Reviews in Cheshire

Food was absolutely gorgeous and there was a good portion on each plate! You could tell that a few members of staff may have been new but everyone who served us was lovely and they couldn't have done enough to help and make our meal enjoyable. A few niggles was that the waitress brought us two peppers instead of salt and pepper, one plate/bowl had a few chips in around the edges and underneath and that one plate didn't feel like it had been cleaned properly underneath. But it didn't stop us from having a good time! The toilets were clean and well presented despite it being so busy. Will definitely return at some point in the new year, well done Elma's for running a smooth working team!

We had a birthday family meal at the restaurant. The food and service were excellent and the birthday girl was made to feel special, which was a lovely touch. Would definitely go there again for a special occasion.

Lovely night, lovely food, extremely hospitable can't wait to go back

First time visiting the restaurant,but had heard good reviews. Staff very friendly and attentive.food varied ,interesting and very enjoyable. We felt the booths to the rear were a little too cramped,but the staff managed to get us a nice table towards the front of the restaurant. Service and food very good and of high quality . Thankyou.

Perfect anniversary meal. Lovely dips to start and a fabulous seafood paella. to follow - we didn’t have room for pud. Attentive but unobtrusive service in a great setting.

In my opinion this is a little gem, the food has always been really good here, the service is always fantastic. If you're in Macclesfield and you want somewhere to eat it's totally worth going. It's very good value for money.

Great food, great service, great venue! All of our staff thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas meal. We will definitely return. Thank you to the whole team.

Took my husband for his birthday with some trepidation as he loves large food portions and hates picking his food!!! I needn't have worried.......we both loved the restaurant and the food on offer!!! Good sized portions...can certainly recommend the garlicky chicken...and lovely attentive waiting staff and management!!!

Really excellent meal at Salt bar on 15th December. Took some friends who live outside Macc and they were most impressed.

I always enjoy the food service and ambiance (gorgeous walls of flowers) at Lilac Cottage. The food is of high quality, the menu is broad so you will be spoilt for choice, the foods are made to order so are very fresh. The service was friendly and attentive and our needs were anticipated. We chose the house red and house white wines and were not disappointed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and look forward to dining there again.

The food and atmosphere were absolutely brilliant on Saturday evening. Couldn’t fault the staff, they were all so friendly and helpful, can’t wait to go back soon

Perfect venue for a Christmas meal - excellent food, cosy atmosphere and attentive service, Thankyou Jo and team.

used the new online booking option to book the table (worked a treat and even issued a reminder!). We had the sharing platter and the chocolate cake, which were all excellent as usual

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed a really lovely meal here recently. Service was outstanding and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. The restaurant had a nice vibe with fabulous decor. It manages to be modern yet cosy at the same time. Absolutely gets a 10 out of 10 from us and we can't wait until we meet here for lunch again. Definitely our new 'go to'.

Amazing evening meal with friends. Flawless service, brilliant food and great atmosphere. Second time we’ve been and looking forward to returning.

Absolutely fabulous day at Bistro M'agrada. I had mussels and they honestly were the best mussels I've ever eaten. Lovely atmosphere, extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming staff and delicious food.

Great restaurant with excellent food and great service. Thank you for yet another lovely meal.
