Reviews in Manchester

I went to this restaurant on Saturday night with friends…it was packed out and we had to wait in line to be seated for about 15 minuets but as they were so busy we didn’t mind waiting, when we finally got seen to our table had been taken so we were left hanging around the bar area for a while for them to find us a table and after about 10 minutes a nice apologetic guy found us one down stairs which was quieter and better for us, the waiters and staff were very friendly and efficient and everything was going well until I decided to pay the ladies a visit and I have never been so disgusted in all my life, the sanitary bin in the ladies was actually overflowing with dirty sanitary towels and even stained tissue, I have been to festivals and the toilets have been nicer than and I think it is absolutely not acceptable. I did report this to a member of staff that did seem concerned and apologized and said he would sort it out, it has really put me off visiting La Tasca’s now and seen as we traveled 60 miles round trip to visit this restaurant I am very disappointed!!!!

We went here on Saturday night before going to the theatre and all i can say is that the service was terrible and it ruined my evening, all we wanted was a nice meal before we saw the show and what we got was the rudest of staff and terrible service, we wanted a nice relaxed 3 course meal but as the service was so bad we just ate a pizza and went - i will never go back !

Terrible!! We were in Manchester Christmas shopping and wanted a nice meal to cap off the day. Upon arrival everything seemed very promising, good atmosphere, nice place. We had an 8.30 booking and showed up early. We were seated straight away and had a lovely table in the window. Wine and starters arrived very quickly and were quite tasty. I had ordered the lamb shank for my main course and it arrived shortly after our starters were taken away. It was stone cold inside, so we sent it back. I was sent another one which was also cold.....someone cannot work the microwave! Anyway - I didn't want a third. I then waited 30mins for a portion of lasagna and by this point my partner had completely finished! A second bottle of wine came by way of an apology (nobody actually said "sorry"). It's a good job we were in high spirits because we did see the funny side! I decided to order a pudding to finish off this "delightful" meal, so went for Pannacotta......it was still frozen inside!!! Nobody cooks in this restaurant...I will say no more.....

visited the black ladd last Friday lovely cosy restaurant friendly and informative staff. good simple food had sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection as was the veg and a special mention for the chips best I've tasted in a long time and would return just to sample those again would and already have recommended to friends

I ate here yesterday evening and was very impressed. The sushi was the freshest I've tasted and the main noodle meal I had was the nicest I've had for a long time.

i hate it your services isslow

I cant get enough of this place, i would walk past regularly and couldn't work out why it was forever busy. I just had to try it and couldn't believe how good it was, quite a limited menu, but it included food from Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and China. Top quality and great prices!

This was my third time at this restaurant in the past six months. I have been once for afternoon meal, once in the evening with partner and friend and once for Christmas. The food was ok the first time but they sat 6 of us in a booth clearly designed for 4 people so things were a little cosy to say the least. I do like this type of food (Quality Steak, Fish etc) and despite the first time I went with a friend for an early evening meal, which was ok. The food is just ok, nothing special and not a patch on Gaucho’s in Manchester. If you are going out for a good steak my advice is to go to Gaucho the service is better and the food quality is far superior. The thing that irritated us was they tried to put six guys in a booth that would not fit four of us comfortably. We immediately moved to a round table and told the girl serving us we could not stay there, as it was not comfortable. She said we would have to move but after telling her to get the manager to move us she seemed to leave it at that. The main gripe was the place charges at the top end of the scale but the food you get does not reflect the cost. As an example the advertise Chicken/beef skewers as a starter and they charge £5.95/£6.95 for these and they deliver ONE skewer for the price!!! We were disgusted at this as we thought Skewers meant plural not singular!! Summary: The venue is nice, layout and design is good and it is very busy. The food and service let the place down, it is expensive (For what you get) and the girl that served us was embarrassed by the lack of volume in the food. I would say to anyone considering going DO NOT BOTHER! Go to Gaucho’s in Manchester instead as its better value for money and they have more choice and the people serving you are not robots! I could say a lot more but I think over priced, poor value & terrible service/attitude just about covers it!

I had a very enjoyable meal at Isinglass a couple of weeks ago and couldn't recommend it enough. Both the food and the service were faultless. It's just a shame the restaurant wasn't busier, will definitely be going again!

really good i never been before so i thought it was nice i went with my friend Rachel and her brother and Chris and Jillian the appetizers was quiet dear i have been to ribbyhal and the dear there. I loved the food

superb food, excellent service and always a welcoming atmosphere, we have yet to find another restaurant in rochdale that can beat the Madison, staff are always ready to offer suggestions and assist with menu selection. definitely our number one choice.

Superb food ! We've eaten Indian many many places and this tops them. Everything was cooked to perfection and so tasty we didn't want to stop eating. Will definitely be recommending Desi Lounge to all our friends. :-)

Food was average, waiting staff were CONSTANTLY walking past every 30 seconds, and upstairs was old folks home decor. Downstairs was lovely, and greeting staff and bar staff were very friendly.

Food good, staff absolutely dreadful. In particular the Manager and owners. That is basically all you need to know. We had a special offer deal, 2 for 1, and after the manager was incredibly rude to us, we ended up being dragged into the managers office to show him the offer on the website. I couldn't believe it! Would never ever consider going back.

consistently great food, terrific atmosphere, friendly and genuinely welcoming staff-always a great outing!

we went here for a pre theatre meal, we have never eaten this cuisine before and were really looking forward to it, even though we didn't have a clue what to order but this is all part of trying new food isn't it..... The restaurant has nice decor, great friendly staff, but i just thought the food was a bit basic and even boring, very bland and uninteresting even though the menu sounds great when reading it. I sampled 4 meals from other member of our party and still wasn't over impressed. The food was cooked ok, just lacked taste & flavour, Everything seemed to come with rice ( tasteless ) and salad ( separate piles of grated carrot, shredded red cabbage and a single lettuce leaf ) Maybe this is similar to other turkish restaurant i am not sure but i wont be rushing back to this or any other turkish restaurant.

The new Italian restaurant replacing Aqua is fantastic. The food was divine- especially the steak! This is what Stalybridge has been missing for years. We used to go when it was Enzo's , I am so pleased it is back as an Italian. Five star recommendation!!!

When there on a business dinner with customers (6 person in total) after reading the good reviews. The food was decent but the service was virtually non existence. Maybe we were not that early. It was busy but most customers have been served. I don't see why there was a need to be treated differently? Appalling attitude by 2 waiters. The manager just cover up and give lotsa lousy excuses. Will never go there again.
