Reviews in Southport

Food is excellent, cannot fault the food, every meal I have had is top quality and reasonably priced. Wine is excellent. My partner and I have been many times and with family. Its great for romantic or family occasions. The atmosphere is excellent, staff, you cannot fault them, staff are very efficient and attentive every time. I know very few restaurants who have the qualities:excellent food, excellent atmosphere, excellent staff and reasonably priced

The Barking Frog was a wonderful surprise. We had just wandered in from a wine and cheese tasting at the Chateau Ste. Michelle on a Wed night and decided we just wanted a 'bite to eat'. Well, we decided on 'going for the gusto' and having the tasting menu with the wine pairing. The meal was flawless. If Michelin stars could be awarded here in the USA as in Europe, then barking frog is definitely at least a two star (three being the highest). There are meals that stand out and are permanently etched in your memory for me - a three star Michelin in the Netherlands, a two star Michelin in Brussels, the 'Lampreia' in Seattle and now the Barking Frog (in all my international travels) stand out as dinners you will always remember. The 5 course tasting menu dinner was highly original ...somehow not something I would expect in 'Woodinville'. The consome with foie gras and cherry was amazingly tasteful and well balanced. The pork cheeks were the most original in that the sauce was an equivalent of what's called 'speculaas' in Holland...cookies and many sweets are made of this flavour combination which is not found in America. It is a combination of anisette, and cinnamon and licorice - very surprising to find these flavours alongside the pork cheeks...this chef knows how to please the palate...it was absolutely delicious. And the mint ice cream with pure dark choc bits and REAL MINT ...wow... I will never be able to eat any other kind of mint ice cream again after having tasted this one ...makes you realize that everything else in the 'mint department' is so 'artificial' tasting by comparison. I have no faults to find with the meal we had...it was to be totally hones - absolutely flawless! Barking Frog you've got me hooked!

very good little Italian. modern approach fresh ingredients served with a smile. v good pasta!

The restaurant has a good lively atmosphere with friendly well mannered staff. The food is excellent, averagely priced at about £15-£20 per head including starter, drink and coffee. One useful facility for a town centre establishment is a reasonable car park. I can also recommend their takeaway menu.

Fuegos is a fabulous restaurant. My family and i visit often and it gets better every time!!! The food is fantastic and good value. The only problem is there is far too much to choose from! The service is great and we are looking forward to our next visit.

TRIED IT AND DIDN'T LIKE IT-OAP FOOD FROM THE 80'S

Everybody seemed to be talking about this restaurant so we decided to visit. I must say we were bowled over. Everything was exceptional. The presentation of the food was amazing only surpassed by the taste. The service was also excellent. Smiling faces all around. This restaurant definitely has the full package. This must be the best place in the area. We will certainly be going back soon. Well done.

Went here for my birthday and had one of the best meals EVER. Had 3 courses for £15.95. Could not fault the service and the food was excellent. Will definitely be recommending to everyone. Good value too.

A very nice place, good ambiance and splendid varied menu particularly the fish section.Had Clam chowder ( best I have had this side of USA) and Steak Rossini which was really nice,medium rare as requested well cooked and presented and extremely tasty, the onion rings were freshly done and Irish coffee hot and powerful.A very good meal all in all, not the cheapest place but good value for money will go again !

Me and my partner were extremely disappointed with the service received this particular night at this restaurant. When we arrived the place was almost empty and we went and sat upstairs. Towards the end of our meal 1 member of staff cept coming to see if we had finished and we felt as though we had to rush our meal. To our dismay, as if we weren't hurrying enough, this member of staff ended up switching the lights off on us! Needless to say we never returned to this restaurant again. Clearly this guy had no customer service skills or had simply had a very bad day!

ate there tonight. food is glorious, they have a very innovative chef, thoroughly enjoyable and for the quality the price is very reasonable

We had a ten people party in the forge, for my mothers birthday, everything was fantastic, some amazing fish on display, and I will and would recommend, to anyone. The price was very fair and food and service both very very high standard, I have eaten all over the world, and would put this restaurant in the top Five I have dined in. Thank you 'forge brasserie'.

THE BEST restaurant in Southport by far! Been going here for 10 years or more & never disappointed! We always have steaks as I’m not into seafood but my friends say that the seafood is even better than the steak! Would recommend to anyone- they also have amazing midweek offers! Not To Miss!

I would recommend harpers fish and chip shop because the food was delicious and the service was great. And what i don't like is when it takes ages for your food but not harpers it comes as quick as a click.

This is a new restaurant that we had heard very good reports about so visited it recently. Everything was superb. Presentation of food was amazing. Staff smiling and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful setting too. Definitely will go again.

Very Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly waitresses. Nice food, nice prices. What else can u ask for

The Restaurant has a great ambience, very friendly staff, always there to serve and have good conversation, I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice night out, The food is just what you would expect to go with the ambience, not too spicy and full flavoured, that goes for every dish I have tried there. All this for an average amount which is very affordable

The food is tasty and well priced. The staff area very polite and helpful. It has a very comfortable atmosphere. I worked there about 2.5 years ago and really enjoyed working looking after the customers,good rapport with staff and the manager is a down-to-earth guy and looks after his staff.
