    Went last night with family, food has definitely gone down hill! Veg wasn’t fresh! The mixed grill was shocking! X3 lamb chops with no meat just fat! Chicken over cooked! There was no flavoring to any of our dishes. Didn’t recognize any of the staff! Have they changed hands? We loved going here and after last night I won’t be going back! What a shame!

    They really know how to attend customers. We order delivery and one of the choices came wrong. Restaurant was closed and we were not able to contact them. Suddenly we had a pleasant surprise when another person arrived bringing the missing order and a complimentary desert. Mistakes can be made, but the way a restaurant solve problems makes all the difference; this is a great place that really knows how to treat and respect clients. Besides the service, food is well served, very tasty and uses high quality ingredients. For sure I will visit and order again and I strongly recommend it.

    went here with my fiance for Valentines you couldn't go wrong with this choice the service from the staff here is brilliant. and the food is excellent. they had a good set up with balloons for the occasion and made it extra special for the evening.. the restaurant is really clean well organised the food comes fast and freshly cooked. the outdoor area reminds you of being abroad for some reason. it has that feel to it.. would definitely recommend this place.

    Liars!! Over 6 months ago I told them about their pate... Its cheap pork pate you can get for £1 from Asda. They advertise it as HOMEMADE chicken liver. It's cheap and nasty. THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME PATE passing it off as theirs. The meatballs are disgraceful Tiny little processed balls. I used to love it here. Clearly the good chef they had isn't there anymore.. .

    Absolutely loved it. Food was delicious 😋. Staff were lovely polite and good with kids. Definitely be going back on a regular basis. Just make sure you order a starter to be able to get half price pizza or pasta on days the offer is on. Eton mess was amazing.

    We went for dinner tonight for the first time after driving by a hundred times and saying, we'll go there one day. We weren't disappointed. The restaurant was cosy and well decorated. The staff were all really pleasant and extremely accomodating. The service was prompt but with sufficient time between courses. The food was excellent. Not just Accrington good but good enough for Manchester city centre. We finished our meals and sat in the bar area for an hour before leaving with hand shakes and exchaging the kind of good byes that you might usually reserve for friends and family. We'll definitely be returning knowing that we'll be welcomed with friendly faces, excellent service and amazing food.

    Tried this place for the first time yesterday for the meal deal. I must say it was really nice the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was yummy and such good value. If I had to make one observation it would be that the interior could use a coat of paint. But I would definitely eat here again.

    Excellent food, fantastic staff. I have been many times very consistent, highly recommended.

    Was there for my inlaws 71st birthdays. Food was great but they clearly wanted to rush us to leave. Using an extremely loud stream cleaner as we were trying to celebrate our evening. Won't be going again.

    Food was excellent. Spinach and salmon penne was the best pasta dish I've eaten at a restaurant in years. Staff were friendly and chatty, food service was brilliant and quick. Will definitely be coming back

    Quality Food! Really Realllllly Good!

  • 1/5 Shelly W. 5 months ago on Google
    Rude staff, think he was the manager, served cheese on a tomato pasta dish when a diary allergy was stated. Booked 4 weeks in advance for 7 adults, we added one child age 6 and what a problem this was. Allocated a very small table, which after a confrontation we was given a “add on” table. Very poor experience for a birthday treat for my granddaughter. Sent a starter back, very poor quality. Fire alarm went off every few minutes, need to stop burning food, eyes were streaming! Over charged for children’s ice cream. Over all very expensive. Never again!

    OMG I took my dad for his birthday it was fantastic. As soon as walk in the smell is divine. The service was excellent the food was out of this world and to top it off I lost £40.00 in the toilet and I rang to see if it was there and yes it was!! just amazing will defo be going back

    Very disappointing! First of all me and my partner were seated awkwardly in the corner of a room with around a 25 people party, with constant screaming kids and random people stood around drinking like the place was a pub. As for the food, we requested a garlic bread to come out with our mains but was brought to the table before our starters, for my partners starter, the scallops were raw and inedible, the black pudding was soft and spongy, I had cheese stuffed mushrooms which were bland. For the mains my partner had a risotto and the chicken tasted like fishy soap, I had meatballs which fell to bits, was chewy and also had a taste of soap. From start to finish the evening was a shambles, would not recommend.

    Visited Monte cristo last night and had the 3 course Sunday menu. All the food was lovely and fresh , and tasted amazing. Staff all attentive and efficient and very welcoming. I’ve booked a couple of Christmas party theme nights which we always go to as they are alway the perfect way to start our Christmas . Looking forward to going for our Sunday special again soon .

    Nice cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Tasty food. Would have liked to finish the meal with a Frangelico but unfortunately they didn't stock it, despite their large cocktail bar.

  • 5/5 Tracey B. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful family run restaurant. The food is always superb. Staff make you feel very welcome, nothing is too much trouble. Also have a lovely outdoor covered seating area. Would certainly recommend.

    We had intended to eat in our hotel but menu was very limited with nothing I fancied so just went for the nearest place. And what a find! Varied menu, immaculately presented delicious food, lovely staff and very reasonable.

    We had a party of 16 past night for my little girls 4th party, the staff food entertainment were absolutely fantastic. The staff can't do enough for you the food is insane and the service is so professional and so much fun. The best restaurant around my favourite and I think I speak for many people. Thank you to all the staff that made my little girls night special. Been loads and will definitely be going again ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
