Vista Italian Soul Bar & Kitchen in Lancaster

Visited as a party of 21 and we had pre ordered due to the size of the party, the food arrived shortly after we sat down and it was brilliant. Plenty of food and reasonably priced, no a scrap left by any of us so we will definitely be back.

The food here is outstanding! The halloumi kebab was incredible, can’t rate it high enough! My friend had the lebowski burger and the sticky toffee pudding and he said it was the best sticky toffee he’d ever had! The prices are good and so so worth it! We highly rate this place. The garlic dough sticks were also 100/10! We also bowled and it was great fun!

Went for bottomless brunch. Majority of the staff were nice and doing their best, but unfortunately it simply didn't work. The idea of bottomless brunch is to have bottomless drinks for an alloted time, but the staff were so busy we didn't get our first drinks until 15 mins in. Which when you are on a time limit isn't the greatest. The actual food and drinks were nice but in terms of value for the bottomless brunch I certainly wouldn't recommend or be returning.

Had bottomless brunch here yesterday with 4 friends and we had a lovely time! The drinks were non stop with a variety of really well-made and tasty cocktails the food was delicious. We all had a pasta and shared a pizza between us and neither had any faults. Our waitress Sandra was amazing and all other staff were equally lovely. Would definitely recommend and well worth the £35pp!

I used to go regularly to this restaurant. But this visit the decor looked shabby and they had switched from table service to order at bar. Two of our party are disabled so we need a table service but we are told that is the way it is. Another girl said they would help us but nothing came of it. The food wasn't as good as it used to be either. Very disappointed and will not be going again

The website for this restaurant gives the impression of a very different atmosphere from the one you will experience as a customer. No mood lighting and conversation between couples over freshly-made Italian food. Rather, you will find yourself in a brightly-lit diner in a bowling alley above the Pleasureland amusement arcade. Most customers are in family groups with small children; the music is loud, and not relaxing. The food arrived quickly - perhaps disconcertingly so - and was of mixed quality: pizza was good, but bruschetta was cold salad on sliced bread, and the arrabiata swam in a bowlful of sauce. The view is great if you get a table at the window, and the service was civil if scripted. The main advice is: if you are looking for a family meal after bowling, this will do the job, but this is not a place for a couples’ quiet night out.

Went here for a family outing with bowling. 9 of us. Food was excellent from pizzas to pasta to burgers. Service was good and staff very friendly. Would definitely go again.

Great service from start to finish , lovely decor with a view on a nice day across the bay .Food arrived ( Eggs Benedict ) piping hot and was the best I have EVER tasted.Not very often do I leave a tip but did here ,well done the staff who work faultlessly.

Went through the main door with my partner and stood waiting for a member of staff. The staff member greeted us and we enquired about table availability. Whilst this was ongoing, a customer walked in (completely spaced out), stated he had a booking (did not know who for, or how many people) and then walked in with other members of his party. Staff member should have politely told him to wait as she was helping another customer, not just completely ignore us and then walk away with the other party and show them to their table. We immediately left after such impolite and unwelcoming customer service.

We were looking forward to coming here and enjoying the sunset from the best seats by the window. The sunset didn’t disappoint. As a family we ordered a mixture of pizzas and 2 salmon dishes. We requested that 1 of the salmon dishes be without any dressing. When it arrived (45 minutes later) both had dressings on so we sent 1 back. Another 5 minutes later we were told that there were no salmon left. My mother then decided not to order anything as we would have all finished by the time it arrived. All the food that we ate came out hot and was very tasty. On the whole we had a good time but we had to leave earlier than planned to get my mother some food.

We were her just over a week ago where we played 3 games of bowling and had a meal there was 8 of us and 2 blue light cards we got 15% off we loved the venue and the food so today we visited again for lunch I mentioned twice that I had a blue light card and not once did anyone say anything to me so I got my bill and it had do discount I then mentioned it again and they told me they don’t do the Blue light card discount knowing that I had used it about 10 days ago the manager just looked at us like we were stupid and the staff kept us there under false perception if they had said at the start of the meal that they did not do it we could of made a decision to stay or go!!!!! The staff need training

We have had breakfast here twice now, both times the food has been fabulous. The eggs benedict is better than I have eaten in any hotel. The staff are wonderful. ..very friendly and attentive. It is the only place we have eaten inside during covid and it feels extremely safe. ..The tables are very well spaced and the staff followed exemplary covid safe procedures. We live in Morecambe and so will be returning lots.

