Reviews in Manchester

Amazing... One of our favourite places to eat and drink. Excellent quality food and beers and cocktails, really attentive, friendly staff. We look forward to each visit.

Great food and service, only issue was a long wait between the main and desert. but will call in again soon

Our second visit. As always, amazing food, wonderful atmosphere. The best pomegranate wine I have tasted anywhere. Great service. This is my new favourite restaurant in Manchester. I will probably drive 400 miles just to have a meal here. Totally value for money!

Tapasnight is EXTREMELY popular as it should be. Food was a little slow coming out but probably purely because tapas night is still new. Super friendly, awesome food

Food was lovey as always, we've been so many times and it's always delicious Service was great apart from my partner having a glass of wine tipped over him, didn't really get an apology from any of the team working there on the evening His meal was replaced very quickly Wouldn't stop us from eating here again though Just disappointed there wasn't a sorry from anybody

I visited the Rising Moon for lunch.....the food was lovely and plentiful and would definitely recommend going. My only criticism was the ratio of staff to customers. Not sure of the set up, but except for having the order taken and plates cleared we were not approached by any staff members, or caught the eye of passing staff when wanting to order more drinks or the bill. I feel that this needs to be addressed going forward.

Fantastic food great staff good atmosphere. Lovely surroundings. Best cheese and onion pie I've ever had. Service a little slow but it was quite busy.

I booked this restaurant after reading the good reviews. I didn't see a kids menu but there was quite a good menu on the website. We turned up and were hurriedly sat down to a harrassed waiter and told kids can have most things on the menu. We then ordered drinks and i ordered the house white wine not knowing it was £11 per glass!!! My fault. My sister ordered pink gin but clearly didn't receive it but when asked if it was pink she got the waiter grumbled yeah. We asked another waitress if they actually had pink gin. She said yes and re ordered it again. This time it was. We ordered spaghetti bol for my 6 year old daughter thinking it would be a safe option.... it turned up and was very spicy, too spicy for a child. And since when is spaghetti bol spicy? On the whole the whole experienced was not enjoyable. The waiter was not friendly at all and seemed annoyed that we were there!!! The drinks were way too expensive and for kids is a no. Oh and the garlic bread didn't taste of garlic, more like buttered bread!

Absolutely fantastic service and even better food. The best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommend this place and perfect location if you’re visiting the theatre.

Overall would recommend

Pleasant evening. Food was good and the service was friendly and efficient. Not massively big portions however it was tasty.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal recently and would recommend the restaurant. The food and service were excellent .

Excellent meal, can’t complement the chef enough, service was perfect such nice friendly staff, would definitely go back.

Took our 8 year old granddaughter for a Jubilee lunch which we all enjoyed. We had the Sea Bass from the specials board which was a good portion & very tasty. The Staff were friendly & attentive. Quirky setting with unusual things on the walls.

Food was quite nice. However we were charged £11.95 for a tikka massala sauce. Not meat, no veg. Just tell sauce. We ordered poppadoms that never arrived but we’re still on the bill (removed no problem as soon as I asked) a class of coke was £3.85! The price absolutely put me off going again. Service was very slow, minimal conversation.

Went to the Rio on the evening of the 2nd June. Been before and always enjoyed the visit. However, on this occasion, shortly after we had been served drinks and first course, the fire alarm went off in the restaurant. No guidance was given as the staff were trying to trace the source of the alarm. We carried on eating without any chance of conversation due to the piercing noise of the alarm within the restaurant. Several customers walked out. We were given our main course with the alarm still sounding We finished the meal and were given the bill. No compensation was offered and we paid the bill in full. Clearly this was a very disappointing visit to the Rio and we feel that we should have been offered some form of compensation.

Late lunch for 2. Pasta very good. Staff friendly and attentive. Enjoyed.

Always delicious food and consistently so. Staff always polite and attentive with great service. many thanks
