Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Second time here and again virtually outstanding. The best steaks we have had. It was a Saturday night so great atmosphere. Wine suggested by waitress was wonderful. Guava cheesecake excellent. Only downside was chips tasted as they had been refried.

This is a risky thing to say, but the food here was as good as any meal I had in Thailand last year. It's more expensive than other restaurants in the area but it's well worth spending a little more as it was so delicious. I can't wait to return and sample the Chinese menu!

Would definitely recommend a visit, food was fantastic (retro dishes with a slight twist - try the red mullet and chorizo fishcake), staff were very friendly and welcoming, we will be back soon..

Went to Panama Hattys on the 4th August, my wife, 5 year old daughter, and I. Great food, great service, great place. Staff are so friendly, the Jambalaya was excellent. Will go again soon.

Went last night- even on a rainy Tuesday night the place was full, a testimony to the quality of the restaurant. Despite the business of the place, service was efficient and warm. Every course was excellent, and if you're going to indulge in dessert you must have the warm chocolate pot. The best dining out experience I've had in a long time.

Had an amazing birthday party, staff were impeccable, food was amazing, especially the desserts.

Having discovered this restaurant through this site I was amazed how accurate the reviews were. I took my partner early on Saturday evening and the whole experience was magical from start to finish - comfortable seating, amazing decor, fantastic ambience attentive but not intrusive service and of course the food and wine were absolutely wonderful. I shall certainly be returning but apart from this review I think I'll keep the place secret.

Last Saturday I visited stock. I must say I was missing that level of service from a long time in Manchester. We arrived ten mins late and they had a queue of people waiting for tables as it was absolutely packed. The front of the house staff was very helpful we were seated in bar area where given the menu and drinks and were told specials of the day. It did not feel like we waited 20 mins for table. And the food was excellent. Through out the dinner service was distinctive. Without any doubt this is best place to dine in Manchester.

The best restaurant in Manchester

We went to New Emperor for a pre theatre meal, the food was great, we will certainly go again. Only problem was that it was so busy that this reflected in the service which would probably been okay if we were not restricted by the fact that we had tickets for a show. We were constantly looking at the time wishing they would hurry up with the food. Still the food was very enjoyable when it came and we made the show with minutes to spare. This is one of the best Chinese Restaurants in city centre in my opinion, well worth a visit.

Both myself and my wife have eaten at both the Chinese and the Thai restaurants on the occasions we have visited Manchester. The food and service have always been fantastic. I am sure if you like good food you will not be disappointed.

Just got back from a great meal at Villaggio and would really recommend it to anyone. We just had the usual pizza and pasta dishes, but it's such a lovely restaurant and the staff were great, so this really adds to the experience. The food itself was faultless. We tried it because we saw it in the City Card Manchester website and had 25% off, but still couldn't believe it when our bill was less than £20! Next time you're in the village, get to Villaggio for a real Italian

This was our third visit to Fu's and again we couldn't fault the food or service. Our dining experience was improved by the air conditioning in the restaurant on what was a very hot and humid evening - the complementary bottle of water was a nice touch too. This restaurant is rapidly becoming our favourite and we can? wait to go again.

My boyfriend and I have the Thai buffet for lunch at least once a week. The food is always of a high standard and varies from day to day. There is a lot of choice and so should suit anyone's taste, vegetarian or meat eater. The service is exceptional as the staff are always friendly and efficient. We love it!!

I enjoy eating out, and this has to be one of the best places I eaten in...ever! The service, and food was excellent!

Went to Stock for a pre-theatre meal at 6pm, for a play starting at 7:30. Service was very attentive initially, we were seated quickly, and received our drinks and food promptly. The food was absolutely excellent and the venue is sublime. It was impossible however to get the bill - surprising given a healthy ratio of waiting staff to customers. Having finally received the bill from the third person we asked, had to leave the table and get a fourth to process it in order to make curtain up. Come on guys, don't let a good thing down - it's all in the details.

My favourite bar and place to eat in Manchester. This has been mine & my friends' local now since the start of the year. It took a while to take off after it opened last year but don't they all in the city? We find it VERY chilled with a really friendly atmosphere, Geoff the gentleman who runs it makes you feel like you are actually in your own lounge! They even tell you to signal when you need more drink instead of going over to the bar. The interior is cosy & modern, I do believe that they are getting Air-Conditioning fitted this week. Prices are very reasonable, & they even serve drinks in chilled glasses!! Food is a class of its own.

One of the rarer dining experiences in that the ambience and the service over shadowed the food. Despite the food quality being high, the service was excellent and we were made to feel more than welcome during our stay. When combining the quality of all aspects of the experience versus the cost, it would be fair to say that the value for money is excellent.
