No longer a Thai, excellent British/Italian food on offer. New management, great atmosphere,good wines and cask ales ! worth a visit

We have eaten at Coco's a few times now and have had a fantastic meal every time. The restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere and the service is spot on.

Well, what can I say, the food was the best I have ever had in my entire life! (and I've been to many indian restaurants!) Staff was very welcoming, especially the manager. However was very disappointed as I didn't see any of the 'good looking' people mentioned in other reviews. Other than that, yes I agree, Ashraf was the friendliest waiter! Defo recommend Spice Lounge for the whole family. We will definitely go there again!

Have eaten at Chesters a few times before. Took Mum for her 80th. Like the new look. The menu & specials were very good. Pepe & staff were excellent as ever. A really nice evening was enoyed by all four generations. Thanks Pepe

Highly recommended. Went for a really enjoyable meal on a Friday night. Lovely atmosphere. Really good quality excellent tasting, reasonably priced food. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

I dined here at the weekend and found the service extremely friendly and attentive. The food was great and they were accommodating to our request to move tables. Would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic meal at Namaste Nepal on Friday evening. Had a huge menu which included a good mix of favourites and new delights. Between the great service and delicious food, we will certainly be returning.

Had a lovely meal here last week and would recommend to everyone. The service was friendly, the restaurant was clean and the recent refurbishment, including the new bouncy carpet, was top draw.

Visited the cuerdley cross spice of india with my friends and happy to say the food, drinks, atmosphere and service was excellent! Definitely recommended!!!

We visited early Saturday evening.

What a fantastic meal. The service, the meal and the atmosphere.

Could not fault anything.

A must visit. Probably the best Italian in Stockport or even further.

the takeaway food is the best in chester by far. exellent all round.

food always excellent- sunday buffet well worth while. just wish they would stop adding the extra vat rate on the bill(its been over a year now!)

Just been for Sunday lunch with the family. Everyone enjoyed the food, there is a huge choice, have been to this kind of restaurant before and this is excellent value. Friendly staff and a bright airy restuarant.

We've just been to the Sunday buffet at the Cheshire Tandoori & was very impressed. There was a good selection, everything was fresh & very tasty & for £7.95 per head it's a fantastic deal. Would highly recommend it.

If you're not keen on eating halal meat or food or can't eat it for faith related reasons, this is the only Indian restaurant I could find in Macc that do non-halal food! way hey!

Absoulutely delicious
I am not from the area but called in by chance with friends. It was exceptional. Staff excellent and outstanding food. Wish I lived closer

Excellent food and friendly service. They provide dishes with a difference.Best curry for miles!

Ate with kinaray loads of times, fast service, very friendly and good banter on a night out with mates. Just an all round nice place to be and gorgeous food.

This is an absolutely fantastic restaurant, the staff offer brilliant service with amazing food to match, nothing you can ask is beyond their capability, The fact you can see the food being cooked is also a great visual aspect within the restaurant. The food is one of the best meals i have had in a long time, with a range of flavours in every dish, i had the steak which was fantastic, its also great to see an italian cuisine restaurant that's actually ran by an Italian family, a definite 10/10 in my book and a great taste of Italy not to be missed. Me and my friends will defiantly be back very soon to see what else we can sink our teeth into. Thank you for a great night Abruzzo Restaurant & Staff. x x

Went to Halligans last Sunday. Great meal (as usual) at a good price. Despite the January 'fixed price' offer they didn't cut down on the portions and we only just managed to fit in a sweet. Staff, as always, are friendly and attentive. Recommended

Called in for an early evening meal and were made to feel very welcome. Food was excellent and we will be eating there again soon.

Been to Vatikka and had delivery from there a number of times now. every time the food is excellent particularly the tapas, great idea!!! portions are huge, service relaxed environment great, cant fault it

Had a really nice meal there, black pudding starter was great and the chicken curry hot and tasty. Michele had the sea bass and thoroughly enjoyed it. As a bonus the locally brewed beer is excellent, shame we were both driving!

Every time we have been to Valencia, we have had a fantastic meal. We love spanish food, love good but not too expensive wine. We had 6 tapas and bread with a bottle of very good house wine for under £50.00 for two of us. The atmosphere was just like being in spain - people talking over good food and some good wine. Has my vote - just wish we could go more often........

Ate at the Swettenham Arms last night 25 January, Wonderful food and very pleasant service. Highly recommend the lamb.

We have tried many Indian Restaurants over the years and Spice Lounge tops the lot. Excellent service, Excellent Menu and most important Excellent Food. Keep it up lads.

Great food, and accomodated 20+ people with minimal fuss. Can get very busy at weekends.

Went there for lunch to day with friends. A nice friendly atmosphere, good food and remarkably cheap as compared with most other pubs in the area. Good luck to them.

We have been many times and the quality and service always prove to be exceptional, every time. The staff they have are superb also with a friendly greeting before and during the meal, will definately be going back, because this restaurant is bucking the trend by consistantly being busy, day after day! Keep up the good work.

We visit this pub with friends on a fairly regular basis for lunch. The atmosphere is friendly,the food is first rate and generous. I would not hesitate to recommend this pup to anyone.

Great food and great service - we mentioned you in our blog as the check in services could have been better utilised with the free wifi advertised properly

Food, service and atmosphere perfect and the restaurant was full early on a Monday night! very rare this time of year!

We visited Konak on Sunday evening and were delighted with the food, service and atmosphere. We would definitely go back again 10/10.

a wonderful evening was had saturday 21st january with exellent food + service having been to intercontinental in london for a lunch this was right up there in food standard + what a excellent setting

I went to The Springbrook for the first time the other day. I was very surprised that they had a lift for Disabled. They have a good range of Vegetarian dishes but I was a bit disappointed with the pasta dish that I had, My husband had a chicken BBQ dish which he said was nice.We did ask the waiting staff for a refill whilst we were eating and never got one, we did have the bill thrown at us and the bar chap was more interested in the lady drinking on her own than serving me with the bill. Customer courtesy is hard to find these days and you need to be smiling and ask did you enjoy your meal, hope to see you again...we didn't get this which was a shame because the other comments on here say the staff are great, maybe we went on their off day , who knows, any how give it a try and make your own mind up. Post a comment and I hope you enjoy your meal.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant with fab food and a freindly atmosphere. Love it

We have both visted the pub and have never been dissappointed, the staff are very friendly and always around when there needed, the food is freshly prepared and well presented by the high quality chefs and we will certainly be visting again.

Another wonderful meal here, the flavours surpass anything else and we'll keep returning!

An excellent meal, very good service, the food was superb and the portions very decent! Positives - super staff, the garlic bread is fabulous, hubbie says the mushy peas are the best he has had to date, and the beer was good! My brulee to finish was delicious!! Just one or 2 criticisms if I may - I was very cold and ate with my coat on, and hubbie states that because the black pudding was so thick that some more sauce would have been appreciated. Overall - we were very pleased and will definitely return, by far one of the best eating experiences in Cheshire!

Highly recommended. It was our second visit to this fabulous restaurant, this time we took our family and children. The restaurant opens at 5.30, so was perfect to take the kids and make sure we didn't disturb any romantic diners. The food is fabulous and we all had the early bird 2 courses and wine. The portions are excellent, but only come with potato and you need to pay extra for veg. The desserts are gorgeous, especially the chocolate mousse, with a hint of chilli. The staff were very professional and friendly, but didn't pester you with questions throughout the meal. Will definitely be going back.

Absolutely love the Jade Garden, we are regular customers, food is great, Simon & Maggie are great hosts, nothing is too much trouble, best Thai and Chinese in area as far as we are concerned.

Brilliant food. eaten there three times now, each time excellent. Reasonably priced.

Great restaurant, brilliant service and amazing food. The specials board at Amici is especially impressive with a wide variety of tasty very reasonably priced deliscious options. I noticed during my last visit that they are now doing an early bird offer with an option of a two course or three course deal with the meal choices changing monthly - great idea i will definitely be trying this out .

Amici is definitely my favorite Italian, the staff are very friendly and accomodating and the food is really tasty. I usually just go for a meal with my partner of family, but recently i experienced the amici party night, it was a beautiful three course meal thena disco, it was a great atmosphere and much less hectic than a club but still ample space to have a boogie :) good work guys

I had only been to this restaurant once when I decided to hold my birthday meal there. Spectacular food and excellent value for money, particularly the early bird menu - under £11 for three courses! Highly recommended for anyone

friends and I have regularly enjoyed the Sunday banquet and never disappointed.We have been coming along for years Food is amazing!Staff are very friendly and service is spot on.

Myself and my fiance visited here on a Saturday evening (21st Jan) at 7pm. We are getting married in a couple of weeks and were looking for somewhere local and reasonable for dinner. We were looking for somewere new and found Marco Marco. Their website advertised an early diner deal which upon attempting to book, we were told no longer existed. We have a hi-life card and we were told over the phone that we could use this on our booking. Upon arrival, we were welcomed and enjoyed the atmosphere. However after perusing the menu, we showed the waiter (?manager) our hi-life card. We were told in a stern manner that this was not permitted on a weekend. We advised that we had made the booking after being told that we cold. The manager sternly told us he would not accept it despite his staff member telling us otherwise. The manner in which this was communicated offended us considerably and we were amazed at the lack of customer service. We potentially would have brought family and friends to this restaurant but after explaining we would be reluctant to do so, the waiter/manager said 'that's fine'. We were upset and deeply disappointed.

Visited this pub end of 2011 had a lovely experience, the management and staff were very accommodating, service for Sunday lunch had finished but they managed to rustle up three lovely meals for myself my friend and my daughter. The manager himself made sure that everything we needed was tended too! He also introduced us to the other patrons when we explained that we were visitors to the area. Everybody without exception was very friendly. It was surprisingly full (daytime) I thought public houses were on the wain but this place looked as if it was thriving. If I am down that way again I would definitely call in. Go see for yourself x Only critique is accessibility for disabled people if you are ambulant disabled like myself not too bad at all but if a wheelchair user no accessible toilets, probably due to size of building. But a lovely area outside the front of the pub though.

We first visited here on boxing day 2011 and have been back a further 3 times since! The food is lovely and the service is spot on! Will be regulars there!

Ate here this week and the food was lovely. Fresh, well presented, timely and tasty. Very friendly atmosphere. Recommend it.

10/10....Indian food is one thing that me and the missus both agree on, and everytime we dine at the Brasserie our expectations are exceeded. Great food, friendly staff, and good prices deliver a great experience everytime, and keep us going back for more. No other curry house in chester comes close.........keep up the good work lads.

Love this place. Not been for years until last week and was pleasantly surprised. Food was delicious, loved the decor. Staff so helpful (in fact my car broke down & the chef went home to get some jump leads for me!) A great experience, I'll certainly be recommending The Swan to my friends and family!

We eat here regularly after enjoying outings to the park with all 4 dogs~the food is always very tasty and staff are all so friendly and provide water bowls for our pets in the outdoor garden area

Good food and music, but have heard of several people being shortchanged at this bar so do keep an eye on them!!

The best Indian restaurant in town, truly tasty food, served piping hot and with attention to detail in the presentation, try the Chicken Bengal Sizzler, recommend by the waiter and I will be going back to order it again.

