Promanade Restaurant in Blackpool

not happy it was poo im so unimprest never eating as i got food poisining from sosig nice tea and cake though

Esta es la primera vez que nos alojamos aquí y no ha comido en el restaurante en la cena, pero con el restaurante que ofrece ser un asador, elegimos el servicio de habitación, que es una opción del menú completo!! Sin embargo, comer en el bar el día que llegamos, y no nos podíamos quejar de la comida o el servicio - todo el personal era muy agradable. Yo realmente no entiendo por qué el restaurante no ofrece un menú completo pero el bar y el servicio de habitación no??Nos tomamos el desayuno en el restaurante y no tenemos ninguna queja o allí, todo estaba bien.

Hace 12 meses, este restaurante era de muy mala calidad, y una sombra de su propio yo. Sin embargo, este restaurante es, ahora, de vuelta en el formulario, y es uno de los mejores lugares para comer en Blackpool. Dos carnes asados, junto con otros cuatro platos. Todo estaba muy bien preparado, con el cordero y ternera de ser tierna y liberado en la boca. Los peces espada era delicioso y la salsa de hierbas muy complementados.Había una amplia selección de postres, y todos muy buenos, incluyendo el pan y la mantequilla de naranja budín, que era excelente.

Buffet style carvery , average nothing special. Limited starters, soup or salad. Deserts sickly and limited. Not value for money .

Así, la segunda visita al restaurante con contactos de negocios esta vez. Nos llamó con antelación para hacer la reserva para 8 y pidió que las mesas modificados para que podíamos sentarnos juntos. Todos llegamos juntos y a tiempo, pero nos dijeron que las mesas no estaban disponibles como los clientes anteriores no habían terminado su comida aún. La señorita nos pidieron esperar en el bar estaban muy ocupados. Las bebidas no gratuito ofrecido y no podíamos sentarnos en el bar sin un trago, así que compré una circular que me costó 38.60 #. Finalmente nos llamaron para mesas, estos no habían sido reorganizados como solicitado así que ayudaron a la chica con este. Este encuentro de negocios no es llegar a tener un buen comienzo! La comida era adecuada con el tamaño un poco raro carnes duras y las verduras no tan caliente como el que deberían haber sido, pero nadie quería causar un alboroto porque hubiera sido vergonzoso. El vino un lujo y que llevó a la orilla. Estamos todavía en los negocios, por eso es bueno! Sin duda no es tan bueno como se esperaba de la Hilton.

Estuvimos en diciembre y nos quedamos encantados con la comida y el servicio. No me pareció que era posible al principio, pero cuando nos alojamos esta vez el servicio y la comida eran aún mejor. La primera noche pedimos servicio de habitación, no sólo la comida deliciosa, pero nos llamaron la habitación para comprobar que estábamos contentos con la comida. Cuando bajamos a desayunar vimos el mismo personal como el año pasado, Yvonne, que es una excelente camarera, ella se recordaba que no beber té o café. Andy, el chef también era excelente, su comida es una maravilla y el hecho de que él había recordado que mi marido estaba minusválidos y no podía abrir la pequeña mantequilla y ollas de Flora, así que no les para él sin que hacen de él uno de los mejores - nada era una molestia para él.Cenamos en el restaurante la segunda noche y estaba muy ocupado, como una fiesta de autobús habíamos llegado, que habían perdido su ferry pero, a pesar de que fue inesperado nuestro servicio era igual de bueno. La comida era excelente, me encantó el pollo cajún, la próxima vez me habría sin salsa, la salsa era preciosa, pero estoy tratando de ver las calorías y el pollo estaba tan húmedas sería tan agradable sin la salsa. No puedo esperar otra vez en septiembre : -)