My friends and I booked a table here , there were six adults and four children, a mobility scooter, and three large prams.The staff were so helpful in arranging the table and chairs for us, the service was second to non, staff were so friendly and polite without going over the top.The food was excellent! Thankyou for making our day so enjoyable.

This restaurant serves lovely food, we would recommend a visit here, the place needs to advertise more as it's hidden away above the pleasure land amusements . The price of the food is reasonable and there is also a bowling alley on the other side of the restaurant too

Nice setting. Great views. Food sound and service good. We stuck to pizzas and were not disappointed. Price very reasonable.

Called in with no reservation Sandra found us a table straight away even though the restaurant was busy great views great service and pizzas were beautiful. Big compliments to Sandra T what a lovely person went above and beyond Well done

One of the best places to eat in morecambe by far. Really great views from first floor level over the bay and a nice menu with something for everyone. Good quality fit out and very friendly staff. Lovely pizza too!

Absolutely diabolical. Frozen garlic bread and pizza more like San Marco pizza from frozen isle would definitely not recommend this place to eat, how dare it be called an Italian it’s an insult. No table service to check how rubbish the food was, or if any one from the party would like a drink. It’s no wonder the restaurant is empty. Never again.

The entire evening was Spectacular, All the Staff were friendly and attentive, Proud and Professional,and still felt like a Cosy and Quaint Seaside Restaurant.The Food was Speedy and Every bite delicious, Portions are Generous and the overall atmosphere was ...for lack of a Better word?Enchanting.Would recommend to Couples and Families alike, If you want a nice time....Spend your Money here.

We found Vista almost by chance and are happy that we did. We went upstairs for breakfast without any great expectations but everything was excellent.The only thing less than perfect was that the window tables were occupied but the view is still very good from inside the restaurant so no issue.We had a great Full English with toast and coffees which set us up for a walk along the bay. Staff were on the ball so service, food and value all get top marks. We'll definitely call again.

Good food, nice decor and reasonably priced. Views across the Bay are also lovely. I would recommend this restaurant for families whether bowling or not.

Really nice atmosphere and lovely food, will definitely go back. Very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you, special mention to Sandra the lady who served us!!!

We visited here early last Sunday and were really impressed by the breakfast. It was ridiculously good value, large portions, and very tasty. We both had the veggie fry up option, and I swapped out my eggs for extra hash brown which meant I got FOUR HASH BROWNS which is basically one of the best things that can ever happen. The staff were all really friendly, and Louise was particularly lovely. We'll definitely visit again when we're next in Morecambe.

Reception was great, registered for three hours free parking. Social distancing arrangements are amongst the best I've seen. Called in a for a lunch and was delighted to see the addition of lunchtime specials. Don't give 5 rating very often, simply couldn't fault our visit and will be back again.Remember the restaurant is 1st floor, the views over the Bay are still just as stunning.

Food was ok What spoils this place is having the bowling alleys at the end where you can hear all the noise. Service staff were very good. Only thing that makes this place is the location but there must be better Italian places to eat

Booked to eat here whilst on a holiday to Morecambe as was lucky to get it half price as part of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. Went with my wife and daughter and we all had a great meal. Staff were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. All was Covid safe, with staff wearing masks and the tables distanced. The food was all really nice. We shared potato skins as a starter, which were served nice and hot. We all had different main courses, but they all arrived at the table at the same time and everything was really nice. Would certainly recommend and say go and ignore the fact that the restaurant is above an arcade! We were lucky enough to have a window seat with great views over the Bay.

Initially prebooked the bowling for 10 people which was great entertainment.It had been a very wet day. So this worked out great for us. Drinks were brought to our lane and paid for straight away using contactless payment. The lad sorted our drinks and payments was very friendly and helpful.We all decided to eat here after the bowling. Staff setup tables no problem.You would have thought this type of place would be burger and chips establishment.Yes you can get the burger and chips. But also diverse choice on the menu. All 10 of us enjoyed. Served again by the lad who sorted drinks and other staff members who were very friendly and helpful.Wish we had got the name of the lad. Because he deserves a medal and pay rise.

