Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Successfully made a booking on Saturday 13th October for 4 for a pre-theatre dinner for 5.30 on Sunday 14th October. When we arrived we were informed that there were no bookings for that evening and that the restaurant was closed for a private function. I told the lady at the door that I had made the booking and given my name and telephone number as requested, but she repeated that there were no bookings and said very rudely that she had been working the previous day and had taken no bookings. There was no hint of an apology and needlessly to say we went away very disappointed and hungry, then having to tramp around Manchester to find another restaurant before our theatre engagement. Not a very good introduction to El Rincon, but then again we do things rather different in England, don't we?

We have visited HaHa three times since it has opened and the service is fantastic - the best we have come across for a bar chain. It is a little quiet as I think a lot of people are not aware that it is open, I hope the quality of service and food will continue to be 100% when it gets busier.

Not one of the best chinese meals we've ever had - went post-theatre perhaps this was the downfall, never waited so long for crispy duck! Sept 2007

We eat at Piccolino regularly and thoroughly enjoy the food and atmosphere. We like it that much that we have recently married and held our Wedding Reception at Piccolino Manchester. Ettore and the waiters made our day very special by providing us and our guests with first class food and service and we thank them very much for making our day a fabulous success.

We Love Croma - fab pizza's, they always accommodate - no booking required, nice bar area. If you can't decide between the pizza toppings, they will do half and half! Good value for money and great atmosphere. MWHC girls who like to lunch

Wings Manchester, outstanding service ,superb atmosphere(v busy even on wed evening book ahead) delicious food,cannot fault the place ,highly highly recommended,the best Chinese in Manchester easily.

Having been to this restaurant on many occasions since it has been opened I have always enjoyed the food. But in the last couple of visits it seems to have deteriorated. The beef fajitas had very little meat (fatty), in fact they were just full of peppers, the burgers were undercooked and the service was slow. I have since stopped going and coincidentally have heard on many occasions from friends and colleagues how they too are disappointed with the restaurant that used to be lovely as now gone to pot! Also the menus smell like sick

Really let down with the food this time around, I had a burger which was black on the outside and red in the middle! It tasted like it had been cooked a week ago and re heated! Not impressed as not the cheapest burger I have had! £11. Prawn starter also was a let down and was straight out of a freezer bag!

Impeccable service, divine food and idyllic environment! Thank you for a perfect evening!

enjoyed a pretty decent meal here. cost is average to pricey. they gave us our desserts free because they bought my girlfriend something she hadn't ordered and neglected to tell her that what she did want wasn't available. so fair play to 'em.

Frozen fishcakes re-hashed in a deep fat fryer? Salad smothered in Mayo? One of the worst restaurants in Mcr.

It's the MacDonalds of the Mexican food world! I went on Friday night; Would I go again? No. Staff didn't know what the ingredients were and the ambience is like...... MacDonalds.

We went to Alberts Shed for the first and last time last night. The food was lovely, but the service was poor beyond belief. The mains were brought to the table before we'd had time to finish our starters and then we had to wait an hour for the dessert to arrive having been told that our order had been lost. Plus no one came and offered more drinks at all. We were really disapointed after reading so many good reviews. It was a busy Saturday night but that should be no excuse for poor service. Thankfully the dessert was removed from the bill as we had waited so long. Certainly won't be going back.

I cannot believe that the previous reviews for this restaurant are for the same place that I ate last night. Starters were not fresh & obviously cooked from frozen. We had to wait 40 minutes inbetween our starters & mains. We asked for more drinks which we never received & when we got our mains they were pretty tasteless.The restaurant wasn't busy so no excuse for service this poor. There are far superior restaurants in China Town, Red Chilli being one. Going to Happy Seasons was like going back in time 15 years, not a happy experience.

I was disgusted at the bland quality of the food that does not represent Greece but a mix of all including tapas. Poor service with a lot of drug dealers handing around. I was also shocked to find out that Dimitris had a race-hate campaign against its neighbour Jowata restaurant. Apparently the Evening News and the Voice Newspaper revealed this info in February this year. Just next door on Jowata's windows you can see that this beautiful establishment had to put up with such racism from Dimitris and staff. Appalling and shameful to know this still goes on considering his establishment seems busier because of the alchohol sold on the other side of Jowata, on Deansgate. People should be told the truth and boycott such an establishment based on Dimitris ethnic stereotyping racism. I was happy to know Jowata won all cases and stood up to old dimitris.

The food here is great. The burgers are probably the best I've ever tasted. The beef is delicious, soft, and just perfectly done. There is a choice of about 25 different burgers. The majority of these have Aberdeen Angus Scotch beef as their main ingredient, but there's also a choice of several chicken, lamb, venison, chorizo and vegetarian options. Drinks-wise, there's a selection of bottled beers (including a couple of interesting New Zealand ones), soft drinks, milkshakes (which are just amazing!), soft drinks. Didn't see the wine list, but there is one available to look at on request. The welcome is friendly, and the ambience decent enough (very good for a burger restaurant!). We were shown to our table and informed it's a 'order and pay at the counter' set up. Slightly irritating, but fair enough. Food arrived quickly, and was just lovely.

Well, it took a little bit of time...but I finally found a place in Manchester that does good quality pub food. I certainly took for granted all the lovely pub and cafe meals you can get in Melbourne, Aus. I would recommend the ox to anyone!

OH MY GOD!!!!! THIS RESTAURANT IS AMAZING, THE SURF AND TURF AND THE GRILLED BANANAS A MUST ...... IT WOULD BE RUDE NOT TO GO