Nos alojamos en el hotel Hilton y el clima no era genial, así que decidimos comer en el hotel. El menú era 3 platos por £18 - buena relación calidad-precio y disfrutamos mucho de nuestra comida. La mañana siguiente teníamos un buen desayuno, el buffet tiene algo para todo el mundo. Me decidí a preguntar lo que sería en el menú para la cena por la noche y nos dijeron que sería un menú nuevo pero el otro menú está siempre disponible, así que sólo hay que preguntar si queríamos el otro menú. No nos ofrecieron el menú principal la noche anterior. Por la noche era el mismo servidor, Yvonne y ella nos trajo dos menús, ella es un crédito para el lugar, ella es amable y sabe mucho. Tuvimos una estupenda comida en el hotel Hilton en esta visita. Incluso un postre con hilo en Hohoho : -) La última mañana desayunamos y estaba Yvonne nuevo y el chef del desayuno era Andy, nada era un problema y se notaba que le preocupaba la comida. En toda la comida estupenda y servicios - gracias a Yvonne y Andy.

The staff at this restaurant were very good indeed and the food was good, but from a very limited menu for this level of hotel. They really should have a good A La Carte menu.

Would like to thank everyone at the Hilton for an enjoyable meal we had , the food was the best I've eaten in a hotel for a while , I would also like to thank Matthew for looking after us on this evening he is a credit to your company ,I didn't see him last time I was here so must be new well done all x

Tuvimos un maravilloso desayuno, en el restaurante, la comida era muy fresca y muy bien presentado, había algo para todo el mundo, y parecía muy atractivo. Chef y el personal era muy contento y resultó una experiencia muy agradable. Nos fuimos con una sonrisa en nuestras caras y stomachs.probably completo el mejor desayuno que he tenido. El equipo de catering.

Normalmente no comer en los hoteles en los que alojarse, pero el tiempo era malo, así que nos fuimos. Fue muy agradable, así que reservamos para la noche siguiente.El menú buffet es extenso, seguro, con algo para todo el mundo en particular la zanahoria y cilantro sopa dio en el clavo para mí . Los platos principales dio en el clavo, con una selección de 5 platos que probamos cada noche. Sí, es un trabajo comer todo lo que quieras.En particular, nos gustó mucho la lubina y ternera y ale Pie - bien preparada y comida de calidad. Bien unos cuantos platos estaban un poco seco pero cuando tienes una opción sin ningún problema.Dicho ambiente agradable en el restaurante, pero para mí las ventanas necesitan jajaja de limpieza que teníamos 2 maravillosas noches aquí lo suficiente

Met with friends on saturday for a meal at this hotel. Very disappointed, expected better of a Hilton. Was very surprised to see that the main fare was all you can eat buffet??? I ordered a sharing platter with my friend and this consisted of a couple of pieces of cheap spanish salami, a bit of parma ham rolled up, a bowl of silverskin onions and sliced gherkin, olives and a couple of pieces of cheese, pretty dire really. Others in our party ordered also from the main menu, my friends chilli was lacking in sauce....just a tremendous let down. We were hoping for something more special. Will not bother again. Oh and one of our party was wheelchair bound, only one of three lifts were working and he had to wait ages, most unacceptable.

Restaurant looks like a part of the lobby seperated with a curtian. Not really a restaurant though. Small tables so nearly enough space for drinks + food. Service from waitress was very good. Ordered a steak medium but this was well done. Quality and taste of steak was good. Attentive service on the wine we drunk.

Behin a hilton i excepted noce lovely hotel but i was in for a shock very dated front of house is lovely till you get to your room its not good to be really honest its abit scabby holes filled in tiles carpet from a old poeples home same with furniture bed sheets and pillows like crisp packet and at the time i found out the water is infected in that area plus surround areas THE HOTEL DIDNT NOT TELL ME i found out the third day up there and ONLY then they had put a little letter on the front counter but even standing there waiting for manager few people been signed in i didnt heard staff telling ANYONE about the water been infected with some virus WAS NOT BEST PLEASE ABOUT IT ASWELL AS THE ROOM please look around different hotels before booking

The Hilton Blackpool is known for its excellent restaurant, however, this has now changed and it is a relic of the past. Where there used to be a carvery, of which there was a choice of three meats, there is now trays of food, along with potatoes and veg. Most of it felt out of place, such as the meatballs, with no pasta. They have a menu on the table, to tell you what is on the buffet, however, before we left, there was a lamb dish being brought out, despite not being on the menu! The restaurant has become very lacklustre in its offerings. Where is used to be one of the best places to eat in Blackpool, and one of the reasons why we stay at the Hilton, but this is now not the case.

