Reviews in Manchester City Centre

O what a night! Took my new girlfriend and it really was a great choice to impressive. A huge choice of dishes - we chose from the specials board and it really was special. Worth the money for the overall atmosphere and quality.

I recently visited for a birthday celebration. It was fantastic. Entertainment excellent (kids and adults). I would recommend it for any occasion.

Visited in a busy saturday night, wine was okay but food was pretty good with quality service. Starters were lovely, having chosen the seared raw tuna and my husband had cray fish tails on garlic brushetta, but he did find that a little over -zealous with the pepper. For mains we had Monkfish wrapped in Parma ham, - very nice and perfectly cooked, but unfortunately my husbands lamb did have to go back to the kitchen, as it was tough as old boots, so he reordered and chose the chicken which he said was pretty good. The only gripe i do have is that we were charged the price for the lamb - the chicken dish was cheaper on the menu, and a 10% service charge was automatically added to the bill, which on the menu said would be added on parties of 6 and over, we would return, but i would not be in a mad rush to do so.

Absolutely outstanding, my GF said "I feel like I'm in Spain". Praise indeed. A bit tricky to find but well worth the hunt! A marvellous establishment.

There's no air-conditioning and it's all smoking so if that's not for you, stay clear. The bar and toilets are looking tired and in need of a makeover. Food quality went downhill during 2006 and after 3 consecutive bad meals I stopped eating there. I'm still a regular drinker there but be careful of the drinks. It's top price drinks on Canal Street for spirits and they are the cheap generic brands. On the upside, the staff are friendly and the place had a good atmosphere. They don't let in hen parties and the music level allows for conversations. It's one of the few bars on Canal Street that seems to maintain a consistent clientele. Once they get back on their game it could be a great place again and I?l hopefully be back eating there.

I have wanted to try this place for ages and I was not disappointed. It's not the easiest place to find though. I had a range of tapas and my mum had the creamed chicken main course - both were excellent. I especially liked the Tortilla Espanola which was the best I've had outside Spain. There was a nice atmosphere there too. I would definitely go again.

Food was very good, though rather sweeter than expected from previous thai experiences. Felt that it was rather expensive and service was rather lacklustre and with the wrong food brought at one point. Wouldn't actively go there again as there are plenty of better restaurants in Manchester.

Very good restaurant. Nice to go somewhere where big steaks and cigars are the done thing. One or two others suggested it should be non-smoking, perhaps they could go to some non-smoking restaurants (there are plenty) rather than making puritanical rants about how everywhere should be designed just for them. They would have enjoyed Hitler's company, the first militant anti-smoker.

Ate at Room last week and found it to be a very pleasant experience. It's quite an upmarket place, to be expected given the location, but food is well presented, with reasonable portions i.e. not full after the starter at reasonable prices. Majority of main course dishes at £15 and all desserts at £5. Clientele were a bit brash but you can't fault the restaurant for that.

The best steaks in Manchester - or anywhere else for that matter. The service was both friendly and professional. Only disappointment were the chips, which looked like they'd been refried, and weren? frites like I'd expected, and the deserts are nothing special. Have a bigger steak instead and pass on pudding.

We went to try the happy hour buffet at Sweet Mandarin. The food was extremely fresh and delicious. I liked how we could keep re-ordering from the buffet menu without moving. Exceptional value for money £9.95 each. Also loved the atmosphere and how friendly all the staff were at the restaurant. I will be coming back here with all my friends and their birthdays!

Went for the 1st time after reviews on here. Great atmosphere when you first walk in with an excellent bar area. The separate restaurant has a really nice feel to it and the menu is very extensive and quite unique. Food quality is fabulous though the service could be worked upon a little. All in all for someone who eats out several times a week and is quite hard to please this was an excellent dining experience and I would strongly recommend it

Visited this new city centre restaurant for the first time last week. What a fantastic addition to Manchester's restaurant line up! Specialising in superb char grilled meat and fish, the menu has many highlights. The Kobe beef burger (Kobe Fillet steak for £50!)looked fantastic as did the half lobster and chips. We plumped for squid, chicken skewers and clam chowder followed by fillet steak, piri piri spatchcock, chicken pot pie and roast chicken. All served with fantastic chips and crisp greens. The cocktail menu is extensive and one of party tried an after eight coffee made with creme de menthe.Not overly expensive with a two course meal for four including drinks coming to a shade under £130. Service is excellent and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable. 10 out of 10!!

Excellent food, nice atmosphere and excellent. I've eaten here about 8 times and everytime we've really enjoyed the food. Very well priced! Not sure what the previous comment is relating to.

"You want chippy tray"? I haven? washed the korma stain off my shirt since the first time I tasted it's creamy goodness. I particularly recommend one portion of korma, one portion of chips, 2 poppodoms, 1 naan AND LOTS OF SWEET FIZZY DELICIOUS COKE to wash it down (better make that two bottles). NB Next time you go in, ask if Abdul if working. Oh, and three little words of advice: "ALWAYS GO LARGE". Supersize me baby.

sorry everyone hold on there, after reviewing Manchester? newest Indian restaurant, I may have got carried away. yes the food was still excellent and the service(once your at the table) was still v good, BUT we had a terribly long wait on a very busy Saturday night, and with the only choice of expensive bottled cobra for the beer drinkers plus a very noisy, giddy, young crowd, in fact there were several undesirables wandering around the place when we visited. food/service/cost excellent, unfortunately frequented by some right wallys. back to eastz east for us.

We visited for the first time on Friday 30 September 2006. Would probably rate it as the best restaurant in Manchester. A lot of style without the fake glam of a lot of places and delivers on the food brilliantly. The staff are excellent especially on the wine recommendations and the whole evening seemed as if it finished too quickly

Wow this is the best place ever it is so much better than Starbucks if you really want a good coffee head here and you wont be disappointed. I t would be a real shame to visit Manchester and not visit Manchester. A fantastic little place with friendly devoted service. By far my favourite Coffee spot in Manchester.
