Reviews in Manchester

Not one of the best chinese meals we've ever had - went post-theatre perhaps this was the downfall, never waited so long for crispy duck! Sept 2007

I have been here to this restaurant since opening, it has always drove me mad that they are sooooooooooo over attentive. they've obviously not changed that. But the food is fantastic, still go, don't let over attentive staff put you off. It does make you feel a little awkward though. Don't put your knife and fork down though till you've finished eating hahahaha!!

We eat at Piccolino regularly and thoroughly enjoy the food and atmosphere. We like it that much that we have recently married and held our Wedding Reception at Piccolino Manchester. Ettore and the waiters made our day very special by providing us and our guests with first class food and service and we thank them very much for making our day a fabulous success.

Although I've enjoyed many nice meals here and found the service generally very good there is no escaping that Smiths is becomming tired.The menus are hit and miss ,repetitive and frankly dated-each month sees a variation on soup, heavy cream sauces, stodgy meats and the decor is in need of a spruce up. With competition like the new contemporary chinese restaurant next door I think it would be a shame for Smiths to lose out for believing in its own hype a little too much.

We Love Croma - fab pizza's, they always accommodate - no booking required, nice bar area. If you can't decide between the pizza toppings, they will do half and half! Good value for money and great atmosphere. MWHC girls who like to lunch

Great for familys, I have a two year old, very well catered for, they get a balloon, an activity pack, they don't mind when your child trys to demolish the place by flinging spaghetti. Very helpful staff. Been lots of times, menu to suit everyone, great kids one smaller portions and junior portions, very varied adult one with something for everyone, garlic mushrooms, to potato skins, to burgers to prawns.... puddings are fab. not rushed. great

Having been to this restaurant on many occasions since it has been opened I have always enjoyed the food. But in the last couple of visits it seems to have deteriorated. The beef fajitas had very little meat (fatty), in fact they were just full of peppers, the burgers were undercooked and the service was slow. I have since stopped going and coincidentally have heard on many occasions from friends and colleagues how they too are disappointed with the restaurant that used to be lovely as now gone to pot! Also the menus smell like sick

Really let down with the food this time around, I had a burger which was black on the outside and red in the middle! It tasted like it had been cooked a week ago and re heated! Not impressed as not the cheapest burger I have had! £11. Prawn starter also was a let down and was straight out of a freezer bag!

Wings Manchester, outstanding service ,superb atmosphere(v busy even on wed evening book ahead) delicious food,cannot fault the place ,highly highly recommended,the best Chinese in Manchester easily.

Disappointing - much too noisy for conversation. Tables too close together. Food OK, but I've had better elsewhere. We arrived 10 minutes before our booked time and were asked to wait elsewhere - we were told there was a range of pubs nearby!

The Tavern is great for a family lunch, with a good choice of food which is tasty and filling.

We have been to the restaurant on several occasion, and the quality of the food never ceases to amaze. The sevice is proffesional, courteous, and timely. We recently celebrated a birthday at the venue, and althought there were almost 30 guests, the quality of food, and the standard of service didn't suffer at all. A definate must try if you want good food, served well, at a reasonable price.

Reflections restaurant serves excellent food, however customer care and service is not a priority here.

perfect for all occasions love the food like the open cooking area wide selection of wines and sambucca! not expensive, absolutely perfect!

good

Impeccable service, divine food and idyllic environment! Thank you for a perfect evening!

I have used this place every week for the last 6 months. Since the refurb it has really improved. No locals as such lots of tourists and business men. Good choice of beers and a very good menu. Only problem when it's really busy the food can take a while.

What a lovely restaurant. Myself and some friends visited Nam Ploy after a bad experience at Mai Thai, the other thai restaurant in Bolton. I could not have been more delighted. The place is beautiful, the service attentive yet not overbearing and the whole meal was under £100 for 4 starters, mains, deserts and 2 drinks each. Can not rate highly enough.