Not bad for a late booking Sunday lunch. We had a table with a seaview which was nice. Good salad bar starter (soup was the alternative), a choice of 3 meats and trimmings, 2 curries and salmon - with 7 vegetables to help yourself to. 6 dessert choices plus a cheese board. Coffee/tea was extra. A bit pricey at £17.50 per person but with the added extras of good and not falsely friendly staff and the seaview I think it was worth it. Drinks of course are pricey because it is a hotel - so stick to the newly cleared of nasty acteria tap water. Only criticism is that I asked for a Bacardi and Coke and got a rum and coke instead - but hey all's good and no point stressing the small stuff.

Breakfast buffet is well set out. The food is fresh and hot. You can help yourself to the buffet as many times as you like. There are also other food such as smoked salmon poached eggs vegetarian sausages excetera that are not on the buffet and you have to ask. The evening buffet was very nice again it's all you can eat. The food is hot and fresh. There are numerous starters there are also at least four main dishes you can choose from and also there are numerous desserts to choose from. All very nice. I thought it was value for your money.

my daughter n son in law were given 2nites stay here 4 honeymoon by grandparents. they book superior room!! were given twin bed small had to come out of bathroom to get dried.

The food in this place is just fab, anyone who cannot see that is crazy!! Lovely decor & wonderful staff. Very clean establishment!!

The food is tasty and very well cooked, i have srated at this hotel many times, from the fantastic breakfast, to the delish afternoon teas. The evening meals you can have alacart, or buffet this is not as you may think, always a excellent choice of mains and the desserts are mmmmm no other words really.

Peter and his staff could not have done any more to make this night special EVERYTHING was taken care of.We were family group of 12 with 2 children and we all had various foods and everyone was happy, the children were treated as human beings.THANKYOU THANKYOU

Had a two course meal here with friends as they were staying there.Good choice of starters main and deserts reasonably priced and enjoyable. The waitresses were helpful and pleasant while taking orders etc.Wouldn't eat at the Hilton on a regular basis because of the cost, but nice to once in a while.A good well priced meal and drinks with friends.

If you like a good Sunday Carvery then this is the place to eat. It's not cheap but worth every penny. We started off with Soup of the day then moved on to cold starters from the help yourself section. The choice at the carvery table is wonderful. The meats are cooked to perfection and the veg and the rest just compliments it all. If you have room then the dessert section again is a must as you can go up as many times as you desire for both hot and cold desserts. We then rounded it off by grabbing Coffee's and mint chocolates and sat in the lounge section for a couple of hours to unwind having as much coffee and we wanted. all for the same price. The service is second to none.If we could afford it we would eat here every Sunday.Highly recommended.

My wife and I together various friends have dined hear many times and find it really good value particularly if you have a Hi-life or taste card which gives you 2 meals for the price of one. Their is always a good choice and you can go back for more as often as you like.

We stayed for 2 nights and on the second night we decided to eat in the restaurant. We had to get a voucher from reception to get a discount for hotel guests, making me feel like a kid at school with a token for free school meals! However, we paid £18.50 each for the buffet, there is no normal menu - just carvery buffet, it's a all you can eat which is always a bonus! Starters were soup, salad,mackerel, prawns etc. Mains were beef, meatballs, chicken in mustard and cream sauce, pasta, rice, veg etc. Desserts were profiteroles, cake and custard, apple Charlotte or fruit salad. Good service, food adequate but not outstanding! Wine very pricey with £24 being the cheapest. I would eat here again with the family x

Stayed awhile ago don't know if things have changed or not. We ate in bar area,more like a lounge with low tables. Food ok but music loud and similar to a working man's club, ate in town for the rest of stay. Breakfast was very good with a varied choice of hot and cold food. Fresh tea in pot which is a bonus!

