Reviews in Manchester

We have been visiting this place for years as a couple or with large parties with our family and friends. We have noticed a lot of new staff and a staggering drop in customer care and service standard on our recent few visits. We can say we will not be returning after our last visit as our table was booked for 7.30 last night (7th October) for our friends surprise 50th by his lovely wife. On arrival we were greeted nicely and to take a seat at the bar, get a drink till our remaining party arrived. We were supposed to have been seated at a nicely decorated table of balloons and party things and on his arrival our friend would have been nicely surprised by us all sat there. That's the first mistake. When our friend arrived his lovely wife who booked the table went to book us in only to be told there was no booking, luckily for us she was speaking to the actual waiter who took her booking. Apologise profusely and proceeded to go to the restaurant to get us a table. On finding us a table, not waiting long we were told a table was ready but no decorations on it which our friend had dropped off earlier to be arranged. So having to wait till that was done by the wife and not the staff as arranged, we were then was seated. That was the second mistake. We were offered popadoms yum yum they came quickly and were enjoyed thank you. A long time passed till our order was taken but eventually a waiter came and took our order. Only 2 starters were asked for and it was mentioned that the starters could come with the mains but in no time at all the starters came but no mains. 3rd mistake. I had to stack the plates and trays from the popadoms as no one was clearing our table of them or empty glasses. 4th mistake. We then waited and waited and waited and guess what waited some more. After an hour we asked what the problem was and with no apology what so ever were told our order would be another 5/10 minutes as they had a very large table that had a massive order that they were just finishing off. And we waited and waited and yes waited some more.5th mistake. The table at the side of us which was a bit bigger had waited and waited and waited too. Half of their party left and eventually they all left and went to McDonald's next door. We spoke to a gentleman on reception who apologised, who spoke to the floor manager in the reastaurant and still we waited and waited. Waiters walking passed us with lots of food but non for us. 6th mistake. We left out table asked for our friends surprise cake and proceeded to the bar where we were offered a free drink as an apology, half of us not drinking as we were driving and they lit the sparklers on the cake. Thanks for that. We left after 3hours having had popadoms and nothing else. So my husband and I and im sure the party we were with will not be going there again or recommending it to anyone. It was just a good job the company we were in was lovely otherwise the evening would have been a total wash out !!!! Never again!!

We visited The Fisherman's Retreat in Sunday to celebrate my cousins golden wedding anniversary. There were 10 of us booked under the name of Isherwood. I would like to say how impressed we all were with the choice, presentation and quality of the food.It was our first visit. The venue was lovely with exceptional views from the windows of the dining room.

Great place to come out with the family, service is always good and prices are a steal for what’s on offer would reccomend

Tavern Fayre is a rightly very popular venue. Even though its a large place with plenty of covers it always seems busy. That's because it is a well run ship with a good menu. I had the light bite fish and chips which was excellent. service was friendly and efficient. Its in a good location for me near the motorway.

Best Indian restaurant in stalybridge by far .

quality veggie pizza for my lunch. lovely little family run restaurant.

Love it, my fav American style burger meaty beery place

Great hotel in a very central location in Manchester. the room was big with an awesome bed. A room that felt like the hotel really wanted you to chill! lots of little touches too. Food excellent and all in all I would strongly recommend

We chose this excellent space for our university reunion meal and stayed at the hotel. considering there were 22 of us everything ran very smoothly. fantastic international food,, great friendly service. top tunes and drinks service in the bar after dinner. A hell of a place!

Ziya fitted our large party in late on a Friday night. The food was well worth the wait! Excellent succulent Jalfrezi and Saag Aloo. A very busy place with a strong Asian clientele that says a lot about the place!

About 20 of us went to Ezra for brunch and it was excellent. good service and location in the NQ. Quirky and contemporary space. will return another day.

We went yesterday and asked for 2 pints of Foster's and got a pint of Carling and a pint of Foster's we ordered some food and they got my order wrong I wanted a BBQ beef burger and got chicken I didn't eat it because it was dry and not what I ordered

We had a wonderful evening. The service was great. We were well looked after. The food was so tasty, warm and delicious. We Will definitely come again.

Love these pubs. best pubco I know Brunning and Price, different class. Had no idea they had this one in the city. Got to be one of the best beer gardens in Manchester. Food great and a cut above pub grub. I really like the traditional yet contemporary vibe all their places have. Favourite is the Aspinal Arms near Clitheroe

Great place. my place in this part of town. All the girls met here and none were disappointed!

My Mother was 82 and we wanted to take her somewhere nice. My brother said he as been to the Bridge and it was very nice so we all went sunday 20/8/2017 and from walking in the young lad who got us a table for 6 looked after us all day with drinks and food he was saw helpful and mother said what a nice young lad the food was 1st class. Will be coming back thank you very much for making it a great day.

Best Spanish in Manchester....best restaurant in Manchester. that is all

What an amazing lunch for the very small sum we paid! Gorgeous lamb tagine and a Italian sausage ragu. Sticky toffee pudding to follow and a nice sharp coffee!
