Reviews in Manchester

There's no air-conditioning and it's all smoking so if that's not for you, stay clear. The bar and toilets are looking tired and in need of a makeover. Food quality went downhill during 2006 and after 3 consecutive bad meals I stopped eating there. I'm still a regular drinker there but be careful of the drinks. It's top price drinks on Canal Street for spirits and they are the cheap generic brands. On the upside, the staff are friendly and the place had a good atmosphere. They don't let in hen parties and the music level allows for conversations. It's one of the few bars on Canal Street that seems to maintain a consistent clientele. Once they get back on their game it could be a great place again and I?l hopefully be back eating there.

Haven't been here for over 10 years and just as good then as it is now. Surprised to walk in and get a table Saturday evening without booking. Food very good especially Aromatic Crispy Duck and service A1.

Valentinos is really nice. I recommend it to everyone!

This Indian takeaway is by far the nicest takeaway I have ever been to. They have a wide selection of foods, coffee whilst you wait and the staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone. Keep up the good work.

I took my mum here for Sunday Lunch as a birthday treat and was very impressed. The service was friendly and very good. The food was excellent across the board - especially the Sticky Toffee Pudding. I would definitely go again.

I have wanted to try this place for ages and I was not disappointed. It's not the easiest place to find though. I had a range of tapas and my mum had the creamed chicken main course - both were excellent. I especially liked the Tortilla Espanola which was the best I've had outside Spain. There was a nice atmosphere there too. I would definitely go again.

A lovely little restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. Ordered a Thai Green Curry and honestly, it's the best I've ever had by a long shot. Will be frequenting this great place as often as I can.

I go to Giovanni? quite often been around 4 or 5 times now and it gets better and better each time

what can i say>? this place just makes me a very happy man.. i bring all my girlfriends her..in turn.. not all at same time ho ho.. they so impressed they want to marry me.. i wish. no, on a more serious note { i do bring my dates here} this has to be the best restaurant i have been to, and i'm quite the connoisseur when it comes to eating. food fantastic, great service not to mention the pretty waterfall, fish and little foot bridge. romantic to say the least.

Visited here with my husband and a friend as it was one of the few places open on a Monday night. The food was OK but the decor and ambience were sorely lacking ~ to be honest it felt like a conference room ~ Big, White and Blocky with a style that came straight from the nearest Ikea. It was that empty (there was our table of 3 and a table of 2 in at 8pm) that we felt we were in the waiters way. Other than that the food was as mentioned of good quality, well priced and there was plenty of it!

Food was very good, though rather sweeter than expected from previous thai experiences. Felt that it was rather expensive and service was rather lacklustre and with the wrong food brought at one point. Wouldn't actively go there again as there are plenty of better restaurants in Manchester.

Very good restaurant. Nice to go somewhere where big steaks and cigars are the done thing. One or two others suggested it should be non-smoking, perhaps they could go to some non-smoking restaurants (there are plenty) rather than making puritanical rants about how everywhere should be designed just for them. They would have enjoyed Hitler's company, the first militant anti-smoker.

Great snacks and sandwiches, very quick service with the option to eat in. You must try their fab breakfasts, really are superb! Becoming a regular thing at weekends for us!!

Ate at Room last week and found it to be a very pleasant experience. It's quite an upmarket place, to be expected given the location, but food is well presented, with reasonable portions i.e. not full after the starter at reasonable prices. Majority of main course dishes at £15 and all desserts at £5. Clientele were a bit brash but you can't fault the restaurant for that.

Fantastic once again! service superb, food mouth watering! wine went down far to quickly but that was my fault! The wine list again gets better with every visit, so to does the menu. Keep doing what you are doing best! Dont let me down! See you very soon. Mr T. Baker

its was good overall really

My mouth is watering just at the thought of this restaurant. The best curry restaurant in Manchester! A great range of curries from around the world. Each dish has its own distinct flavour and tastes deliciously home made. Great veggie options - love the bananas, okra and Sri Lankan lentils.

My no.1 choice of curry house in Manchester for the last 4 years! The quality of the food, the meat in particular, is absolutely first class, and is the most important thing to me in a decent curry. The sauces seem to get better year after year too. It's also superbly run and is deservedly busy every time I return.