Hello Had Lunch here last Sunday, I was attending a works conference Great quality food and great service and staff !!!!!(Chicken dinner with nice veg) Thank you Brian (Lancashire)

We ate in the restaurant on 2 successive nights when we stayed in the hotel. Our first impressions were not tremendous as the restaurant was very quiet. However we received a warm welcome and were well looked after by staff. The food was very nice, with the bonus of our 2 children (under 10) eating free. We enjoyed another meal the next night, and the breakfasts were good too.

Had good meals here previously, so decided to take some friends there. What a disappointment this time. Booked the meal a week earlier. However, when we arrived were told that no table was ready and asked to go back and wait in bar. In the restaurant the atmosphere was more like McDonalds. At the next table was a wailing infant and on the other side two ten-year old playing on flashing i-pads. Most of the tables had children, and little ones were running about. This was at 8pm. We asked to be moved to a quieter area, but were told that this wasn't possible. OK it was half-term, but hotels of this standard usually stipulate that no children are permitted in the restaurant after a certain time. We have stayed in hotels with our children, and always made sure that they were exhausted and flat out in bed by 7.30pm rather than inflict them on other diners. On booking had been told that food was no longer a carvery, but would be al a carte, which was fine by us. Then in restaurant were told that it was a 'hot buffet'. 'Lukewarm buffet' would be a better description. There was no handle on the lid of the soup urn, bread rolls were running out and the salad starters looked like they'd been sitting there a week. Bowls of sauces had no labels to indicate what they were. What we thought was bread sauce to go with the chicken turned out to be horseradish. Then a waitress said we could have had al a carte after all. They need to get their act together, and at the same time organise some staff to clear the empty tables. To be fair, on complaining we were offered a complimentary bottle of wine. The manager came over later and said we wouldn't be charged for the meals. Ten minutes later he was back, having been told we'd had complimentary wine. He gave us the option of paying for either the meals or the wine. We opted for the wine. As a result paid £20 for a bottle of wine we wouldn't otherwise have bought. On leaving the restaurant we passed a quieter area with half a dozen empty tables, set up with cutlery, wine glasses etc. Yet earlier we'd been told we couldn't be moved.As we sat in the bar at 10pm there were still mothers with prams, and small children running about. Won't be returning.

Stayed here for our anniversary food was amazing and plentiful loads of choice for breakfast never go hungry here staff very helpful always willing to help you.

My wife and i enjoyed another excellent meal,such good value for money, soup and a roll is served to you at the table then you help yourself at the salad bar,then you have a choice of roasts or fish or another two or three more items and fill up the plate with potatoes and selection of veg,followed by choice of hot puddings and cold desserts,then cheese and biscuits plus tea or coffee. Absolute wonderful value for money.All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely be returning again and again.

During my stay in Blackpool I ate at some nice places. This was not one. A Business colleague was staying at the Hilton and suggested we eat in the restaurant one night.So we did paying £17.50 each, when arriving we were packed in like sardines and our table was next to the service counter so I was constantly getting bumped and I later noticed soup on the back of my jacket from other guests. On the table there was a couple bottles of wine and bottles of water, with price tags around them. The wine was £15 a bottle and the water was £3.50 a bottle, given there was over 14 of us in our group I thought they included a bottle or two in the price and pay for further bottles. But no its just there for you to buy. The food was not too bad for a carvery but they ran out of Yorkshire puddings by the time the que moved up, service was slow and considering what the price was, I wish I went to a Toby carvery as this was far from what I expected for £17.50And the hotel just seemed so shabby and dated, one of the twin rooms I looked into of a colleague just looked like a cheap B&B room. Would not bother coming back, Really does not deserve the Hilton name, it needs a premier inn the take it over and refurbish it.

