I went with my family to the Shoulder of mutton in Ramsbottom for lunch after a walk up Holcombe Hill. The Pub was well presented but that is the only thing that I could say was positive. We were not greeted at the door or at all for over 5 mins. The Menu was not presented to us and no recommendations made. The food when it did arrive ! over 25 mins !! it was,, all I can say is SMALL !!! A pie arrived that looked amazing but upon getting through the crust was left with a cave size area of pie dish with only five pieces of meat inside !! We ordered the fish at £13.00 which could only be described as a starter !!! One small fillet !!!! And a pudding of Lamb !! Which sounded fantastic but with only Half of it covered in Pastry was a let down. With the Whole Bill coming to just under £100 for 4 For just Mains and drinks. I feel that if you wish to try and serve fine food then you should aim for the whole package!!! Good Food, Good Service, Great Atmosphere !!! The Shoulder Of Mutton needs to up its game or just stick to what you are ,,,A pub that sells food

Came from Leeds with husband and visited for lunch on 9 Aug 2011 with 19 year old granddaughter who is at Man. Uni. Great choices on menu. Very welcoming host. Good value for money. We all enjoyed everything we had. What more can I say? Would definitely go again.

Went to Momentum Restaurant for a nice meal on sunday 7/08/2011 highly recommended service.Excellent food. Very relaxed atmosphere would recommend anyone go and try for themselves.

This restaurant (previously Madison's) is now under new management and is an Indian Restaurant. The staff and service are great and there are some really great dishes to try. They also do Thali, (a bit like tapas), so you can try a selection of different dishes.

Fab food, lots of choices and excellent service, felt really welcome and loved the extensive drinks menu. Will be back again very soon.

On a recent visit to San Carlo with my wife I have to say the food was quite appalling we had penna with prawns the prawns were the size of my finger nail and not many I did send them an email with not much success. Compared to other restaurants there customer service is very poor. I just think they don't care So marks out of ten a lucky 1 Not recommended

Not impressed. Visited when it first re-opened and was very impressed so I decided to take my dad for his birthday yesterday. The starter took over an hour to arrive and was of very 'standard' quality, the main courses again very 'standard' sausage & mash is literally just that - oh and a small amount of lumpy gravy - no vegetables. Dry potatoes, clearly boiled to within an inch of their lives! The menu's were photocopied sheets of paper, the toilets were untidy, tissue everywhere, empty toilet rolls etc. I think this place has gone drastically down hill which is a shame, staff seem like they cant be bothered - on the whole not a very pleasant experience!

This was my third visit to El Rincon on Saturday night and once again it didn't fail to disappoint, there was a party of 7 of us with most of the party visiting El Rincon for the first time and they loved it, the food was fantastic followed by a good vibrant atmosphere, all the food came out within minutes of each other and it was amazing…I will be back again for more fantastic food!!

Went with my wife and daughter last night as a birthday treat to myself, place was suitably busy, but service and food was prompt and steaks delicious. Hadn't been since Enzo was sadly killed, and we had bad reports of it as "Aqua", so avoided it, but we thoroughly enjoyed it, and will certainly be going back. Enzo did better garlic bread though, hand made that bubbled and crisped up, so only gets a 9/10. :)

highly recommended , good food , friendly staff , air conditioned ( was very cold last time we visited though )

We were recommended the Bilash Balti in Swinton and can honestly say that the food is fantastic, the service is great and the atmosphere is buzzing. We love it there and go quite often. Don't think you could get better in Rusholme!

I went to Momentum the other night and was impressed by the decor. I had the rabbit pie and the filling was delicious, the pastry crisp just as it should be. My only gripe would be that the pastry was slightly singed at the edges. The vegetables that accompanied it were cooked just right. For dessert I had the pannacotta. This was unusual and a lovely end to the meal. This restaurant is a great place to have a special celebration meal and the odd treat. It provides the difference that is needed in Westhoughton. I hope this is the beginning of a move towards upgrading the local stock of eateries. Momentum has certainly succeeded in that.

We took our family to Rigalettos to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary.We were greeted by very pleasant staff,shown to a very comfortable bar for pre-dinner drinks, given Menus to study at our leisure then when we were ready shown to our table that was beautifully set out. The food we all chose was excellent the wine was also excellent infact the whole evening was perfect and enjoyed by our party of 12 people. It was a night to remember thanks to Tino and his lovely Staff

fantastic zindy love it and the free booze at the end of meal nailed it will be there this Saturday

Although very easy to drive past, this restaurant is definitely worth the stop. Attentive staff, lovely decor and fabulous food to rival some of the best restaurants in Manchester.

I often go to La Roma for lunch with my friend and it's always an enjoyable experience. The staff are very polite and welcoming and the menu is very varied. Everything is of the highest standard and you get the impression that you matter as a customer. No one is ever hurried, which is a failing of a lot of Italian restaurants. I recommend La Roma to everyone...go try!!

Good food good service and I could have sworn Robert de Nero was walking about ? Maybe too much of the house red can't wait for the next visit

I have been eating in Tampopos for many years now and Ive always had a great express lunch. Its just that this time my experience was slightly tainted by the sloppiness and speed of the chefs. The staff were great and attentive and the floor manager couldnt do enough for me. The reason being that the Nazi Goring was unlike any Nazi Goring ive ever tasted before. Awful is my only explanation. There must of been 8 khaffir lime leaves in my dish which completely killed every other flavour in the dish and the chef has lazily quartered a whole tomato and placed that in there. Ive never seen that before. Its a shame, but I've such an affection of the place that hopefully this is just a one off. A mystery customer needs to go check this place out for the quality and authenticity of the food. There was an eastern European waitress working in there that could of slowed her pace down ever so slightly. Every time she was racing past, psychologically i felt rushed also. Although i couldn't fault anything else she did.
