Reviews in Manchester City Centre

We visited a week after opening and the atmosphere was great. We were seated fairly promptly and shown to our table. The tables upstairs are positioned very close together although we didn’t mind too much. Our drinks order was taken almost immediately however these didn’t arrive until after our food which was a shame. The food was delicious and really flavoursome. We had to order more as we were still hungry and we did comment about the portion sizes being a little on the small side, especially for the price. A number of tables, including us, had to ask for cutlery. I think these should be on the table as standard - it saves the waiting staff a job if nothing else. The restaurant was very busy which was great but it was a bit odd seeing the chefs deliver food to the table, especially when the waiting staff were hanging around at times. Apart from the feedback above, I couldn’t really criticise the service we received, although the table next to us hadn’t received any food or their drinks the entire time we were there (almost 2 hours) and they were clearly v unhappy. We only noticed this because of how close the tables were. The main let down for us was the price. Even with 50% off the food, we felt it was very expensive for what we had, although that seems to be fairly standard for Manchester now. We were expecting larger portions and we left feeling as though we could eat more. For that reason, we probably wouldn’t return as it didn’t feel like it was value for money. This is a real shame because the food was lovely.

The food was great, would have been nice if there was more. Went twice with different groups and we got three tacos one night and then when I went next we got two? I think for the price, three would be a good point to go for. The upstairs atmosphere was great, enjoyed the live dj and the place in general. Would have preferred not to be on high chairs to eat as I feel they're more bar like, but doesn't matter all that much and I did notice a dog on the sofas that someone had brought in so I'm glad I wasn't eating by them. Food would be higher because it tasted great but a lot of things had run out and the portions were small too. Overall think it was good and would probably try it again after it's been open a while to give chance for teething issues in supply an portions to sort out.

Great food as usual. Owner even offered to make a dish that wasn't on the menu if we wished. Top class

Big fat won’t come again

My friends and I booked a late meal, so the atmosphere was slightly quieter than usual but this was preferred. Service was good with the only hiccup being one of the table was recommended cider. As avid beer drinkers we like to try new things and it came under the ‘bottles’ section. This was through our own fault for not checking but perhaps the menu could be clearer reflecting what is and isn’t beer. First choice beer was not available however the food was amazing, all those at the table were very happy with the timely manner it was presented and how it tasted.

Excellent service great atmosphere and fantastic food will be back thank you

Very disappointed with the quality of the food - just back from South Africa and wanted to remind ourselves of the lovely food out there but food was dry and very hot and not that tasty and definitely not like that we experienced out there

Gave up waiting an hour after our booking as we had no drinks and food order had only just been taken. Ordered bottles of wine to make it easier but that didn’t help!

We waited a long time to be offered drinks or to order food. It was busy and the atmosphere was good. We had the beef and the thai chicken tacos and nachos and the food was all very good. The service was what let it down. We asked for cutlery as our food arrived and were given the bill and a card machine and when we did go up to the bar to pay, our bill had items on it we did not have and once rectified, the person charged us too much (by 50p so no biggie but we would have liked at least an apology for the over charging). Hopefully these are just teething issues with the venue only recently opening.

Really enjoyed

We went on 2nd day of opening and had relaxed expectations due to it only be their second day. We were sat downstairs, my only recommendation was that the lights are abit bright downstairs but not really a major issue. It took a very long time to get served but the manager was apologetic and we were fine chatting and weren’t bothered by this. Finally received our drink but weren’t giving anything to stir our cocktails with. Food arrived and saved the day! Food was delicious! We had all the veggie options and loved them all! We had to ask for side plates and cutlery. One of the waitresses handed me 3 knives and 1 fork which we were abit confused about. We had to them ask her again for 3 more forks and she then passed me 3 more knives, which made me feel silly. We then got up and grabbed the forks ourself. I think if cutlery and side plates were either already on the table or given as soon as you had ordered it would have been a lot easier. We ended up ordering more food as we had enjoyed it so much. Even better it was 50% off! Cocktails were okay but nothing special for the price. We had service charge put on the bill but I wasn’t sure if we should have really had to pay for it seeing as we waited very long for things to arrive or be served. We left it on and did enjoy our evening and will be back again, hoping these issues are only due to it being very new! Music was good with a Dj on upstairs

Authentic Mexican food! The Beef nachos and lamb Bierria was incredible and the service was brilliant all staff was incredibly attentive. 10/10

The atmosphere was buzzing and the food was great. Will definitely be back. I wasn't a massive fan of the nachos but the meaty mezze was incredible. The portion sizes were great.

First time visit for me, was impressed by the meal deal on at the moment. I had the meat meze board and was well pleased with the varity and amount of food supplied. something for everyone. The service was very good and the staff really friendly. Will return.

Great food and fab value with their offers on. Very generous portions, lovely atmosphere

What a find! Can't believe it's taken me over 6 months of travelling to Manchester each week to find this place. Amazing efficient and friendly service and food so very tasty with a fab 50% deal in the week. 1000% will be back and intend to work my way around the menu.

Had an excellent meal and excellent prices. Very efficient service and very friendly waiter and waitress. Nice to see this within a very short distance from the city centre. All in all excellent all round. Will be returning.

Our first visit and will certainly return. Pre-theatre menu good value and good quality. Good staff and good service, very friendly and efficient. Only negative was the quality of the orange fruit juice, which was not good. Surely wouldn't be too too much trouble to get in something decent for those of us on alcohol-free menu? Otherwise everything really good.