The wife and I went for the Sunday Carvery a couple of weeks ago and found it enjoyable but not up to the usual Hilton standard! The presentation was good and the food seemed well prepared, but nothing special. I paid about £60 for the two of us including a couple of drinks. I expected something a bit better!

Queues for breakfast, queues for dinner. Large open space with no character. Self-service! Not Hilton restaurant standards at all. Tip: get there early, as food you want may have run out later. Expensive wines.

We were out wandering around one lunchtime and found the restaurant just by chance. Its called a restaurant but I would describe it more as a mix of café and restaurant. My wife, daughter and myself each had a different snack followed by a drink. we loved the ambience of the place, it was really buzzing, and the staff were so helpful and friendly. I was also surprised by the choice of food and would recommend it to anyone.

Hot food buffet style and very well presented. The puddings are really really good. We liked it very much and could not fault it .

Me and my fiancee booked this hotel hoping for a nice getaway we stayed for two nights, black marks on wall ciggy burn on windowsill, had to ask for replacement towels..twice, a cleaner interupted me and my fiancee, door handle to get out of the room fell off I also got engaged at the venue and no congratulation wishes which annoyed us both... really disappointed with the hotel in general it felt run down and certain staff had an unwelcoming attitude. Would not recommend.

We have visited the Hilton on Blackpool Promenade many times and we are always delighted.The food at the Sunday Carvery is outstanding.The cost may seem high at £18.50 but for that you can eat as much as you want or can stomach.They serve home made soup and the next course is Appetizers which are varied and scrumptious.Main course,choice of roasts fish or vegetarian.The desserts are too numerous to mention.Coffee with mints follows.The staff are excellent and most helpful.I ca highly recommend this restaurant.

My wife and, alone and with friends, have dined here quite often and find it is really good value for money. It is a buffet restaurant, eat as much or as little as you like but it is really good food with plenty of choice. Last night there was soup, salad bar, choice of carved roast beef or pork, chicken, gammon and salmon followed by choice of two hot puddings with custard and several cold desserts and it was all delicious. The dining room is spotless, the staff from the maître de to the waiters/waitresses and chefs are all really pleasant and helpful. The Taste card, Gourmet Card and Hi-life all get you 2 meals for the price of 1. Only complaint was the taped music was completely out of place. An hotel like this would be lovely with a live pianist.

i enjoy the food at this place as the restaurant overloom the sea nice view and good relax place. would go again when in blackpool

We booked a Blackpool holiday at the Hilton Hotel, thinking that we would treat ourselves to something extra special for a change. However we found things rather average and a bit frustrating sometimes for a Hilton Hotel. The room over looked the sea, but the window was so dirty that it spoilt what would have been a really nice view. The room was ok but no more than average. With myself having some difficulties with standing, I assumed that the hotel being the Hilton, would have a waiter service in the restaurant at breakfast time. We were shown to a table, but then the rest was all stand and queue up for our own breakfast. then queue again to make toast etc. However there was a good choice of food to pick from.The most frustrating thing about our stay was being woken up around 4:30am in the morning of our last nights stay. l thought someone was trying to get into the room. So having been woken I got out of bed to investigate and found a folded A4 paper had been pushed under the door. It turned out to be our final account bill from the hotel, that had been posted by one of the Hotel staff.When we checked out we asked if this Hilton hotel was the same company as the London Hilton etc. We were told that yes it was, but had been bought from another Hotel chain and therefore could not be run as the same as some of the other main Hiltons.So considering the price of staying at the Hilton hotel, we would prefer a smaller family run hotel any day.Kevin and Carol

we were staying at the Hilton hotel as a returning guest the buffett style breakfast is very nice and tasty there is a large choice of fruit juices cereals cold meats salads fruit various bread and cakes, yughurts and hot full english. We didnt dine here at night on theis stay due to being at shows etc early, However we have dined in the promonade restaurant in the past and found the carvery very good value for money and they have delicious varieties of puddings.

