Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

We have been eating with ‘Othello’s’ and ‘the med’ previously for the last 20 years. We attended on Tuesday night at 6.30, the restaurant wasn’t too busy. We were utterly disappointed with the overall experience. We were seated at a 2 seater table which was fine there were only 2 of us, on ordering the chefs special meze this caused a big fuss with the staff. After our waiter had gone to the bar area to explain that we have ordered the meze and that we needed to be moved and this resulted in a loud conversation, pointing at us and frantic page turning as they looked at the other bookings. We were then approached to move to another table in an abrupt manner, we felt really bad about ordering the meze and that we had inconvenienced the staff. Once seated at our new table the food was with us in minutes. We always order this meze and have done for 20 years. The first few plates were all delivered very quickly. This was nowhere near the quality/quantity we had previously had. The meal was hit amend miss with a couple of the dishes being nice. Some of the food seemed like it had been reheated with hotspots and some of the meat being quite chewy. We were rushed through all the meze courses, with food being propelled at us, which seemed like they wanted us out as quick as possible. Normally we would enjoy spending time in the restaurant but we had finished (a supposed 18 course meze) within an hour. This would normally take us up to 3 hours and with more and better quality dishes. The restaurant and toilets looked ok from the outset however when looking closely these were not finished to a high standard. The meze was priced at 30pp however we used the eat out to help out voucher and had a couple of soft drinks each paying £50 in total For the bill. This experience was disappointing and has put us off attending the restaurant in the future, which is sad as this is always been our go to place.

Food was really good, booked easily that day for 50% off food offer. Service was good, hygiene for Covid reasons was good, would go back again and try the other tapas options we didn’t have.

I've only given the food a 4 out of 5, as I require gluten free and it was difficult to work out which dishes were suitable. They did provide a slice of gluten free bread to try and open up more of the lunch menu unfortunately, I'm not a fan of gluten free bread. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the food I had.

Service was quick and friendly however the food was mediocre at best. A little cramped considering we're supposed to be social distancing. A bit disappointed to be honest.

We visited here during our trip to Blackpool. The food is sensational, the staff are super friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed and chilled. The price is very reasonable too! We will certainly visit again soon.

Visited for the first time recently and can only say that we were given the best dining experience had in a number of years. The restaurant was relaxing and very clean with social distancing applied. The food was superb and the family naan bread is worth ordering as a talking point. The staff were very attentive and food was served at intervals that was perfect for a fine dining experience. To cap it off the beer was draught Cobra at cheaper than pub prices. If that wasn’t enough they are members of the meerkat 2 for 1 dining scheme. We will definitely be revisiting in the near future.

Excellent lunch last Thursday. Food and service as good as ever. New garden a delightful place to eat. Well done a great addition.

Fantastic food. Fantastic service considering the current crisis. Attentive staff. Would recommend for everyone who enjoys Indian food to visit.

So pleased 54 has reopened. Love this place, so much so that we went twice last week! Working our way through the Tapas menu, all excellent. See you soon

We went on Sat night was a bit quiet but it was early food was excellent can’t fault at all.Would definitely go again next time we are in Lytham

Staff very friendly & food was devine. Very good value for money & large portions. Great music playing in the background too. Will definitely be back. Just a slight criticism though. Toilets could do with being a lot cleaner.

What a wonderful place we had such a lovely breakfast with our two boys. Such a nice morning under the new way of life.

My children and I visited this restaurant at the start of the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme but we were overcharged as the manager obviously didn’t understand how the scheme works (he would not apply discount to the children’s food and drinks). When I queried the bill I was rudely told ‘I don’t make the rules’. I’d like to suggest he educate himself on them! The toilets were filthy and as we were one of the first customers in the morning I assume they hadn’t been cleaned that morning or the previous evening. There was a long wait for food and drinks and a long wait after asking for the bill. The food however was very good, the chef would do better to be elsewhere. Very disappointing.

The meal was fantastic, the cocktails even better! The staff were incredible so friendly and welcoming, it really feels like you are walking into a family. Worth every single penny, would highly recommend to anyone.

The service was poor, in fact having waited nearly 45 minutes I enquired about our starters and told that they had been missed. When served the sous chef took the blame I then had to chase up our main courses and when they were served a lame excuse for the delay was given. Garlic bread was given to us as a" peace " offering. Otherwise the evening was enjoyable with good food, pleasant staff and attention to Covid rules. I appreciate that there were difficulties with new staff and having only beeen open again for a few days

Lovely meal and great service. Although we sat inside we did nip out to take a look at the new outdoor space - fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Starter (Nachos) was very nice and good value. Steak was nice, without being exceptional. Waiter kindly said that he would not charge me extra for the jacket potato that I had instead of chips. Meat pie was a bit tough, but OK. Pie portion was a small given the price. Staff were very welcoming and attentive, although one some lacked knowledge re whiskey selection. Overall enjoyed the meal, but a considered it a bit over priced.

We ate there on Thursday, after a few people had recommended it, the service was really good and friendly, and we all really enjoyed our food, , so I would recommend it as well .
