Fresh food chef-prepared (less cost than the usual bland portion-controlled pub food) daily specials, outside seating with toddler-proof fencing, dog friendly, clean with a welcoming, traditional atmosphere. Real ales at W*therspoons prices during the day. Takes me back to the pub Golden Age!

We ate at Amaya last month after receiving numerous recommendations. On arrival we were pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a familiar face - as the co-owner also has a share in Silsila in Cheadle Hulme (one of our favourite indian restaurants). We immediately knew the food would be great. Book a table you won't be disappointed!

I am appauled at the lack of professionalism with this company. We met to discuss menus for my wedding, and after an hour of discussing things, he left saying that he would email a quote within 2 days and no later. After a week of nothing I emailed asking when the quote would be ready. His PA replied saying he's very busy & is sure he'd get back to me soon. A week after that, still nothing. I emailed again; nothing. I was quiet clear that we didn't have a large budget so perhaps they decided that we weren't worth their custom. Very disappointed. I also had some of their food at a friends wedding a month again and it was very average - definitely not worth the prices they are charging.

This was our first experience here. We were using a groupon voucher which stated that champers cocktails were included, there was no choice, it was a simple buck fizz, very disappointing. The chateaubriand was delicious, can not fault that but not once in the time we were eating did anyone come and ask if everything was ok with the meal and even when collecting the plates not even a smile or word from the waitress was evident. We were sat right in front of bar where we listened to drinkers swearing and speaking loudly due to the amount they had drank, and that came from their mouth not mine. When finally asking for the bills was astonished to see that they had charged a gratuity of £11 which was inapropriate

Really enjoyed Ciao Baby on a Thurs evening - Antoine made us very welcome for my sons 15th birthday. Didnt enjoy the previous named Baroccos. This restaurant has been re organised and redecorated to a very high standard, sectioned into beautiful private areas yet still part of a great atmosphere. And the food wasnt bad either!!! Would highly recommend.

Superb food at good prices. Incredibly tasty. Takeaway service works very well too. We tend to have about 6 or 7 starters to share instead of a main. Lebanese tapas!

I have been to Tapios on many occassions both for food and to enjoy the ambience and entertainment , especially on a Friday night. I am off there again next Friday with a group of friends , for food and drink. local and friendly with meditteranean surroundings, you can almost imagine you are in warmer climes . :-0

My wife and I have visited this establishment several times over the past 15 years,as "The Ridgeway" we always ate well and often took my elderly mother who also enjoyed both the food and the ambience. Under the new name and management,she would have wanted to live there. The whole hotel is clean and comfortable,the bowling green is well maintained and the service is EXCELLENT,(please ignore the spoilers elsewhere on these pages, the food is perfectly cooked,beautifully presented truly value for money. No we did not go for the cheapest nor the most expensive,just mid range,I can assure you that this place is not only worth a visit, but a return visit and further visits to follow.. We have no vested interests in this establishment,but I just felt that the negative comments should be repudiated. Incidentally,the person who was "refused"forgot to say that the man who did so was "foreign" and to him and all the staff I can only say mille grazzi.

We went to this restaurant 2/6/2013....we were the last customers of the night and I have to say the staff were so lovely..I asked what they would recommend I had a chicken Nasser it was amazing fresh herbs the starters to were lovely.....last night we stayed into watch tv so ordered the takeaway for two.....we set the table and sat down to have out takeaway . I expected it to be not as tasty as our first visit.....I was wrong again the food was lovely ,my husband does not care for Asian food.......but we plan to visit the Balti Brasserie as often as we can.

We've been to Andiamos on a number of occasions now and never been dissapointed. When visiting restaurants I sometimes think, "I could cook this at home for a fraction of the price" but this is not the case at Andiamos, the food is top notch. Staff are friendly and they treat the customers with respect in that they don't rush you with courses to get you out of the door. I can highly reccommend the Tournedo rossini, at £24 its well worth the money. Monday to Friday they do a choice of set menus and so taking the family for a treat is not going to break the bank.If I had to find any critisism it would be that they need to change the chairs in the main part of the restaurant, they're just too straight backed for me and not very comfortable, I can only presume its a space saving thing. Apart from that I can't really fault it. I will be going there again!!

Worst food I have ever eaten, I was given Chicken tikka massala with cashew nut in and when I asked for a refund/ replacement meal I was told that they had better thimgs to do than deal with the customer service. I would never recommend the food to anyone. The customer service was shocking. The time befoee this I was given the wrong curry completely.

I took my son for his birthday treat and we both enjoyed our meal so much that can't wait to come back and try again thank you very much .

What a find Due Fratelli is!! Booked a family birthday dinner for 8 on a May Bank holiday and had a fabulous evening!. The restaurant feels authentic Italian, the food was superb, everyone enjoyed their choice from a vast menu of starters, main and dessert - we even had a birthday cake!. The Service was PERFECT, friendly, attentive - really couldn't ask for more - a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you so much :)

lighting was very romantic , food was exceptional , wine a little expensive but good.

Authentic little italian venue, felt like i was on holiday, great atmosphere, Frank and Sacha were very welcoming and the food was gorgeous, especially the tiramisu, fab espresso and excellent value for money...

Really Nice Food. Love the sweet and sour chicken. The chicken is so soft. The salt and pepper chicken was the best Ive ever had. Definitely reccommend!

I called in this afternoon,22/5/13, for some information and menus as I am organising a retirement 'do'. Your employers completely ignored me and walked away in case they had to do any work. Needless to say I will not be going back again. Very disappointed.

Never been disappointed at Mr Ali's , food excellent , service , great , and very reasonable prices , would highly recommend
