Reviews in Manchester

Went here for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant is comfy and looks very good, modern but comfortable. I like the way the restaurant is open to the bar area giving a relaxed feeling to dining here. We were welcomed warmly and drinks followed quickly. On ordering my wife had steak and I had lobster, we thought it only fitting to try both! The steak was very tender and cooked expertly. The lobster was great. I had it grilled and it really was very enjoyable. This restaurant is excellent value for money and of a very high standard. The restaurant staff were all very efficient and friendly, chatting easily with all of the customers. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner and will be returning when next in Manchester!!

Stayed at this fantastic hotel on friday night with my wife and we were both very impressed! On arrival we were welcomed and checked in effeciently and quickly. The room was a mix of modern and original features with high ceilings. It was very comfortable with every "mod-con" you could need really. We decided on lunch at the MC Cafe Bar

Ate at this great restaurant on friday night for the first time and we were not disappointed!! Everything I had heard and read about this place was spot on. Firstly, this was one of the busiest restaurants I have ever been to, a good sign!! The number of staff working ensured that although they were busy they were never rushed and someone was always on hand to pour wine or clear empty plates. It really was very well organised chaos! The food was fantastic! I ordered "Pesce Veneziana" for a starter which was very reasonably priced at £8.95. It came and was a huge pan full of scallops, clams, king prawns, mussels and fish in a very tasty tomato broth on a piece of bread soaked in the sauce. This could easily have been a main meal but was exeptional quality and so I ate it alll!! Main course was King prawn spagettini and a lasagne for the wife. Both were excellent quality and very tasty indeed. All washed down with a Chianti Reserva, this was a great experience and I can't wait to go again!!

My friends and I visited the Rivington Pub and Grill on Saturday 12th January 2013. The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant and in fact couldn't do enough to help us even though the venue was extremely busy and we were late! The menu is extensive and varied and reasonably priced. Our food arrived quickly and was cooked or prepared to an excellent standard. We had a perfect evening in lovely surroundings and we will definitely visit again soon. I would highly recommend the Rivington Pub and Grll!

Great food and wine, lovely and clean. Barstaff were really polite and courteous. Look forward to returning real soon!

My friend and I wonderful meal last night at the grill. The service and food was supberb.We will definitely return.

Amazing, freshly cooked food. Varied menu, changing specials board, and really lovely staff. What else could you want in a bistro/café? Truly a great experience every time.

Absolutely love this place. The food is some of the best I have tasted, the service is always with a smile (the waiters have more sauce than the food!) the decor is fab after the refurbishment and there is always a great atmosphere!Went there 3 times in one week and proud of it!

I visited your establishment this evening 8th January 2013 with a friend. We haven't visited for about a year but the food was an excellent quality

All the comments seem to be compimentary. However, During December My wife and I ordered fillet steak. I'm not normally a beefeater but on this occasion I was persuded to try the steak. What a disappointment , Tough and overcooked. When I compained I was told I would only be charged dor one meal rather than take my complaint to the chef who I was told is rather sensitive to criticism. In contrast, my birthday celebration at the Church was excellent . All 16 of us were well looked after. thank you especially the chef

Hello, I think the Punjab is fantastic! The food was delicious! The service was excellent! Definitely would recommend it! You have to make a visit!

Fabulous food. Owner Darum, couldn't do enough for us. Never had Turkish wine before, but it was absolutely gorgeous! I'll be back!

My family and I came to Ashfield on News Years Eve to the family buffet. Firstly we were disappointed that the menu did not cater for children especially not having any ice cream as all children like. Secondly we have been informed that you were advertising on the web site half price for that evening we were very upset to hear this especially as we had spent a lot of money that night. Also I had been three times in December.

Just been to this retaurant and won't be going again! Had to wait 25 mins for our order to be taken despite not being busy. The staff were surly and unhelpful and the food left a lot to be desired. The chef seemed to have a passion for adding handfuls of sliced raw garlic to everything. To top everything off the card machine declined everyones pin numbers putting those of us who don't carry cash at risk of having no means of paying the bill!

Fantastic food, happy & friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and nice decor. Would thoroughly recommend to all, couples, families, everyone.

Have been here on two occasions once with the kids & once without, both times myself & my wife found plenty to choose from & the choice & value for money of the kids menu was great too. My wife was particularly pleased with the bartenders recommendation of a sloe gin cocktail as well! Look forward to heading back soon!

This new branch of the well above average chain only opened on December and consequently on Christmas Eve we were the only patrons dining when we arrived around 1.30pm and we were the last out of the door before it closed at 5pm.There were five in our party, including two kids, and we were seated in a circular booth in the centre of the restaurant which afforded us a great view of the blue lit bar.The design/layout is excellent and the lack of any festivity/ambience was more than compensated for by the privilege of being able to enjoy our surroundings without the usual racket expected at this time of year and to savour the aroma of newness in the wood and leather that pervaded the room until of course our meals were served.The service was naturally attentive but not intrusive; the quality of the food was superb and as for value we were impressed that Prezzo were accepting Tesco Clubcard vouchers throughout December. Thus we only paid for two bottles of a lovely Chianti which was reasonably priced at £18.This venue well exceeded our expectations and we have already returned once for a much less extravagant lunch which was equally enjoyable.We're very pleased that we no longer have to traipse out to Media City to enjoy some quality Italian fayre.

Excellent food at a good price. Not overfacing. Staff are polite and helpful. Good night out.
