Reviews in Manchester

Been to the Rising Moon a few times and always enjoyed it. Decided to go for Christmas dinner, the food was good as usual but the service was terrible - Staff stood doing nothing apart from wondering around trying to sell you more drinks when tables needed clearing……… Overall 6/10

We had a booking of 9 Christmas Day, food was good but not outstanding. We felt extremely rushed and the amount it cost we felt this was quite disappointing. there wasn’t much atmosphere, no music etc. Usually it’s 5* but felt Christmas Day wasn’t the same.

Always friendly and attentive staff! Nothing is too much trouble for them! Thank you!

We were Christmas day for dinner and the food was excellent like it always is, the staff where lovely and will go back all the time

Lovely christmas day meal for 6 of us .Friendly attentive staff, great service. Food was delicious , all 6 enjoyed it ..thank you

Food was okay, service was not good at all. 3 hours for Christmas dinner!!!!!

We visited on Christmas Eve and the restaurant wasn’t full and the atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. The service was great and we definitely over-ordered on the mezzes which are a good size and all delicious. Highlight probably the calamari or the meatballs. Really nice experience.

Lovely Christmas Eve meal here.. great food (pasta garlic bread bowls are excellent), very good service and nice atmosphere..

Lovely menu, lots of choice. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely meal and great service, particularly on such a busy occasion- Christmas Eve. We were so well looked after and the food was amazing.

Perfect as always

Lovely food, great atmosphere and fantastic service

Another brilliant meal on christmas eve. This is without a doubt our favourite place to eat, never a bad meal here. 8 of us enjoyed delicious cocktails, amazing food and delicious puddings. We were served by the son of the family, who was absolutely brilliant, so attentive and excellent with my little boy. Cannot wait to come again soon. Well done to you all!!

We love the Neel Paneer, so much so that we wanted to create a new Christmas tradition of having dinner there on Christmas Eve. It started this year!! The food is delicious and the staff are lovely. We had someone in our party last time who is dairy intolerant and we found out there were loads of dishes she could have. So much care was given to slowly talking through the ingredients of every dish. We love you!!

Christmas eve afternoon meal & drinks. Food & service very good and improved on last year though the day was left on a sour note. Wasn't notified when booking tables that we had to vacate at the 2hr point, which is quite difficult when we were a group of approx 20 people, this was never the case on previous occasions So.. it was made untenable to stay at the pub and we had to leave. Good start - poor end!

Been here a few times and always enjoyed the food, atmosphere and friendly staff.

The restaurant was very nice with a relaxed atmosphere and decorated beautifully We enjoyed the food, it was cooked to perfection and thought it was value for money. The waitresses were very nice and polite although we wasn’t asked if we were happy with the food and also if we wanted another drink even though it wasn’t that busy, we had to keep trying to catch their eye to ask for some water and coffee . The only thing I was definitely not happy with was the service charge that was added, most restaurants now give you the choice if you want it taken off or leaving on. I would always give the waitresses a tip but don’t like being told how much I have to give

First visit on Sunday and it won't be the last. Saw the reviews which is why we decided to try it and they weren't wrong. The food was fantastic and we both said the best Italian we have had in a long time. Can't fault the food or service. And the food was really hot which you don't get very often these days. Very impressed, lovely friendly atmosphere. Thank you!
