Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Attended November 15. We had a big booking of artists who were performing at a venue nearby.The venue were helpful enough in booking us a private dining room, and also understanding that some of our party were arriving late and travelling from all over (also 2 of them had to leave early due to the event scheduling). I understand that mentioning Sugarvine almost counted as a 2-way recommendation. Not only were we assured from the website that this is a great place to dine, but the venue seemed to be safe in the knowledge that we were a discerning bunch, despite the chaotic and fragmented nature of our arrival.The staff were all very patient with our ever-changing needs and were helpful, friendly and informative throughout.We ordered a variety of drinks, beers, wines, spirits, coffees and cocktails. The cocktails looked (and tasted) really good and weren’t as expensive as we feared! Not sure if I can say the same about the coffees which did seem like a bit of an after-thought, although by then we had been moved to the bar as we had gone over our allotted time (in fairness they did give us the coffees for free). As for the food, it was very impressive! After a good explanation on the process, the menu, ingredients and veggie alternatives (of which there were several) we all headed to the buffet area, then returned excitedly to our tables, with green coasters all upturned eagerly waiting the influx of 15 cuts of meat!The waiters swarmed all over us, all keen to fill us up, explaining the cuts as they went round the table.The food was delicious, in particular the steaks, which was good that the main event lived up to its billing (not always the case in my experience).Maybe we were unlucky that the vegetarian in the group was sat nearest the entrance, but she was always first to be offered slices of meat, and the waiters always seemed to place their skewers right next to her, even when serving people sat either side of her…this wasn’t great for her. Also her veggie dish took a bit longer and by the time she had hers, we’d all been fed!Some of the party commented they felt like it was all about the beef, and within 5 minutes had filled up on beef before things like chicken and gammon arrived. Not sure if that is anyone’s fault, maybe just how it was on the night, but it wasn’t a complaint as such. Personally I enjoyed the lot and it was nice that one of the waiters, when faced with a table of 8 red coasters and only 2 green, had the wherewithal to ask if there was anything we hadn’t tried, or would like to have more of before we all finished (cue more of the Filet Mignon, which was the pick of the bunch).All in all, it was a great experience, some of our party had never seen such a concept but all said they’d definitely do it again (even the veggie)!The décor, atmosphere and presentation was all really cool and impressive and left a good impression on Spinningfields and Manchester itself.Price was very reasonable considering the location and the quality (not forgetting the quantity either for some of the more gluttonous carnivores on our table)! Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going back.

I have been meaning to try Arnero since it opened and I am very glad I did! The restaurant is owned by Indians and I was hoping for an authentic Indian dining experience and I wasn't disappointed. I had the express lunch with a chicken curry, a vegetable dish, rice and the best freshest naan I have every had. Service was was good and the restaurant itself was immaculate. I will return at night next time and sample more of the dishes you just don't find on the typical Indian restaurant menu.

Had a great meal at Wings last night. One hell of a Chinese restaurant.

Lovely lunch at Per Tutti with the ladies!

Brilliant veggie food lovely staff limited menu but all freshly made.

Great meal at the Hawksmoor Manchester the other night. Meat excellent, Will return and recommend.

I had such an amazing night! Manchester really needed something like this, it's a different night out and the musicians they put on are insane. I can't wait to go back week after week. It's really cool and has a great vibe.

Gorgeous, intimate venue, fabulous music. A fantastic hidden gem in Manchester.

First went here 20 years ago and its still great! A real antidote to all the trendy fussing foodie establishments in the Northern Quarter. Unpretentious great value food. £4.50 for rice and 3 toppings. Excellent Indian and Persian grub.

Best boozer in Manchester! Beautiful exterior. Beer very good too. So glad they preserved this gem in Manchester's city centre!

Great place for lunch in the Northern Quarter. Sat opposite the open kitchen and enjoyed my ham hock sarnie with sweet potato chips!. Very efficient service and a hip vibe.

Went here as a family for my sons graduation , lovely food and plenty of it. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices, would definitely go here again

The new look of the restaurant looks deferent from last time I came..so nice and clean, ladies toilet newly decorated impressive . We did enjoy the food, spent the rest of the night at karaoke :):)

Proper mans food at Reds on Saturday. Took the family for a real meat treat, hubby loved it!

Wow that was some meat feast! My folks took me for my birthday. I had ribs to start and then an awesome burger with a donut in it! A great milkshake in a cool retro milk bottle. I even ordered one of their t-shirts. Reds True Barbecue is my current favourite burger/meat American style venue!

We stayed at this great Manchester hotel on Thursday night and had a great meal in one of their restaurants The Steak & Lobster. Grilled lobster with salad and fries. Gorgeous. Excellent service from the waitress who certainly got us drinking wine! Next time we stay we will try Opus One their more fine dining restaurant.

Comfort food at its best!

Dim sum great. Been here several times and never had a nice main course, tried all kinds ribs full of deep fried batter all and greasy. young gambling guy who works there Is very rude he spends more time on his phone than serving.
