Smiths Arms – PrestonThe great chef has now left and they also have a very sleazy waiter now too. Made our visit very uncomfortable indeed. Specials are now very limited, service is poor and if you want to take your girlfriend, be warned, the short waiter will almost certainly hit on her while you are at the toilet. Give this restaurant a wide berth at the moment.
Porcinis – PrestonI have been here a few times and this time I decided to dine here, the restaurant/cafe had a real buzz and all the food looked so delicious that it was difficult to make a decision. There is plenty of choice for everyone…a little on the pricey side but was definitely value for money!
Walled Garden Bistro – PrestonWe visited this restaurant on Saturday 20th June. The atmosphere was good, staff were friendly, food was reasonably priced. They had a special deal on 2 courses for £16.95 which was good value. The food was very good! Presented to a very high standard too. Lamb was overcooked but that was the only complaint on a table of 6. There are lots of dining seats upstairs so don't be put off if downstairs looks busy. I will definitely go again.
Fusion Room – PrestonA party of eight of us attended frankie and bennies only to find the staff were not the best, it is an italian so you would expect the usual being offered black pepper, parmesan but the truth was one of the party asked for balsamic vinegar and was passed your ordinary malt vinegar i asked for Parmesan and was looked at like i was from another planet, another member of the party asked for a doggy bag to take home and had to transfer the food herself into the box. I had requested a slice of cake with all the works for my friends b-day but because we had mentioned that a pizza was burnt we ended up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a candle shoved in the top. Not the best place i have dined in a long time.
Frankie and Bennys – PrestonHi my wife and I came for a meal on Tuesday the 16th June to celebrate out wedding anniversary, I wanted to say thank you for a fantastic meal and great service, we really enjoyed ourselves, the food was brilliant so give my regards to the chef, and the staff were very efficient and helpful, we will definitely be back.
Angels – PrestonI went to the Dolphin for lunch with a pal and her 5 year old daughter last month for lunch. I arrived about half an hour after the restaurant claimed it opened and was completely ignored by the staff. There was another couple who had arrived shortly before us for a table and were treated exactly the same. Disgusted, I left for San Marco instead where I had a fantastic meal. I'll never go again.
The Dolphin Inn – PrestonMy wife and I consider this to be the very best Fine Dining in Lancashire. We have visited on several occasions and are always made extremely welcome by the attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The eating experience is out of this world for excellence and a calm and tranquil ambience if all around. Highly recommended to anyone liking gourmet food served in an unrushed atmosphere.
Angels – PrestonAfter being completely ignored by the staff at the Dolphin Inn, Longton, I drove to San Marco and thank god I did. The food was fantastic, the staff extremely friendly and the service wonderful. Me and my pal brought along her 5 year old daughter and the staff were great with her. Definitely going back!
Trattoria San Marco – PrestonHas to be THE best Indian takeaway ever - have tried others but always come back to these guys - and have done for 5 years now - every curry tastes and looks different but always delicious - none of this one sauce fits all for them! Try them and you will not be looking elsewhere....
Shahi Tandoori – PrestonBeware of fake reviews. We went to the restaurant after reading the review. First issue, the restaurant was design with too much white, it's steal, cold and doesn't give out the sense of luxury as it tried to make people to believe. The place was quiet, the food potion was small and tasted average. The location is heart of 'Student' Village, hence you just don't feel safe to leave your car nearby at night. This feels to be a very amateur attempt, no doubt we may see this restaurant feature soon in Kitchen Nightmare
Fusion Room – PrestonWe visited this restaurant on 26 may 2009 , it was wonderful , well presented and reasonable. they catered for all your needs , i fancied scallops but it wasn't on the menu , but the chef had some fresh ones and put me a starter together with saffron and mash,it was lovely, the fillet was 28 days hung so it was lovely and pink but no blood. We do lots of reviews for various people and visit many restaurants and this is without doubt up there with the best ,especially in Preston (maybe the best). We both had an enjoyable evening and will be visiting again.
Fusion Room – PrestonI have travelled to Angels twice for special occasions with friends and both times the food and service has been absolutely amazing. We have been made to feel extremely welcome, the people there made us feel pampered whilst giving us the time to enjoy our meal. Thank you Angels!
Angels – PrestonMy wife & I dined at Angels recently. We were warmly welcomed by staff and were made to feel special from the moment we entered. The ambience was warm, serene and pleasing. The decor was modern with it's own unique twist on style. Throughout we were treated as special guests which is highly complimentary of the professionalism of the staff and we did not feel rushed at any stage. The food was faultless. Portion sizes and the blend of flavours - perfect! A thoroughly enjoyable evening of being spoilt in style!
Angels – PrestonMY HUSBAND AND I SAY THERE IS NO RESTAURANT LIKE THIS THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT AND THE PEOPLE WHO OWN ANGELS ARE VERY POLITE AND FRIENDLY WE TRAVEL FROM MANCESTER TO GO FOR MEALS WE WOULD RECOMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE ITS TOP OF OUR RESTAURANTS FOR EXCELLENT FOOD THE CHEF IS AN EXCELLENT COOK DO TRY YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP GOING AS WE DO ******************************************
Angels – PrestonBest restaurant in the North West! Superb, innovative chef serving quality gourmet food. Owners are 'front of house' guiding friendly, helpful staff to create a fine dining experience which is second to none. Recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for the best food, wines and ambience in and around Preston/Blackburn area.
Angels – Prestonwe have visited pond now numerous times and i am always blown away with the attention to detail, the friendly efficient staff and the most wonderful food you will ever eat, i had a table booked with friends last Saturday and was excited to see Andrea in the kitchen running rings around her boys, her food was amazing my friends were visiting from London and they can't imagine eating anywhere this good , we need one in Camden they cried! the mussels in Thai coconut and the fillet Stilton were exceptional as was the dragon banana we all polished off with a deliciously fruity rioja our bill was also very reasonable working out about £28.00 each ( we did drink abit) so we have all booked again and have decided to try it on a Sunday for a lazy chill out afternoon that they are doing from may, we cannot wait. If you are in or thinking of visiting Preston you must try it but please book don't be disappointed as they are always busy.