Great B&B at The Hilton Blackpool, huge selection of items. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. Staff very helpful. Will certainly visit again.

Probably the most expensive car wry I have ever had. For the money the value is very poor. Whilst the gammon was tasty the veg etc were all Luke warm and certainly not what I expected. Very poor experience

Just been served two Chicago town pizza that you can buy from Asda for £3.00 each and they are charging £13 each shocking.. I would have thought from a hilton that the chef would have cooked them.. Very disappointed

we stayed around the corner in the most hideous hotel so we had no choice but to go out to find somewhere to eat, we found this one and never looked back. thanks

Firstly i would like to know WHY people are moaning about so called bad experience as thats a load of rubbish!!Secondly myself and my mam booked via groupon for mothers day treat we were seated in the bar after a short wait (ben is fab!) We were seated straight away and ordered our tea and told chef wont be long hes making up your order now (VERY impressed at how speedy this was done) As for the shop bought cakes i am a patisserie and confectionary chef and let me tell you theae are FAB petit fours are supposed to be small so people moaning is annoying -.- me and my mam cut the four in half so could sample each one :)The scones are a decent size 6 sarnies as i call then each ( if you rinf when booking ben advised you can tell then can i get alternative to salmon if you dont like salmon) huge pot of clippers tea brilliant service from ben he is a credit to the hylton give him a pay rise!!! Over all YES id book again YES its worth the money YES i was satisfied YES id reccomend it ans YES it is in top three afternoon teas i have had (2nd only to cafe in cockermouth)Hylton hold on to ben he is the BEST waiter there!!!! Ps left the hylton comfortable full so is enough for two!

Went to the Hilton for afternoon tea today with three friends, booked through Dealmonster. I was very glad we had not paid full price, in fact it wasn't even worth the half price we paid. We were in the lounge bar which had knee height tables - not very comfortable for eating. The whole place was soul-less and the food matched the atmosphere. The sandwiches were cheap sliced bread, half-filled with cheese and tomato, cucumber or salmon (or egg for the vegetarian option). One very small scone each with artificial cream which was not nice. Two small cakes each which were basically rubbery although I think they were meant to be some sort of mousse. Two large pots of tea with two very small teabags in each pot. The best thing about the afternoon was the company. If you want a decent afternoon tea, Toast in St Anne's was much better and we had a fabulous Christmas afternoon tea at Dahlia's Kitchen (Cropper Road, Blackpool) last December.

Good hotel, perfect location all the key attractions are in 3miles. good connections to local transport. Tram station just opposite to the hotel gives excellent access to the attractionlittle disappointed with the family room.we are vegetarian so requested restaurant to arrange for us, they cooked excellent Chickpea and spinach curry with Nan and papodum.

This bistro is incorporated with the Dutchman Hotel. We had been looking for a meal stop just after 4.30pm I saw on the outside menu what i fancied to eat with a kids eat free when adult purchases a Main Course meal, - cool we thought due to the budget we had left. Inside we went - nice n quiet we thought - only to be approached by a late teen early 20's waiter who said they weren't yet open. we had arrived just before the evening meal menu time but were allowed to sit in and wait the 10 or so minutes. At 5pm he came to take our order - obviously what id fancied was lunchtime meals - so did have alternative. Asked what the veg was he said carrots & brocilli I think - shall I go n check he came back with peas n sweet corn option :( and said they hadn't got potatoes only the crispy cube like chips - ok we said. but no veg on mine. lil miss asked what her drink options were as hers included a free drink n ice cream he had to think then told us. The restaurant area quickly filled up (reserved Hotel guest tables) rather noisy by then. Food cam with potatoes cubes n veg in a separate serving dish. Surprisingly it was very tasty. Lil miss had cheeseburger n chips had to ask though for sauce n vinegar. she also had chocolate ice cream. I had a mug of tea asked if sugar required and was given demorara (coffee sugar) :( Staff not up to my standards - needed more knowledge but food tasty - wouldn't in a hurry go there again - plenty more food outlets

Third visit to the buffet restaurant as part of large (100) group having visited the Tower Ballroom on a dance trip.This must rate as one of the best buffet meals I have had in the UK. An excellent soup followed by a very nice salad bar surpassed however by the hot meals. All were good quality, well prepared and in generous portions. This is followed by a wide selection of desserts and for the very hungry an good choice of cheese and biscuits. At the listed normal price of £21.50 it offers great value.Excellent service completes the visit.

