it to anyone, staff are always happy.

FANTASTIC home made scones!!! Breathtaking views with extremely friendly staff. Clean modern cafe with a good range of well priced home made food. Going to try home made burgers on my next visit!

Was back home for a night and always use the Moghul when in town for takeaway or eat in. I ordered my food which was spot on as usual and was told they had a new place in Lytham that actually delivers called Bhaji Bar. Will try that next!

Just enjoyed a fabulous birthday gathering at Banksy's Coffee house and bar in the newly revamped conservatory area at the front of the hotel - all blonde wood with white walls and gleaming white furniture, this stylish area, with its stunning views is just a delight. The coffee is fab; I believe the Banksy's Hendricks G and T is a classic and the staff including the very welcoming bar manager are just great together with Roger and family who run the hotel. My 40 or so friends and family who so enjoyed our gathering there will all be coming back or booking a stay. I can imagine this area will really enhance anyone's visit as it's a perfect spot for refreshments on arrival or a nightcap. Nothing is too much trouble for staff and it is a really great find as it completely adds to the facilities already at the hotel. Also, prices are really reasonable - another bonus! Shall definitely become a Banksy's regular and already wondering if I can organise a family reunion and centre it there so that family can stay at the Carlton. Check it out people - I think you will be as impressed as I have been!

First time at Zen and was very pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff both young and older, a good lively atmosphere (although you would expect nothing less dining at 9pm on a Saturday evening) and attractive Oriental décor with good lighting. There are two menus (Chinese and Thai) presented in a small booklet and the kitchen is quite happy to ramp up or moderate the spice levels depending on your preferences. There are other Chinese restaurants to choose from in St Annes but I think Zen stands out from the crowd by offering diners a choice of full Chinese and Thai menus.

Visited Jack's last Sunday night for a birthday celebration. The group varied in age from 16 months old to 92 years! But, there was something for everyone and everyone enjoyed the meal very much. There was a set menu available and the choices were very good so most people opted for this. The portions were good and the food was of a very high quality! If you haven't been you really should givve it a go and at £12 for 2 courses or £15 for three it is excellent value for the quality you are sure to receive.

Overpriced, food lacked any authenticity. St annes post code is being used here to charge people over the odd prices, waited 10 mins to get a drink, go over the road to the little italian tapas place much better

Definitely the best butties in the area. Great staff and really really good. You must try the soup and the supreme

The best indian take-away in the North West! Never dissapointed, allways delighted! Great service, great food and great selection.

Olivers has been a favourite of mine and my husband for quite a while and now they have added some new really great dishes to their already impressive menu. The Caesar salad is particularly excellent! Lunch or evening this is the place for the best food in St Annes, fantastic quality at a very reasonable price! Always feels very welcoming too!

Have eaten here again recently and tried the early diner menu this time. I am always wary about these set menus as the portions can be small and not sure if they are value for money. Not the case at Jack's!! Had a delicious three course meal which was of excellent quality and we all left full!! For a mid-week meal this menu is perfect, great value and of the normal ala carte quality, highly recommended!!

We are lucky to live within walking distance but we would travel miles to visit it if it was necessary. Joy's warmth is the first thing you notice about the restaurant - she makes you so welcome, right from the very first visit we felt we were with friends. The decor is lovely and then we get to the food. OH, My! The choice on the menu is excellent, not the usual few dishes but a wide range of excellent choices. It is served with delicacy. It is, as others have said, a gem of a restaurant.

Really friendly staff, yummy food and lots of space between the tables so you don't feel at all cramped. Can't say I regularly eat Chinese food but when I do, it's invariably here at Lou Shang.. .