My wife and I went here for a meal. The Staff a friendly and helpfull. I had pepper corn chickin and my wife had the caesar salad with topper. The food was fantastic I will be calling again when next in the area. Thank you.

Cold food brought . All meals brought at different times all 20 minutes apart we like to eat together food was cold and bland won't be returning. Staff couldn't be bothered plenty just stood around doing nothing disnt even ask us if we wanted any sauces etc . Had to find staff to complain. All totally rubbish

What a disaster. I don't even know where to start. Booked for food then bowling afterwards for my sons birthday. I was reluctant to leave a review but even after talking with the manager they still managed to get it wrong. Arrived, seated.. no one came, had to go and ask someone to take our order. Up and down constantly to find out about the food and rearrange the bowling time, 55 minutes later the food came out, side order item missing, served by a very rude waitress with her hair down and not tied up as should be, not impressed, no apology for the wait, no 'enjoy your meals' just slapped down and walked away. Had to ask twice for more drinks, we were now over our pre booked bowling time, they said they were happy to push it back 30 mins. Still not enough time to eat and serve the birthday cake that my friend had delivered to the restaurant earlier that day only to be told by a member of staff our booking didn't exist. Got that sorted. No check backs, no plates cleared, pizzas were good, but not good enough to wait an hour. 3 waitresses stood at the pass chatting, 1 waitress (with a bandaged knee) constantly rolling her eyes and huffing at everything whilst playing with her hair at the pass and the bar, very unhygienic, was told later that she wasn't regular staff but from a place nearby. Had to ask for the cake to be delivered twice, by this point I was really fed up with everything. Spoke with the manager who explained that there wasn't enough kitchen staff due to the new regulations, fine but maybe they shouldn't accept so many bookings if this is the case then? Was then passed over to a more senior member of management who was a lovely lady, offered to take the drinks off the bill and said we could have the bowling lane as long as we wanted. Great yeh... no. After having to message the family members of my sons friends to come and collect the children later than planned, they played 1 game and it ended before they even finished the game, had to then chase up staff to get the game going again, attempted to play another and was told our time was up, the information obviously hadn't been passed on about us having the lane for longer, we'd been there for over 3 hours now and to be honest had just had enough of the faffing so decided to leave. Only 2 hours allowed at the tables for dining, wouldn't be a problem if the service had been faster, or even just a friendlier approach from the staff. Definitely won't be returning in a hurry which is a shame as the place and food is fab, just need a major rethink on the staff perhaps. One other thing, Josh was great! Nothing was too much trouble, just a shame he wasn't our waiter for the evening, things could have been so different.

AmaZing service by Sandra this morning! Lovely views and nice atmosphere!! Would definitely recommend going and also enjoying a game or 3 of bowling!

We ate here after bowling which is to the rear of the restaurant. The restaurant looks out over the sea front. It is spacious and modern. Clean and tables set well apart from each other. Staff were polite. We all enjoyed our meals which were well presented. Service was a little slow but it was pretty busy. Toilet facilities were clean. We parked on the car park to the rear near the trampoline park, if you give your reg no to the restaurant it is free to park. We also went bowling which was great. We would go back again.

Came in for lunch with the kids as part of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme and we all loved it! Loads to choose from on the menu, good value kids meals and super tasty food all round. Relaxed upbeat atmosphere and great service, plus really friendly staff who didn’t make you feel uncomfortable with the social distancing rules. We will be back!

I can only speak as I found. The staff are so welcoming and the food is really good. Its a venue suitable for families. My wife commented how after customers left the tables were totally cleared and cleaned . Will call again

Just had a beautiful meal with 6 of us. The views are lovely, fantastic atmosphere, staff are very welcoming and the food is just beautiful! The only thing was the desserts looked incredible but we didn't have room to try them, never mind, something for next time!We had a very young child with us, who is a bit of a pickle, but staff were amazing and didn't mind when he started to get bored at the end.We will definitely be back, and hopefully get a game of bowling in too next time. :)

Absolutely fantastic service. Arrived after looking at reviews to fabulous greeters. We hadn’t booked but it wasn’t a problem and got us straight in to a lovely family booth. We had been waiting and the manager came straight over to let us know of a slight hiccup with our order she immediately rectified it and sorted the bill out for us. We had a slight change to the kids meals and the host was brilliant. The service and the food were brilliant and will be recommending to our large extended family who stay in morecambe. Thank you!

