Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Like most of the diners, a pre-dinner meal. My partner had the two course pre-dinner meal and me A la carte. started with brochettes. Sadly, the toast had been sat there for some time with tomatoes on them. I think we all know what that means! So, I requested fresh toast. What I received was fresh sweet bread not toasted. Not a good start! Main course was a seafood pasta, I can’t fault it. In fact it was seafood with pasta so no problems all in all an adequate meal which included 2 large glasses of wine and a coffee. Price £68 including the 10% service charge. Would we return? Possibly. Marks out of the 10; 3 for my starter and 8 for main course. The manager, Leo deserves special mention for his attention to us. However, tell his cooks it isn’t difficult to cook fresh toast! Even I can do that!

I booked a table at this restaurant on Wednesday 17th July 2019 for 2 people to eat at 21.15 the following day, Thursday 18th July 2019. On the morning of Thursday 18th July 2019 I received an email confirming my booking. Unfortunately, when we turned up at the restaurant at 21.10 it was shut, lights out, roller blinds down. I can understand problems with refurbishments and building work overruns but there really is no excuse not to send 1 short text to let booked customers know.

Lovely food, great service and a perfect location.

Excellent pre-theatre fare. The food is good, the ambience excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive. They will move at the pace you wish, so there's no rush unless you require it. All round, very good in all departments.

Perfect for eating before a event at the Bridgewater Hall

Our recent visit was fabulous as always, this is why we keep coming back every time we're in Manchester.

Another excellent pre concert meal with prompt, efficient and friendly service.

Excellent food and service. Friendly and efficient staff. Always prompt so that we can get to the Bridgewater in plenty of time and happy!

My go to place in Manchester! Music, food and drink!

Saturday early evening after a matinee at the theatre and having booked a table we were greeted with an air of indifference by the front of house waiter. We were seated and given the set menu to peruse whilst waiting for the 3rd member if our party and ordered some drinks and water for the table. Whilst we were looking at the menu another couple were brought to a table beside us and aswell as the set menu they were given the al a carte menu we could tell from how the waiter spoke to them that they were regulars. A waiter came to take our order so I asked if there was another menu to look at and he was happy to provide this. The drinks arrived but no water which I had to request again. Our 3rd member arrived but he had not been seated long before a waiter came to ask us if we were ready to order when we said not quite he asked if he could take our orders whilst our 3rd member decided what to have!!! When the starters arrived one of them was wrong and two if us had already almost finished by the time the correct item was brought. After that no other problems and the food was lovely. I know that at the time we went they were catering for pre theatre but maybe it would be a good idea to be a bit more attentive to people spending money in their establishment not everyone is in a rush!

Friendly service, good value pre theatre menu ....food was delicious

I was really pleased to find Giorgio, took Partner before going to theatre. As soon as we walked in we were met by smiling faces and the staff were like that all night long and were also attentive all during the meal, I read that some people think the food is expensive but I thought it was right price for good food. we will definitely go back now we have found this little Gem.

Excellent food and service .Very large portions .

Great restaurant, booked here for just before a show at palace theatre. Quick friendly service with great food and very attentive and understanding of our allergies. Very polite and helpful staff

Did not like service charge added to the bill. More expensive than before. Food and service still good. Wine too dear. So handy f Bridgewater Hall.

Absolutely brilliant, great food, great service and great value for money. Staff really knowledgable about the dishes and ingredients Will be back soon, looking forward to the menu being expanded to include South African Steaks in the near future Cannot recommend this wonderful restaurant highly enough Thank you, a great find