Went for afternoon tea with my friend on Sunday 23rd March. She had got it on deal monster and for what she paid it was worth it. The sandwiches left a lot to be desired though! Very bland! Cucumber, cheese and smoked salmon. Two little cakes and a fruit scone each. My friend didn't like fruit scones and we asked if she could have a plain one. They had none but the lovely chap ( Peter ) serving us was very apologetic and brought us more cakes to make up for it. If it was not for his great service I don't think I would have been impressed. So all in all it was fine. They could improve it though.

went to the Hilton with friends for our Sunday lunch,, just perfect, nice restaurant, friendly staff , very attentive, all food was just perfect , its back at the top for us, cannot commend them enough this time. Surroundings are just fine,, compared to another nearby hotel this is ace.Five course meal and loads of time to enjoy it.Thank you Hilton. See you soon.

Came for afternoon tea with a Deal Monster offer. I was expecting a lot and I was so disappointed. First of all we we're put in the open bar area full of people attending a conference. The service was poor..... The sandwiches were on dry bread, nothing special, the scone dry and the cakes not worth the effort. To top it off the tea was so weak. Really disappointed and expected better, had similar deal for Toast in St Anne's and that was a lot better.

We use this restaurant quite frequently, it is family friendly, although a bit dated. the food is wholesome, well cooked, ample portions and very reasonably priced. service is good, by friendly waiting staff. it is'nt the Ritz but its o.k.

The hotel is probably stunning, but the catering was very below par. £18 was meant to get three courses, and based on reviews here and my taste card, I thought that would be too good to be true... It was. The soup (only stater option) was bland, and certainly the last creamy cream of tomato I've ever had. I chose the "spicy meatballs in arrabiata sauce" option as a main. I expected an Italian dish, it was served in a balti dish, with pilau basmati rice, and certainly resembled a cheap greasy curry. I got halfa ggarlic pizza bread with it, emphasising my suspicion that the chef had no idea what he was doing. Desert at least was good, cheese and biscuit. But the pannacotta was ju st like cream with some gelatin in it, dull. I'd stay there, it looked grand, but the staff were all difficult to understand, spoke in whispers, and were overly eager to take plates away, so I won't be eating there again.

sweet location - by the sea, on the 5th floor, roof opens in the eveninggreat ambiance - quiet, dim-lite placefriendly stafffor a quite pretty evening.

This was the second time four of us had been to the Hilton for afternoon tea and must say it will be the last. It was a special treat for us all as we are all jetting off on holiday soon and will not see each other for quite a while, so we decided to treat ourselves on a Deal Monster deal. We went to the Hilton last year for the same thing and it was absolutely fantastic, that is why we decided to go again.Firstly, we were told that we couldn't have it in the dining room as it was closed, that didnt happen last time, we had a table overlooking the seafront. We sat in the bar on very low settees and were brought our tea, bit watery but drinkable followed by the most unappetising food I have ever seen. The sandwiches, grated cheese, tomato, cucmber and smoked salmon (which none of us like) were terrible, served on very dry bread. The cakes looked liked they had just been bought from the corner shop and the scones dry, cream and jam ok. My friend asked if there was any meat sandwiches and he was told that "you only get meat sandwiches if you are at the Ritz", we got them last time and tuna and put on a beautiful plata dressed with lettuce, tomato, etc., I have written a letter to the Hilton and my friend sent an email and up to now no response. So all I can say is if the Hilton want to carry on doing Deal Monster deals, go back to what they were last year.