Booked a table for two on Sat 8th August 2020. Table dirty, asked for it to be cleaned. Ordered two drinks then waited and waited and waited before having to ask where our drinks were. Girl serving said there was a back log so again waited ages. Eventually got our drinks. Ordered mains. My husband had meatballs with taglietelle, he said it was just ok. I ordered vegetables with penne pasta in pesto sauce with parmesan cheese. No parmesan, the pasta was luke warm and soggy in watery liquid. Absolutely disgusting, so bad I left it. I wanted to send it back but my husband didn't want a fuss!! I truly would not have paid as it wasn't worth £1.00 never mind £8.45. The service is bad, the food is disgusting. Go to a proper Italian restaurant instead of this rip-off commercialised joke of a place. It is giving good genuine Italian chefs a bad reputation.

We have previously used the bowling alley but we opted for a lunch thanks to Rishi's deal.Good selection of meals, kids and adults.Food came together all hot and presented well, generous portions with good quality crockery. Place was filling up as we left staff handled it very well. Really good service with a smile, made to feel welcome and safe. Great decor, good background music and a lovely view of Morecambe bay and the lake district fells.

Had the chicken ceasar salad, exquisite does not do it justice! Lovely surroundings and fantastic views of the bay.

We came across this by chance and it made our time away, the food was amazing!! Highly recommend the Lamb shank and salt & pepper squid starter. The service was great and the view/decor was so beautiful! Definitely a go to place. Thank you

Pint of beer moretti £5. Bit expensive really. Had 2 x lambretta burgers. Was supposed to be peri peri chicken and beef patty. Chicken had no taste whatsoever. Rest of it was ok. Staff were attentive though

We visited here a week after restaurants were allowed to open for eating indoors. The space and systems in place allowed for the feeling of safety at all times. Procedures had been well thought out to minimise the amount of handling of items occurring and a one way system in place. The menu is varied with a few vegan options to choose from. I opted for the falafel bites as a starter and a burger as a main, sadly no desert option. The houmous with the starter was particularly nice. Thank you again x

Love visiting with friends, have been a few times for food and bowling. Never disappoints, always busy which shows how popular the place is

Served fast , lovely food. Well presented. Great atmosphere. Lots to choose from. Valentines special was great value for money.

Had a meal here along with a staff do, Harry was especially helpful and went above and beyond what someone should do, really appreciated, good priced and really enjoyed the meal

Went midweek on a Thursday just after New Year no need to book was quiet lovely hot food excellent service.

Visited here with friends for a birthday celebration. The staff were very helpful serving the drinks, they were very prompt in taking the orders. The meals were all exceptional and delicious. Had a great night.

Went here for a evening meal while staying in Morecambe. Good food, friendly and helpful staff, very cheery. Good food. A bit noisy with the bowling alley set-up but we considered it all added to the enjoyable atmosphere. Would definitely visit again.

What a great evening we had recently at Vista Soul Bar in Morecambe. About 40 of us friends got together for a delicious meal and game of 10-pin bowling afterwards. The staff managed the large party superbly. The food was served hot with no fuss and separate couples tabs made the billing simple and accurate. The bowling after was great fun and even the kiddies could have a go. Well done Vista!

been coming for breakfast regularly for about 18 months. However on the last two occasions I have had to send food back. The first time 4 weeks ago the eggs weren't cooked, they rectified it and discounted my breakfast. today they sent my toast out charcoal black. Again rectified but no discount.I really don't know why it has altered so much (different chef maybe) as I used to recommend this place to everyone.Although I may come here again in the future for main meals whilst the kids are bowling, I wont be buying breakfast again any time soon.

Great for families, as there's something for everyone on the menu. The food is nicely presented and well cooked and you're not kept waiting too long for it.

The atmosphere, the music, the food and the staff were fantastic. Cannot fault this place. Our age range was 7 to 72 and we all enjoyed it. We will be back soon.

We had such a fun night at Vista. We started the evening with a delicious meal and the staff were so helpful and friendly. The cocktails were fantastic and the bar there is really well designed and looks so cool. The whole restaurant is a lovely place to be with breath taking views across Morcambe's famous bay. After we had a game of bowling which was super fun and a lad was playing fab tunes on the DJ decks. We had a great night and are going back this weekend. Looking forward to another fun night there!

