"best seafood dishes I ever tasted, this is another level restaurant where food tastes like nowhere else. the service is also amazing, a service and a treatment that they will not get anywhere in london. a perfect place for romantic dinners, birthday parties or business meetings, it is worth every penny they spend."

"Superb, friendly service and a brigade performing at top level despite it being New Years day! Every dish perfectly executed and all courses fresh, flavoursome and both aesthetically and palate pleasing. Some really inspired cooking and perfectly balanced flavours for even the most jaded Christmas palate. Even the fries are cooked with love and are crisp and moreish. Such exciting dishes that dessert was swerved in favour of returning to the starters for scallops with a wowsering Hibiki Whisky Bacon Bon Bon. Cocktails are taken seriously here and are equally creative; this is no eatery just tipping its hat at mixology. Relax, enjoy the atmosphere and experience the fact this restaurant ‘does what it says on the tin’ it is most definitely’smokin’."

"Atmosphere was nice sitting outside. But value for money not good. Requested glass of prosecco and measure was shocking. I did ask if this was correct measure as I seen her use the last of the bottle of prosecco for my drink. She replied ' yes two fingers from the top ' Never heard of this before. I did take a photo will add. My rationale is everyone 's fingers are different sizes. My honest opinion is that is was nearly closing and didn 't want to open another bottle. If its a prosecco glass the best measure to get it the same would fill it to the top even if the cost is more, you know then the measure is right."

"In the approach to Christmas, at the time of goodwill to all men, I feel hesitant writing this review. We 've had meals at The Bell before, probably on three occasions, and they have been fine with good service. This time we met friends here and had driven a long way through driving rain and were hungry! The restaurant was full, and so was the waiting area. I think the other half of the room was being used for a meeting or conference maybe, so perhaps the restaurant floor area where we normally sit was reduced. We were greeted reasonably and shown to our table and sat down, We were presented with the Festive menu. We preferred to order from the main menu. After about 15 minutes, we had to ask for these from behind the bar. Our drinks came pretty quickly our waitress was courteous and friendly, and our food order was taken. After over an hour, and noting that other tables who arrived well after we did were served before us, we enquired as to whether we had been forgotten. We had to go and find someone to ask. After 20 minutes more, our food did arrive. The bream, liver and fish and chips were OK. But I don 't think the chef knows how to cook the basics, unless a work experience person or the like was given responsibility. Mashed potato was cold and getting solid. Saute potatoes were few and far between, overcooked, small and cold. The salad was a dozen olives thrown onto a couple of lettuce leaves. The waitress offered to have the mash replaced, but we didn 't have another hour to spare. The waitress was full of apologies, but said she had asked about the delay from the kitchen. The food isn 't cheap here, so quality ought to have been reasonabe, not partly sub standard or unenjoyable. We apologised to our friends for recommending this venue. Although the bill was adjusted, we 'll probably try somewhere else next time. Shame, because we love the area and the decor."

"I stopped by the restaurant last night for a drink around 9:05pm. The person who seemed to be the manager informed us that they were closing at 10pm. We went to the bar where a staff member, without any greeting or politeness, told us we could only have one drink. When we mentioned what the manager had told us about being able to have drinks until closing time, the bartender abruptly stated that he had already shut down the pumps. Despite this, he eventually poured our drinks. At 9:40pm, he came out to the garden and told us we had 3 minutes to finish up and leave. We observed that there was still another table with patrons outside, but we decided to leave via the pub. Upon reaching the front door, we found it bolted from the inside, which is a safety issue according to fire regulations. It seems like the management decisions and behavior of the bartender are deterring customers, especially since the establishment closes at 10pm. It appears as though the bartender would be better suited for a nightclub rather than a village pub where manners are expected. Overall, it seems like the establishment is not making the best choices in terms of customer service."

