Reviews in Manchester City Centre

I live in Singapore, so my standards for Indian food are very high. This was my first trip to Manchester and the quality of the food and friendly service at EastzEast was simply outstanding. "British" Indian food at its very best - I'd recommend anyone to eat here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. Although it cost more than most Chinese restaurants I have been to it was well worth it for all the finishing touches. We went here because we were looking for a restaurant that was open late in the evening as we were going after a show at the Arena and we were made to feel very welcome even though it was late and we were the last ones in there. No effort was made to rush us out. I will definitely go again when wanting to eat late after concerts.

Pound for Pound probably the best night out in Manchester,only problem everyone else knows as the place was 'chockka' sat night from 7 onwards. so if you dont mind waiting a little while(nice enough bar)superb food ,superb service at incredibly reasonable prices,overall outstanding.top recommendation. Try a pint in Cask bar just 1 min walk away(towards the Hilton) super choice of foreign beers

5 of us dined at the San Carlo on Tuesday 23/10/07. The food was good, however, it tended to go cold very quickly as the plates had not been heated sufficiently. We were also presented with vegetables that had not been ordered. The service on the other hand was quite simply abysmal; apart from one very recently recruited member of staff, the rest displayed at best, a very disinterested attitude (until it was time for the bill). They were however, very attentive to a table consisting of 6 scantily clad young ladies! The bill itself was an art form in over-pricing. Not only were we charged for 2 bottles of wine that we hadn’t consumed, we were also charged at a higher rate than shown on the wine list. All in all, the over-charging amounted to in excess of £70, plus the standard 10% service charge, meant that we would have been out of pocket by some £77! It is not acceptable in this day and age, particularly as there is so much competition in central Manchester, for this type of lackadaisical and very poor attitude to service to be tolerated. A very disgruntled diner.

The coffee was cold. We ordered 6 Tapas - the 'salad' was no more than a garnish and very limp. The squid was inedible, chorizo ok and I didn't bother with anything else.My companion ate some beef because she was so hungry. The waitress was surly. We left there and went to San Carlos.

I had lunch today and was very disappointed. I used to eat at Dimitris when I lived in Manchester 4 years ago, but obviously times have changed.The food whilst palatable was not up to the standard I remember and the decor is now very shabby. The outside eating area seems better and is probably lovely in the summer, but not in October in England and did seem to be a bit of a thoroughfare. Never mind, there are lots of restaurants in Manchester - I will have fun trying them out

I love little yang sing it's the best Chinese restaurant in the country and i will come here forever.

Brilliant addition to Piccadilly Gardens. Thought the food was very tasty (I like spicy food) and excellent value. I had a burrito, nachos and a beer for just under £7. Good place to start on a night out!

For £8.99 a three course menu of good, honest, homemade (not just home cooked) food is presented. Even the carrot cake was homemade! Everytime I've visited I've been left exceptionally satisfied by the quality and value with good service by staff who soon remember the regulars.

Went for late lunch on Saturday afternoon. Excellent for a chain bar/restaurant. Open kitchen. Excellent service. Good food. Very quiet at the moment. Guess it's busier during the week and week day lunchtimes for the office staff around there.

i came to san carlo on wed 17 oct for the first time ever and i must say i was very impressed. The staff are very welcoming and friendly even though they are very busy. My friends and i are all fish lovers and eat out regularly but i must say san carlo i havent experienced excellence like that for a very long time, well done. Could you give the fish chef a big pat on the back please. Thank you for a great night and see you very soon.

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

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!