I took my wife to Vista Italian Soul Bar & Kitchen for our evening meal, to be honest I wish I hadn’t we weren’t that hungry so we decided to share a pizza and a garlic bread with a side salad, now that was the first mistake that really upset the waitress that we decided to share a meal, so off she went to put the order in after a while another waitress appeared with our order dumped them on the table and started to walk away when I asked her for 2 plates 2nd mistake where she replied “god anything else” so I said yes could we have some mayonnaise, she left returning with the smallest plates she could find and the smallest dish of mayo through them on the table and left very quickly, then another waitress appeared ask how the food was, I remarked that the pizza was very soggy in which she replied ” suppose be like that wiv all dat tomato stuff on it” and walked away. Once we had finished the worst pizza and garlic bread ever. I requested the bill, from the waitress, “it seemed like I had interrupted her social life” cash or card she asked I said card in which she promptly replied get up and pay at bar, so as she requested I went to the bar where I stood for quite a while whilst the staff got on with their socialising finally I was acknowledge by someone I have never met before but seemed to think he was my mate, “What do you want mate he asked” I would like to pay my bill, now this becomes an ordeal for him as I don’t have a bill he has to look for it finally he finds it I pay and return to my table followed by the waitress who puts the bill on the table with 3 unwrapped sweets on it she hung around waiting for payment and a tip but when she realised that weren’t happening she left.

Excellent food and good service. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Lovely very clean restaurant.

Such a shame really as it’s a beautiful setting where you can look right across the bay but the service was absolutely shambolic. We ate our starters and then sat there for 20 minutes before I ended up asking the waiter to clear our plates and send out our mains. We then discovered they’d made a mistake and given our order to the table next door so our food came out in two sections. I’d also asked for another two cokes which never came so I had to go to the bar and ask again. Then waited for a while before our table was cleared again and the waitress who cleared it never even asked us if we wanted desserts. So we waited another 15 minutes before I asked for the dessert menus. When we had our desserts my wife had a sharp piece of plastic in her toffee pudding. When I pointed this out to the waiter there was no apology just a roll of the eyes and a sarcastic ‘right I’ll take it off the bill then’. We then sat there for ages with no one once again clearing our table but wiping down and cleaning the empty tables instead so I had to ask for the bill. Staff weren’t friendly and were quite rude even though I was being perfectly polite even though everything was going wrong, no one at any point asked us if everything was ok with our meals. The food though in the whole was nice, my main was a bit tasteless and drowning in sauce but my starter and dessert were delicious and the rest of the people I was with all enjoyed their food apart from the plastic in the dessert

An absolutely wonderful place and staff. My husband and I enjoyed a game of bowling, delicious meal and another game. The music, decor and food was perfect and all added to the atmosphere but all paled into into significance compared to the staff who served and then cared for my husband after a slight injury. Tom and another young lady whose name I didn’t get were so lovely and professional. We will definitely return!

Hidden gem in Morecambe, brilliant friendly staff and good food, visited twice this week as the ‘guys’ wanted to bowl, the eating area is very well decorated and arranged, views from the window seating are good especially when the sun is setting, all in all great visits, thank you

The booths where we sat have a fantastic view over the bay but we were lucky to even get a table after we called and booked in advance only to be told we weren’t booked in on arrival?! The food arrived in good time and was tasty. Reasonably priced and a decent selection on the menu.

We had breakfast here on Easter Saturday. It was eggsellent!!!!!!! This is the fifth time we have had breakfast here and each time it has been great. Its great value, has a great view, great food. The staff were courteous, polite and efficient. All in all excellent value for money and excellent food.

Tried a take away meal tonight very good indeed Arrived on time hot meals - hot with free Tom and Benny's ice cream and other cold items - cold Definitely going to visit the restaurant to eat in next time All in all a pleasant experience Thank you

Visited for my little lads 9th birthday to go bowling and have so tea out. This was our first time and the food was brilliant. The service and prices are very good for the quality of food served.

This place is definitely becoming my go to place. The food is amazing l, my husband and I have been recently together and with friends and the food has been incredible every time. The staff are also really lovely especially Josh. Great choice of food and cocktails and some really great offers on Bowl N Dine. Will be back soon.

