Reviews in Manchester

First time diner having visited many other local restaurants. The Lounge has nice interior, service functional, good choice of menu but some dishes on Sunday night not available. Starters of mushroom and artisan bread very disappointing, plaice excellent, really nicely cooked, pork well cooked but for £13 not value for money. On balance not enough to lure back again given prices of dishes.

If you want your food served with a smile, hot and tasty... don't eat here! We don't go out for a meal that often so thought we'd give the Owls a go as it's local. If you want fast food but not the usual burgers then this is your place. Our starters of Garlic Mushrooms were actually tasteless onion soup with a couple of mushrooms. The main of Lasagne tasted of the cheese sauce on top and not much else, the included garlic bread was just tasteless and cold. The Rump Steak however was cooked well and fairly tasty and served with a substantial serving of chips (tasty & hot) and a bit of veg (cold and limp). Deserts of choc fudge cake (an extra £2.50) and meringue with ice cream and fruit coulis were probably the best bits, although the meringue was obviously shop bought and the ice cream was of the cheap variety. The staff couldn't have cared less, with our starters literally thrown at us and the cutlery dumped in the middle of the table. They were then whipped away as we put our forks down, main course was dumped in front of us then they eventually cleared it and once we had our dessert menus we were ignored for 10 minutes. When our desserts were brought out we got our first smile of the night! Overall we wouldn't suggest or recommend it but if you're after something cheap and quick this is your place. We will not be returning.

Excellent food an really good service would recommend to other people. good first time and finished an entire curry !

Excellent service, superb food, a good local clientele, good fair pricing but above all really nice people, especially the dark haired girl called Nat.

pizzas very good ,pints of peroni on draft nice

Gorgeous venue, lovely bar area with low lighting. Restaurant just as lovely, tables not too close together. Food fantastic, retro with a a modern twist. One of favourite places to eat in Manchester, will definitely be back.

5 STAR ***** We have been going La Roma now for about a year. We love eating here and love the Wine even more. Their food is always prepared beautifully and tastes amazing strongly recommend any sea food, pasta dishes and strongly recommend the house Red. The prices are very reasonable and if you become a regular like us they offer stamps with discount for next visit. We live near by and love the location of the Restaurant with the Bridge over the River. Also we enjoy sitting round after the meal near the fire in the bar area. Most of the staff are Italian, they all make you feel welcome and provide brilliant service. You must Go Go Go !!! Kind Regards Andy & Jen

Great night out in Castlefield. Albert's Shed got it wright with staff, level of service and quality of food. Thank you.

fab night, can not fault anything. Service was attentive and not over intrusive, food cooked to perfection. A warm welcome from blonde short hair manager (sorry didn't get her name). Def will be back.

22nd May 2010 - I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We had 21 people (including children) for a 60th Birthday party. Booked in advance and when we arrived we had a lovely seating area set out, air-conditioned as it was a sunny day, enough walking room for everybody. We were attended to by Matt who came and introduced himself and he didn't get any orders incorrect. All the food was served with little fuss, piping hot and enough breathing room between courses. We have been to this restaurant before (food and service has always been good) and from this many more people who I know will be going. Everybody commented on how they really appreciated the service - 5*'s from my family and I

Excellent restaurant where everything delivers. First class friendly service, gorgeous food, drinks, ambience. No matter what the occasion I have always had a fabulous time at Stocks and highly recommend a visit. The manager and staff really do go out of their way to ensure you have an enjoyable evening (or day!).

absoulute rubbish worst eating establishment ever

Went with family of 8 to ZOUK and recommend to others unreservedly,great friendly attentive service, great food and good menu and very reasonable at 99 quid for the full hit with drinks too.Easily as good if not better than its Manchester posh Indian foody rivals.High regard .

went to GBK last night and sat outside in the sun. Awesome burger as ever - had the greek lamb with hummus. Nice fat chips. Good beers to wash it down with. They've done away with the annoying order at the counter idea so that's another bonus.

This place is fabulous!!! amazing sandwiches that fill even my 7ft husband! and a great salad bar. When in Manchester or Bury we wont go anywhere else for lunch..you know its going to be excellent,tasty and very well priced. A guilty secret of mine is to buy a take away lemon cheesecake and eat it in the bath at home...heaven! Also great to use as a deli the ciabatta and sun dried tomatoes are to die for! Top Marks!

I was visiting from California and craving Japanese food and happened to stumble upon this place whilst on a walk with my bf. He's a local and hadn't tried it either, so we thought we would give it a whirl. We went for the buffet, all you can eat style, I'm a very big eater, and frequent all you can eat sushi places all the time. My hunger is rarely satisfied =O. When I ate the buffet at Tokyo Season, not only was the food selection amazing, but I seriously was so satisfied I couldn't eat anything for the rest of the day! I had to come back again just to eat there another time! After eating there i couldn't get enough of the place. THEIR GYOZA IS AMAZING! *sigh* I can't wait to go back to Manchester again so I can eat there. I miss it =[

I am a regular eat in - takeout freak, the food is the best in the North West, I would never consider eating out anywhere else, The staff are so friendly and make you feel special. Well done Mr Khan and staff.

The service here is fantastic ! ' Peeno' ( English pronunciation) is the owner and really looks after you. prides himself on good food and good service. Once you try, you will def come back !!