lovely food and a lovely chioce at the buffet too i enjoyed and if you go i am sure you will enjoy it aswelll great and friendly staff too

it was the day of the storm in Blackpool, so one couldn't go far. This was commendation of place to go and eat as its local to where i was staying. this did not disappointment.

typical blacxkpool food quick and greasy chips with everthing great entertainment in all the arcades agreat way to spend your money

We have had meals many times here before but on the last 2 occasions the meal has been spoilt by the main course out of all the courses available. In accordance with Tastecard's stipulation I pre-booked but on arriving the booking wasn't showing, the restaurant was empty so we were fortunate on this occasion. We requested the upper seating area and we were offered a table in the window, maybe on hindsight not the best of places as it was not the warmest spot in the restaurant for the time of year though the curtains did pull across. We started with soup which was minestrone and then the cold buffet which had a good choice of prawns, pate, cold meats, melon & salad with various dressings. The main course certainly spoilt the meal, the carvery choice was very samesy as other carvery chains of offering turkey as the main meat with gammon & lamb steaks as other meat choices, there was also fish & vegetable lasagne available. We both chose the lamb steaks as very tired of turkey, this choice was a mistake as the words "tough as old boots" certainly described them, they were very difficult to cut through & very, very chewy. My wife used the words inedible, which describes it and how these had been sent out from the kitchen beggars belief. I gave mention to the server & I decided to try the gammon instead which was so salty it brought on an indigestion attack & I had to leave the table until it had settled, I was left with a very dry taste throughout the rest of the evening & even had to get up through the night to have water. The range of desserts offered was good & both hot & cold choices were available. We finished off having tea & coffee in the lounge with cheese & biscuits. On paying & on being asked if everything was alright with the meal I again gave mention to the meats & was told that my comments would be passed onto the chef. Throughout the evening the staff were very attentive & pleasant but with there only being a few people in there was very little atmosphere. All in all not Hilton's finest hour & quite clearly some attention is needed to the one course out of all the courses offered that is cooked. Using the Tastecard it worked out at £21.90 for the 2 of us, so was good value.

I felt at home in this restaurant, the Manager very nice and meals are a reasonable price. Closes quite early though.

I like that you can help yourself, the plates could be a bit warmer and also the food. At times food would run out and you would have to wait a wee while for more.

How wonderful to stroll down the prom and end up in a beautiful conservatory, the organist was playing fab tunes some old and some new, were in our 40's and thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Tried the restaurant on a deal voucher as we hadn't been for a while. Will not be going again at any cost. Our Friday evening out was a farce.As we sat down at our table I couldn't help but notice how scruffy the couple were on the opposite table, the lady (loose description) had pajama bottoms on, the rest of her and her partner were dressed very scruffy.We were dressed as what we thought was appropriate for a nice hotel restaurant, but how wrong we were. We are not snobs, but have standards of dress and think the Hilton Hotel should have like wise.The rest of the restaurant was full of shell suits and very very casual dressed guests.Then there was the food. Soup was nice,only hot dish, then there was cold buffet, not a brilliant choice, followed by the carvery. There was one carving joint (ham) the other dishes were in casserole type dishes and was served up like school dinners of old. All the food was lukewarm. Didn't fancy any of the cold desserts as they looked like they had been stood out for ages, so went for hot ... well thought it was hot. Wasn't sure what it was, so asked our waitress, she said it was apple crumble to which I replied never, she then said it was spotted dick. I said it could not have been made on the premises by a chef, but she said it had. I told her I had never tasted anything so awful and that the chef should be sacked, at this she laughed. The only item that was how it should have been was the wine at which we payed over the odds for. We took most of that with us as didn't want to sit in the environment we found ourselves in any longer. What a waste of a night.

Hot and varied menu some of the best soups i have tasted,Staff were friendly and even got to know what drinks we preferred.

was good nice view but not as much atmosphere as other restaurants and bars. many friendly bar people throughout main street
