Reviews in Manchester City Centre

We were recommended this restaurant by a friend who, unfortunately, didn't give us directions!!!. It takes a bit finding, nestled behind the Direct Line building on a back street but well worth searching out. Excellent tapas, notably the chorizo, albondigas & patatas bravas, washed down with a draught Cruzcampo, made the whole thing more Spanish than some cafe bars in Spain! To be honest it took all my self control to prevent me saying "gracias" at every opportunity & asking for La Cuenta. It was all finished off with an excellent, strong cafe solo. We will be returning

Food excellent but waiter cleared partners plate before I had finished and plates were tepid.

Authentic Turkish food. I eat here once a week for pure pleasure. Wish I had a mistress to take with me !

Excellent. Went there for my birthday with 20 friends, the food was superb, service excellent and very inexpensive.

Helpful staff, great range of choice on the menu, good ambience - a great little italian restaurant. One of our favourites.

this restaurant is great i went with my girlfreind the other week an we got abslutley stuffed on the finest thai food i have eaten all for a outstanding price talk about value for money its like buyin armani for the price of tescos

We couldn't face cooking Christmas dinner for ten so someone suggested the Ox. It was a fantastic idea. The food was delicious and great value. It took all the stress out of Christmas day and we didn't miss the washing up or the turkey sandwiches one little bit.

EXCELLANT AND REASONABLE

I visited this Restaurant for the first time two weeks ago and was very impressed. The food was fantastic, the staff friendly and eager to please, with a really good atmosphere. We had booked a table for 7.00 pm and by even then it was very busy. By 8.00 pm it was almost full. Prices are a bit steep but worth every penny and we will definitely go back when we return to Manchester later in the year. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone - its first class. Book early though to avoid disappointment.

Been several times, and it's definitely got better lately. No doubt because Rob Brown is overseeing the cooking(exec chef at Lounge Ten when it was fanatastic, untill he left). Good wine list with plenty available by the glass (other restaurants take note). Basically the best place in town for traditional British grub and a good drink.

Steak eaters heaven. If they still do it try the carpaccio of Tuna starter with balsamic and lemon juice, very good. Wine list good. Staff are friendly, all in all recomended. Do agree that it is a bit souless midweek though due to it's size, go when it's busy.

THE best tapas in Mcr. In fact better than most I've sampled in Barcelona! Never had a bad food experience here, although the service/decor is rather casual and you have to fight the odd fruit fly off your Rioja. Good buzz about the place, always busy, which says alot about it's broad appeal. The owner is always around mingling as well, which makes a difference to any place I think. Check it out, you will enjoy!

Judging by how busy this place has become in such a short space of time, it's a winner! Food is good and solid if not outstanding,have tried all the risottos on the menu, wild mushroom my fave. Good to sit at the bar and people watch as well, although it has become very cheshire set (Stepford wives anyone?). You can have a laugh with the staff, watch out for the MD, very acid sense of humour.When telling him we were in a hurry he immediately shouted out "bread and water for these gentleman". Good place.

Food was outstanding, except that due to the slow,poor service our main course were cold by the time the vegetables arrived. I complained about this, but did not feel that my complaint was taken seriously or indeed understood. More attention to sevice definitely needed.

I had never tried Korean food before this restaurant but I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience. The food was quite spicy but didn't detract from the other flavours. All the food we ordered was of very high quality and freshly prepared. The restaurant is small so I would recommend booking at busier times. Overall an excellent meal and I will definitely be returning in the future.

Very Very good food, very very good drinks though not cheap, they serve negroni's (Italian aperatife) Very stylish interior outstanding efficient professional and very friendly service excellent atmosphere, a great mix of contemporary and traditional Italian cuisine and bar culture transplanted in to Manchester.

Absolutely delicious

the food wasn't bad but the staff are very polite and kind. the tables are a bit cramped.
