I will definitely be returning and highly recommend it. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was excellent.

We were not disappointed and ended up going twice because the food was so good. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely. You can sit, have a drink, and enjoy views of the stadium while also catching a game on one of the sports screens. For our meal, we had cocktails, bratwurst soup, pork and noodles, followed by a delicious cheesecake. We were aware that on matchdays the lounge is off-limits, but it was a delightful treat for us while on vacation in Blackpool. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent amenities at this restaurant, which reminded us of the Red Cafe in Old Trafford (where some of us are season ticket holders for Manchester United). We hope that the team will soon return to their former glory. Anyone dining here will not be disappointed, as the food is of excellent quality and beautifully presented at very reasonable prices.

I suggested that, as the offer (literal) was on the table, they should honor it. no chance. I had to order a much more expensive, although very well cooked in a good sauce pasta carbonara. just didn't go down and it could have/should.

A family group arrived and a man who appeared to be in charge approached them, checked their reservation on a list, and escorted them to their table. I then approached him to mention our reservation for Donegan, but he informed me that I was not on his list. I explained that I had booked online and pulled out my phone to show him the confirmation, but he seemed annoyed and told me that those bookings didn’t come through. He then offered us the choice of two tables and left us there without showing us to either one. After that, we received menus and had to wait a long time before the main waiter finally came to take our order. We mentioned that no one had come to take our drink order, which seemed to irritate him. He responded as if we were making a fuss, saying, “Oh, you want a wine menu?” At that point, we decided that the service was so poor that we would not stay to eat at Rowleys. This was especially disappointing, as it was a special meal to celebrate a 50th birthday, and we had read many positive reviews about the restaurant. We ultimately left and took a taxi to the Beach House restaurant, where we enjoyed a lovely meal and excellent service.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the food is outstanding. This is definitely one of my favorite dining spots. I highly recommend it! read more The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the food is outstanding. This is definitely one of my favorite dining spots. I highly recommend it!
