Reviews in Manchester City Centre

My boyfriend and I ate here yesterday, and having arrived at 6.15pm we were too late for the tapas offer of 3 for £10. We ordered around 8 dishes altogether including bread, a beer, and glass of wine (which was fantastic), and our bill was £57. Pricey, but well worth it. You will pay 25-30% more than in La Tasca, but it is worth every penny. Fab food, nice service, great experience.

We were recommended Sweet Mandarin by many work colleagues and decided to go try the restaurant. I decided to try their new cocktail Mandarin Jazz and i wasn't disappointed. The food was tasty and plentiful. I certainly was impressed with the service and food. I will be recommending Sweet Mandarin to many more work colleagues.

I was there last night with my fiance and we had a lovely time , the staff were very professional and the food was FANTASTIC. I had a chicken and pinenut pasta for my starter which was a bit rich but neither the less lovely . I would highly recommend the florentina pizza and the peppered fillet steak both of which are a good choice . We finished our meal with lemoncello which was served ice cold and very refreshing. I would urge anyone to try this great city centre restaurant .

Fantastic restaurant! Food is really yummy with some really authentic Malay dishes that I haven't seen in other Malay restaurants in the UK. There are always specials along with the main menu. Loads of options for veggies and all reasonably priced compared to elsewhere in the city. Restaurant also has full disabled access. Service is great, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Nice touches such as the waiting staff ask if you're ready for your next course. The owners are usually around and always take the time to talk to you/ask if you've enjoyed your meal. Decor is beautiful and modern but not pretentious. This restaurant is great for any event, whether it be a romantic meal for 2 or a group night out. It's the only restaurant in Manchester that has ever inspired me to write a review!

We used to go to Happy Season. But since we discover Fus Chinese Restaurant, we never look back. The innovative interior design is a refreshing change to your typical Chinatown restaurant. Bright and airy with relax atmosphere. I would recommend the Fus Chinese Restaurant in china town any day. Me and my girlfriend go there about 3 times a month, the Chinese style roast duck and char sui are the best in Chinatown, try it and see. The price is excellent. Very friendly staff. Good service. Excellent quality of food. Definitely would recommend friends for a sooner visit! Thanks

Whenever we're in Manchester, we always head to San Carlos, as the food is great, the service is fast, the restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated and the prices are very reasonable. Great restaurant in a central location!

This restaurant is fabulous! The waiters could not do enough for you and the restaurant itself has a nice relaxed ambience. The best portebello mushrooms I have tasted, we thought the steak was a little overcooked for our taste, but when we mentioned this to the waitress the manager came straight over and offered to replace them. All in all we were very impressed and will definitely be going again.

Understated sophistication!

The food was excellent, as was the service. All of my friends agreed that Ning was top notch and I'm sure many of us will return in the future.

Very friendly staff. Good service. Excellent quality of food. Definitely would recommend friends for a sooner visit! Thanks

The burgers are gorgeous but on the pricey side at £7+ for most burgers. I've only ever had the blue cheese burger when I've been to GBK and it's delicious. My husband had the pestarella which was okay but not as good as the blue cheese. I guess my only real gripe about the place is that the fries are £2.65. For a small portion of obviously frozen, pre-processed chips that you could get in any fast food place it's extortionate and lets the meal down. They'd be better off doing real chips or potato wedges. For 2 burgers, 2 portions of fries and 2 cokes the bill came to £26 which isn't particularly good value in relation to the quality of what's on offer.

Food was excellent. Watch the bill though as they automatically added a 10% service charge to the bill and then asked for a tip to go on the credit card as the service charge was not for the staff! Very naughty and a disappointment to the end of the meal. They would have got more in a tip if they hadn't automatically added the service charge for just 2 people.

Ive visited this restaurant on several occasions. and everytime the food & service has been both excellent! on the whole this place is value for money and that's the reason why i keep going back and and telling more people about it!

The food and service are very good. Friendly staff.

Wonderful food. From the starters, main and the sweet section. Pricing was very very reasonable Very well cooked and presented. The Restaurant staff very attentive and saw to my wife's disabled needs.. It was our 40th (Ruby)Wedding Anniversary, our young lady server had dressed the table with celebration decorations, and we received a complementary bottle of pink champagne. We will most definitely return for a meal again and recommend to everyone. Thank you so much for a very memorable time and night. Joyce&Geoff

Absolutely no quibble about the wines...excellent selection and we loved the bottle of red we ordered. But the food...well a different story. Very bland; the roast veg tapas was more steamed leading to rubbery aubergine...ugh! And the manchego...no taste, very bland...where did they get it? Previous week we ate at El Rincon....wonderful food, much better than here which seemed to lack Spanish authenticity in taste.

Panama Hattys is now amongst my favourite restaurants. The staff are very accommodating without being intrusive. We did order drinks with the meal and they didn't arrive so we asked another waiter who brought them promptly. When we informed the head waiter about the wait, he apologised sincerely and reduced the bill so we had the round of drinks on the house. This is excellent customer service and we would definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone. It is a relaxing atmosphere, especially in the lounge area. The wine and cocktail lists are extensive to suit all tastes. The quality and presentation of food is excellent. Fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. The fruit and sorbet starter was fantastic. Ripe sweet fruits against a tangy raspberry sorbet, served in a crunchy tortilla basket, bliss!! The duck was cooked to perfection with a sumptuous sauce, just the right amount. Steamed veg and an original sweet potato dauphinoise was a fantastic combination. I'll definitely be back soon!

Grill on the Alley is a fantastic restaurant. The service is great with attention to detail. The waiters are knowledgeable and make helpful recommendations. The decor and ambience are great, a really relaxing experience. The Kobe beef burger was perfectly cooked, incredible taste and texture. I'm really pleased to have had the chance to taste it. The choice of food on offer is extensive, all of the plates were presented to a very high standard. The main focus is on quality of ingredients, it's really special. A true foodie's delight. We will definitely recommend this gem to everyone and will visit again soon!