The Alderley balti , has built a great reputation now in the village the friendly staff along with the great management this restaurant offers is fantastic , the traditional (balti ghost) curry that my pal ATIF got me hucked on to is OUT OFF THIS WORLD , since I have been dining at this great establishment I have really enjoyed my visit , MUST SAY BEST INDIAN EVer well done guys keep up the great hardwork.

Fantastic evening. Excellent food staff and entertainment. Will definitely return. 10/10

Excellent food and very reasonable prices, friendly welcoming service. The pizzas are especially good but there isn't a bad dish on the menu. Sometimes a short wait to get your table but that's because they are deservedly busy.

We have had several meals here and it is always spot on. The staff are very friendly and helpful, we highly recommend this pub. A great place thanks to all the staff

wow jenirics is fantastic!!! the food is amazing, i love how you are able to choose your own fresh ingredients and the chefs cook it in front of you.

Fantastic food and friendly environment. My kids love it too especially the 'help yourself' ice cream machine. The staff are always very helpful and families are always welcome.

We would recommend Jenirics to everyone. Give them a try and you wont be disappointed.

Excellent location, recent lunchtime visit was first class. The menu choice was extensive and service was very good. Certainly worth a visit.

5 star :)

I am a firm believer that if you receive exceptional service then that should be praised to the highest level. Last night I had arranged (at short notice) a surprise 40th Birthday for my wife (30 guests). I first met up with the general manager (Richard - sorry last name unknown) on Wednesday 11th January. Immediately, I was impressed with his 'can do attitude', his professionalism, his knowledge and politeness. His staff, from reception to bar staff where also courteous, helpful and extremely pleasant - and this was just whilst I was awaiting an appointment with Richard.
Richard helped me plan a menu and the itinery for the evening, even down to special dietary requirements for one of the guests.
Then came the evening itself. What can I say ?!!! Richard, his team of staff where nothing short of exceptional. The food the chef provided was first class - full of flavours and very inventive. (one small complaint - I never got to thank the chef personally - he deserved a BIG well done). The staff were attentive without being overley fussy, provided a first class service and every single guest commented on how lovely the evening was, how wonderful the staff were and how great the food was.
I do hope sincerely that this email reaches the highest level of Corus Hotels Group and that my feelings are documented to Richard and his staff.
Myself, my wife and children will certainly be going back to sample more of the same.
Huge congratulations and well done - thank you very much for a fantastic evening.
Many Thanks
Paul & Cath

We have been going to the Bunga Raya since it first opened in Stockport and continue to visit at regular intervals now its in Hazel Grove. The food is fabulous, really fresh and very tasty. The owner Peter is exceptionally friendly and when you leave its like leaving a friends house. Highly reccomended 5 *****

I visited CU with my husband, our son and his partner on Friday the 13th.
I can honestly say there was nothing unlucky on that day. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special and this continued throughout the evening. The service was outstanding being not too quick but not having to wait ages between courses. This was particularly impressive as there was a surprise 40th party of about 30 people who took their seats just after us. How the chef managed it I do not know.
The food was first class and although we had previous reservations about the size of the servings, we were pleasantly surprised and by the end of the evening we were all 'stuffed' as the expression goes. We were all also very impressed with the range of dishes on offer for each course. Very innovative.
I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to any of my friends - we really enjoyed it - one of the best meals we have had.

We occasionally visit Giulio's midweek and have always enjoyed doing so. Unfortunately, we last week had the misfortune to be served by the Lady of the House whose body language and facial expression clearly indicated that she would rather be doing something else. I am sorry to have to say this, but her husband should remain 'front of house'. At least he has a genuine welcome for customers old and new. On the plus side, the food and wine were excellent.

Visited the restaurant for the first time on Saturday. All our company were blown over by it,s quality, friendliness and decour. We recommend any food loveing people to make sure you give this fabulous outlet a visit

I would highly recommend this place for freshly prepared food and a great atmosphere. They will gladly tweak anything on the menu to your requirements and are always friendly and helpful. The steak and onion ciabatini is amazing; ask for grilled cheese on it! Great place

On behalf of the MG Octagon Car Club (South Manchester) many thanks to all your staff who contributed to the wonderful evening we all had on Tuesday 10th January 2012.
The room decoration etc, table arrangement and settings, food and service were all excellent. Thank you all very much.

Had a very happy family meal here just after Christmas. Very friendly greeting and service, well cooked food, fairly priced. We will return!

A very pleasant evening recommend the Chef's specials

Have been here twice now for birthday meals, has been excellent both times, all the staff and Ricardo are brilliant and can't do enough to help you, I can't wait to go back again mmmm meat!

First time we were not disappointed. Delicious food and good service, the staff could not have been more helpful. . The food is fresh, tasty and of very high quality. Highly recommended.
Excellent value for money. Will be back soon

Had a lovely meal tonight, highlight has to be unbelievably tender lamb kebab! Great atmosphere, lovely decor, friendly waitress... Cant wait to go again.

Thought we would try as it was our favourite restaurant, and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the food cooked to perfection, looking forward to our next visit.

Went to Elmas for the first time last night (14/1/12). Food was great, Staff were very friendly and professional, atmospere pitched perfectly. Extremely pleasant evening and will be returning soon (to see the proposed water fountain).

Really great place amazing food with quality meat. We onl had an hour and they did all they could to make sure we got out on time. We will be back very soon with friends

great service and lovely food good value for money will return

Went for a relaxed birthday meal, service was friendly and great, and food really nice! Very well presented for a country pub and all tasted home made. Highlight of evening was receiving a free bottle of wine for my birthday which was very thoughtful. Will definately be visiting again soon!

Evening at Toms with friends. Good food and great entertainment by Kayley Rose!

Called in on the off chance for a business mans lunch. The price was incredible value for the standard of food and I HAD to leave a tip.

I'll be back for sure!

Lovely!

Chicken Rogan Josh! You will not find a better version of this meal anywhere on this planet. Incredible!

Best prawn toast in the world. the staff are always very friendly too. Highly recomended

An absolutely fantastic restaurant. Friendly staff, wonderful service, excellent food and well worth the money. Highly recommend it.

Friendly staff, good service, nice surroundings GREAT food!! It was so nice to go to an indian restaurant and eat a curry and be able to taste the spices and flavours! Really good varied menu. Myself and my partner had differnet curries and they were both lovely and flavoursome! Will definitely be returning!!

great venue, love a bit of history and on my doorstep as well. Enjoyable food, consistently good but don't go as often as I'd like to. More gluten and dairy free options please!

A great experience, lovely food, gorgeous wine overlooking the gardens on a cold but sunny day, what else do you need!

We wanted somewhere different and think we found it. Really nice place and really happy that it was easy to park at. A nice reception on entering and escorted to a table overlooking the gardens and the food really scored well. Chicken and ham pie and an amazing steak with fat chips but we were too full for a dessert each so shared the chocolate pudding, yum! I need the recipe!

Just had the £10 lunch menu and it was quite simply outstanding and when coupled with their customer service (which is much improved) this is a lunch time experience I want to scream about DELICIOUS! I even found myself licking the knife!

Fantastic,me and Andrea always have a good night out. You get well looked after by the staff and the food is the best curry in Gtr Manchester Sammy certainly knows how to cook

have been going to Anmol for a few years now, i can't recomend it enough. great service / staff and excellent food.
off there again tonight!

A very good evening - 10 of us had delicious food and flawless service last night (12 Jan 2012). I have been going to this restaurant at least once a year since it opened many years ago and it has been consistently good.

Three friends and I went to Marmaris for our post Christmas meal last night. The atmosphere was good, the food excellent and well presented and the price was reasonable. Our waitress was calm, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We all agreed that we would go back.

curry cottage is the best food

A party of 4 of us visited the Marco Marco last Tuesday evening for the first time. It was a great evening with superb food in very nice surroundings and excellent staff. We all came away agreeing what a great place to dine and when are we going back. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten track but you will not be disappointed when you get there.

We have been visiting Frogg Manor for years and have yet to find a more magical place to be, despite travelling widely, both at home and abroad! We have recently enjoyed the delights of staying over, rather than just dining and are gradually working our way through the various fabulous rooms and suites. We are due to stay in a couple of weeks for my husband's birthday and have booked the Guinnevere - the tree house, and I can't wait!!!! John and Charlee are such wonderful hosts and whenever we visit we are treated more like old friends than paying guests. Vive le Frogg!

Visited just before Christmas - great food - great service, plan to go back really soon.

Good value for money and delivery time not too long.

Hi, we would like to thank you for making our 40th wedding celebrations so memorable. We all had a wonderful meal with excellent service in a warm and cosy atmosphere. All our party of friends and family commented on the quality of the food and the unhurried friendly service which allowed us to feel at home, chatting and eating at our leisure. Thank you and your staff so much for allowing us to progress through the meal at our own pace, even though you were obviously very busy. We will certainly recommend your restaurant to others and return ourselves in the near future.

Super staff, exquisite food and a beautiful interior. Choice of dining in Dining Room or in Pub in very comfortable surroundings. Will certainly return!!!! Lovely garden area outside for wonderful family day out and food in a spacious garden,

Had a wonderful evening dining with friends in the lovely conservatory restaurant. Food was excellent (very tasty), service was superb and staff were very friendly. Will definitely be visiting there again.

I can honestly say the best meal I have had for taste and on a par with Northcote Manor. There were 4 of us and we all had delicious meals, full of flavour. The service was excellent and have recommended to many friends since our visit in December. Keep up the good work.On the pricey side however well worth that extra

Absolutely stunning food and service. Can not fault any part of it. Had a wonderful evening.

what can I say this place is full of suprise. Waiters are very attentive and friendly and twin brothers are very good at reccomending a dish which you will enjoy :)

What a delightful little place! Excellent food and bar staff who are in the know about cocktails.. Very refreshing. We were served by a lovely (handsome!) waiter and a lovely young scottish lady, who made me and my husband feel very welcome. An unpretetious atmosphere and a relaxed pace of dining.We will be back!

Very good service and lovely hot meal and plenty of it, would go again.

Visited this restaurant after being referred, and it was fabulous. Great service, ambience and wonderful food and drink. They list the suppliers they use for locally sourced food which is good to see. Good meat, fish and vegetarian selection also.
Great experience, good balance of upscale pub, with gastro food and drink. Great if you like good Belgium tap beer and excellent wine. Will definitely return!

Having gone to this restaurant for dinner on a Friday night, we thought we would try having New Year's eve there. What a great time we had, five of us in total, Pilone, Patricia and the whole team went the extra mile and made it a great night. Thank you we will be back very soon.

My girlfriend and I used the early bird special offer last week and Azad Manzil was a treat! The price was brilliant, the staff were incredibly friendly (always smiling) and the food...the food was superb. We will certainly be returning!

i would definitely recommend this restaurant as the food was amazing and excellent customer service, staff were very attentive and friendly and plus i could bring my own wine

Visited the Fox last night (07/01/2012). I am not one for writing comments/recommendations but on this occasion I must complement the staff and the chief on what can only be described as a perfect evening from the four people that were in the party.
The food was fantastic and cooked just as it was requested, the service to the table was very pleasant and we were allowed the time to enjoy each course we had without the finish one course and the next is in front of you. If you are looking for a good meal at a good price in a nice atmosphere look no further.10/10

Been to the Stag a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed what I have had. If I had one critisism it would be the male bartender who is the most miserable person I have ever come across, definitely not a people person, he let's the whole atmosphere of the pub down, won't stop me dinig there though.

