Reviews in Manchester

22nd May 2010 - I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We had 21 people (including children) for a 60th Birthday party. Booked in advance and when we arrived we had a lovely seating area set out, air-conditioned as it was a sunny day, enough walking room for everybody. We were attended to by Matt who came and introduced himself and he didn't get any orders incorrect. All the food was served with little fuss, piping hot and enough breathing room between courses. We have been to this restaurant before (food and service has always been good) and from this many more people who I know will be going. Everybody commented on how they really appreciated the service - 5*'s from my family and I

Excellent restaurant where everything delivers. First class friendly service, gorgeous food, drinks, ambience. No matter what the occasion I have always had a fabulous time at Stocks and highly recommend a visit. The manager and staff really do go out of their way to ensure you have an enjoyable evening (or day!).

absoulute rubbish worst eating establishment ever

Went with family of 8 to ZOUK and recommend to others unreservedly,great friendly attentive service, great food and good menu and very reasonable at 99 quid for the full hit with drinks too.Easily as good if not better than its Manchester posh Indian foody rivals.High regard .

went to GBK last night and sat outside in the sun. Awesome burger as ever - had the greek lamb with hummus. Nice fat chips. Good beers to wash it down with. They've done away with the annoying order at the counter idea so that's another bonus.

This place is fabulous!!! amazing sandwiches that fill even my 7ft husband! and a great salad bar. When in Manchester or Bury we wont go anywhere else for lunch..you know its going to be excellent,tasty and very well priced. A guilty secret of mine is to buy a take away lemon cheesecake and eat it in the bath at home...heaven! Also great to use as a deli the ciabatta and sun dried tomatoes are to die for! Top Marks!

I was visiting from California and craving Japanese food and happened to stumble upon this place whilst on a walk with my bf. He's a local and hadn't tried it either, so we thought we would give it a whirl. We went for the buffet, all you can eat style, I'm a very big eater, and frequent all you can eat sushi places all the time. My hunger is rarely satisfied =O. When I ate the buffet at Tokyo Season, not only was the food selection amazing, but I seriously was so satisfied I couldn't eat anything for the rest of the day! I had to come back again just to eat there another time! After eating there i couldn't get enough of the place. THEIR GYOZA IS AMAZING! *sigh* I can't wait to go back to Manchester again so I can eat there. I miss it =[

I am a regular eat in - takeout freak, the food is the best in the North West, I would never consider eating out anywhere else, The staff are so friendly and make you feel special. Well done Mr Khan and staff.

The service here is fantastic ! ' Peeno' ( English pronunciation) is the owner and really looks after you. prides himself on good food and good service. Once you try, you will def come back !!

The takeaway and restaurant have to be the finest examples of both in the North West. To be honest, trading standards should insist that other takeaways call their meat/pitta/salad combinations something other than 'kebab' as this should be reserved for Turkish Delight alone! The tomato sauce and hot chilli sauce are to die for, as is the excellent hummus. Don't forget to ask for it on yufka!

Fabulous restaurant. Food is of the highest quality and just as important, the staff are first class and are a credit to the restaurant Dined here on many occasions, whether it be a quite meal with my partner or a larger group celebration and have had a wonderful evening everytime... The only problem you may have is choosing which of the many delicious sounding dishes to choose from. Although i highly recommend the chicken livers for starter and duck for main.

Been here 3 times with friends and we just hoping that it is going to improve. I think it has now had the final chance. Starters are good, as are the deserts. Unfortunately the mains let the menu down IMO. Unless you go for a steak, which are usually pretty good, On some of the mains it is pretty obvious that they have reduced the portion size in order to sell more courses. This the only restaurant where i can eat 3 courses. Anywhere else 2 courses and I'm done. The service can be poor, as in separate components of everyone's mains arriving minutes apart, instead of all at the same time. Our friends - who live in Bromley Cross - and ourselves will be looking elsewhere in future.

Been to La Lupa 4 times now , each time the food has been excellent , the staff are fantastic atmosphere is lovely would recommend this restaurant to anyone .

Went to your other restaurant last night and have to say I was quite disappointed ... I really used to love San Tapas, good food & good atmosphere but last night the food was way below standard ! I guess if you are drinking alot of Sangria the food will taste better.For example the king prawns were not fresh by any means, the meats were tough, the olives ( i have had a better olive mixture at Morrisons), and Manuel...no comment

I ate at the hale grill last week with my husband, service was fantastic, we opted for the 10oz sirloin which was cooked to perfection and the home made chips were amazing. we will definitely be coming back

My favourite town centre eatery, gets better every time. been on a girlie party night which was fantastic, and a few times since with hubby or mum. the service is great, and the food is MUCH better than that other mass produced well known tapas chain, better value and quality and more authentic flavours. Mum particularly loved the king prawns tonight and i love the chicken in tomato, peppers and chilli. The bread's always extra fresh and comes with tasty dips. menu is so vast that even though the tapas are small, you could never eat everything you fancied off the menu - but it's nice to try!

Gave La Salsa a try after looking for a good offer, i was really surprised by the choice available and the quality of the food. Excellent value for money, well worth a trip.

We visited the Pearl restaurant for the first time this last Sunday night. We'd rung ahead of time to check what time the last table could be booked, which is 9.30pm & arrived just before. The food was really lovely and we had a platter for two as a starter. The staff were really friendly and helpful as well. We decided to take our delicious main courses home as a take away because one waiter paced up and down to see if we had finish our starters when we clearly hadn't which was a little uncomfortable as we were sat on the back wall of the restaurant. I would definitely visit again as on the whole the food and level of service was very good, everyone has bad days I guess!
