Ambrosini's

Maybe an off night for the restaurant? Read the crazy good reviews on here and trip advisor, so decided to come out of Central Blackpool for a visit.

Table booked for 8pm, but as it's a very small venue , we stood outside queuing with another 4 groups waiting ... problem is no one was acknowledging any of the customers waiting. In the end, one of the chefs came to the front of house to get us all seated and help the bedlam of people trying to leave and arrive.

The restaurant is very small, this did cause a few searing issues with people asking to move about as they were a but snug on certain tables... but all in all no issue with the tables from myself but other customers didn't seem too pleased.

It took and age for people to have their orders taken. When they did finally arrive 3 tables had issues. One didn't get the dish they asked for, one didn't get their half and half starter right and again one lady sent hers back as their order was also wrong.

Bizarrely, the order issues of other customers continued into their mains and then the sweets.

Luckily for me all my orders were spot on the only issue was it took over 2 hours from sitting down to getting out.

Food was ok. Nice. .. I can't say I was blown away like the other reviews. Maybe they built it up a bit too much for me?

All in all.......

Cons

• Cramped venue
• Wrong orders taken and given
• Had to always approach the staff. (Customers having to ask for a sweet menu or another drink for example)
• Left outside waiting for 15 mins.
• one customer had to eat on his own as his wife's order was completely wrong.
• took a long time for food to be served. This was not the kitchen staffs issue, front of house was all over the place.

Pros

• Food was ok
• portion sizes are good! *prices are good

I think maybe it was a bad night for the place, caused by a new member of staff who was in training leaving a lot for the girl who was training him to do.

We will come back again to give it another go and hopefully update this to a 5 star.
