Reviews in Darwen

Went here for Sunday lunch over the weekend. I dine out on a regular basis and will travel a distance for a good restaurant - I cannot believe that this restaurant is on my doorstep and I have only only just found out about it. The food was excellent and the beef was memorable for all the right reasons. The service was friendly and hospitable. The restaurant design is very stylish - a complete contrast to next door. My only small critiscm was that the red wine was slightly on the cold side other than night we had a perfect Sunday with friends and I look forward to my next visit.

We (there were 4 of us) went on a Sunday evening at about 5:15pm it was not very busy, the service was fast they came and seated us as soon as we arrived; the staff were all very pleasant. Having not been before we were not aware of how the system worked so as we looked at the menu we saw that people on other tables were ordering about 3-4 dishes each, so we picked out about 4 dishes each, my daughter who was a bit apprehensive about the food ordered what she recognised ( i.e. chicken wings, meatballs). The order came in about 5 minutes and it was all very hot and you could tell that it had all been freshly made (we had white fish in batter and it was still sizzling) all the other things we ordered were very nice and so we all picked at each others dishes, I had ordered roast potatoes in a spicy sauce, and when I came to get them my daughter had eaten most of them. After we had polished off the whole lot the waiter came and gave us the menu back to look at and we then picked other dishes, some we had not yet tried and some of the same (I got 2 lots of the potatoes this time). I do believe that we could have picked again but by that time we were all full. For drinks we had a jug of sangria, and a total of 4 cokes and also 2 pints of larger. And there were also 2 chocolate cakes. The bill came to £67, we did have a bit of a problem with the bill (they charged us £11.95 for the buffet, which is the Saturday night price) but I will take that as a genuine mistake, after we pointed it out they changed it. All in all it was a very nice meal and we will be going back again, but the only problem is that you could not go here every week as with only 40 items on the tapas menu and with 4 of you going you would soon have gone though the whole lot.

The restaurant is only a short walk away from clubs and the pubs of Bolton,but in a good place as not to be disturbed by the crowds on a weekend.There are a couple of side streets and car parks close by to park on. There is a large selection of foods to choose from on the menu, both meat and vegetarian.I particularly like the fish dishes and pasta dishes. The one set price is to eat as much as you want and as long as this is not taken advantage off, you are fine. You can order desserts and coffees at a reasonable price and you will not be disappointed. There is a nice wine menu and the house wines are lovely also number 13 the rose wine is so easy to drink.Not forgetting the sangria which is served by the glass or pitch. They are currently extended upstairs where there is a separate room which when finished will be ideal for families or parties etc.

The location of this restaurant is its only downfall, however please do not let this put you off as the food is excellent. My partner and I decided to try La Salsa as we both love tapas and am sure we will be returning soon. The attraction was the price if im honest which was £7.95 per person for as many tapas as you can eat between 3pm and 7pm, and sometimes this can reflect on the standard of the food. I have to say that the food was delicious, extremely fresh and tasty. We were able to order up to four tapas each at a time and we eventually had 12 between us which included bread and olives. The portion sizes were just enough to share between two and the atmosphere was lovely as the candle on our table was lit as we sat down. This restaurant is best suited to couples and groups who would like a light meal as a start to their night out!

5 stars for Lasalsa Restaurant in bolton. I been spain few times but honestly i have not had so tasty tapas else where and the price is just peanuts but the quality of food and the management is second to none. will recommend. ++++ .

no complaints for this restaurant. go occasionally, food is excellent! brilliant for special occasions. staff are very friendly which makes your meal so much better! i'd recommend this restaurant to anyone

Enjoyed a fantastic meal at MJs for our silver wedding anniversary 17th Sept. 2008 the food just melted in the mouth Steve the chef was excellent as was the food, service and cost. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys fine food.

Finally got round to eating at La Salsa after months of driving by & making mental notes to try it. It was definitely worth waiting for!! The menu is extensive & every dish we tried was gorgeous; very fresh & authentic - a major difference from the chain down the round. Service was great; the staff were there as soon as needed but not intrusive. At £8.50 for as many tapas as you like it's worth every penny (& probably more!!). Drinks - Sangria & pints of Cruz Campo - added to the bill, but certainly not excessively. Bolton town centre is short of good, independent restaurants - particularly that don't serve Italian! - & La Salsa is just what the town needs!! Will DEFINITELY eat there again & will recommend.

Four of us went to La Salsa and chose 4 to 5 tapas each but then shared them so we sampled 16 to 20 of the 36 on offer for "eat as much as you can for £8.50" (Sunday to Thursday, Friday and Saturday slightly dearer). The food was excellent, really tasty, and we could not possibly have got through all 36, even after starving all day in preparation. The bland exterior may put people off but the food on the plate is the main criterion for a restaurant and La Salsa excelled. Definitely will return.

I've been to this restaurant many times. The food and service is excellent. All the items on the menu are numbered so its easy to keep track of what you've order - even better take a small post it pad with you and write down each item ordered.

Dined here with a group of night school friends in celebration of taking our GCSE in Spanish. Atmosphere was lovely, food was great, service friendly, meal offer meant we got to try some dishes we might not usually order. FANTASTIC Great local gem !!

We go to Mangiamos often and absolutely love it. The food is always excellent, great value for money on the kids menu at £4.95 per child. The atmosphere is busing and the waiters are always friendly. Its the best Italian in this area by far.

Great little place, tucked away in Bolton centre. The food is fantastic and great value. The place has a real authentic feel about it too. We had an excellent meal and will certainly be going back !

We have been to mjs a few times before and went again last Saturday. It is good to see it getting busier each time we go. When we went the service was good. The food was, as is always excellent, we had red mullet, the black pudding and goats cheese fritter 2 excellent sirloins and a liquorice parfait, and its nice that Steve (the chef) takes a tour of the tables to make sure everything is ok. Our visit was made even better when we got an mjs loyalty card. We will be back time after time. Its GREAT!!

I ate here last year and was disappointed. The quality of food was very average. It used to be good.

This is an excellent Indian restaurant which never disappoints.