"A return visit, but the first since the change of ownership. We arrived before midday, not having a reservation, but were seated easily on a quiet day. There were only two staff and service was a little slow, but nothing to moan about. I'm not sure what the reason was; the first sunny day for quite a while, the first weekday of the half term holiday, but suddenly the place was inundated and the staff, who obviously weren't expecting it, just couldn't cope there was queue out of the door! Everything unravelled from there. Luckily our order had been taken and our food arrived in good time, but another drink or a cup of coffee would have taken forever, so I paid and left! The food was OK, but not what it used to be. The place remains very much the same, but taken as a whole the experience was not as good as usual. I'll go back again, just to see if this was a one off, but I do think Young's Brewery needs to be more on the ball here. I should add, the staff were both very friendly and helpful, but were just overwhelmed."

"We had pre-booked a table for 6 people to have lunch at 2:15pm. We arrived on time and were shown to the table, which had only been set for 4 people which meant we had to pull a further 2 chairs up to the table, and had to request a wine list. We ordered a round of drinks for the table which took c. 15 minutes to arrive. We were waiting a considerable amount of time for a food menu. Eventually we called a waiter over to order some food and were told that the kitchen we no longer serving, despite having booked a table for lunch and not being warned of the kitchen closing time. The staff told us to be quick in ordering however took a further 10 minutes to come and take the order. The food eventually came and the waitress didn 't even put the food at the correct place, she merely put them on the table for us to distribute accordingly. When the bill eventually came, we politely requested the *optional service charge was removed from the bill as we did not feel that we had received adequate service to warrant a tip, to which the manager began shouting that it as shocking that we wanted to rightfully remove the tip. He went on to say that the kitchen staff had stayed over time to prepare our food. My question to the owner is this... if your chefs are unwilling to work over their hours, why are you offering a reservation close to closing time whilst your staff are incapable of processing the orders to the kitchens in the correct timescale and working hours. If we were told that the kitchen were closing soon, we would have cooperated with the staff to help them work to their time scales."

"I recently had lunch at this restaurant and was very impressed. The price per person ranged between £20-£30. The food was excellent, I would give it a 5 out of 5. The service was also top-notch, receiving another 5 out of 5 rating. The atmosphere was quite nice, scoring a 4 out of 5. Overall, I had a great dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant for a meal."

"I was in last Saturday for bottomless brunch for my mam's 50th birthday, I paid for myself and her and we were with a table of 10 all together. I'm very disappointed and honestly feel like I've been robbed blind. I waited 45 mins for my first drink despite ordering it 3 times. I ended up only having two cocktails and a glass of prosecco and my mam only had 3 glasses of prosecco. I can't understand how you can have a room that full and only have one person working the bar making drinks. It certainly wasn't worth £80 and in comparison to other bottomless brunches, this one was the worst I've been to for organisation and attentiveness, it seemed poorly organised and definitely wasn't worth the £80 that I paid. I contacted La Torre on Facebook and they responded by asking where I was sat and since then I have been ignored. People on our table were holding their glasses in the air for drinks and we were being completely blanked and walked past to serve other tables. They say that you can order another drink when your current one is half empty, I'd say good luck with that. I'd save your money and go elsewhere for bottomless brunch."

"We stayed at The George in January, it was a quiet weekend , we had dinner Saturday and Sunday and stayed both nights in the Castle Room, the room was spacious, clean and had excellent amenities, not just a kettle but a coffee machine, mini fridge, water in room etc, lovely extra touches that are welcomed. The food was lovely, staff welcoming and the fire in the pub lovely to sit near whilst enjoying a drink. Our family joined us and stayed on Saturday and they liked their room as well, especially the bathroom which had a very spacious shower. All in all, great village pub with a very traditional feel, well worth booking ."

"We have came here at least 4 or so times a year for 7 or so years , tonight was shocking , terrible wait for drinks , starters arrived and had to keep asking about drinks , the to be informed cocktail out of stock , order a strawberry daiquiri and 5 mins or so our cocktail machine broken so just take a Coke starters finished and drinks arrive one starter was totally wrong also , main courses were ok but not as hot as would expect , but bar staff snappy when speaking not the waiter .We decide enough and don’t take deserts . Starter taken off bill but charges £11 for 2 small bottles of water, amended and blame conveniently places on young waiter which is not justified by the others or duty manager, if he was so new someone should have been overlooking him instead of scapegoat being made. We won’t be back ! So disappointed not the young waiter he was apologetic and seemed sincere . Also just before leaving cocktails appear to being made ingredients miraculously appeared !"

