Reviews in Manchester

In the past I have been a fan of the one lounge, but was very disappointed after purchasing a £15 ticket on New Years eve to find inside the place was freezing cold so had to keep my coat on all night along with the rest of the people in there, and the cocktail menu had changed from last time and after ordering 2 cocktails which were not very nice at all and no offer of any exchange or recommendation of another cocktail, this place is now very "off " my list of cocktail bar's for future. Very disappointing.

Ignorant staff, cheap alternatives used not local produce - avoid like the plague!!!

I definitely recommend a visit to Sugos. After dining in the restaurant when it was Daniellis I enjoyed the food, however I feel there has been much improvement since the relaunch, from the decor which is fab to the friendly and attentive staff. The food continues to impress, especially the specials menu which usually leaves us all spoilt for choice!! Definitely give it a try!

WOW ! This was such a fantastic visit to - ANCORA - As soon as we walked through the main entrance you could feel the buzz on this bar/restaurant & the marvellous aroma wafting down from the restaurant above was just so inviting. We were just so spoilt for choices on this menu - an incredible array of starters/pasta & pizza/mains/deserts and also daily specials. We had drinks in the bar first then we were taken upto the 1st floor to dine, we were really looked after by efficient staff at every level of our meal, there were all so attentive and jolly in their duties, and it was nice to see that some of the staff members were Italians. It was so refreshing to eat authentic fresh Italian food served in a brilliant atmosphere in Oldham ! I have been to the Manchester - San Rocco establishment before so I knew that the experience would be great. When the bill arrived we were even more impressed with the final cost - for this level of service & menu you would expect to pay a lot more, even double the amount that we paid. We found out that " ANCORA" in Italian means more - we will certainly be having more of this yummy restaurant. MISS BERNADETTE DOLMAN

We have visited this restaurant on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful. The food is excellent and the ambience charming. All the personnel work hard to ensure that patrons have an enjoyable experience and we shall certainly be going there again. Thanks to all concerned.

Went to the Olive Garden last weekend and what an amazing night. This restaurant has an atmosphere you cant find anywhere else. The place is buzzing, the staff are some of the best group of staff i have ever been served by...The head waiter Mimo is such a character and really took great care of us! There is also such a pleasant young man behind the bar who was telling us of his stories in America. Its so nice to go to a restaurant and enjoy the company of the staff...all of them are wonderful! Food is out of this world...cant recommend this place enough.

Best Kebabs in eccles after 1.00am. They do the trick!!!!!

I would highly recommend Sweet Mandarin. A number of friends and I visited for dinner and had a great time. The food was fresh, delicious and probably the best Chinese I've tasted in ages. We ordered the Mabel's Claypot Chicken, Lily's curry, Sweet and Sour Chicken, King Prawn Satay, Mixed Vegetables and Tofu and Wambamboo (Char Sui and Mushrooms). It was good to see that they had Chinese favourites and home recipes on the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. The service was exceptional - friendly and knowledgeable. Sweet Mandarin is in the heart of the Northern Quarter which is a huge plus - its a great place to hang out during the weekend. I will definitely be back soon.

First impressions of Ambiente were good, the restaurant itself authentically decorated and quite comfortable. The staff are polite and friendly. There are plenty of corners to sit and there is a warm fire place too. The tapas served were very nice, we also ordered the meat Paella. The Chorizo tapas was excellent. I thought the paella was average and I've had better at other restaurants, although I like mine with a bit of crispy rice which isn't to everybody's taste. The only downside to the restaurant was the price, at least £15 for 1 portion of Paella. The prices had since gone up, which are different from the website menus.

I had a reservation 5.30 Saturday evening, December 6th. Got there at 5.30 on the dot, place full downstairs. People in front being told they will have to wait 15 mins and told to go to bar for a drink. I said I had a reservation but they said my table was not raedy for 15 mins and to go to bar. I did not want a drink at the packed bar so waited by entrance. Afetr 2 or 3 minutes we were taken upstairs and all of the tables were empty!. I feel as though we were told to go to the bar only so as to get us to spend more money! After ordering food, waited 30 minutes for starter - just tapas. Then waited another half an hour for the amin courses to arrive. Apparently not enough staff in the kitchen to handle a full restaurant. The main courses were OK but only OK. I would say stick to the tapas and not go for the main courses. Out of 10, i would give the experience 2.

Hi we had a a fantastic meal on christmas eve . The menu was brilliant.

Visited Loch Fyne Didsbury Xmas Eve 24 December for a birthday celebration and the meal was absolutely terrible. Restaurant was understaffed had to wait ages for drinks etc. Food was even worse. Ordered a £44 sea food platter "hot and cold", all of which was cold except for the under-cooked mussels. The shellfish was tasteless and of the same consistency as rubber. It seemed some of the shell fish was thawed quickly as the shells were limp and the flesh soggy. Prawns, langoustines and crayfish all had eggs on their underbelly and scallops where still frozen. For an establishment that 'specializes' in seafood I find this unacceptable. We did complain and received a free basic desert but after spending in excess of £140 on food and 1 bottle of wine this was simply not good enough and went home still starving as did not eat the egg laden shellfish. It seems this establishment is just another low quality chain restaurant.

Very disappointing recently. Used to be a regular but the standard of service and quality of food has been slowly getting worse. After the last visit one of our party was given a meat dish, after checking that it was the veggie option he had ordered, and being told it was, he tucked in.....to a chicken rogan josh! This was the final straw for me!

I had the 2nd Set menu here, the starters were very nice and the seafood salad was very spicy and very nice, though I found the main courses were more akin to Chinese cuisine than thai, also the Beef Green Curry was extremely salty.

me and my girlfriend have been and ordered many dishes off the dilshad menu and love everything we have eaten... they do the best peshwari naan i have ever tasted and the staff are second to none... i would recommend anyone to try and keep this the best place you can get a curry in moston... a place like this deserves to be noticed!!!

I visited this restaurant on a first date! I had never tasted thai food previously. It was a lovely cosy warm authentic place, the food was absolutely fabulous, the company wasn't so bad either! The staff were very accommodating and friendly without being pushy and overpowering! I would definitely eat there again, especially if I manage to fix a second date!

We went to the Olive Garden 3rd January,we didn't know what to expect and was greeted with a very full restaurant. Unfortunately there was no where to park so we had to park on the road but it was worth it. All the staff are very friendly,the place is clean and bright. We ordered and was taken to our table,the food was fresh and delicious. The pizza's are so thin and crisipy,but very big for just one person. The staff really know how to make someones special day special as a few people were encouraged to stand on the table and dance. We will definitely be going back very soon,I booking for Valentines day now as it was very busy when we went so maybe you should book well in advance. The prices where very reasonable.There are a lot of vegetarian option and it must be one of the best Italian restaurants around.

We have been going to the Indian Ocean for many years and it really is the best in the north west!We went on New years Eve with some friends and we had a fabulous night-the food as usual was excellent,the service first class,entertainment very good and the fireworks were fantastic-well done Indian Ocean!!Happy New Year to you all!!x
