Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Long time since I've been to the Wellington - my how it's changed. The list of 'guest beers' is as long as your arm, the wine list looks to be a big improvement and the rooms are just as snug as before. Shame about the food though. The sausage and mash was okay apart from the just warm trio of bangers (hint: a bit longer in the microwave next time) and the open chicken and portobello mushroom pie could have done with more sauce in the pie and hot rather than luke warm and fresh rather than dry looking accompanying vegetables. As I said it's a long time since I was last in there - it'll be even longer before I venture back.

Extremely Good! I took my staff for Christmas dinner and it was excellent. It was Friday evening and packed to the rafters but despite this we were served promptly, professionally and cheerfully. Ok it was a straightforward Christmas Menu that we had chosen but the food was faultless. Well done guys, we'll be back!!

A group of 8 of us went to Giorgio's after the Theatre this weekend. An absolutely lovely restaurant offering everything you could want from an Italian. We were shown to our table straight away upon arrival and our drinks and food orders were taken quickly. The service was prompt with just enough time between courses to feel like they weren't rushing you but hadn't forgotten you. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and anything extra we asked for, such as sauces, we received quickly and without fuss. There are a couple of different set menus which are extremely good value. I had 3 courses from the Pre-Theatre menu (available until 7pm) for £15 and definitely got my money's worth with mozzarella and tomato salad, a pizza absolutely loaded with topping and chocolate fudge cake with ice cream to finish. I will definitely be eating at Giorgio's again and would recommend it to anyone. There is plenty of choice for people of all ages and there is something to suit all tastes.

Great night spoiled by being rushed from our table. We had spent over £500 as a group, but as soon as they had our money we were asked to leave 'as there were eight ladies waiting at the bar'. Our party hadn't finished their drinks but we were hassled until we left. I believe this is unforgivable in a service industry and won't go back.

I've been living in Manchester for 10 years, and none of the so-called "Japanese" restaurants have impressed me. They are flashy, but not truly Japanese, and not even close to those you find in London. Yuzu is the real thing, a proper Japanese restaurant where Japanese people like myself appreciates the effort! The tempura is great, not greasy at all but light and crispy - as it should be, but so many restaurants get it wrong. Same can be said for the tonkatsu, which was thick and crispy yet done to perfection and still juicy. Highly recommended, and hats off to the chef!!

I have been eating at this restaurant for over a decade. It is always brilliant. The food and the service is consistently excellent. No other restaurant can compare on price or quality. The Sunday lunch 3 course for under £5 is just as well cooked and served :)

Fantastic venue! Great food and cocktails! Highly recommended.

Very good food and large portion with fair price. The owner and staff always give the best service. I think no one will be disappointed!!! Excellent experience at Ciao Bella!

Superb Thai restaurant in Chinatown,we ate a fantastic set lunch (before 4 pm 6.95 or 9.95) and what value,4 of us ate a hearty ,spicy ,tasty lunch for less than 40 quid with a drink too!!Plenty of choice in a lovely setting,best Thai in Manchester for us,and big recommendation from me.We will definitely be going again.

I went here last night after reading some fantastic reviews. My friend and I could not have been more disappointed!! The menu does not reflect the food that actually arrives at the table. The food is cheap and of very poor quality. As an example my friend ordered pasta with strips of beef. What arrived was pasta bolognese without the bolognaise!! It was mince meat too! When the chef came to the table he actually said people can't chew the beef that's why they mince it!! Mine was tasteless and of poor value. We waited 40 minutes just for the starters, then the glass of wine that we ordered came begrudgingly. The desserts weren't much better. I would not eat here again for free, nor would I recommend it. We weren't the only diners that left unhappy either!

5th time eating here and can't fault the place. Great food @ a great price... Lamb nahari is to die for,and the girlfriend has found her fav on the menu(veg karahi) And a jug of mango lassi tops the meal off. Can't wait till the Xmas menu starts... Keep up the good work.

I came in August with a friend it was my 50th birthday and we had a couple of cocktails . It was raining outside but lovely and warm inside the staff were very good and we received a warm welcome. I am going again with my sister at end of this month as she hasn't been well and think this treat would cheer her up .

It's a fun night, though more about quantity than subtlety. A buffet of 'sides' and spuds is accompanied by a slice after slice of MEAT. Beef, chicken, pork lamb, they ALL arrive on your plate in steady small quantities delivered by a man with a big skewer. No tasty sauces, this is a BBQ and ketchup place but amusing for all that.

It's alright.

Had the worst meal of my dining history last night at this restaurant. I had cannelloni and it was extremely poor quality, the meat was pale grey and fluid like and the pasta underdone. The portion size was too small if it had been edible and today I have terrible tummy ache. I'm not one for writing reviews but the food was so disgusting I don't want anyone to ruin a nice night out by eating there so have gone out of my way to write a review. Utterly dreadful!

I visited Sapporo Teppanyaki last month. I took family of various ages, who were visiting from Australia. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere and hospitality..We were so happy with the ambience that we visited three times during their short stay. The children were mesmerised by the expertise of the chefs and their knife skills.My favourite eating place ever.

Went here at the weekend - as others have said this was easily the best Japanese food in Manchester. So why was it nearly empty when other IMO inferior Japanese places are packed out?

Yuzu food was lovely. Service was really friendly and they gave us a free taster of a Japanese chicken stew which was delicious, then told us all the vegetables that were in it. It was so nice, shame that it was so quiet on a Saturday night. GO!! It's really great.