Had a post Christmas 'girlie' get-together lunch - it was lovely, the place was warm and welcoming, just like the staff. The food was excellent and thoughtfully presented. It felt very special and will certainly be visiting again.

wishing well has changed name to jenkinsons bistro
and is the friendliest place I have ever been in Cheshire. the food is all home made and you have to meet lopez from Madeira and try the home made salmon spring onion fish cakes,cottage pie liver onions

Have visited ego twice in two weeks. Fantastic restaurant, lovely food and very helpful staff. There is one waiter who we had on both occasions who made our night! Would definitely recommend.

Visited the Egerton Arms today 07/01/12. Celebrated my father in laws birthday and had my 2 yr old with me who doesnt like being restrained in a high chair! The pub provides a play corner with lots of toys and books to keep little ones occupied. The food was lovely and again provided a child's knife and fork. This place really caters for families with young children. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food and very friendly we have been eating here for years,its got everything taste,atmosphere and great service.

We have been going here for years both eating in and takeaway. It used to be called wings until recently but it still had the same staff and no changes with the food. The food is amazing and I have not been disappointed once. The service is also what makes you come back repeatedly. Staff are so friendly. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! You must try :-)

Lovely , friendly staff. Really enjoyable place, my vote for best pub in Didsbury.
New Years eve do, a triumphe, a big thanks to all
involved.

we celebrated my wifes 60th birthday at marshalls,the food and service were second to none we supplied a birthday cake which they brought out at the right timeas well as a complementary bottle of champagne ! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, we will certainly be back in the near future.

We visited on 5/1/12. This was our second visit to the restaurant, the first, which some time ago was not the greatest of experiences due to poor service and we had given it a wide berth as a result. We decided to give it another go and we are so glad we did. The new management have vastly improved the standard of service and the quality of the food was on par with the Grill on the Square in Warrington. I would not have previously recommended this restaurant under its old regime, but i would now! The only minor item is that the menu on this website does not reflect what is available in house, the one in house is better!!

We had a meal for 5 people at the Victoria on Christmas Day. The food was amazing - all locally sourced and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was lovely - i felt like i was in an old Christmas movie. Think it might become an annual tradition!

The food was delicious. I had the duck hot pot for main and would definitely recommend it. The restaurant was a little quiet, shame more people weren't enjoying the food food. Staff attentive and friendly

The food is always great, as is the service. Very welcoming staff. Best Italian in Manchester

Really really nice fresh food, not greasy and very tasty. Went for a meal with the boyfriend and we took our own drinks. The staff are great and it's excellent value for money. Definitely worth a visit.

been to pacinos loads of times, never had a bad meal, would highly recommend it

Saw previous review and have to agree, great music and bar, but staff seem to take £1 tip even when not offered!!

I live in chester and for the first time went to oddfellows today with my sister, we went in to order from the day menu. The staff was very friendly and food excellent alot!!!!! better than some we have eating in before.I will be asking my husband to take me back again at night to try out the other great meals on the menu plus a bottle of wine.Thank you for a great service today

Excellent food and service very friendly lovely decor

New Years eve 2011 £15 per head money well spent, excellent evening and value for money. Tasters served constantly through the evening by friendly staff all of which tasted great. Good entertainment not over crowded just nice would certainly book again.

Visited for lunch just before christmas and was very impressed.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, we had a toddler with us and they brought him colouring crayons and old menus to keep him occupied.

Restuarant was busy, but we weren't kept waiting long and the food was fantastic. Really good quality ingredients and really tasty dishes.

Would highly recommend

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, amasing food.
Thank you for a great night!

We booked a table at the restaurant using a Groupon Voucher, we went between Christmas and New Year - we were warmly greeted, the menu was lovely, staff warm and friendly and there was live music - all in all a lovely experience, so much so, we have booked to go back again next week!! - The Groupon voucher really worked !!!

We spent New Years Eve and was very happy. We had a three course meal with fillet steak rossini all for £30.00 and then had a Siniatra tribute act and then a disco in Macs.....Fab nigt and will be returning

Super restaurant. Took my 12 year old daughter and three friends as her birthday treat and were delighted with the service and hospitality, they were even happy to seat my husband and I a little way from the girls (so as not to cramp their style!) The food was delicious, piping hot and freshly made and reasonably priced. Would definitely return, highly recommended.

My husband recently took me for a nice romantic evening which ended in a visit to Butterfly. A lovely restaurant with plenty of room between tables. The food was lovely and plenty of it, there was a lovely atmosphere but most of all the service was first class and the staff were incredibly friendly which made all the difference. We had such a great time that we did the same again between Christmas and New Year and not surprisingly got exactly the same excellent service. Needless to say we will definitely do it again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Always excellent. Been a regular visitor over the years.
Will miss you. Best wishes to you both.

Fantastic meal xcellant service, cpl of hours listening 2 live music while the girls danced the nite away, made welcome by the locals really chilled atmosphere, we r goin 2 start goin every wk !!!

visited the Pad Thai over Christmas. Was one of the best meals had in a long time. Very reasonable and excellent service. Food of a very high standard., Excellent.......well worth a visit.

We dined as a party of four on the 'Xmas menu' and the experience was delightful from start to finish. A lovely, welcoming atmosphere, all of the waiters were very sociable and efficient in every way. The choice of dishes was more than adequate and we all were impressed by the quality and presentation of everything we ate. At the end of a very enjoyable and relaxing evening the Chef/Director paid a visit to our table, obviously for feedback and marketing purposes but this was done in a polite, brief and non-obtrusive manner and in fact it was nice to have the opportunity to praise his skills and those of his staff. If you happen to be in the area, do take the opportunity to experience Lock 57. If you're not in the area, make a special trip - it'll be worth it.

Visited The Artichoke several times for 'Sunday Heaven' and also attended a couple of educational parties / school do & graduation do
all have been a superb presentation of HOT excellent food... even better than home

Spent a very enjoyable new years eve at the restaurant, the staff were friendly and extremely accomodating. The chefs even changed an item off the set menu for me so i didn't miss any of the courses. The food, service and setting was excellent and we have booked again for the mad hatters tea party night at the end of january and also valentines night. This is definately a restaurant worth visiting.

I have eaten in this restaurant many times over the passed months with my dear wife Janet and never have we had a bad meal.In fact this restaurant is improving its dishes each time we go.We went in for New Years eve for a set menu it was truly fantastic the tastes were to die for,staff are all we mannered.A great place you have to give credit when due. Keep up the great service an food congratulations to the chief.

We ate here on new years eve. The food was fantastic along with very friendly staff! This made the overall ambiance very relaxing. An excellent way to bring in the new year, we will definitely be going again!

We went for New Years Eve the food was excellent the service was very good it was not overpriced.

We went for new years eve and found the food delicious and service excellent- staff were very attentive. Would definitely recommend for special occasions!! We will be going again very soon.

Went along not expecting much but the food and service were superb. We had a table of four and every meal was as good as any top restaurant but what stood out was the value for money. For the quality of food they serve I have regularly paid more than double their prices and I would strongly advise a visit to this great restaurant.

The only slight negative was that they did not have a high chair although the staff were superb with children.

Had a simply terrific early evening meal on New Years Eve at the Spice Lounge. I never give anyone a 10, but the Culcheth Spice Lounge would definitely get 9.9 !! Excellent service and delicious food - highly recommend it !!!!

We have walked past this place so many times....What a mistake! Ate there last night - amazing food, hospitality, atmosphere this place is a hidden gem! Loved it!

Always wonderful service & food - our favourite restaurant in Europe

The recently refurbished Badger Inn provided an excellent setting for our meal.
A varied menu of high quality food, very well presented and served. A fabulous experience. I can definitely recommend.

AMAZING PIZZA! I love this place would defo recommend to anyone!

Music really good, atmosphere really good... but check your change!!!!

Fantastic meal, lovely staff & a very warm welcome, LOVE IT!!!!

Just had the nicest home-made chocolate brownie in the world!

Myself and 6 friends came to Francos Mad Friday (23rd Dec) for a girly xmas get-together and what a treat it was! The food was superb, the atmosphere electric and the staff were friendly and helpful. My tuna salad started was so tasty, if a little too large, but if thats the only negative I can think of then I am happy to say so! The live artist was also a very nice touch with a mix of music to suite all tastes which ended our meal perfectly. Thanks Franco and all the staff. Will be coming back in no time!

had an extremely pleasant evening here. The food was very good value for money and very enjoyable

My friend and I visited gallimores the week before xmas for lunch. we chose off the 2 courses for £8.95 menu. I can honestly say its one of the best meals I have ever tasted and the price was incredible! FANTASTIC

We arrived a just in time to order lunch, great food, good service, nice friendly staff, good bitter, We have been a few times this year but will be visiting again early new year.

Definitely recommend this restaurant. The service was brilliant, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was not only delicious but we got generous portions and its not overpriced. Would highly recommend the platter for 2 main course (but ask for the pittas seperate rather than underneath the meats) There is also a very good atmosphere with a superb singer which sets the mood for the evening. We have already booked to go back for New years eve because we love it so much! Thank you very much to all the lovely staff and the chef.

The best Italian restaurant I've been to in years. I took a big client to the restaurant, so there were 12 of us. The service and food was really nice and the price very reasonable for the location. It's a personable, friendly atmosphere and if you want to treat someone for a really nice dinner, I strongly recommend this.

Friendly staff and superb food . Really like the buffet

Christmas Day dinner excellent!! could not fault anything, fantastic meal great atmosphere will definitely be returning very soon

Have not yet had a meal in the restaurant but have had takeaways many times. Can honestly say that every meal we have had has been excellent. Best Indian takeaway we have had by a long way.

We visited for lunch on Christmas Eve, the food, the staff , the atmosphere was 1st class, great manager who is also a comedian who made us both smile...
Will definitely be paying another visit in the New-Year!

We had booked an evening Christmas meal for 24 people. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and extremely efficient.

The food was very, very good, with generous portion sizes, cooked to order and served piping hot. Requests for additions or changes to our previously placed orders were all met with the words 'no problem' which appears to be the motto at The Swan.

The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and well worth a visit.

We had our work Christmas meal at Lock 57 on 9th December 2011. It was fantastic. Very stylish tasty food served by great staff. The three course meal price was very good value. We will be back.

There is no where better absolutely superb not only the food but the welcome also.

visited The Phad Thai and had one of the best tastiest meals ever...my wife is a vegetarian and finds it difficult to get nice food but at the Phad Thai there was no problem. The staff are really nice and helpful In fact we liked it thet much we have booked again

Went for the Sunday Buffet-around £9 each for as much really tasty Indian food as you can eat plus friendly staff and probably the nicest looking Indian restaurant I've been to-excellent!

A big thank you to Stuart & Lorraine, what a wonderful restaurant you have created. unbelievably excellent service, atmosphere and food. You couldn't ask for more. Hope the great standards are kept by the new owners. good luck. Shirley x

Excellent, very good food at a very good price and really friendly staff in a lovely restaurant-can't ask for more really!

