Reviews in Manchester City Centre

This was my second visit to this unique restaurant. Last time I was impressed with the Lobster and equally so this time, with my steak. Starters were also tiptop as was the house Rioja. Would recommend the hotel the restaurant is housed in, as a place to stay, if in Manchester too.

Me and my boyfriend was recommended Annie's by a friend! But when she went Jennie wasn't there to greet her to much by my suprise she was when I visited! I went on a Sunday, the waiting area is gorgeous to have so e drinks and a catch up, as I went on a Sunday I thought I'd try the Sunday roast!! And the mash potatoe!! Oh my, amazing! Literally melted in the mouth, ill definitely be back for afternoon tea! Gorgeous restaurant with friendly staff x

This venue is very disappointing. The service is appalling and the food is very mediocre. A small dispute over the bill lead to the owner of the restaurant shouting abuse and swearing loudly in the middle of a relatively busy restaurant issuing threats and calling the police (who took my side much to his frustration), in spite of my own calm and polite approach to the matter. It was embarrassing and something i have never expect from a restaurant. It ruined my evening and made other customers feel very uncomfortable. To add insult to injury, the food itself is also of lower quality than its competitors nearby. I strong word of advice - AVOID!

Excellent

We had my Wife's Birthday meal Friday evening. Great atmosphere, good food, and a real buzz in the place. A minor hiccup during service was recovered with support from the senior management, and we left late, having had a great time and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a really good time , with good quality food at reasonable prices.

My husband and I had dinner on Saturday 30th March. It was a little tricky to get to as we'd decided to take the car, so for the benefit of future visitors we would suggest parking at the Arndale NCP and take a cab to the top of Old Bank Street. This is a superb venue, when you first arrive through the door you are greeted by friendly staff in the lounge. It felt so warming and informal in the way it is furnished. We were then led downstairs to be greeted by head waiter who gave such a pleasant greeting. The service really is superb, there was always someone attending to your every need, but without being intrusive. The place was bustling with people, with tables of two to larger parties, you could hear the humorous banter and chatter and the background music was just perfect. The menu was my problem, I wanted everything, I even joked could you do me a buffet of taster options ha ha....full credit to the chef as they really have considered their options. We had to start Bury Black Pudding Spring Rolls....oh they were so good, light crispy batter and the black pudding was a soft texture. I've never seen black pudding served like tat before. Mains were steak, trimmed and cooked perfectly in fact my husband said it was the best steak he'd ever had; whist I opted for Vegetable Cobbler with Cheese Scones and enjoyed very bit. It's rare that I get to dessert but found room for Sticky Toffee Pudding with Custard - very moist sponge and the toffee sauce finished it well. Jenny came around and spoke to everyone which I thought was rather a nice personal touch. The decoration is quite informal but you get a mix of dress, so you wouldn't be out of place in a nice dress or jeans. Jenny and Chris your staff have really done you proud, thank you for making our 'date night' very memorable - needless to say we shall be coming again soon with friends and family.

Been in a few times now and i'ts always been good and now they have even more choice, best buffet in manchester

Got to be the worst food and service I have ever had. Curry was slop in a bowl. I couldn't tell the difference between different dishes on the table. I think it must all come from one central slop bucket. The staff were rude and the place has no atmosphere. The only thing that was edible was the rice and that was over priced. There are much nicer places to get a good curry in Manchester. I would not eat here again, even if it was free. 

Recently visited manzil after it was recommended to me by my friends I was pleasantly shocked as to how good it was. The food decor and friendly staff give the place a really relaxing experience. Far better than the nawab, try it you certainly will not be disappointed

Brilliant food, loved it. recommend it to everyone :)

My friend and I came to the restaurant last night as she has been before and raves about it. I'm pleased to say the food was as she had described...beautiful. Yes it was a touch pricey and not something I could do every week but worth every penny. The staff were very pleasant 10/10 will definitely come again. A great way to finish what had been a great day.

I'm a supprort worker and have taken many of my service users to the Peking court. they love it the food is amazing, the price is good and the hospitatility is second to none. would definitely go again.

Had business lunch with an important client. I had heard a lot about it. It was truly fantastic and my client was overwhelmed with the service, great food and ambience of restaurant. I personally think its the best restaurant in Manchester. Taking my wife on valentines :)

Combined the £10 main course and galss of wine lunchtime offer with a starter and dessert, total cost £20. Excellent veggie food, makes a change not to have to select from the also rans on a meat eaters menu. Shows what a bit of thought to a menu can do.

I went to this restaurant over the weekend. I was very impressed by the freshness of the fish and the chefs extensive knowledge. The sashimi is the perfect thickness. My little one loves the Eel rice. Definately going back there again. Highle recommend the plum wine. Excellent service and cosy environment. Must go!

Great variety, Great place the best quality buffet i've had at very affordable price.

Went here for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant is comfy and looks very good, modern but comfortable. I like the way the restaurant is open to the bar area giving a relaxed feeling to dining here. We were welcomed warmly and drinks followed quickly. On ordering my wife had steak and I had lobster, we thought it only fitting to try both! The steak was very tender and cooked expertly. The lobster was great. I had it grilled and it really was very enjoyable. This restaurant is excellent value for money and of a very high standard. The restaurant staff were all very efficient and friendly, chatting easily with all of the customers. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner and will be returning when next in Manchester!!

Stayed at this fantastic hotel on friday night with my wife and we were both very impressed! On arrival we were welcomed and checked in effeciently and quickly. The room was a mix of modern and original features with high ceilings. It was very comfortable with every "mod-con" you could need really. We decided on lunch at the MC Cafe Bar
