Reviews in Manchester

This is a vegetarian restaurant owned by a non vegetarian for non vegetarians. The menu is very boring and any self respecting vegetarian could cook up a meal twice as good for quarter of the price. It's saving grace is that the staff are absolutely lovely and the service is excellent.

The atmosphere and background music was relatively loud, which could be interpreted as "lively". The waiters were all very friendly and helped to create a positive atmosphere. While the food tasted very good, I thought it very much lacked in quantity, especially when considering the relatively high price. My main course came in a tiny portion of one small slice of nut loaf, and a small cup full of mashed potato - that was it!

brilliant food go there every week.. i would recommend it to everyone!!!!!!! 10/10

I first went to Ning for the first time on 19th February and were very impressed with both the food and service, excellent on both counts. One of my friends who came along has since contacted me requesting another visit - it obviously made an impression on her!

I dined in grill on the alley for my birthday last week and had an amazing time! the service was friendly but unintrusive, and the food was delicious! the experience surpassed my expectation and I will definitely be returning!

My girlfriend and I tried Try Thai for the first time for an anniversary celebration. It's a really lovely atmosphere, staff are really friendly and the food is amazing - the best I have had outside of Thailand (maybe even as good as in Thailand). By far best Thai restaurant in the city centre.

Deceptively modern on the inside, the Budda Lounge offered attentive service, tasty well presented food, if a little on the high side for Ramsbottom. A huge menu (possibly too much choice) with Cantonese and Thai favourites and more.... We opted for a platter of Thai appetisers followed by a curried lamb dish, the meat was so tender and delicately seasoned. One note to the owners, the smell of plumbing as we entered was a little offputting! We shall return again to try out the chinese menu next time.

The first time we dined here, we were very impressed by the relaxed ambience, stylish decor and service. The food was excellent and offered good value for an evening meal - the pork belly was delicious. We returned for lunch a couple of weeks later after shopping in Manchester, choosing to support our local hostelry however the story at this time was quite different. The service was amateurish and haphazard, the table (and floor) was covered with the remnants from the previous diners, of which we had to ask to have removed. I ordered a chicken Caesar salad which was tasty but at £7.95 represented a meagre portion; I took issue with the manager who said I should have notified them when it arrived and offered no recourse; I even gave him a solution to knock a couple of pounds of the bill to keep a local customer loyal and happy. His response? "If I knocked money off every time customers complained we'd never make any money!" I was angry with his lack of regard to the issue at hand and thought that the owners should be aware of this. I emailed them and was told it would be investigated; they replied some time after and advised me that as a result there would be a starter portion and a main portion on the menu. I applauded them for this however I asked how they planned to deal with my plight. I received no reply. Until I began receiving spam emails from them that is....... We will not be returning here as they do not value their customers.

My partner and I often visit the Black Ladd. This Sunday we had an excellent meal there, as usual. Rump steak cooked rare side of medium: perfect. Chips the best this side of 1950! Excellent food, and wine list. Lovely atmosphere, friendly and warm. Best value in the area.

the food here is delicious :) the service is great and the manager is extra kind.I had the sashimi boat and it was the freshest fish i ever tasted in my life.

I just had a christening party at The Waterside (01.03.09) and Jo and her staff made it run perfectly. The food was out of this world, I had 60 guests and each plate of food was served hot and all my guests complimented the quality of food. Even the children's meals looked delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

uooo yes it was lovely the food was just a nice portion for my big fat belly and i didn't eat 4 like two days thank you i will be coming bk to fill my tank arse again soon x

Jalfrezi in Bramhall is excellent. The staff are polite and helpful. The Indian cuisine is the best my family and I have had with such great service.

Ocean Treasure is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester, I find it has the most authentic and original Cantonese dishes outside M/C China Town. The Dim sum are freshly hand made. They also have entertainment every Friday nights. Since Jan 2009 I've seen the Cheeky girls, Cleo and Andy Scott Lee perform and I heard Chico and Rowetta will be on in June.

Attentive staff, great atmosphere, lovely food... cannot really fault it. There are aspects which I suppose could put people off, for example (as explained on the menu), "as we want to ensure the freshness of your food, some dishes may arrive before others... the aim is, don't wait, just tuck in and share... enjoy the Wagamama experience." That said, however... this really is part of the experience, and in no way is it a case of being rushed in and rushed out, as I've read elsewhere online. Plus, you rarely have to wait more than a few seconds to be seated, and ordering is dead easy as everything is numbered on the menu. The drinks menu is a little limited, I found, but overall there really isn't a bad thing which can be said about the place. The prices may seem a little steep on first glances, but the portions are huge and the food really is delicious. Last time we visited, our server had trouble totting up our bill as a few things had been jotted down wrong, which they acknowledged and knocked a few quid off... plus we spotted a couple of famous faces amongst the diners. Oh, and one last thing... if you struggle with the chopsticks, do not be afraid to ask for a fork!

We wanted to try something different and after reading about it's 3 course meal for a tenner we thought we'd give it a go. We were very pleasantly surprised, the food choices would suit any tastes and the actually food was fantastic, the portions were a good size and everything tasted fresh, this is a definite must if you want a really nice italian meal. I had the Stroganoff and the beef was really tender, my sister has the lemon salmon and loved it and my mum had the chicken which was huge!! We were so full afterwards we could hardly move. We were also being greedy and had a garlic bread to share and coffees afterwards and it was still only £15 each, bargain!!

had a lovely night out at jewel in the crown. food delicious, staff polite, beautiful interior very clean

Great place. Great food. Exceptional since the long awaited refurbishment. However very recently they've put energy saving bulbs allover and its like being back in the office! Not good for a romantic candlelit night out! Tell them to change