Excellent multi purpose venue. Lovely place to have a coffee with an amazing view over the beautiful Morecambe Bay. Excellent Italian food, good service, reasonable prices. Also Bowling Alley, snooker tables, trendy bar - all beautifully decorated. A really good venue.

I went out with a group of six we met up for a birthday decided to try vista, GREAT NIGHT. Its a high class bar, a restaurant and boutique bowling all in one. We all ate and everybody said the same brilliant food and good service, we drank too much as usual this made our bowling even worse but who cares. I spent a lot on drinks before noticing the special offers so look out for what deals they have on.

After bowling we stayed and ate here over Christmas. A family of 4. Two young children. The food and service was good. High quality. Great garlic bread. Good portion sizes too. Would recommend.

We had a problem on Xmas Eve with the service delivery which Colin was eager to resolve quickly. He did and very much to our satisfaction. Well done.

My husband and I decided to give Vista a try. The reception from staff was very good. The space for large parties of guests is also very good. The noise of the bowling alley reduced drastically when we were led to our table. We found a favourite wine, a Californian White Zinfadel. I also had a couple of cocktails (2 of the same for the price of 1), which I was not too impressed with, as mine tasted like cold espresso and had no taste of the vanilla vokda. We did notice that our neighbouring table had gins and they said it was really good. We then decided to try the salt and pepper squid for starters. I was really pleased I could not taste the pepper very much, as I don't really like it too much. I really enjoyed it. We both then had sirloin steaks. Cooked to perfection to our taste (medium rare) with a gogonzola sauce. Divine! I had no room left for dessert, which was a pity, as they had my favourite, tirimasu. Maybe next time. There will be a next time. We are thinking of having a game of pin ball and a meal, which can be served at tables close to the lanes.

First impressions count, and on my first visit to Vista myself and my group were greeted by a lovely lady named Sina, a warm welcome is always appreciated!

food was awesome, staff friendly and polite. Cocktails and drinks were fantastic. everyone should go here!!

Can’t fault our experience at Soul Bowl. Fantastic food, incredible drinks and impeccable service with the most perfect view to top it off. This place truly is an asset to the rejuvenation of Morecambe, it feels like a trendy loft bar in Brooklyn, NY. Also thanks to all the staff and chefs for catering to our difficult dietary needs. I’m excited to see the success of this gem.

Service was quick but the staff member didn't have a clue about what she was serving, couldn't confirm the size of pizzas so drew a circle with her hands. When ordering the pastas you get to choose what pasta you would like, I choose penne and when the food came out it definitely not penne pasta, went to try the pasta dish and it was cold. They heated this up but there was no mention of a sorry. The pizzas were nice.

Visited here last night as a couple. Restaurant not overly busy on arrival but stood waiting nearly 10 minutes before we were seated. I wouldn't mind but several staff walked past us in this time so were aware we were waiting. Ordered our food and drinks. Starters came and they were lovely, however no drinks and had to request twice before they finally brought them. Mains came out and again the food was amazing...faultless! However, no cutlery to eat with and no staff around then to ask for some as the restaurant had now quietened down and they had disappeared. When mains were finished the waitress asked if we would like a dessert menu, we said yes please. No menu came and gave up waiting after some time! No offer of another drink throughout the meal. We couldn't even request the bill, had to get up and pay at bar on way out. If this rating was solely about the food, I would rate it 5+ stars, however the awful and ignorant staff and poor service bring the rating right down. Such a shame.

Deco and furnishings lovely, food also very good. Went for lunch we were the only ones dining, had a wait to take our order, food came in good time, the only bad things I’d say is they got my order wrong with the pasta I got spaghetti instead of panna, I told the staff member and he just laughed saying was it good apart from the pasta shape which I thought wasn’t good, also had to go to bar for own drink, minor issues, good price Would recommend

Visited with husband and two children during the Vintage Festival, and managed to get seats next to the window so we could enjoy a view over Morecambe front. Friendly staff, great view, lovely and clean, and tasty food. Just what was needed. :-)

Came here twice for a meal...pizza's were excellent service was great especially Jayne she is an asset to your company , bowling alley was funky defo worth a visit, me and my family all enjoyed there food and the bowling very welcoming place to be.

