Reviews in Manchester City Centre

I ordered at Mei Dim in Chinatown Manchester. Ordered egg fried noodles and my friend ordered chow mein, mine was just egg yoke over crispy hard noodles which were disgusting and hard, the chow mein was the same noodles with uncooked chicken which looked like slimy snails. We each tried a little spoon of the food and it was vile! The manager was called out who was rude and said we would still have to pay for one of the dishes, I didnt mind paying but would have been common courtesy not to charge if the customer has not eaten the food and didnt find it satisfactory, do not recommend please avoid!

Wow, love it! Meat sweats haha.

I had a really bad experience with the restaurant manager who was rude and not capable of doing his job properly. I booked a table at Per Tutti Manchester over the phone stating that I found an offer through Manchester City Card for 25 off total food bill. It was confirmed and me and my husband arrived at the restaurant and had a nice, relaxing dinner…. until we were then told that we had to pay the full price. The manager announced that they do not accept our discount card. I asked why this was not stated at the time of booking for which he replied he thought we meant a different discount card. I then tried showing him that his restaurant is indeed advertised on the Manchester City Card discount website plus we got 50 off on the same card a few months earlier. He suggested that I am lying and this must be a mistake as his till does not list this card. He then added that either way he could not do anything about it at 9pm. I carried on explaining that I do not believe that this is an excuse and that their customers should not be affected by a failure on their part. I believe they should be responsible for knowing what discounts Per Tutti offers on-line, otherwise is just a simple mis-selling. Throughout the entire conversation the restaurant manager was constantly interrupting me, all his responses were rude and he managed to get me really annoyed, which completely RUINED the evening for me and my husband. I have nothing bad to say about the food or the ambiance, but be careful when booking with Per Tutti as they do not seem to value their clients and have no understanding of what the good service is. The restaurant manager was so “good” that he definitely lost a client over the £10 discount. If you want to be treated right do not go to this restaurant as you are going to be confronted with rude, unqualified and disrespectful management.

Fazenda offers a really fantastic dining experience in beautiful surroundings with tip top service. It serves Gaucho and Brazilian inspired food. A real meat fest presented in a very novel way. Waiters appear at your table with a variety of meats on skewers which are cut and put on your plate. The quality of meat is very high and you can choose from about 10 different cuts. The 'salad bar' is like no other I have seen. Get rid of the image of a Harvester salad bar. This is high end accompaniments to your meat. I think you can eat away for about 2 hours. Our wine by the glass was excellent and next time we will get stuck into the wine list proper. The ambience exudes sophistication and calm. It would appear no expense has been spared. Fazenda has about 4 private dining rooms that look perfect for a party. The staff have clearly been very well trained. One could argue that you don't get time to yourself as waiters continually arrive with food. However each table has a card that can be turned over to indicate that you wish a break. We will return and expect that this venue will do very well indeed.

Went to a function in the stunning ballroom. Great food and service in such an impressive space!

On the window outside the restaurant is a quote from The Guardian; "Manchesters first noodle bar and still its best" or words to that effect. We totally agree!

Still the best hotel in Manchester.

Called in last Sunday and we hadn't booked but they managed to find us a table for two upstairs. Had their sunday lunch and a bottle of pressecco. Lunch was the best I have had in a good while (even beats mine and I think mine is good). Well done chef you did a wonderful job. Definitely worth another visit soon but will definitely book in advance, just in case we are disappointed at not getting another meal like that... yummeeeeeeeee

Went here for birthday meal and although the service and staff was good, the food was very disappointing! 3 of my friends had the lobster linguini priced at £25 and they couldn't eat it. It was swimming in chilli oil and they couldn't taste anything else, as well as the lobster being minuscule. I had a seafood pizza and it was soggy with a few sparse pieces of seafood on a tomato base. It was mainly made up of cherry tomatoes, no fish taste to it at all! We weren't charged for 1 if the lobster meals but we won't be going back here. We spent the rest of the evening elsewhere trying to get rid of the taste of garlic and chilli! People who rate this place for food, must have been lucky or easily pleased!!

Not one for slagging off places but to put it simply the attitude of this place stunk. Two of my friends have been in here before and said the food was excellent. In this case, it was very poor. first of all, it took them 25 minutes to come and ask us for our order (we asked twice when are they coming). Starters then took around 20 minutes to arrive, mostly dry. The meal then took around 80 minutes to arrive, during which point we all had our coats to actually walk out after asking them three times where was our food. Only to get told, with terrible customer service, the food has been cooked fresh, but 80 minutes! The real icing on the cake was when they eventually bought the meals out, they bought out a fish deal for one of our party who had asked for a none meal meal. (He is vegetarian). We complained and was told that would not be putting on the bill and we want get a special discount. Well guess what? they tried putting it on there and there was no discount. We ended up complaining again and the meal was struck off, and we got a free drink each. Wow. 3 hours in a busy restaurant with 4 lots of complaints for a sub-standard meal. I certainly won't be going there again.

Been Rosso's a couple of times (just for cocktails), lovely place and great staff who really do take care of you. Can't wait to go again next week!

Superb lunchtime feed at Thaikhun Manchester. Decor gorgeous. Loved it. I had papaya salad and massuman curry. Partner had veggie pad thai. Friend had beef salad and some other meat dish. All great.

Great lunch today at Choaphraya Manchester.

Lovely restaurant very cosy friendly and excellent service. The food was lovely I would definitely recommend if visiting manchester.

Me and my girlfriend were looking for somewhere different to try for my birthday and, after hearing good things about Solita, we thought we'd give it a go. We went on a Monday night and was pretty surprised to find that it was really busy. We were greeted by a polite waitress who quickly escorted us to our table. Whilst deciding what we wanted to order we could help but notice another waitress carrying food who appeared to have lost her table. This happened numerous times during our visit. We order two burgers and two beers. They came pretty quickly and we set about tucking in, only for my girlfriend to find a dead fly in squashed on hers. I called the waitress over who was horrified at the news and quickly took the burger back to the kitchen. A few minutes later she returned with a fresh, fly-free, burger.The burger was taken off the bill and although feeling slightly sick about the matter we're pretty sure this was a one-off. The restaurant dealt with the situation really well. Apart from the fly incident, the burgers were fairly good. However they seemed to lack something special that other burger places in Manchester have.

My husband and I had a great lunch at The Steak and Lobster. We were shopping in Manchester and used Sugarvine for inspiration. As it was my birthday lobster and fizz were on my mind and this place fitted the bill. Fine food and great value.

You are required to pay before you enter or even eat which is a poor way to treat customers.