After a terrible experience leading to the writing a very negative review, we had a conversation with the owners of the restaurant, and everything was put right. A massive leap in the right direction - a personal telphone number of the owners, with the invitation to speak directly with them and explain the problems, each of which have been eradicated. What excellent treatment. We are looking forward to returning again and again to this restaurant, which was a firm favourite. Thanks to the handling of our complaint by the owners, it shall be again. It is wonderful to know, in these days of automation and facelessness, we can actually speak directly with the people who are willing and able to put things right. Very well done Cabrelli Family...

Average- okay but nothing special but the staff were friendly.

What a fantastic restaurant, have been many times and the food and staff are great.

Great night out had a work party booked for Christmas, the service was on time and the food was excellent, did not know much about this place until someone recommended it, but glad we tried it out.

Five of us went for a Christmas meal, Emma the owner went out of her way to ensure the evening went smoothly, the staff were fantastic, the food was delightful!!

Great service and even better food! The place is tiny and looks a bit like a cafe inside, a shame really. But worth a visit for a good Italian meal

fantastic, the duck in orange sauce is to die for, just a shame its not always on the menu

Parking - easy
Staff - very attentive and friendly
Food - Wonderful
Return - you bet

Just a brief note to say how much all our party enjoyed our food,drinks and excellent service yesterday. It was as good as previous years and no doubt we will be back again next December for our Annual family get together. Delighted to report that everyone got home OK. Total return mileage for everyone was just over 1600!!!!! Many Thanks again and Best Wishes for the festive season to you all.

Dear Christopher on behalf of the band I cannot begin to thank you enough for all the care and attention we received last night. Each and everyone felt welcomed and commented as they left on the high quality of the service and delicious food. The ability to establish such an ambience the moment one walks through the door of either of your hostelries is a gift you have in spades. We are all too keenly aware that constant appraisal and attention to detail are the only successful methods of maintaining standards. We consider ourselves lucky to have you in such close proximately and look forward to many more evenings of feasting and merriment.

Absolutely amazing meal, and the most friendly staff. Strongly recommend to everyone who love fresh food and great dining experience! Thank you for making our night special

Phad Thai came highly recommended from a friend who had been several times, four of us 'young ladies' went on a friday night and the food was amazing! piping hot and beautifully presented. The staff were very welcoming and even opened a bottle of champange that one of us had brought. A truly enjoyable evening and perfect food

Another good meal at Helter Skelter - invariably good food and great for the kids.

Excellent

I often visit Marshall's and find every time I have a truly enjoyable experience due to the warming atmosphere, friendly staff and quality food.

Best curry house in Sale!!! We have been going over the last 5 years and we have always had the best service. Even had birthday parties there which were ace. Would recommend this curry house to anyone.

Excellent time here on Saturday night. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere so welcoming and the staff were really friendly. Looking forward to returning and trying the rest of the menu.

Went on a Friday for Christmas night out - thought it might be a bit posh and stuffy to relax and have a good time but how wrong I was. Welcomed at door by Brian, Prague was an efficient, professional and hands on manager. Staff friendly and efficient; food delicious and beautifully presented. Live jazz/swing music by two young lads on piano and drums created a relaxed, friendly atmosphere - the icing on the cake - would love to hear more of them. Can't wait to return.

Fantastic food! We went to the newly re-opened White Apron and had a lovely meal. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We will be going back again very soon.

I went to Marchall's last night for my works xmas party, (WBC) the food was fabulous, the service was excellent, a top class restaurant, highly recommended

been a few times, meal deals are great value, cant get a take away for the same price. great food!

I visited Relish with two friends for the first time a few weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised. The interior was very inviting, as were the cakes on display. We ordered paninis, which was accompanied by Relish chips, which were delicious. I would certainly recommend, and visit again. Friendly staff, and excellent value.

We dropped in for a meal after spotting it had recently reopened, the new owners were very friendly and the food and service was excellent. We will be back!

My first visit to The Swan was yesterday, It was Excellent,
Friendly Staff, Quality Food,Great Service.
I shall be revisiting soon.

Fantastic surroundings, and wonderfully fresh food, but what made our experience authentic and special was our waiter, Antonio, he was a polite, charming ITALIAN man who shared his knowledge of food and provided service with a professional flourish. A true asset to this new venture, We will be back!

We went to the launch party in Aug this year and sampled bits of the menu, it was such a brilliant night we we already planning to come back. We ate at the Tollemache in Dec the food was fantastic, you have got to and see the Xmas decorations they are out of this world, a lovely idea is a Post Box where my granddaughter wrote to Santa, we called in a week later and there was a letter for Sophie on the tree, hats off to the Tollemache for making a little girls xmas, Merry Xmas Rachel & Ed and we will be back soom

To start with, I would heartily recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be going back.

This is an ideal place for anyone who wants a change from the usual styles of food (Italian, Indian, Chinese, etc.). The menu is extensive and there are plenty of vegetarian choices.

The décor is pleasant, the staff were friendly, helpful and efficient (as well as being excellent at producing good food). With the traditional music playing it was easy to forget that you were in the middle of Hazel Grove on the A6 !!

All the food we had was excellent...

I went for the Mamaliguta Cu Branza (Polenta) which was very tasty (and quite filling) followed by Iahnue De Fasole (Beans and Smoked Meats). This was an amazing dish, served in a bread case, the filling and the bread were very tasty and a lot of work had gone into producing this dish.

My wife, who is vegetarian (and dislikes goat's cheese that you seem to get everywhere these days), was spoilt for choice and went for the Fasole Facaluita (Tomato Topped Beans) which was very tasty, followed by Gratar De Legume (Grilled Vegetables) which reminded us of the 'Vegetable Plate' that we often have on holidays to Eastern Europe.

Being quite full after all this, we shared a home-made pudding which was the special of the day, this was also very nice.

The Romanian wine was of a high standard and reasonably priced, more than a match for it's counterparts from France, Italy, Australia, etc.

It was a little quiet for a Saturday night which I why I want to spread the word as the quality of this restaurant was really good in every aspect and people wanting a change from the usual should certainly give it a try.

Had a great time at Flutes, superb food, excellent service and very friendly staff, I would recomend this place to anyone and I hope to go back very soon, The Sea Bass was the best Ive had, Thanks

Visited on the evening of 14/12/11. The Pub was beautifully decorated and had a civlised and relaxing atmosphere despite the fact it was extremely busy. Staff (especially Manager) were welcoming and worked their socks off to ensure all was well. First-Rate meals completed a superb visit.

I visited today with a friend for lunch, we were both amazed by the interior, beautiful! The restaurant was quiet and we had first class service throughout from Susan! We had the special lunch a fantastic deal for £8.50, the biggest ever plate of beautiful barbeque ribs, and then sweet and sour pork, and beef in black bean sauce. Fantastic food!!!!! We will be beack very soon!!!!!!

We recently celebated our Wedding and reception at The Spirit Restuarant and we must say what a fantastic day we all had. The manager Prague took care of everything nothing was too much and the food was absolutely delicious and fabulously presented. We would highly recommend The Spirit for any special occasion well done and thank you Jane & Tony

Just been to Mario's after quite a gap since our last visit. The place is even better than before! They have made improvements upstairs and down and the food is as good as ever. My birthday is coming up soon and I can't think of anywhwere better to spend it. Bring on the karaoke!

We had the Maple Road Dental Practice Christmas party at Sabor Do Brasil. Great night, great food, great service. We were well looked after and every one of the group of 22 had a fantastic night. Thanks to all at Sabor. Hope you have a great Christmas.

We have now visited several times. The food quality, value and service are excellent particularly their specials up to 7pm. Good real ale and wines are also on offer.

Loved it. Turned up on a Friday night at 7.30pm with no booking. Stressed that we would be seated within 30 minutes. About 15 minutes later we were seated. Excellent food, excellent service. Need to work our way through the menu now!

I went for a xmas lunch at home and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the food exceptional but with a price tag of £11.00 for a 3 course meal you cant go wrong!

I would recommend Home to everyone I know, its a gem!!

Great atmosphere, quick service & good value for money!

We wanted to try it out as we'd heard a lot about their pies, so went down at the weekend to check it out. Ended up ordering the fish and chips as I saw someone else order it and it was mammoth. I loved every mouthful and left nothing on the plate; maybe it was the beer batter or the few pints of Dunham I had with it, but good hearty grub and lots of it, totally stuffed, although I still had eyes for the pie the next table.

Top grub & smooth beer, what better a combination?

This bakery and cafe is an absolute gem. I have visited several times over the last couple of months. Good service, delicious buns and awesome won ton noodle soup. An interesting change from your usual high street chain coffee shops. Highly recommended.

Can we say how much everyone enjoyed the afternoon. Couldn't have been any better and Graham and myself will remember it always. Thank you for making it a perfect day! Have a lovely Christmas and see you in the New Year! Best wishes, B & G x

had a long weekend in Chester last week with my wife and teenage son.
Bistro Blu was the last place we expected to eat in but thank god our hotel recommended the place, down on the river behing a nice park, place was packed with both casual diners and Xmas groups.
Walking in we heard laughter and happy diners, and this is something we found lacking during our stay in Chester.
Greeted by a happy smile, taken to our table by the same young man ( Simon ) and offered a drink, or cocktail.
We then looked at the menu, menu no this was a delight to read and more than a menu.
My son started with Rissoto, Wife Prawn cocktail and myself the Squid.
Mains, lost for choice here, Son a Steak of course, My Wife had the French beef cassarol, I had the Pheasant stuffed with wild boar, All were superb, all with fresh selection of veg, service spot on enough without being to pushy
All I can say is these guys who own Bistro Blu should be top of any listing for food in Chester
Thanks and brilliant food

As regular visitors we like to take our friends with us for a superb selection of mixed starters, main courses and sweets on either a Sunday lunch time or Sunday evening. A superb buffet at a very reasonable price - Eat as much as you want of all your favourite and new dishes.
All provided by a super, attentative and polite staff.

Visited Bacchus in Prestbury on Friday evening (09/12/11) and had a fantastic evening. We had 3 courses from the a la carte menu which were freshly cooked and beautifully presented. The food was delicious and it was nice to see the restaurant source their supplies from local producers. The staff made us extremely welcome and were very efficient.

We will certainly return in the new year and would strongly recommend this restaurant to other onion ringers.

Thanks once again, Lesley

Wonderful restaurant, excellent food and helpful service. I'm not much of a curry person but the waiters helped me with my selection with good knowledge. Will return soon.

Not recommended for vegetarians - all food cooked on shared hotplate. Theatrical cooking - entertaining, food tasted - not bad. Bar upstairs - very nice indeed. Staff - helpful and efficient.

went there last night with my husband and daughter, and had a lovely meal. I love tapas and the selection on the menu is second to none, the prices are reasonable and the menu is extensive.The spanish manager and the waiteress were excellent.
there was a lots of kids about, in familly parties which is a great thing for our little ones to open up to new food from a different culture.

Thank you for yesterday we had a lovely meal, wish we could have stayed and had coffee on the settees, thank you once again!