"We had booked a table for 4 at San Pietro tonight for 6.30pm. As we walked in they had given our table to some regulars. They asked us to wait outside in the cold with two children. I asked how long, and was told it would be half an hour. We said we would come back if our table would be ready. When we came back they looked surprised and tried to make a makeshift table for 4 right by the front door in front of the bar. This table was clearly not suitable with the main door opening right upon our ‘makeshift’ set up. When I asked what had happened to our table, the waiter mumbled something inaudible. I would have had more respect for the staff, if they had just apologised from the start and explained that they had given our table away to some regular diners, meaning we could have fed our children earlier at a more considerate establishment. At no time did any staff apologise to us, for giving our table away. Avoid this place at all cost. We did go to Tapios Tapas the first night in Windermere and the food was great and so was the service and very reasonably priced. We went to Hooked Seafood on the second night and the food was amazing. The soft shell crab starter and sea bass main with a nice bottle of Picpoul de Pinet were superb. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. You should go to either of them before San Pietro."

"We booked having seen numerous “dog friendly” reviews where infact this restaurant does not allow dogs inside. We were stopped on the stairs and offered seating outside on the river that was not very inviting or a room in what appeared to be under the stairs. Shame as we had heard good things. NOTE the last dog friendly review or otherwise was in 2021 so not sure if the situation had changed since. Obviously it is a restaurant’s prerogative to not accept dogs but it would be good to provide this information as we had travelled from Cornwall and were unable to find anywhere else of interest in the town."

"absolutely breathtaking place. the service was both at the bar when we waited for our table and when we moved to the restaurant for some food. drinks very well made with some interesting things on the menu. eating was nice, but not exceptional. food is fish/seafood oriented and I visited with my pregnant woman. I want to come back and try more of the fish and sushi dishes, as I feel the best of living. will be absolutely back!"

"My daughters and I visited Thai Season for her 16th birthday celebration. It was our first visit despite living nearby. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were very generous. Although the menu may seem a bit expensive compared to other restaurants nearby, once you see the portion sizes and taste the quality of the food, you realize you are getting great value for your money. The staff were very friendly and accommodating as well. We couldn't find any faults with this restaurant. Rating: 5 stars."

"We had a lovely lunch today, May 22, 2022, with a group of ten. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, and there were a few people enjoying the outdoor garden area. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and the portion sizes were impressive for the price. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals and the service. It’s a charming little bistro, and I would definitely recommend it."

"Bland food and very overpriced, ribs ok, squid was flubbery but fresh, the tacos with salmon mix and mayo were grim only eatable after adding chilli sauce too, and two for 11 quid was a joke. Sake OK and had a beer. , 65 quid for one, is not good, won't return. If you think One bottle 70cl of Sake for 18 x 4 is fair! Come on 72 quid... , indicative of food price... ! I went to you twice, as I was hungry..., re. the Chinese next door they may have been ok, but after finishing one pint and there not being internet, I asked them for your password, I needed to go. I also asked if they had started to cook my food at which point they said no. I paid them for beer and said, I would return. The fact, there did not seem to be much cooking going on was a red flag to me and I did not have time. Your concept is ok, but a bit of drift wood in comparison to London and it's my fault to draw comparisons, and I did give it a second chance but simply put it's not very good. Seems you have a bee in your bonnet, re. Chinese food and cutting and pasting recurring theme, Only just started reviewing items. Please don't make comparison between a Chinese directly next to your abode that may be ok, and fact you are trying the London street food tribe here in Blackpool, which I wish you luck with, but having seen it and spending money with you on separate occasions please have the grace to say thank you and good bye. Else to many perhaps you may look a bit tribal and bitter. Good luck."
