Reviews in Manchester

I visited Georges on the 25th of Jan full of anticipation having been a regular at the Milan for years. The first disappointment was on arrival to find that that our telephone reservation had not been booked. Perhaps an omen for the evening!My wife chose the Chicken liver pate, and I the Torched sardines which were both delicious. my wife then chose theSirloin steak which proved to be the worst steak she has ever had in a restaurant.! We were so disappointed with the whole experience that we did not have a dessert.We were served be a charming waitress who remembered a birthday party I had, with guests , at the Milan in May - an excellent experience I will not be repeating at Georges.

We have become regulars in recent months and introduce friends to the restaurant as we find it perfect every time. Great food, friendly service and convivial atmosphere. Enzo the owner adds nice touches by making the effort to talk to his guests and is genuine and professional in his approach. As a general rule when dining out, when one thing goes wrong, it's easy to find further faults - pleased to say this has not been the case for us as the experience has been perfect every time - thank you and keep it going

My friend called this restaurant tonight to book a table and was asked to ring back tomorrow at 12 as they were busy! She said no because she would be at work in a classroom and reluctantly passed over to a female who told her they were fully booked. Sorry you've lost a potential new customer.

Small and friendly restaurant, run by Ann and Adie. Food is excellent. The value is superb! Tuesday to Friday 3 courses for £12.95!! Freshly prepared food, great Hostess. Am a regular now and look forwrad to visiting. They arranged my 60th Birthday last year it was superb. My parents in law who are keen "Foodies" enjoyed it so much they have been with twice since. Thats some recommendation, as their usuall haunts are the Alma Lodge and the Wycliffe!!

I visited George's on NYE with 4 friends the service was amazing food outstanding it was relaxing the decor and ambience outstanding.It was only just completed with its refit from Milan. The entire experience was amazingWe have returned 5 more times for drinks and to celebrate a birthday we were made to feel so specialYes there are the more expensive choices but you can choose more affordable items alsoWell done xxxx

Called for Lunch (on spec).Soup-Lovely. Salmon in Sauce- (To Die For). Very satisfied.

Great food, good choice, good service. Good choice of wine too xx

Visited at the weekend. My daughter (age9) ordered off the children's menu, macaroni cheese and was very disappointed. It was spinach pasta ie green with some mushrooms thrown in just for good measure. The cheese sauce was somewhat scarce and flavourless.This would not go down with most kids. I shared a ribeye with my other daughter. Skin on chips are plain lazy and should be banned. The diane sauce was a bit thin but ok. My husband had the fillett which was the best meal by far.The staff were pleasant enough though.

Amazing food, great people, such a nice atmosphere, I cant recommend this highly enough, it really is that good.

I visited here on Thursday 4th January 2014. I didn't eat as I've eaten in the past and felt I was being rushed. However I did notice that the disabled toilets were in a very poor state, no door lock, no toilet roll and the alarm was inoperable. I very politely complained and got a response from a director of the Almond Group, slandering and defaming me as an offensive, aggressive and loud drunk with whom the pub have had "difficulties" in the past. All of these comments were lies aimed at discrediting me. Hardly a very professional way of dealing with my complaint. I also took a flat, tasteless pint of beer back to the bar and was not offered a replacement. Needless to say, my relationship with this establishment has ended and my friends and family are so appalled that they are also boycotting it from now on.

I visited Georges last night with a friend and was very disappointed by the whole experience.I had difficulty in choosing a starter but decided on the pate which was nothing special and very over priced.There are some unusual main courses to which you need vegetables at extra cost. We chose the salmon en croute for two people as it came with new potatoes. This was presented from a serving board in a very grand style by our waitress .I wish we had photographed our meagre offering which cost £32.50!!! Extortionate!! I have bought the same in M

We recently went for a meal at Thornberries and from start to finish we were all very impressed with the restaurant, the staff and the food. We had a party of 8 and hadn't booked but we were seated straight away which was great. The starters and mains were all beautiful, nobody had any complaints, and the dessert was one of the best puddings I have ever tasted! When we got the bill I was impressed by the value of everything, it was much cheaper than I had expected. We will definitely be coming again!

Looking forward to this place opening later in the year. Their other pubs are spot on and the city centre needs a New Moon Vibe!

Warm and cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Excellent homemade food. Lovely Afternoon Tea. Good location

Fab food carvery great value and pile on as much as you want. Staff nice and cheery keep coming back its great.

Vesuvio is very much NOT in Manchester city centre . It is in fact in the Stanfield centre in Boothstown occupying the space that once housed the late and greatly lamented Baisin restaurant. Vesuvio is busy, and bustling . The food is fairly superior Italian with a few English staples . The pre xmas menu was very good and great value for money. Portions of non pasta dishes were generous but not cheap. Pasta looks fine and its not to dear. So keep it up Vesuvio and see you again in the New Year

I went to this pub with friends who have visited many times before and was really looking forward to it. I ordered the Christmas vegetarian cannelloni. Unfortunately the 'cannelloni' was a slightly wetted sheet of lasagna with barely cooked lentils and hard butternut squash with a slither of cheese. Not wanting to make a fuss on a special occasion my friend and I who choose the same dish decided to give it a chance despite our hearts sinking upon the arrival of the food. At this time we were not aware of the pub's policy on complaints (apparently they must be raised at the 'check up' by your server and all dishes will be returned to the kitchen no matter who's meal the issue is with). Had we known this we might have spoken up, but as it was a birthday and Christmas meal with family in retrospect everyone's food would have been whisked away despite them being more than happy with the fish and chips! After trying to eat our meal we raised our concerns but were told it was too late, we should have said something earlier in line with their policy (which to be fair is not advertised anywhere that I could see) and that if we chose not the pay for the unsatisfactory dishes the police would be called! We didn't want this and so I paid £15 for my one inedible main meal. I was gutted and my friends were embarrassed as they had been so impressed on previous trips. I learned my lesson that day - never leave it too late to make a complaint!

Was working in the area and nipped in for a quick bite. The place was heaving with Xmas parties, however I was looked after very well. I was served my excellent spicy pizza in normal time and there was no stress that you sometimes feel from waiters when a venue is very busy. The value was excellent too. Would recommend for a modern style Italian meal.