We have eaten at the Choy Hing almost once a month for 20 years, we have always great service, attention and above all, great food. Don't get Sammy or Peter started on their beloved Man Utd though. Can only give 5*****. Try it, say Mikey sent you.

Myself and a party of 5 others had our Christmas meal at Lock 57 last Friday evening - 9th December. The food, service and surroundings were absolutely perfect and it was excellent value - thank you all for making our Christmas meal so special.

It's a place to eat good food, relax, get excellent service, sample some 1st rate wines and meet two of the nicest people you would wish to. Can't praise the place enough.

Had a fantastic meal the other, service was excellent and would say its one of the best around within the area. Good to see eatery places in Alti... Complimentary drinks at the end to top it of. keep it up guys! Mitch

We went to Valencia a few weeks ago and I spent the following weeks dreaming of the crab/avocado salad! Another meal at Valencia again last night with family after telling them how fab the food was and I am happy to say Valencia did not disappoint. The food is fresh and truly delicious. The service is friendly and quick. We dined with my 2yr old son and he was well looked after and much preferred the adults tapas to his chicken nuggets. The family were very impressed by the food and after being told by staff that the coffe was very good they were happy to confirm. The puddings were just as delicious and the fruit accompying it was fresh fresh fresh. I cannot recommend Valencia enough, great food, relaxed atmosphere and reasonable price. Everyone should try this place!

I had started to be regular customer at Namaste Nepal from October of 2011 with a Localty card given by owner.
It was good from it's beginning but it's a best Resturant at West Didsbury for traditional food. The services of waiter and quality of food has been felt better nowadays.
The atmosphere is nice, I like to have tandoori chops at starter and chicken tikka on main course. I always enjoy alot at Namaste Nepal with traditional home made food of Nepal which are delicious.

This indian is the best around Chester 100% service and food,we go there every week and my two girls love going,all the other Indian restaurants need to take a leaf out of there book.thanks to fuz and staff for always making us welcome.

AMAZING...been to the restaurant twice now and had the most amazing food and customer service. I have been to restaurants in America on a par to this one. All the staff were really friendly and hospitable. Would recommend to anyone!

Our second visit tonight, a Birthday meal for my friend, the food was fabulous again, we had to share two desserts because they all looked so good we couldn't decide. Service also excellent , friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Nice to see the restaurant full and busy on a blustery midweek night. Just one comment, could you get some green tea in for us guys?

I took 7 work colleagues here for the xmas meal £17.95 - all had various chooses, it was all nice, lovely food & pub - would recommend

Party of 7 ate here last night. Food was outstanding and the service was over and above lots of restaurants these days. Xmas banquet at £25 is great value, more than enough food and very high quality. Will definately be recommending to friends and eating here again very soon.

took our friends for lunch today(07/12/2011) outstanding food, first class welcome and service, beautiful unspoilt cheshire village, roaring fire, wish this was my local, cannot be better cheers jeff

We had dinner here at weekend and it was amazingly good. The staff were warm and friendly and the food got great reviews; a number of tables by us all said the same thing. Very smart inside too, you can tell the place has recently been refurbished. The pics don't do it justice. Well worth a visit.

We have been twice so far, once in the evening and once for lunch. Great food, great service, great atmosphere and great prices. What else can you ask for. I have now booked La Maison for our office Christmas get together meal and our personal Christmas day lunch.

Went to Dee Thai two weeks ago and having secured a babysitter for this Saturday I am about to make another reservation. Every experience at both ManZen and Dee Thai are outstanding, from food to service - everything! My personal favourite is the jungle curry so I would highly recommend this to all fellow 3 chilli heat-seekers who had handle it!

Visited Coriander last week and was pleasantly surprised by the traditional menu which had dishes I had never seen before and not just the usual British ones we have week in week out.

Opting for a Queen’s Delight Duck and Cowboy’s Style chicken (see what I mean!), I also tried an alternative to the usual Cobra lager called Bengal - very nice.

I think what has compelled me to write this review is because at the end of the meal, I was able to continue drinking without the need to sleep or lie down. This, the owner assured me, was down to the fresh spices, lack of MSG and locally reared meats. He wasn't wrong!

The only pain I had the next day was a hangover, which after a curry has to be a first!

You have to try this if you like real curry and not ones that look like they've been dipped in paint before coming to your table - a new favourite!

I have to say this is one of the best meals I have had for a long time. Love the healthly aspect, not just lots of MSG, oils and fats - just really tasty dishes.
The food is more down the lines of real Indian food - intertesting choices like 'Grandmother's Beef' and 'Fish from the village'.

We had a mixed grill to start, tasty freshly made, and came with lovely homemade dips. For mains we shared a few dishes, the Chicken with Spinach was a highlight, rich in taste, have to mention the Royal King Prawns, 4 huge king prawns, lovely thick coconut milk sauce.

Breads looked and tasty freshly made, and the coriander onion rice was also very good.

The service throughout was friendly but efficent, they recommended the Bengal lager as it is a bit less gassy than some so goes well with a curry - and indeed it did.

The restaurant was modern and had a nice feel. We are looking forward to returning soon!

Went for the most amazing Thai meal on Saturday night with the girls - hidden gem in the heart of Reddish - Phad Thai - set banquet meal £10.00 per person and BYO wine/drinks - wonderful food - definitely worth a visit!

Me and the Mrs have been eating at the Kush for more than 22 years and not once have we had a bad or medioka meal. Always top class food, drink and service and would recomend the Kush to everyone.

We had a meal with colleagues on Friday 2nd and the food and service were terrific. Looking forward to my next visit already :-)

An authentic Italian. Very welcoming, friendly and great service. The best lasagne I've ever had! Highly recommend it! We've been many times and always end up staying late and singing karaoke. Wonderful for parties for young and old alike.

very nice Sunday lunch at The Glasshouse in Sandbach. Roast beef!

had a lovely meal, love the the early bird special offer, great food and atmosphere,and friendly staff, we was not dissapointed, cannot wait for our next visit.

We first went in at the beginning of November and had a great night. The food was unbelievable, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the prices where fair. We then decided to take the folks in for a meal and yet again had a great night. I would recommend the steak as they cook It EXACTLY how you like it which I find is impossible in most resteraunts. The lamb is a healthy portion also :-)

This restaurant is amazing. From outside you would never guess what a lovely place is inside. My friends and myself had a great time and the food was the best I've had in a long time. One of my friends is Muslim and she was so happy that they had Halal meat available for her. Now we have dicovered Mezzaluna we will never go to another Italian Restaurant whilst this is still open. I doubt I could find one that would compare. Thank you to the friendly staff for making us feel so important last night. Emma

Artichoke is such a welcome addition to Chester. Lovely place to while away a few hours, fabulous food, exciting range of drinks and lovely atmosphere. The decor is modern and cool but relaxed. It's so good that when it was too full for us to have a table late on Friday evening we were still pleased, for them, as they deserve their success. Artichoke is ace!

One of the best restaurants I have been to made to feel so welcome and with a friendly staff service good pricing just nice to be the customer that is waited on hand and foot.

Went to Chesters last night had a fabulous meal even though it was really busy food and service was not compromised everything was spot on and the new look is fab not quite finished but its looks amazing especially the bar /conservatory thanks Peppe thats why your still tops after 29 years

We had an evening meal at Zest on Saturday Dec. 3 2011. We have eaten in Indian Restaurants for many years, including many highly rated ones in Manchester and other cities, but this was our first meal in zest. We enjoyed everything about our experience. The food was excellent, the service faultless, the dining room spacious and comfortable, tables have linen cloths and napkins, the menu has something for all tastes, and the value for money is outstanding. We will now be frequent diners.

Fantastic food. The Sunday lunches are amazing. Lovely friendly service from staff too. Definately recommend.

I organized an annual reunion get together for 12 people at the Swan with Two Nicks for 2nd December 2011.
Even though the Christmas Party menu was not due to start until 5th December we were offered it as an alternative to the normal menu should we wish.
We all decided on the Party menu and were all very impressed with the service, quantity and quality of the meals we had, and the most pleasant surroundings. It is great when all the meals come together hot and on heated plates and the vegetables, of which there was an ample supply, came in tureens which were also hot.

Many so called ‘posh’ restaurants could learn a lot from a visit to the Swan and learn to serve quality food and vegetables in sufficient and satisfying quantity at a reasonable price.

Thank you all very much – we will be back!

Every one in Chester has been talking about this Restaurant so i thought i'd go and see for myself what all the talk was about. I must say, it is the best indian restaurant i have been to.

Ten out of ten food and service - not what I expected, would definitely visit again

We have been 3 Fridays running and live just 5 minutes away. Food and value first class - it's the most refined food in the area and the service from a young team is friendly and obliging. Mr Pilling has been on hand and keeps a close and expert eye on things.

Steaks are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a wonderful family meal, our first visit - welcomed warmly by all staff, advised as to best meals, looked after so well! Best of all the food was superb - finest meal we have had in a long time.
Would highly recommend! Thank you (free night cap too!)

Arived at opening time on Saturday Lunchtime.on the way to the Etihad Stadium,so well looked after,very polite welcoming lady,with a manner which suggests she will do well in the industry!
We,my daughter and I, enjoyed the Burgers we chose,the wine,a nice Shiraz,and we beat Newcastle!great day,enjoyed the meal as much as the win!Thankyou Green Room.

Outstanding authentic Thai cooking, in a warm friendly atmosphere, what more could you ask for.
I have tried pretty much every Thai restaurant in the area, and amongst good competition, Maliwan is easily the best!

we go to gallies regularly i cant find any faults great food good prices best staff in wigan well done howard.

Went to Chesters last night WOW food was fab as always but the new look is great cant wait for next visit which is very soon i hope (dave) if not a girlie night coming on 1 wanted to book for N Y E but its fully booked xxx

This small tapas place became my favourite place to go for fresh and tasty food or just for few drinks. Also staff is brilliant always welcoming. Love it!!!!

Took a group of older people there after s short walk. Helpful & friendly staff, gave us a separate room. There was a lovely open fire in main room. Food excellent especially crepes as desert.

Excellent food and service.Great atmosphere and decor

excellent south indian food reminescent of mumbai.lovely atmosphere- simple yet pleasing. personalised service. fried fish- spicy and chicken chukka one of the best.sambar vadai par excellence!

ICONIC .. love this place old charm mixed with chic contemporary

The food and service were outstanding and of high quality. The staff were extremely kind and courteous and very efficient. They are a credit to Antique Inns.

Before leaving I made sure to thank the Chef and his staff for providing us with a most wonderful dining experience. I am of the opinion that service such as this always begins at the top, and of course this must include yourself.

Due to the excellent time we spent at the George and Dragon, we will most certainly recommend it to family and friends and we plan to dine at the Golden Pheasant in Plumley, in the not too distant future. Thank you once again.

good to see the badger back in good hands

Went to Chesters sat night what a wonderful place we have been recommended by a few of our friends who go quite regularly the food is fantastic they are refurbing at the moment and its looks great modern but tasteful. we sat in the bar conservatory before and after the meal for drinks it was perfect its a lovely room Peppe and staff are very professional we have booked again in 2 weeks to take some other friends of our s and what good value I am definitely having Steak Diane its cooked at the table and looks fantastic.

Just had a fantastic meal at Chesters,& the refurb looks so stylish & trendy especially the bar area. I was so impressed with the whole package i`ve booked for next week & for the new year can`t wait.

