Went with my friend last night (9.10.14) for the set menu, where it is £12.95 if you eat before 7.00 pm. When we got the bill a £4.95 supplement had been added to the bill because we had the steak, which wasn't that big anyway, and not worth the money!! Why have a set menu for a certain price, and then just add £4.95 to it; the waiter didn't get it at all when it was brought up with him. His answer was "everywhere else does it!" That is not the case. They are ripping the public off. Food is nice, pity about the bill and the staff attitude

Very good food and service. One critism, there wasn't really an early bird menu available. You basically have to select the cheapest options from the main menu that would come to around £20, so not really an offer....

My partner and ate at Jem & I for the first time last week. The food was wonderful, perfectly cooked, seasoned and spiced. My partners main course of monk fish was "The best meal I've ever had'. My mushroom risotto was also very good. We shared a sticky toffee pudding dessert and again it was beautiful in taste, texture, and presentation. Importantly no teaspoon of sauce here but a generous portion. Service was excellent.

Fantastic food, very disappointing service. We were booked in at 9.15pm on Sat night and it seemed that the staff couldn't wait to get rid of us. Staff became a bit friendlier after we had given a tip but up to that point they clearly just wanted to go home. Don't take bookings if you don't want people on at that time.

Sorry, I don't see all the compliments for this place. Food was okay, not terrible by any means, but certainly not worth the prices - the quality is no better than an average gastropub. None of my friends who live in Didsbury would ever go there, so I'm wondering whether all the positive reviews have been written by staff during their breaks - a surefire way to bring people into your restaurant without doing the work!

I went out with friends on Friday to Jem and I. I have been a number of times but this time the service was awful - we had to keep asking, there was no atmosphere and the food was ok but all overprice, won't be hurrying back.

I just had lunch at Jem & I on Saturday during the lunch express and was looking forward to eating their since it was recommended by many friends for the food. I was very disappointed by the quality of the food. My partner and I have been out to many meals at different restaurants and haven't experienced food that we weren't happy with. We ordered the gnocchi and the rissotto. We did not even finish the food we ordered. The gnocchi was something that we could have easily gone to Aldis to buy the ingredients and make. The rissotto was very salty and had a small portion size. When are plates were taken away we were never asked at any point how are meal was. We will not be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

It's over 12 months since we ate here. Thoroughly enjoyed it last 3 occasions. Oh dear! visited 20/10/09 standards have dropped considerably. Food was just ok NOT amazing as previously also little touches like a dead plant on the window sill in ladies loo don't make a good impression. Always have recommended that friends & family visit Jem & I but won't be in too much of a rush to send people there now. Very average sadly
