Reviews in Macclesfield

I booked a table on line on Monday 21st for 18:30 on Friday 25th, specifying that we would like a table in the restaurant. When we arrived we were surprised and disappointed when the waiter tried to lead us out through the back of the restaurant towards another area. We objected, and were told that all the tables in the main restaurant were booked. We decided we did not want to stay, whereupon we were offered table in the main restaurant. We stayed, and had a very enjoyable meal -the food was excellent, it is a pity that it got off to such a bad start. We also noted that another table for 2 in the main restaurant was offered to a couple who had not booked, so I'm not sure why we were initially told that all tables were booked.

Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely return

Lovely meal in nice surroundings with attentive service. Only negative was the piped music played which was intrusive

Excellent food! Fantastic entertainment! Well worth a visit.

We were a table of 9 which can be a difficult party to serve, and everything was excellent. Service, food, value - all fantastic

Had a lovely meal on Saturday night, great food, atmosphere and some cracking cocktails! Will definitely come again!

Excellent night, no complaints. Certainly go back.

Superb food and drinks on our stay in Prestbury … looked after so well by the staff .. amazed by the price .. didn’t disappoint

Visited Lilac Cottage with friends to celebrate my birthday. We had a great evening

Fantastic food as always. Such a cosy little place with lovely staff and a great atmosphere. We love taking friends and family to Salt Bar to discover their yummy food and drink. We’ll be back!

Well, what an absolute find! A little gem of a restaurant in Macclesfield. Lovely ambiance, great staff and the food is delicious!

Was our first visit to the restaurant, the service and food was fantastic, we all really enjoyed our meals. Will certainly visit again.

Decor lovely Food disappointing apart from the gorgeous spare ribs - King Prawns - not so king and a bit dry - Chilli Sauce tasted out of a bottle - Large Mussels - too small, over cooked and flat - Chicken Sizzler - chicken pieces tasted processed This was the second time I've visited Service wasn't what I experienced before - put this down to the second visit being on a Tuesday. Wondered whether the restaurant had new owners or new staff

I absolutely love Lilac Cottage, the food is amazing and service fantastic. We recently took my parents for a wedding anniversary treat and it was lovely. if you haven’t been yet, go on book, you will not be disappointed, such a lovely atmosphere!

This place never fails to impress, we love coming here. Food and service is fantastic, great value for money too!

We went on Valentine's Day but decided to mix-and match between the regular medu and the 'special' Valentine menu. All the food was good as was the service which was friendly and attentive but not overly so (that's a good thing for me). The restaurant was quite busy but with a pleasant atmosphere and we enjoyed the evening. Was definitely good value for money

Amazing food, service, decor. Just perfect for valentines. We had an amazing evening.

Absolutely lovely food and friendly staff thank you for a lovely valentines evening