With the other bowling alley in Morecambe now being turned into a supermarket, there was obviously a gap in the market.

Beautiful decor and delicious food finished off with bowling. Perfect afternoon.... And the view over the bay was amazing.

Had a lovely meal here after bowling. There were 6 of us, everyone enjoyed their meal. There was a delay with the last meal, but credit to our server she had removed it from the bill because it had been 10 mins behind the other meals, without us even saying anything. She was very accommodating from start so finish. I should have taken her name, but she was a Geordie I think. Service was slow so we didn’t get deserts, but it is very new. Will definitely return. Thanks.

Having visited here on my last trip to Morecambe a few weeks ago where I thoroughly enjoyed the food I was so disappointed this time around, it’s as though everything is from jars and packets. The lasagne was stodgy and dry and had no flavour. The sweets I had last time was delicious but this time it was obviously not the same. I don’t know what has happened, I brought friends with me after telling them how lovely the place was and was so embarrassed by the standard it has dropped to, I shall not be recommending to anyone again and will not be coming here again myself either. Disappointing needs major improvement.

5* for the bowling, 3* for the restaurant, 4* overall. The bowling is great, 10 computer controlled lanes with automatic bumper bars (tell them at the till who needs them). It's all still very new and there's some foosball & pool tables near the lanes.

Very nice decor, no real welcome completely ignored at the bar, not a great start, drinks are expensive, but bottles of wine are reasonable ?

A truly embarrassing Starter came before the main we were asked to have it all together. Tried to re-serve the dried up mains again nearly half hour after we finished starter but surprisingly on 3 of the 4 meals were served ????? Very poor management and very rude and untrained waitress's. Will not be recommending this place

Three of us visited on 5th August and we all decided to have the roast dinner, two adult and one smaller size. The food arrived and was very nicely presented but unfortunately on tasting the food it was found to be cold! The waitress apologised and took all three back to the kitchen. She returned to say the kitchen agreed that it was cold and she couldn’t apologise enough for the issue. She gave us the choice of a free drink or dessert (we chose desserts, which were very nice) and she also gave us a discount off the bill. Our new meals came and were hot and tasty with lovely meat, veggies and Yorkshire pudding, so worth waiting for! Not sure how the problem occurred but it was dealt with swiftly, hence the four stars for the food.

I think that it is a strange mix to have a 10 lane bowling alley linked to an Italian Restaurant. The decor is really good but the staff are young and inexperienced and it shows. If you're expecting a traditional Italian Restaurant then forget it. No real ambience just loud music. The term Italian is a misnomer as essentially it is a fast food operation with burgers etc. The Italian dishes are the basic pasta meals, Bolognese, carbonara for example, with about 6 pizza choices. To be fair the food was basic and edible but at proper Italian Restaurant prices. One of those places that you will either love or hate.

We went for a lovely family reunion. Whereas the food was nice, the starter was disappointing. I had bruschetta, it came looking like micro pizza. No real tomatoes at all. The pasta, the veg pesto was delicious however, and the puddings were great but we were told there wasn’t enough of the one we all wanted to order. Quite unprofessional considering it’s a busy place on the sea front.

We tired the new Vista Soul Bar and Kitchen on the 28th, the decor is very promising with its panoramic views of Morecambe bay and retro look it has the feel of a place that will work well at a seaside resort. It also houses a 10 lane bowling ally so it has the feel of somewhere that has been missing in the town. We booked our table earlier that day and was told that it would be busy when we arrive which was ok by us. My pizza was fine unfortunately my wife’s Chicken Kiev was burnt to a crisp, so we returned it, when it came back the Chicken in Breadcrumbs that came was at least cooked I say Chicken in breadcrumbs because there was no garlic butter in it. We were offed 10% off the bill when we complained. This place has only be open a few weeks so i supposed you can excuse a few teething problems but it seems that they need to sort a few basics out the, waitresses don’t have allocated stations which is why we had at least 4 different ones dealing with us. The dinners on the tables either side of us both had problems with their food and when we finally got the bill our waitress said she was sorry for our problem and that it was stressful having to apologise all the time for the food was wrong or not cooked properly (this shouldn’t be the problem of a young member of staff). We will try this place again in a few weeks time to see if it gets better when we left it was still not busy so i would hate to see how things go wrong when it gets busier.
