Wow! This place is a hidden little gem!
The service is excellent, the place is lovely and the food is to die for! Had my very first experience of oysters, pure and cooked, as part of the seafood platter for two and words cannot express how amazing the food was! Enjoyed it so much that we have a table booked again this week � The best place for fresh, wonderfully prepared seafood by far!
What a find!!! So desperate for a quality meal...and this restaurant did not disappoint. Found it on the Internet...and it so lived up to its reviews. Amazing menu...attentive staff...lovely ambiance...and a meal cooked by a very exceptional chef!!! An uplifting experience. ..highly recommend it! X

You won't be disappointed
Just come home from a meal at the Forge, delish food, good price, fantastic staff,great atmosphere....loved the place� Cant believe I've lived in Southport for 40 years without never being!! Will 100% come back. Thank you �
What a diamond in the rough! I was rather worried when we turned into a little side alley, but who knew such an amazing restaurant was hidden there! The mussels in white wine sauce where tremendous and the seafood platter was just delicious. I definitely need to go back to try everything else this place has to offer.
Just a fab place! The service is really excellent and the food is to die for! I was feeling rather hungry so ordered the mixed grill - I couldn't fit it all in. Everything on the plate was cooked to perfection. Thank you Forge! See you soon
My Husband an I found this place via google an we were so pleased we did, 5* is not enough to award this place, Clint the waiter was great an the fillet steak we both had was out of this world, will definitely visit again when next in Southport, thank you for a lovely evening.
We were nine, we were very late but they accommodated us, the food was prepared and served very quickly and it was excellent .
Would not hesitate to recommend both for quality and price.

1st class food, fillet steak that melts in your mouth. I have been going here for years and food has always been excellent. I rate it 5 star x<3 x
Thank you for our beautiful food today for grandmas 80th Birthday, we will definitely be back. Fab food and lovely service, staff couldn’t do enough for us xxx
This is a real find,it's down a side alley and it is well worth a visit,the service was excellent,the food was cooked to order and it was of a very high standard, it is not expensive and really worth a visit,
Brilliant Food and excellent customer service. Highly impressed. We had the recommendation to try you from our bed and breakfast, Vale House. We would not have found the restaurant otherwise, as it is down a fairly dark street. We would recommend this restaurant and will visit when we are next in the area.
The best moules I think I've ever had then a Thai monk fish curry to follow, the service was superb and the food delicious and plenty of it, would recommend visiting to everyone, I hope it won't be long before I go again
Was there last night Friday, service was great, food just amazing, 13 of us, everyone loved it, would definitely recommend it
Excellent restaurant tucked away behind Southport market. Food great, staff great, our table waiter was very good. 10/10
First visit for a birthday meal, food was gorgeous, excelent service, would definitely recommend
A fabulous hidden gem. Tucked away in Queen Anne St, this is a busy watering and feeding hole. Great welcome, great atmosphere and great staff. Never been before, but recommended - not at all disappointed. Massive menu, wide range of fare. Offered "Buffalo Steaks" "what? Real buffalo? Bison?" yes was the reply. Beautiful flavour but even rare - as tough to chew as a flip-flop. The home made Apple Pie & Custard - brilliant. Interesting decor. Loud, heaving near the bar, brilliant service. A worthy tip. Street parking in the town centre.
Great for lunch. I've been twice now for lunch and both times it's been very good. The lunch special is excellent. Go for the fish they cook it well, I've not tried steaks but if you can cook fish, steak is a doddle. Recommended.
Fish and sea food best in southport. 5 star sea food
The food here is beautifully cooked and equally well presented. The staff on the whole are very attentive, although the approach varies depending on the individual. Very tasty meals and a nice wine. My only small criticism is the seating. We were at in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by other tables with people - customers and staff - walking around us and occasionally bumping into me. Not very intimate. I wanted to ask to move, but my partner wouldn't let me! We'll certainly try this restaurant again.
Very nice place to enjoy a romantic dinner or family meal. Nice surroundings with attentive staff but most of all excellent food presented with style. The wine was top quality. We never tried the dessert so, can't comment on those. But all in all a great experience.
Had the most amazing meal tonight one of the best I have ever had started with goats cheese tart then had a wonderful mixed fish dish and veg then had cheese cake service was fantastic menu lovely setting lovely would defiantly go again
The food here is lovely we have been coming here for 14 years & the food has been excellent all the time. The staff are very friendly & it is a great place to eat.
Nice food. Hard to find, tucked down a back street, but worth seeking out.
Excellent in every way. Attentive staff with a friendly way without being over powering. The food was very good. It is tucked out of the way but worth searching out. Portion sizes good, we both had fish cakes. Fresh fish was really good and the steak and ale pie was the best I've ever had. Wish I'd had room for a dessert because they looked great. Very reasonably priced lunch offers..
My girlfriend and myself travelled up from Cardiff for a spa weekend.
Happened to come across this restaurant which turned out to be, by far, the best highlight of our weekend! Food is fantastic, service is flawless and prices are more than affordable. Not a combination you get very often. Plan on revisiting.
Strongly Recommend!
Beautiful food served in traditional setting .
Generous portions and amazing quality and service .
Lovely for carnivores, my husband loves the ribs, the fish is so fresh .
From fish pie to oysters sublime .
For me the only place to eat in Southport just wish it was open till 3pm for lunch 👏
Great puds if you have room and Irish coffee!
Excellent value for a first class lunch. Three courses of generous portions for £12.95 can't be beaten. Good choice of dishes served by friendly staff. Shall be returning soon.
Excellent food and service. A lovely evening with friends. Would certainly recommend
