Reviews in Manchester

For £8.99 a three course menu of good, honest, homemade (not just home cooked) food is presented. Even the carrot cake was homemade! Everytime I've visited I've been left exceptionally satisfied by the quality and value with good service by staff who soon remember the regulars.

Went for late lunch on Saturday afternoon. Excellent for a chain bar/restaurant. Open kitchen. Excellent service. Good food. Very quiet at the moment. Guess it's busier during the week and week day lunchtimes for the office staff around there.

It is hard to describe how great it is to have such a first class restaurant in Urmston. I have eaten here mid-week, weekend and on "specials" such as New Years Eve, and the food has been consistently excellent, the service informed and attentive. The owners have a real commitment to sourcing local produce and have a real passion which comes through in their menu and attention to detail. I truly hope that Isinglass remains the benchmark and goes from strength to strength as Urmston redevelops.

i came to san carlo on wed 17 oct for the first time ever and i must say i was very impressed. The staff are very welcoming and friendly even though they are very busy. My friends and i are all fish lovers and eat out regularly but i must say san carlo i havent experienced excellence like that for a very long time, well done. Could you give the fish chef a big pat on the back please. Thank you for a great night and see you very soon.

Been to the restaurant more than a few times since opening in its new guise after an unsuccessful spell as a tapas, the most recent only a week ago. Each time I’ve been impressed with the food on offer and glad to see its the potential is being fulfilled with the improvements from my 1st visit, were they had a small menu & a nervy but smiling staff - it had only been open a week! Twice our table requests have been last minute, meaning we’ve had the 7/9.30 slots - even then the restaurant was bubbling with customers & staff. The food is also bubbling when it comes to your table, not luke-warm sat waiting to be served at much pricier venue! The flavours in the food are all there to taste in lovely surroundings & will be again visiting as recommend and booked for a friend’s birthday.

I am a regular at this restaurant and i find the food delicious and tasty. I have been to many curry houses in the area and around Manchester and none compare to this place. the ultimate best curry house in the North West. 10/10.

The evening was fantastic after visiting the restaurant before our evening we thought it looked dingy and were not looking forward to the food. However we were pleasantly surprised the food was amazing with excellent entertainment. We were dancing on tables and singing songs and generally having a very good time. The whole evening was superb.

I went to The Metropolitan last week for my "tea" and had a gorgeous meal. The service was a tad slow and there was a misunderstanding about the garlic bread but our waitress dealt with it superbly and was very professional. I thought that the price was a bit expensive since it a pub but no more expensive than anywhere else of a similar style! Would be a bargain to make use of the before 7pm offer! Overall very enjoyable and very tasty - will defo go back.

Successfully made a booking on Saturday 13th October for 4 for a pre-theatre dinner for 5.30 on Sunday 14th October. When we arrived we were informed that there were no bookings for that evening and that the restaurant was closed for a private function. I told the lady at the door that I had made the booking and given my name and telephone number as requested, but she repeated that there were no bookings and said very rudely that she had been working the previous day and had taken no bookings. There was no hint of an apology and needlessly to say we went away very disappointed and hungry, then having to tramp around Manchester to find another restaurant before our theatre engagement. Not a very good introduction to El Rincon, but then again we do things rather different in England, don't we?

We think the food is fantastic, been there loads of times. When discussing restaurants with friends we rave about the place. Even my dad is going to try it out this weekend so wait to see his review if you are really fussy.

Excellent value for money and very efficient service.

ı eat at the three arrows regularly at least once a week ın fact and the food the service and the atmosphere ıs outstanding sue and Stuart are fab and so friendly as well as the waiting staff.

Having read fantastic reviews on a number of sites we got the tram last Friday to try this restaurant. How dissappointing. The service was pushy and rushed (we sat, ordered, ate and had the bill within 60 mins). The first time the waiter came over we asked for some more time, 2 mins later a waitress came over, agian we asked for more time, less than 5 mins later we gave up reading the extensive menu and aksed for a recommendation. She pointed to the mixed starter - we chose option B. I don't think it could have been worse if they tried - a plate of deep fried samosas, spring roles etc that were heavy, greasy and didn't taste fresh at all. Our bottle of wine arrived - luke warm - when we pointed this out it was put in a cooler with ice and water which as we all know takes ages to cool down - we ended up drinking the wine warm. Less than 10 mins after the starters left out mains arrived, the phad thai and green curry were good but the beef muslim curry was dissapointing - but the aftertaste of the starters still lingered.... All and all not a great expereince - maybe it was an off night. If you really like Thai try the Dee Thai in Hale - it's the same price (if not marginally cheaper), serves really fresh tasting thai food, excellent wine (even by the glass) does an express £8.50 lunch and in my humble opinion is fantastic.

Recently went here with a group of friends and was really pleased to discover such a lovely Thai in Chorlton. The food was fresh aromatic and delicious and I particularly enjoyed the mixed starter for two (Could have eaten it all over again). Will definitely return as soon as I get a chance!

carvery very good,basic food on rest of menu. great if you like chips with everything. but for the price you can't expect gourmet food.

We have visited HaHa three times since it has opened and the service is fantastic - the best we have come across for a bar chain. It is a little quiet as I think a lot of people are not aware that it is open, I hope the quality of service and food will continue to be 100% when it gets busier.

Absolute find. Varied, well cooked and presented food. Attentive staff and amazing value. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

The, now Blue Nile, was an exceptional night out. We had mixed starters, a Balti Kashmiri and a house special called the "exotica". Both of which were perfect. The restaurant was full and buzzing. The cobra beer was tasty. What more do you need from a curry house!
