Reviews in Lytham

visited after a friend recommended whelans to us sat in the upstairs dining room which was bright and airy we both had the special a large halibut which was lovely and good value for money service was excellent Anna the supervisor looked after us really well will definitely visit again when in Lytham.

Terrible service. Arrived having booked for 7:30pm, however was told hurriedly by staff to wait in the downstairs bar. Bought drinks and waited for approximately 30mins before somebody approached to take our order. But nobody had thought to give us a menu or communicated with us what the wait was for. Having asked the gentleman waiter (owner) if we could at least sit at our table and have our drinks there (as the bar was now getting very full with others waiting to be seated) - he hurriedly told us they were very busy and that we would just have to wait. We finally got seated at approximately 20:30 - an hour after the original booking time. We ordered from the gourmet menu, 2 steaks with different sauces. The starters arrived, they were beautiful. A while later the mains arrived, 2 steaks which I had ordered medium to well done and my partner rare, his with blue cheese sauce and mine with pepper sauce. The mains arrived, both steaks very rare and both with pepper sauce. The mains did not come with new potatoes as stated in the menu but with chips. When my husband asked the staff why one was without blue cheese sauce the main waiter came over and said he forgot to tell us that they had run out of blue cheese sauce. Absolutely terrible service. Not enough staff in the restaurant, the waiter/owner was incredibly rude, are meals were wrong and far too much hanging around. At the end of the night the waiter was not apologetic but told us that we were the only ones that didn't enjoy our night! It might have been because we were the only ones that had our meals messed up? Would never go back to this restaurant, i would never recommend it to anyone after the treatment we had. And to say the prices weren't cheap!

Have visited this establishment twice - both times closed - I expected the opening hours to be similar to other local eateries and was very disappointed. For all fish and chip lovers everywhere unfortunately you have no choice but to consider somewhere else to eat on a mid week evening!

We used to love the carvery that was put on here, however we went today to find out they no longer do the carvery. nevertheless we decided to stay and have the Sunday roast. This turned out to be the worst meal i have ever had!! the meat it processed meat and the veg taste like rubber. I would not recommend this place to anyone anymore, the food it warmed up, processed and disgusting!!!!

We have eaten here twice now and it offers great quality, fair price and a good atmosphere. Peter Keeping

I love this place for the excellent food, from interesting hors d' to the filling and memorable mains and the calorific puds. A real treat for the buds. It is also good for watching the mid life crisis men trying to chat up the equally in crisis women dressed in their gold shoes downing copious bottles of vino. So very Lytham nouveau. Peter Keeping

Portofino's Restaurant is the best most consistent restaurant you will find anywhere on the Fylde coast. I have been going there for thirteen years and it is still my favourite for atmosphere and most importantly food. The staff are wonderful too. If only there were more like that around hear. Keep up the good work Orlando

Have eaten at Bosco about a dozen times now and it just gets better and better, superb and authentic pizza and great pasta served in great surroundings by excellent and friendly staff. There are a lot of Italian restaurants in Lytham, but Bosco is leagues ahead of the rest for quality of food, service and value for money.. Excellent..

Enjoyed 2 evenings at Java. The house beefburger was very good as was the location in the heart of Lytham. The lemon and cream tart rounded things off nicely. A great meeting place.

Firstly this place looks great. It's got the vibe of Grill on the Alley in Manchester. Part bar but mainly an American Styled steak house. Spread over 2 floors like Chicory that it replaced. The staff are on the ball, the young GM provided slick front of house management. Also the food we had was very good, 2 contemporary burgers on a wooden platter with potato wedges.We went the other night for a leaving party and Henrys provided plates for a cake one of my staff baked, nice touch! Will be back.

We have been visiting the Red Fort for many years on a regular basis (sometimes every week). We have always found the food to be excellent, never had a poor meal or any cause for complaint, this also applies to the takeaway. The staff are always welcoming and provide really good friendly and professional service, a combination that is not easy to achieve. In our opinion this is the best Indian Restaurant in the Fylde area, and probably beyond..

Great Oriental restaurant with lots of choice and friendly service. The Malaysian and Thai options are particularly good. Highly recommended

We all really enjoyed our Beef and Ale pies at Artisan before the big xmas shop in Booths. Place always seems to be busy so they must be doing something right.

We eat here regularly. It is so refreshing to have a local restaurant with not only great Mediterranean food - led by Pizzas & pastas - but also predominantly an adult atmosphere. Bosco offers a lovely selection of accompanying New or Old world wines to help you unwind. the wood oven baked pizzas & chilli king prawn linguine are beautifully cooked. Oh, don't forget to ask for the Tartufe for pudding ! The hostess Jen with her pleasant cheery manner & her hard working chef husband Mo and their staff make every occasion special. The personal approach makes you feel "wanted" and wanting to return. Simply superb! Andrew & Jo

enjoyed an excellent business lunch here. service, food and ambiance tip top.

Pricing is keen, service is OK, food is very acceptable.

I dislike Fancy That, the owner is a very unpleasant person. He has no respect for some of the staff and i have witnessed him physically push them on occasions. This cafe is also not as child friendly as it comes across to be either. If i have to be honest i don't understand why anyone would visit Fancy That on a regular basis as the food is grossly over priced, and the owner, and i believe his wive, are very awkward to be around. I'm sure many other locals, and misfortunates can back me up on this statement.

Thank god for seniors fish and chip shop in lytham. Wheelans very overrated and very rude staff needed some competition . Whelans will close or be sold within 12 months of this review.
