Reviews in Manchester

We try to visit every 5 weeks as we live in Wigan the staff always make us welcome and never forget a face we just love the food and specially the lamb chops starters they are brill we only go to the spicy hut now and we have tried a lot of Indian restaurants in the area it is simply the best see you all in 3 weeks Kathy and Malc if you go ask for the special

I came here when it first opened and it was quite good then. The food was average and the set menu was very limited. The atmosphere was good with two birthday parties. The staff need to be more aware what's going on as we were approached three times in five minutes asking if we wanted any drinks

well presented tasty food this restaurant will do well

This pub does what it does well but don't they go on about it! Yes, the chips are real but let's not get too excited about the ability to fry a potato. The menu is poorly written with smug comments about not serving cr*p to children and well done steak being like shoe leather. The beer is very well kept but a wider selection would be nice. The landlord's ego is catered for with lots of pictures of himself and family( and their unsung charity work!) dotted around the place. This makes the customer feel like a visitor in someones home and , as a result, one doesn't feel like outstaying one's welcome.

This was our 3rd attempt to eat here. The other 2 times we missed service by going too late. Food was excellent I had a superb fish and chips and the missus had a steak which she thoroughly enjoyed. Everything looked and tasted like it was freshly prepared, not a frozen chip in site. Highly recommended. Ring to make sure before travelling.

Took my family and parents the other night, great value again at £10.95 for 3 courses, food excellent, but what made it was the attentive staff and the ambience of the place. I do hope the only thing they change here from time to time is the menu they have a winning formula with the small cosy setting and very good food. Well done again

I think rigaletto's was fantastic, the staff were brilliant, and look after your every need. The food is of an extremely high standard and would highly recommend anyone who hasn? been to get there straight away.

What can I say, everytime I have eaten at La Vina or just popped in for a drink I have had wonderful, fun and lively evenings. The staff are friendly, helpful and fun and the food is of a quality standard and the menu choice is wide and full of variety. One thing I'll never forget about La Vina is that I met the most gorgeous and attractive man who I've been seeing ever since!!!!!!!!

What a quaint little place we visited last night. We went for the Meze banquet and the food was very good and very filling - couldn't manage a dessert, although we were given a taster. Definitely will visit again. Good for large parties

a first class, family run restaurant. the food is authentic, well cooked Italian cuisine, and there is an excellent wine list available. we are always made most welcome on our visits to the casa, and our experiences go all the way back over the eighteen years that Roberto and the late Giuseppe have owned the restaurant. highly recommended.

I've been here a few times. The food here is a cut above your average indian. Every dish I've had is full of flavour. I would recommend it to anyone.

Not just for large groups. I visited with a friend on a Thursday and had a great time. We were thoughtfully seated with couples and a small party of three. Service was top class very friendly and but unobtrusive. Great wine list too. Seafood combination and land and sea were great, more expensive but very large portions. Sushi very fresh.

Myself and my partner have visited the English Lounge several times, and have not been disappointed each time! Always friendly staff, excellent food and value for money. Whenever we have family to stay we always go to the English Lounge! Stacey and Dan

This is the possibly the best restaurant in Wigan. Every time we have been the food has been outstanding. The staff can appear a little disinterested & stand offish but don't let that put you off. Service is swift if not always attentive.

the standard was not standard it was 1st class . i went in on Saturday its undergoing a transformation and i say it is looking good . one waiter called alim was very helpful he made us feel welcome and recommended a dish called sharzane murgi althogh it was busy he got out of way 2 make sure we was taken care of

Absolutely gorgeous. Manchester has been waiting for a restaurant like this. The best Asian cuisine in Manchester and a stunning interior and bar too. Very good all round, and thoroughly impressed.

We visit at least once a month, the manager always come over for a chat - very friendly and the foods excellent value.

The staff are all excellent and it's a real shame that the food doesn't come up to scratch. Mid week the food seems to be more palatable than at the weekends. More time was spent on the presentation than ensuring that the food was hot. They need to take a leaf from Nectar's in Hale - locally sourced produce (where possible). Gordon Ramsay would whip the kitchen and menu into shape. I sincerely hope that things improve so that I can enjoy a local venue and feel rest assured that the quality of food will be consistent.
