Reviews in Fylde Coast and Blackpool

After reading the recommendations on this site i am sorry to say that the Olive Tree did not live up to our expectations.The food was tasteless which was very surprising for a Greek restaurant.We had four different waiters and still i had to remind them regarding drinks .My family and i where very disappointed and on top of it all they charged us twenty pounds to much and were not at all friendly when we pointed this out. Maybe i should have spoken scouse with my family instead of Swedish.5-8-2010.

Good service. They are always trying to please. Have some space for complimentary drink at the end!!

I had noticed this restaurant mentioned by Robin Duke in the Evening Gazette a couple of times, he always gave it 10 out of 10 in his recommendations. I'm always a bit suspicious of over effusive reviews having been disappointed in the past with local Thai establishments. However I went along with the family to Suda Thai in Carleton. We went on a Wednesday thinking it would be quiet and we wouldn't need to book in advance. Mistake. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table as the place was full. No problem as there is the Castle Gardens over the road. A quick drink and our table was ready. We decided to go "all in" and ordered several dishes plus a few extra as the prices are reasonable. Not much to be said except we kept eating long after we were full. Truly amazing food! The spiciness was perfect for all our tastes, even without our ordering the extra dishes there was so much food. So now I'm the one giving the over effusive review, but I'm not a journalist, just an extremely satisfied customer. Bravo Suda Thai, you have raised the bar.

brilliant we found this place 4 year ago and have been going since very friendly great food and prices cant wait to go back there

Stayed here recently. The rooms are comfy, the staff friendly and helpful, but the food ,above all, was magnificent. All prepared fresh to order on the premises it was certainly different from, and a cut above, the usual mass produced pub grub.

all the food is great here and proper chippy chips not frozen rubbish.......try Jimmys Fried Rice it's fantastic!! Regards

Fantastic night out. Really friendly atmosphere. The best steak I have ever tasted cooked over a charcoal grill. They are huge. Where else do you get that sort of food on the Fylde. Great price too. They also seem to do the biggest ribs I have ever seen.

We went to New Holly last weekend after being recommended by a friend. The staff were fantastic and the food was even better. I tried the 'black rock grill' which is definitely an experience to be tried. The kids were catered for with a large play area to keep them happy.

Went last night and had the banquet. Fantastic food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and quick service. Best Chinese I have ever eaten and will definitely be going back.

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.

great place for a night out , food to die for and really tasty. service a bit slow but was busy, would deffo go back. prices really reasonable for what you get, would recommend to anybody.

Had a family meal "Al Fresco" on 10.8.09 to avoid the waiting time of one hour. Staff friendly and Carvery meal excellent value with the promotional voucher. Will definitely go again.

I found this little cafe by accident while on a day trip to Blackpool last year. Just bought fish and chips to eat as we walked along. But they were beautifully cooked, great tasting, juicy fish plus hot and crispy on the outside. Definitely go again. Place also seemed to have a regular clientele always a good sign.

Fantastic meal best Indian i have ever had, clean fresh and non greasy food cooked to perfection. nothing too much trouble and staff friendly, helpful and amusing. Highly recommend a trip here, also had takeaway in the past and this was excellent too.

Just returned from a superb spontaneous visit to Zen in St Annes. As locals we have missed going to Tiggis/Joya sinced it closed, but Zen could well be our new favourite place in town. The restaurant is very well decorated providing a warm authentic setting, and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Most importantly the food is absolutely spot on. We shared a mixed starter including fantastic ribs and a very tasty fishcakes. Our Thai mains were excellent too, and having had similar dishes at Siam in Lytham we both agreed that this was easily on par if not better. Indeed the food was amazingly tasty, fresh and well prepared, we were both marvelling through the whole meal. A shared starter, 2 mains, 1 serving of egg fried rice and 2 Tiger Beers came to £30, excellent value considering the whole experience. If you've looked at Zen's own website, don't be put off. They've only been open a few weeks and the site clearly need enhancement. This is a place that St Annes can really be proud of and we look forward to returning with friends and family soon!

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!!!

My favourite restaurant EVER! Loved the decor, loved the food, loved the staff and the prices are very reasonable! I would definitely recommend going to Zen, and will definitely be going back again.... and again.... and again!!!

Went last Saturday night, and without boring you in too much detail, ill sum it up in a nutshell,.... Absolutely Top Drawer in every way possible!!! without doubt my new favourite Chinese and would recommend this gaff to anyone who'll listen! ...just go and you'll see what i mean!
