Excellent place.. am ashamed to say have lived near this restaurant for 5 years and only tried it couple of months ago. What a pity. It was excellent. Could do with more staff tho; one poor waitress was running round after a full floor of people. She did brilliantly though. Am going back!

Service: comical. The waiter was rude and got every single order wrong. Food: poor. I ordered a fillet steak medium rare and was presented with a sirloin steak folded in half and well done to within and inch of its life. Not cheap either at £17. Ambience: we were seated in a conservatory with very bright lighting and it was very noisy. Cost: very overpriced for the standard of the food and restaurant in general.

This place is awesome - I now go there every day. In fact, why am I telling you this ? I want to be able to get a seat inside. It's awful, don't go there under any circumstances !!!

The best chip shop in the entire universe!

Can't believe no one has commented earlier. Have been to this restaurant on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed. My friends celebrate my birthday every year there and this weekend is no exception. (my 40th and my other friends 39th) Food is great and the atmosphere is fantastic. Waiters are easy on the eye and is always a plus point for the girls. Can recommend everything on the menu.

This restaurant has consistently improved over the years we have lived in Standish, a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the quality of the food set against the prices is excellent.

the food was delish!

My food came out cold twice in the same evening!!

Having visited Akbars twice, the second time to confirm my first thoughts, I decided I would definitely be not going again. Although the food was OK, the level of noise,(very loud and echoey and called to your table by a tannoy system ) the extremely long wait for a table(you can not book) and the overall ambiance of a cattle market was a little off putting to say the least!!!! I find it hard to believe that anyone would wish to eat in these ungainly circumstances. I like to be able to hear what my friends are saying when eating out and don't want a waiter wiping the table with a dishcloth until I have left the premises! Oh well, call me old fashioned!

went there last month was awful, food, atmosphere and hygiene.

A really nice cosy place with a great intimate atmosphere, good for couples and small groups. The food is really delicious and all freshly prepared. Me and my husband go all the time but make sure you book well in advance as it's really busy.

We entered the Mersey Farm and were immediately welcomed by a member of staff who explained the new style of service. The decor is very contemporary with lots of light wood and comfortable furniture. Our waitress was attentive and polite. The food was of a good standard and reasonably priced. We will visit again with our friends.

The decor does not do The Kakoli justice. The food and service are excellent and a place I would recommend.

(3/10) I chose San Carlo because I wanted a quiet meal out in an upmarket classy restaurant. San Carlo certainly seemed to fit this bill and we all found the food to be really fantastic. Unfortunately though, the evening was spoilt when the staff found out it was my birthday and 3 or 4 waiters lined up to sing happy birthday to me whilst I was enjoying my quiet meal out. To be fair, If I had wanted this kind of cheesy circus act, I would have gone to TGI Fridays where this would have been expected. Call me miserable but to be honest, for people that want a quiet meal out and don't like the lime light this gesture is truly unwelcome. Mr Milne 05/09/07

This is without doubt the worst restaurant in Wigan. The Staff are a bunch of ignorant French children, who probably didn't even come to the country legally. They are lazy, stuffily dressed, and throw tantrums whenever they were called over. I complained to the manager, and he just laughed. I had never felt so disgusted in all my life. The food was good, but the waiters ruined the evening, with their childish resentment of having to actually work.

I've been to Jitrada several times now, I know people who's favourite restaurant it is and there's good reason. The food is amazing, in fact my taste buds are going just thinking about it. The ribs in plum sauce are perhaps the finest thing i've ever eaten and the rest of the food is as good. We went to Thailand on our honeymoon and I didn't have a meal as good while I was out there, so praise in deed. Go and have the ribs, the duck spring role and the pad thai and you will be extremely happy

We had a very enjoyable lunch, the food was far superior to that served by any of my local restaurants/pubs. We will certainly return again and also recommend it to our friends.Thankyou

After reading the recommendations of La Salsa thought I would give it try. On the evening of our visit a large party were also eating, i think they struggled to accommodate this ,as myself and my partner were left waiting . Having said this , they did redeem the slow service by the really fresh tasty food, the atmosphere was friendly, overall I would recommend a visit. If a Tapas takes your fancy give La Salsa a go. Lets support local small restaurants , rather than the mass produced versions claiming to be Tapas.
