Reviews in Manchester

We went to this restaurant last weekend. It was fabulous! The food was divine. The staff were friendly and wanted nothing more than to please. Hats off to the chef as that was the best meal I have tasted in a long time. The restaurant was in a lovely location and has just been refurbished too which gives it that extra special edge. We heard of the new restaurant as the gentleman that own it also have Baci Restaurant which is in Harwood near Bolton again another fantastic restaurant.

Went for a meal last night, service was poor to say the least. People were coming in and being served, when we had placed our order sometime before. The excuse was we have a lot of tickets in, well people should be served in order. Then when chased again its just being plated up. 15 minutes later are meals arrived.. It was only a beef and ale pie and a steak!, so not a lot a plating up. No apology would you like a coffee. The steak was described in the menu as a 8oz T bone steak at £17 when it arrived my wife said it looks like a slice of roast beef a 1/4 " thin. Total meal with wine and drinks £67. One starter two main and one sweet., and poor service/. Will not be going again.

Just wanted to provide some comments on the above restaurant. I have been going here for some months now, but took a large group (14) last evening and can say they we were very well looked after. Food selection was excellent as was the standard of the cooking. Service was exemplary, in fact the staff could not do enough for the group. Drinks were kept flowing all evening. The whole group commented on one of the best nights out arranged. Food comments were similarly commendable, with dishes to suit every taste and dietary requirement. A must visit location. 5 Stars.

I have been to Oklahome twice. The first time I was very impressed with the shop itself and also ordered some food to take away: sweet potato with lentils. Although it wasn't cheap, it was a good size potato and the topping was really nice. So I went again. After spending £30 in the shop I went to get a sweet potato with goats cheese and roasted vegetables to find out that the price had gone up and it was now £5.50!! I still got the potato but to my disappointment it was a lot smaller and the vegetables were not well cooked so it was a very disappointing and expensive lunch! The guy at the till wasn't particularly nice either... It is a shame as I love the concept of the shop but you don't get value for money with their food and for the price they should really try to work on their service.

Held my 40th birthday at the Stables for 33 people and the food was amazing every course was quality and presented beautiful and the service was exceptional.I have visited a few times and each time it gets better and better with now a new menu. Tim and Joanne are lovely people and really make you feel welcome and this is the reason they have repeat customers. This is a real hidden gem and if not tried you don't know what you are missing please try for yourself you will not be disappointed I promise.

I have recently eaten in Cafe Istanbul for business meetings where the food, service and surroundings were excellent. Having had such an amazing experience I now use Cafe Istanbul for personal dinners. The menu is extensive with amazing choices cooked with the finest ingredients! The wine list is extensive and the staff are knowledgeable No wonder this restaurant is longest run privately owned restaurant in Manchester!!! I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough!!

what a difference a few years make!!! This pub has been taken over, redecorated and now also does good food. Ive lived close by and until recently hadn't set foot in the place since the eighties.....good work, long may it continue

Nice friendly place, choice of cask ales and really good food. The staff were pleasant and helpful, this place was recommended to us by a friend, we travelled from Oldham and weren't disappointed.

Last year we started coming here about once or twice a month, sometimes sitting for an hour or so at the outside tables soaking up the sun, before moving inside for an early evening meal. Although we had heard reports that on occasion certain members of staff could be quite cool and off hand depending on what mood they may be in. We on the other hand had began to feel quite comfortable here. However on our last visit we got to experience first hand such rudeness and the comfortable atmosphere disappeared in an instant! I have no idea as to why we almost had our bread thrown at us or why we treated with such disdain but I do know one thing, we will NOT return. The food (duck) was atrocious, so dry it couldn't be eaten. RUDE, BAD MANNERED and OBNOXIOUS comes to mind.

was very disappointed, food is overpriced and did not come up to the standard i expected.

The best Lebanese in UK. Know by 1,000 people a week. Do lots of outside catering parties. Open Tuesday until Saturday 9am until 4 pm. Can delivery over 15 people

Visited the Stable Gate Denton and there was an advertisement on the wall showing 2 bottles of wine, (one rose and one white) which stated buy 2 glasses of wine get the rest of the bottle free. When I told the management that I had already purchased 3 glasses of wine and a further bottle I was told this promotion was for rose only. I do feel that this should be advertised clearly and it was not. We attend the Stable Gate on a regular basis.

great night, lovely service. will go again :)

Visited Eastzeast (Princess St) on Sat 10/9 and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Restaurant full so was glad i'd booked a table. Staff very pleasant, food exceptional, and most of all including drink, very reasonable. Have tried the Preston restaurant before, the food here better. Recommended.

We have often passed this restaurant but never been in until 3 weeks ago. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the excellent service and atmosphere that went with it. Definitely be my number one choice for Italian food, in fact I'm planning on trying the Sunday menu this week.

I visited La Lupa with my husband recently and had a fantastic evening - great wine, fabulous Italian food and lovely staff. We'll definitely be returning - I may have found my new favourite restaurant.

Read other reviews and can't understand anything negative about this superb little restaurant,food ,prices and staff absolutely spot on, best night for us in a long long time,will visit again soon if only for the banter with Michelle. Would recommend to all to sample for themselves

I went to La Salsa Horwich last night (10/09/2011) with some friends (4 dining all together) we had a table booked for 20:30hrs and arrived about 5 minutes before we were seated right away I must say that the table was squashed into a corner giving us very little room to sit, now I’m not the smallest of people and with the people on the other table sitting so close it was uncomfortable, (luckily the other table left after about 30 minutes, so we could spread out more). As usual they wanted to take our drinks order as soon as we sat down (something which seems to be happening more and more in restaurants these days) I put them off for 5 minutes but they were back in about 3 minutes. We ordered our drinks only to be informed when the beer arrived that the wine we wanted was unavailable (something I really think the waiting staff should have known). My biggest grip with this restaurant is that it is very dark and you do find yourself reading the menu by candlelight also the background music did not appear to changed during the time we were in there (we didn't leave until after 12pm, it was Julio Iglesias and as much as I like him you do get fed up after the 3rd run though of his greatest hits). The food as normal was very good and fresh but I ordered the chorizo in red wine three times and it was not until the third time when I had to ask the waiter for it did it arrive, we normally order about 4 dishes each but I not all arrive (we ordered 3 portions of No 35, the fish in batter at the first order but only 2 arrived) I would normally complain but to be honest there was enough to eat and you just order again next time. We had more than enough food and plenty of beer and wine and the bill came to £106 for the 4 of us which was very good. It was also helped by being with very good friends so a good night was had by all. It’s definitely a place I will be returning too.