I have visited L'Endroit several times and it never fails to impress. I visited last week and brought two friends: in fact I had persuaded them to detour from their intended route! Beautifully cooked food, individual tastes catered for and a wine list that stunned my London friend. Highly recommended.

This restaurant has just been re-opened and it is fabulous. I went to the opening night on 13th November 2011 and have been again since then. Both times the food was great, traditional home made Nepalease food with a special blend of spices. I love Indian food but this food from Nepal is something special. The service is good and there is a very relaxed atmosphere. I recommend this restaurant, see you again soon!

great food,well worth going and amazing beers ive never tried.the meat was perfect and the staff great too

The service was fantastic, very friendly atmosphere. The food was delicous and the desert was to die for! Looking forward to going again soon. The Blokes were especially impressed with Peroni on draught.

Meal very good staff excellant only downside the meal was a bit slow in arriving apart from that first class.

We went to The General Elliot for the first time last week and will most definitely be returning. I was spoilt for choice looking at the menu and wasn't disappointed with what I eventually ordered. My husband ordered the mixed grill and said it was the best he has ever had. The service was quick however there weren't many people dining. The only negative is we weren't offered any sauces to go with our main course however we heard other tables being offered when they were served their food.

As always,food fabulous, service fantastic.In my opinion, clearly a cut above the rest!!!
Nicola and Mario, Magnifico!! x

The Spice Lounge is A* food, service and atmosphere. Would def recommend. 100% better than the other restaurants in the area. Modern, classy, spotlessly clean and always have a quality evening.

Myself and my family have been dining at essence for years the food is always 100% as well as the service .I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a great tasting curry and excellent service

Fantastic food, superb, knowledgeable and attentive staff.
No pretentiousness anywhere.

Thanks for a wonderful meal!! Gorgeous interior, great friendly staff and wonderful food. Will definitely come again. Please add decaff coffee to the dessert menu!

Excellent really nice atmosphere food superb hospitality second to none really can recommend it have already booked again very authentic

The food was amazing in fact it was the best curry I have ever had.
The staff was very friendly and polite... It was a perfect night.
I would recommend it to anyone.

Visited Marshall's on numerous occasions over the last few months, never failed to disappoint.
Food always beautiful, well presented, attention to detail, staff are extremely attentive. Owners/Chef able to cater for all dietary requirements easily and even have gluten free bread! It doesnt look much from the outside and atmosphere of place lets it down, ive only every been in when there is one other table occupied. Its a shame, the food really is amazing. More people need to give it the benefit of the doubt and go, they too will be impressed and i am sure hooked!

spent an evening with friends here. the decor and location is outstanding and the food was fabulous. very reasonable for a city centre restaurant. the staff were vert friendly and attentive. all together an extremely pleasant experience. well done xxxx

This lovely welcoming restaurant has become a favourite of ours.The outside is lovely,but step inside,to a warm and friendly welcome,great food,and some great wines.Current owner is so relaxed,we have also found it a welcome change to Hale.

the best food in stockton heath!!!

The thick red curry and skicky rice, is the best curry you will get for miles. followed by a pint in the back side of the mull :-)

We had the most splendid afternoon last week at the Grill. The food was superb, Staff friendly & efficient, atmosphere excellent, the Bar Manager certainly knows his job. Overall an uplifting experience for the whole family. The restaurant is child friendly apart from no changing facilities for babies. The staff responded to my three grandchildren who are between four & one. Will certainly go back again and will recommend it to everyone no matter what age. TRY IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT

Really nice place, staff very pleasant and nothing was too much hassle for them especially on a busy Saturday night.
We were given a table upstairs, and the two chaps looking after us were excellent.I would recommend the scallops of the menu, really tasty.there was 4 of us, plenty of food,a bottle of wine..all under 100 pounds!! very very good value.

Went here a couple of months ago with a friend midweek, the service and food were excellent. As there wasn't many in that night i joked with the waiter that I bet i wouldn't get the same service on a weekend, he assured me I would.
Went again last Saturday with my partner and even though it was busier than midweek the service and food were again excellent, and the staff are so friendly and helpful.
At one stage a group of about 10 lads came in and were seated at the table next to us, it wasn't apparent at first but after a few minutes it was apparent that they had been drinking alot and were starting to get a bit loud. The manager told them (politly of course and not in the same words i've put down here) to shut up and behave and if they didn't want to then to go elsewhere as they were other resturants in the area that would like their custom, as they didn't want their kind of customer, NICE ONE!! 5 mins later after a few more rumbles from them and a couple of more drunks joining them the manager moved them to a table on the far side of the resturant and then they were told to leave after they had finished their starters. The manger then came to us and appologised for their behaviour? We hadn't even complained out it.
Nice to see a resturant putting customers before profit.
Will definitely go again! highly recommened!

The Badger has recently been renovated & they have done a great job & kept many of the original features.The food is excellent, high quality ingredients & all freshly cooked and the service very attentive. There is a warm & welcoming atmosphere - would recommend it.
(They also have accommodation now).

We ate at Pizza Express on Sunday night with our 3 young children. The food was fab and the waiter that served us was lovely. He was very attentive and suggested that we move to a nicer table without us having to ask. He was also great with the kids and made sure they were all happy. Will be visiting again.

Brilliant food and welcoming staff, I can't wait to go back

usually go to Turturici Italian restaurant but it was closed tonight and I discovered this fabulous Italian in Northwich instead. Totally enjoyed it, great food , home made pasta, home made tiramisu was heaven. Reccommend to anyone first class service too

Went down the river earlier today.

The Blue Moon had tables outside by the river – in November!

It was warm enough to sit out and we had lunch. The ‘boss’ had pork casserole and said it was lovely – I went for ‘freshly battered’ Fish n Chips with mushy peas and it was as advertised ‘the best in town’. Not expensive either even with a bottle of wine.

Haven’t been here a while but we’ll be back. Well worth the walk and what a view.

What superb food and value for money. We will absolutely be returning and have also brought the takeaway menu home. Would definitely recommend.

Went yesterday (Sunday) me and the wife had the Sunday special - £8.95 for two courses. Absolutely fantastic - price of drinks great as well - food and service wonderful. Definately go again - bring friends as well.

nice to see the badger firmly back on the map, good beer, only had a bar snack so far but all v.good i will return

great food,great host, very well priced will be visiting again.

paul'n' sue

our first time at pacinos on saturday 19th november 2011,,will certainly go back,,the meal and service were 5 star,,the best italian we have eaten at,,,superb,,,,

Visited last evening with wife and daughter - it is our normal stop when using Manchester Airport. It was our most satisfying visit to date - the food was absolutely divine, the three main dishes each so different but combining perfectly. Would I recommend it? Yes, yes and yes again!

Excellent service, the staff were very friendly. The food was wonderful. We will definately be returning.I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant such as candles, low lighting and good music. My only tiny gripe if I had to name one would be that maybe the music ( although good) was a little on the loud side for a restaurant, but apart from that it was EXCELLENT!

Easy online booking, pleasant, welcoming and friendly staff who gave us a tour of the restaurant, beautiful food which was well presented and flavoured, a stunning enviroment and atmosphere which will cater for all occasions and fully recomended, menu can be viewed on line. Only issue - no pasta but everything else makes up for that.

Best indian ever !!!!! .

My sisters and I visited the Pointing Dog as it was a special family get together and I can honestly say that it was one of the best nights we have all had. The food was impeccable and the service was second to none. If you want fantastic food, great atmosphere and a memorable evening go to the Pointing Dog!! I can't specifically recommend a dish as they were all delicious. A truly wonderful evening!!!

We have been regularly with friends to Bunga Raya - it is a fantastic restaurant - we tend to get the 2 different set menus for 2 for the 4 of us. They are superb - if you like Chinese and Thai try Malasian. It's different but better! The flavours are intense but not overpowering. The last time we went we couldn't finish the food because there was so much and didn't have the puddings. The service is superb and the host is attentive. Last time we had 2 set meals for 2 - a bottle of wine and 4 large beers for £85. We left a £15 tip because we felt this was too cheap! Try the food you' ll love it!

To be recommended , Enjoyed our meal which was well presented and freshly cooked . The pizza dough is made on the premises daily and the vegetables are all freshly prepared - it was so pleasant to not have frozen !! Waiting staff made us very welcome .

This bar/restaurant is welcoming and easily has the best terrace I have tried in Manchester. We chose to eat and drink outside thanks to the heaters which they put on for us and enjoyed the tapas which were delicious and extremely filling.

Great atmosphere, excellent service ...not too over top but attentive. Struggled to find something on menu that I did NOT liike which made it difficult to choose! When the food came you certainly noticed the difference in the quality and chefs abilities. Tasted fantastic. Price was perfect for the quality you get. I save this as my special occasions restaurant and I was reminded why!

Very good food and service. Excellent value, particularly the early menu with which you get two courses for £12.50. The quality of the meat and fish is exceptional and the desserts are wonderful. Highly recommended.

I had the 2 for 1 on Fajitas offer and it was fantastic! and the price was even better!

I've visited 3 times now with the most recent being this week and I would recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly. The staff are very welcoming and attentive; the chef in particular is a delight (he gave a party of 10 women a glass of baileys each as one of us had a birthday, which was a lovely touch) and for the most part the food is very good with very fresh ingredients being used (for example the dips that come with the poppadums are superior to that served in most Indian restaurants I have visited) and very reasonably priced. I don't usually eat lamb or beef at Indian restaurants, as it is often tough but here the meat falls apart at the touch and is delicious. The mild sauces can be a bit too mild for my liking and lack some flavour as a result but all the other sauces I have tried have been very flavoursome and tasty. Only the duck disappointed, on one occasion, as it was rather fatty but duck generally is anyway. Overall I would say this is one of the best Indian Restaurants in Sale and I would strongly recommend it.

Won a meal at the Casa Bella via S&AOM Handbook. Never been before. We arrived at 6.45pm and the first in so all attention was on us. Ibo the chef, Ali the waiter and Maria the waitress were soooooo friendly. We were offered wine while we looked at the extensive menu. It did not disappoint. The food was really good and we will have no hesitation in calling again. Glad we found it!!!

Had a Marvelous time here last Saturday night. Just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff for making my birthday a great event. Food and service was perfect.

First class, thanks Mel @ onionring for the recommend. The food at Pointing Dog is spot on, I thought the menu was inventive without being pretentious and had some classics dishes with a twist as well. They catered for my gluten and dairy intolerances too - fabulous! The service was great, really attentive and genuinely helpful.

been here many times and each time have really enjoyed it am going again tomrow cant wait

went in with my familly for dinner last sunday..
very enjoyable experience, food really nice and tasty, we had the early dinner menu which is a good value for money.
service was excellent, we will come back.

On a busy Sunday afternoon, our party of 19 people, ranging in age from 7 to 86, were really looked after as we celebrated an 80th Birthday. Ann and the staff made it a very special occasion whilst, as ever, the delicious food and drink was a tasty hit with everyone. Everyone knows my fondness for the SWTN, and this happy visit showed why. Thank you!

