Reviews in Manchester

Yum yum yum. Love a good noodle bar and this one is the best.

Great meal at Thom's today. One of my favourite places in Manchester. There used to be more information about the place on this website? I often pop in for a cheeky pint too.

My wife and I went here last saturday night after shopping, walked in saw empty tables and asked for a table for 2. We were told that the restaurant was fully booked and we not get a table till at least 9 oclock. We were eventually offered a table in the bar area right next to the front door, but we were hungry and accepted. A steady stream of people were showing up ad hoc only to be told there were no tables, when there were at least 8 without anyone at them, they were being directed to a sister restaurant elsewhere. This was unbelievable....anyway, the food was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary. The other gripe was that I payed the bill in cash and was not offered my change, but was ushered out if the restaurant very quickly by the maitre D'. All in all a disappointing vist.

Fantastic pub, atmosphere and food. Never known any trouble or rowdyness.

We booked a table for 10, deposit paid. We were split into 2 tables. Immediately on arrival one lady ordered the baguette. The other 8 chose the carvery. 20 mins after people began to eat the carvery the baguette arrived (in total 35 minutes since ordering) This was accompanied by a stone cold Yorkshire pudding and barely warm roast potatoes. The puddings took 15 mins to serve, one at once with lengthy gaps in between. Same situation with the coffee - most people finishing before others were served. One being so cold it was returned. The waitress appeared to be the only one on duty, rushing around and understandably very surly. Our last venture to the Rudyard was a disaster and we were told it had improved - no such luck!

This was my first visit to the Trafford Centre and to this amazing restaurant, what a wonderful experience, the staff were so friendly and nothing to much trouble, the traditional 'Good Bye' was warming. Above all the food was out of this world, just wish I could eat here every night. Thanks to everyone, i'll be back very soon.

Wow, what a treat with the girls. Not surprised that Manchester House is considered the best restaurant in Manchester. Great bar upstairs as well. No need to go anywhere else!

I ordered at Mei Dim in Chinatown Manchester. Ordered egg fried noodles and my friend ordered chow mein, mine was just egg yoke over crispy hard noodles which were disgusting and hard, the chow mein was the same noodles with uncooked chicken which looked like slimy snails. We each tried a little spoon of the food and it was vile! The manager was called out who was rude and said we would still have to pay for one of the dishes, I didnt mind paying but would have been common courtesy not to charge if the customer has not eaten the food and didnt find it satisfactory, do not recommend please avoid!

Been to the Horseshoe for tea tonight and have to say was the best meal I've had for ages . Slow cooked beef, creamy mash and veg. Was cooked to perfection. For dessert creme brulee.The meal and service was excellent, will definitely be going again soon.

Wow, love it! Meat sweats haha.

I had a really bad experience with the restaurant manager who was rude and not capable of doing his job properly. I booked a table at Per Tutti Manchester over the phone stating that I found an offer through Manchester City Card for 25 off total food bill. It was confirmed and me and my husband arrived at the restaurant and had a nice, relaxing dinner…. until we were then told that we had to pay the full price. The manager announced that they do not accept our discount card. I asked why this was not stated at the time of booking for which he replied he thought we meant a different discount card. I then tried showing him that his restaurant is indeed advertised on the Manchester City Card discount website plus we got 50 off on the same card a few months earlier. He suggested that I am lying and this must be a mistake as his till does not list this card. He then added that either way he could not do anything about it at 9pm. I carried on explaining that I do not believe that this is an excuse and that their customers should not be affected by a failure on their part. I believe they should be responsible for knowing what discounts Per Tutti offers on-line, otherwise is just a simple mis-selling. Throughout the entire conversation the restaurant manager was constantly interrupting me, all his responses were rude and he managed to get me really annoyed, which completely RUINED the evening for me and my husband. I have nothing bad to say about the food or the ambiance, but be careful when booking with Per Tutti as they do not seem to value their clients and have no understanding of what the good service is. The restaurant manager was so “good” that he definitely lost a client over the £10 discount. If you want to be treated right do not go to this restaurant as you are going to be confronted with rude, unqualified and disrespectful management.

Had a lovely time with the family at the Duke of York, fab food and customer service, not sure I agree with Paula as they were the best chips I've had in ages, proper home cooked chip can't beat them!!!

I booked Erico's for my sons 21st birthday. The staff could not be more helpful. We went in the day to decorate the room and the staff helped. The room looked fantastic. 36 people ate..36 enjoyed the whole experience. Brilliant atmosphere. Friendly staff. They even let me set some fireworks off. Fantastic service. Very good meal. Thank you Erico's for helping to make a special memory x

I am really disappointed with the quality and taste of food in this restaurant. If one has never had Persian food and is a novice, well can't tell the difference anyway. But for me as Persian, jojokabab isn't persian, made the Indian way which is totally unacceptable (call it tikka not jojekabab). Mirzaghasemi is tasteless and not the way should be. Sorry to say that this restaurant like the one in Cheadle, is going bust unless the chef starts cooking real food.

I visited the Duke of York recently and I have to say that given this is a small pub, it provided better quality than some of the top end restaurants in Manchester. The food was great- home cooked and the staff service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Because we liked it so much we went to their special tapas night- the food was great, freshly cooked and great atmosphere- Recommend highly recommended, Beckie

Fazenda offers a really fantastic dining experience in beautiful surroundings with tip top service. It serves Gaucho and Brazilian inspired food. A real meat fest presented in a very novel way. Waiters appear at your table with a variety of meats on skewers which are cut and put on your plate. The quality of meat is very high and you can choose from about 10 different cuts. The 'salad bar' is like no other I have seen. Get rid of the image of a Harvester salad bar. This is high end accompaniments to your meat. I think you can eat away for about 2 hours. Our wine by the glass was excellent and next time we will get stuck into the wine list proper. The ambience exudes sophistication and calm. It would appear no expense has been spared. Fazenda has about 4 private dining rooms that look perfect for a party. The staff have clearly been very well trained. One could argue that you don't get time to yourself as waiters continually arrive with food. However each table has a card that can be turned over to indicate that you wish a break. We will return and expect that this venue will do very well indeed.

I have just been to the duke of York with my three children for a birthday treat and I was very disappointed. We waited for a hour and twenty mins for our food so I went and asked how long it would be. We got our food soon after, all of our chips were burnt