Fab food, fab service, what more could a table of 25 require.
Thanks everybody, see you soon.
Ann

went with my wife for their lunch buffet, Really excellent quality, well cooked food combined with friendly service. Certain to return.

tom & i had pre wedding meetings in the badger, got married in the church next door, David & his team most helpful with guests staying the night in fab new bedrooms , will always be one of our favourites k

purrrfect, i didn't know what i had been missing , a great night out x

This is by far the best indian restaurant ever. The food is absoloutely divine, definately the best indian around!
The ambience of the restaurant is perfect and very welcoming. The service was impeccable with friendly staff there to satisfy your every need.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.

Our first visit this evening, and it certainly won't be the last! Delicious goats cheese and honey starters, followed by robust and flavourful casseroles - game for me, rabbit for my husband. Extensive wine list covering a full range of prices. Excellent service. What more could you want?

from start to finish it was excellent.the food was so tasty and well cooked. excellent service.great value for money.will definitley be returning.

Had a fantastic meal at Old Hall Sandbach. Good choice of meals. I had best lamb ever & creme brulee was delicious.

nice food, helpful staff, good restaurant. Go in hungry before though! You will see a lot of meat :)

I surprised my boyfriend on his birthday by booking a table here and getting a birthday voucher for a free bottle of wine. The atmosphere was lovely, service was prompt and friendly and the food was amazing! Comes out of the kitchen piping hot though so don't tuck in straight away... We had a really great evening!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. A hidden gem! Highly recommended. Must try the sharing starter. Yum yum.
Will certainly return :)

Sat 12/11/2011 Cant really say how good, we arrived about 11.50 stood at bar. Bar staff said wont be a minute then answered the phone had a conversation then waltzed off to find someone. Had small conversation then came back. We went to a table without a drink then sat waiting for about 10-15 mins. Staff at this place seem about as rare as hens teeth. Eventually got tired of waiting and left.Please forward to Mersey Farm

Visited on Friday evening with friends. We all enjoyed a lovely meal, I would highly recommend the beef bourginon and creme brulee. Very good selection
on the menu and a pleasant atmophere. The service was excellent, just perfect. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and hope to visit again.

The butter chicken was really fit! I would come again and again every night to have the butter chicken

This is the best Indian restaurant in Stockport, bar none. The food is invariably of the best quality, with the mixed kebab and lamb chat puree comprising two of the starter menu highlights. Similarly, the chef's specials are not to be missed, particularly the mincemeat-based murgh massalam. I have sampled this dish in various other Indian restaurants and Harappa's is definitely the best. Aside from the food, the hospitality and service are both peerless and second to none. Regular diners are made a fuss off and made to feel special, thus ensuring both repeat business and that every trip to Harappa is in actual fact an 'event' rather than just a meal out. We go regularly and would encourage others to do likewise.

I had the XXXL Burger and was amazed by the size of the burger to begin! And the flavours were outstanding!! I would definitely recommend Hickory's to anyone!

Great bacon butty with latte and good service.

just love it, great meal early on, then down to a buzzing bar atmosphere

beautifully presented in every way, food, surroundings,service, a really nice pub, ill be going again

Staff very welcoming & friendly. Not sign of flock wallpaper. Popadoms and excellent chutney tray plus drinks brought quickly. The menu has all the usual mixes of curries & a few recommendations & specials. Try Murghi Jaflong, superb,as was all the food. Hot, full of flavour. I love curries & these were up with the best. A top dining experience.

i have been regular since the restaurant opened, and just noticed they have change menu with a twist of turkish dishes.And i find it very exiting and couldn't help my self but tried the new menu.i had a mix grill (kebabs and lamb chops) and wife stayed with iskender, which lovely lamb fillet tenderly sliced and serve with rice and pitta finished with tomato sauce & yogurt.Delicious and lovely menu and suitable for everyone's taste.Cant wait to visit again

My first visit to Verso and I was really impressed. Nice setting, friendly staff and excellent Tapas, the best I've had in a long time. Decent portions and reasonably priced

I love this place..eating in or out.the staff are so kind. When I'm alone getting a takeaway, (as I can't resist the food) they are very welcoming and friendly. It's food to remember..delicious.

I have visited this restaurant a few times recently for lunch with a friend. The atmosphere and friendly welcome - not to mention the good food!! is brilliant. So much so we have booked a table for my birthday on Saturday night.

As part of the walking group which had lunch with you today, may I just send you a brief note of thanks for the lovely food and excellent service we had today.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for lovely lunch.

Great Food, Great Service, Great Staff

went for a meal with 11 members of my family. service was excellent, food even better, and when my 7 year old daughter mentioned to the waiter that her steak was chewy, they were more than ready to replace it. thank you for a wonderful meal. will be back and highly recommend

We first went to Spirit as a couple for the mid week early diner menu which is great value. We haven't stopped going since and have recommended it to friends and family who have been and it has lived up to our promises. Because the food is of a high standard it isn't cheap but I think it is worth saving up for a special treat or go for the early diner offer. It isn't like the usual chain restaurants in Stockton Heath and the staff are relaxed and helpful. Try it!

Excellent venue-never fails to impress. The staff are excellent, very keen to ensure that you enjoy the restaurant and food. Food is varied and first class. I would recommend a visit. If you have not been before you are in for a treat with the fantastic view of the River Dee.

I am Rebecca I am 12 and I love the food at zest, I went to the buffet and kept going up for more! The restaurant is really attractive and modern on the inside and the waiters are really friendly. Anyone who is thinking of eating at zest I highly recommend it, it is my favourite restaurant!

Went with friends (4) Saturday 4/11/11 - Had the early evening menu. Starters duck - main langoustine and pannacotta for sweet. Others in the party had steak and beef bourgignon - could find no fault whatsover and the price was excellent. i would definitely go again - the meal not only tasted good but was very well presented

really impressed! top food, really fresh and tasty. Good service and a nice modern restaurant in a more traditional pub. Give it a try...the mussels were great!

pleasant surroundings, excellent good quality food, good service, excellent value for money once again a very enjoyable experience.

A little gem in the middle of Northwich, if you haven't visited yet you've missed a fabulous meal.The best Italian food this side of Rome. Can recommend the prawns and steaks especially. Friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff.

The Stag's Head is a breath of fresh air in the overcrowded pub dining sector. It actually manages to pull off the rare thing of doing both well! Whether its a pint at the bar or dinner with family and friends this is the place.

We came across this lovely restaurant, We had been past many times before so we thought we would try it out. So glad we did, enjoyed it alot me and my partner were met by the polite waiter called antonio who looked after us all through our stay, food was great realy loved the lasagne and will be defo be calling again. the young lad behind the bar was very polite and help us choose desert and I must say it was the best tiramisu Ive ever had. Thanks for a great night and I will be coming again very soon.

Nicola & Peter Evans

Decided to try the Sunday buffet last week and was very pleased.
Limited food but was excellent and actually more than enough and was excellent for just 7.95 a head!

We visited Spice Lounge on a Thursday and were using a voucher for a 5 course meal bought through Living Social website. Although I've lived in Bramhall for a while I've never visited the Spice Lounge but now I don't think we'll go anywhere else.
The restaurant is well decorated, the staff were excellent and most importantly the food was fantastic. The menu was vast and each course was well presented and tasted great.
I'm very pleased to have finally visited the Spice Lounge and look forward to our next visit.

This is now a Chef and Brewer Inn.
We lunched here on Thursday.
It was very busy as there was a funeral being catered for.
The menu was quite impressive with a special promotion for game which included pheasant ,partridge venison and pidgeon!!
We started with a lovely coarse pate.I had the belly pork which had a super crispy crackling .
Charlie had the pheasant.
We had a well chilled rose wine and a very good cheese board .An excellent lunch which, together with fantastic service( even though they were so busy) made this somewhere we will certainly be returning to in the future.

I went to Bistro Blu with two friends recently for the first time and was delighted with the excellent food, atmosphere and most of all the unobtrusive, pleasant staff. We had an untroubled meal with courteous waiters in attendance but not stopping by the table with constant questions. An altogether highly enjoyable evening.

A lovely ambiance, attentive service and fabulous food have just made for a really pleasant evening. This business fills a gap in the market for quality cuisine at affordable prices. Highly recommended.

We were so lucky to get a table at the Lord Binning tonight. The restaurant was buzzing with atmosphere. We were greeted by a friendly member of the team who showed us to our table which was right next to the log fire, a welcome extra after a pretty horrible journey through wind and rain. There was plenty of choice on the menu to suit all tastes and very reasonably priced. The food was presented to a very high standard and the waitress was very informative about the dishes. The owner even came over to our table to make sure everything was ok, and when talking to him discovered he was a real wine buff, he not only suggested a good wine selection to suit our meal choice, we even got to sample a suggested red after telling him I have never found a red wine I like.
I chose the flat iron steak with pepper corn sauce which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the venison pie followed by the choc brownie, not sure how we managed to eat so much, there was so much food on the plates. The restaurant was getting very busy but the staff obviously trained very well remained consistent. After our meal we went through to the other side of the restaurant to the bar where live music was on offer. Even though the bar is connected to the restaurant the music doesn’t interfere with the ambiance of the restaurant. We certainly will return to the Lord Binning. My only negative was we drove, next time it’s a taxi for us so we can enjoy the great selection of wines on offer.

Had a wonderful time last week. Came in for coffee and had a lovely chat with the manager of canvas Clara. Hearing about all the new plans for this gorgeous little food bar sounded wonderful i am so excited for its future! You must go and try it out to top it ll off not only does it have a heated garden the staff are so welcoming!

Made to feel very welcome by Mark. Excellent service.
Food was top notch quality, super value for money. Will be going back for more!

I visit The Hollow Tree every Friday night for tea with my partner on 1 occasion I ordered gnocchi and the bowl I received it in had 2 chips out of it and 1 crack I reported this and said the bowl needed throwing away we then went again about 3 weeks later and I had spaghetti bolognese and the bowl that I got my meal in was the same 1 from 3 weeks before I once again told the staff it needed throwing away.. All said and done though the food is excellent and the staff are polite and friendly :-)

What a fantastic addition to the up and coming canal quarter in Chester. Fabulous food, drinks and staff. This has got to be my favourite place to eat, drink and relax in Chester! The chef is one talented guy and keeps you coming back for more with the varying menu based on local produce. Front of house is just as complimentary with a range of drinks to suit anyone. A must try is the Cherry beer(lambic) and the Strawberry Timmermans.

First visit here on Tuesday and certainly won't be my last. Not often you see a full restaurant on a Tuesday along with efficient and knowledgeable service (from one waiter!). The four of us had the Meze platter which was amazing and consisted of three courses of dips, kebabs, stews, moosaka and other delicious treats. A hidden gem of a restaurant and am looking forward to returning!

Outstanding is the only word to describe CU. The food, atmosphere & staff make for a really lovely experience. You name it they have it, so pleased the Hillcrest is in good hands once more and has a team that deliver on every level. Cant recommend highly enough.

What a fantastic tasty meal - lots of great food, great value - highly recommended.

Lovely food, staff very friendly, please support this excellent small restaurant

We saw the head chef do a demo at the Cheshire Food Festival and were impressed so we decided to go and try the new restaurant. Glad we did - it was great. The service was quick and knowledgeable, the food was imaginative and would have fitted in any award winning modern British restaurant. Definitely worth a try

Loved everything about The Wizard - great food, great atmosphere and really friendly guys there.
Love it!!!

Visited with my wife for an anniversary meal on a midweek evening and we were absolutely delighted with the whole experience. We were made to feel very welcome from the outset and staff and service generally were excellent. The food, equally, was outstanding and the prices very reasonable for this level of dining. I was particularly impressed with the atmosphere on a midweek evening, with a wide variety of diners enjoying the warm and friendly ambiance. All in all it was an excellent dining experience, matched by a stunning setting.

fantastic food, great atsmosphere and good price!
As a starter we would really recommend the ribs --best ribs we have ever had!
We will definitely visit again soon!
Thanks for a great night!

We tried Abruzzo for the first time, based on recommendations from the Onionring website. We opted for the early meal deal. It still worked out quite expensive for a mid-week meal, after having ordered starters & dessert it cost us £46. Overall the service was good, the restaurant had a nice welcoming feel to it, and the food was very tasty. Would return.

The last time I visited The Smoker was several years ago and wasn't overly impressed. However, we visited on Sunday (just gone) for a quick Sunday Roast and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We dined in the restaurant, rather than the bar area, really comfortable, cosy feel. Couldn't fault anything. Reasonable cost too. Will return.

We held a surprise 70th Birthday party for my Mum at the weekend for 50 people at Farina's and it was excellent. The customer service was superb, hot and cold buffet delicious, everyone had a great time and my Mum had a Birthday she'll never forget - thanks Farina's!

Just a short note to say thank very much for an excellent meal that we had at your pub on Sunday 23rd October, and for being so accommodating and helpful. Especially allowing us to bring along our birthday cake, due to me not being totally organised, and for supplying the candles for the cake, which I forgot to bring on the day.

The carvery was excellent. Very tasty meat. Also very well kept and superb tasting beer. All the party enjoyed themselves, and had a good day thanks to you and your staff.

I would not hesitate in recommending the Golden Pheasant to any one, especially if they want good food, good beer and a lovely warm welcome and a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Once again a very big thank you to you all at The Golden Pheasant. (even if it has taken me over a week to send the email!)

Until Friday evening, I hadn't had a decent Chinese since my first back in the early ninties, and having visited the Choy Hing I felt compelled to let them know. Honestly, was very good indeed and throughoutly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, service and price. Will definitely attend again! Thank you!

We have tried many Indian Restaurants over the years and Amans tops the lot. Excellent service, Excellent Menu and most important Excellent Food.

Thanks Sam

good take away - slightly more expensive than usual - but worth while

Just had to write this review after the superb experience me and my friends had at this exceptional restaurant. We had read an article about the restaurant in local newspaper singing its praises so we decided on last minute to check it out and turned up last night. Saturday 29th October. There were no tables to be had as they were full and reccommended we booked next time. They said they would have a table in 20 minutes so we had a drink and were squeezed in. We were so glad they did as we had a very good meal and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and great service. We will definitely book next time and highly reccommend this place .

I visited on Friday 28th October. Great food, great atmosphere, the food was delicious and the staff friendly and welcoming, if you like good quality food then this is the place for you, I will definitely visiting again. I have recommended to all my family and friends. Can't wait to eat there again

We went to the Royal Oak on Thursday and found the atmosphere great and the service excellent,however, the food was not value for money. We had both ordered the goats cheese tart with asparagus and salad, however, when it arrived it was more appropriate for a starter than a main course.

Having been going since it opened, I have never been let down yet, whether at lunch time or evening time.

We went here for both my 30th birthday and my Mum's 60th and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. They even put out balloons on the table and didn't complain when we wanted to bring our own cake (resulting in us not ordering dessert). Great food, all cooked to order, fantastic steak! Half price pizza & pasta on a Monday is a great bargain also!

Best Indian in cheshire by far. The food was excellent as well as the service. Very professional service.

We have been going to here regularly since it opened and have never had a bad meal, the food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Well recommended.

We haven't eaten out for a while as Charlie has been ill but is now back in the fray!
Went here for lunch on Friday and were delighted with the new menu.
Delicious starters of black pudding with scallops and Thai prawns with chilli sauce .Then on to mains of venison and a lovely trio of three different types of fish.Lightly battered and served with chips and tartare sauce.Good wine list too! And gorgeous desserts yum.
It was pretty busy and unfortunately there were only two people serving so it took a while to get our food.But it was so nice to be doing our favourite thing of eating out agin that we didn't mind !

we booked a table of four for a birthday celebration. Staff were very friendly, food was fabulous. We had a very enjoyable afternoon. We will definately return.

By far the best Thai restaurant that Manchester and Cheshire has to offer. The manager is so nice , the staff can't do enough for you , the chefs well they're just the best . I've never had a bad time in there and I've been going for years . Thanks Darren .

A first class meal at very reasonable cost. The finest ingredients cooked and presented to perfection. The scallops were superb and the lamb was one of the tenderest pieces of meat I've ever eaten. We'll certainly be back.

Went to The Stag for my mums 'special' birthday, 7 of us. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel at home,lovely ambience and roaring fires all set the mood. All the staff are fantastic and the food was great. Really a lovely experience.I will definately be recommending 'The stag' to friends.You must go!

Exceptionally good restaurant, veryfriendly staff and helpful. Food is fantastic and more new dishes have been added recently, i always go OTT and stuff myself when i am there, there is so much to choose from. Itsalso near all the local pubs and as busand taxi service outside, 2mins from train station. well recommended. just off there now ;-)

I have just been to The Lord Clyde for lunch. The menu is very extensive and specialised for what some might think a local pub.......but let me tell you this is not just a local country pub. The food tasted as magnificent as it read from the menu. And being a connoisseur on big fat juicy chips I was not disappointed! The chips in beef dripping are amazing, This is definitely as described on it's web site.....'a hidden gem!'

This is a fantastic restaurant that deserves more business. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food is excllent and v. healthy. Great for Xmas parties!!

My family goes to the Bunga Raya regularly for special occasions. The food is always exceptional and reasonably priced! Peter and his wife are always warm, welcoming and excellent hosts. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the Bunga Raya to anyone and look forward to my next visit.

A huge improvement since the new owners took over last year.
The food is now as good if not better that any in the area.

This evening we had an enjoyable meal with excellent service in a relaxed, clean and extremely comfortable atmosphere. The service was first class without being too formal.

Highly recommended.

just pure quality the best indain resturant in this area well done to all at the spice and grill your hard work shows 100% WELLDONE

I have had take aways and eaten in the restaurant and have always had a plesent and enjoyable meal the staff are second to non and it has a welcoming ambeance. I would recommend the shillong to anyone that enjoys indian cuisine.

Just got back from a fantastic birthday meal at the Kantipur restaurant and can happily say I've nothing but high praise. From the atmosphere, to the staff, to the food (ESPECIALLY the food) every detail screamed perfection. I'm not going to let another birthday pass before I go here again. Well done, Kantipur, you've won yourself a repeat customer!

Four of us dined at La Popote for my birthday celebration yesterday evening. We had a simply delightful time with excellent food and service, and would highly recommend this restaurant. My scallop starter was totally delicious, and the halibut which followed was perfect too. My daughter's steak couldn't be faulted, and everything else was thoroughly enjoyable.

Had an excellent evening meal taking advantage of the early 2/3 course menu. Staff and proprietor very friendly and helpful. Service good, this is going on my list of places to visit again.

Excellent welcoming service! We went mid-week around 8pm and there was a good amount of guests in for this time.

Food was lovely, the menu was varied and tasty...it is Italian so yes it is pasta, pizza and alike.

Our waitress was freindly and attentive. As soon as wel walked in we felt at ease being there and she greeted us in a very good manner.

The atmosphere is very relaxed and cosy - and great place for lovely food and relaxation.

Excellent quality for an all you can eat place.
It is amazing and i would highly recommend it.

First visit last Friday - excellent bream and salad, will certainly go again and they are open on Mondays and at lunchtime - many aren't. Rather noisy that my deaf aids didn't like - will try for a quieter time.

First class service, meal absolutely brilliant. 'Sue' a lovely helpfull young lady. We will certainly eat there again.

Enjoyed a client meeting whilst sampling their lunchtime fayre. The choice and quality of food was very good with specials and a la carte discounts available to suit all wallets. Service was attentive; whilst remaining discrete as and when required. Drinks and food came to £23. Highly recommended.

Excellent food, friendly service, nicely decorated with lots of space for those with pushchairs.

One of the nicest pub meals iv ever had. Very nice pub to eat in. the food and the presentation was top class. i can't wait 2 go again. very highly recommended.

havent been for ages but spotted the new photos on Onionring and the place looks great after a refurb, dined off the midweek menu which was very good value. The food was top class - both the midweek and main menu had lots of interesting options. Service was good throughout...overall - really impressed

went to kantipur in stockport on sunday 23rd october 2011 and what a great hidden gem along the a6 this place is. Sue and the staff are fantastic and the food is the best we have had. please call in and try this little friendly gem of a place

Have had a meal and a takeaway from here and both my husband and I both agreed that this was the best Chinese we have had in a very long time. I would highly recommend this. The staff are really nice and the food amazing.

Enjoy this Italian for it's good food & service, recommend their daily set menu - good value!
Nice atmosphere & we like the Italian owner.

cannot fault the spice lounge in anyway the service the food the atmosphere all excellent, ive been many times and have been more than satisfied everytime.

Often tend to make mistakes finding a decent restaurant. Glad to report that on this occasion i came up trumps. Was tasked with the job of finding a suitable place for me and my fellow teacher colleagues to dine for some r and r with good food and equally equittable ambiance. Well Marco Marco certainly didnt disapoint me in the slightest. Full marks on everything. We had a jolly good night all told and my friends unusually complimented me on my choice of venue. Food was exquisite, service was first class, product quality and overall experience was delightful. They may even let me chose again in future after this performance.

A lovely place. The dinner was excellent, just as the service. Waiters are friendly with just the right level of attention.interesting and tasty meals at reasonable prices.
just make sure you leave some room for dessert,home made baklava
I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone

Great food great bar great people a must when in town

We visited sahara today, it was absolutely fantastic! great service very friendly, gorgeous food! Cant wait to go back! thankyou for the wonderful experience!

We were just passing through Knutsford today and decided to have a look round. What a beautiful place. We decided to stop for lunch at The Angel Inn for the 2-4pm 2 main courses for £9.50. Food was great and lots of it. The newly decorated interior was very impressive too. We would thoroughly recommend it.

This was our first visit to this restaurant,excellent food, service and lovely warm welcoming, definitely will be returning.

Third visit to this restaurant 'fantastic' probably the best Italian food we have eaten and very reasonable priced

Absolutely the best indian food in town - brilliant in every aspect. I have a takeaway from most weeks and would not contemplate going to another indian in chester. Staff are fantastic and customer excellent.

Fantastic meal, sharing plate was really tasty. Great atmosphere, good service - really impressed

As good as any in the area, really tasty meal. Good service, really enjoyed it.

we held our daughters wedding reception here with 125 guest attending,sit down meal for 75 followed by 50 extra friends in evening for finger buffet ,we were promised 100%
from cosamo yet recieved 150%, nothing was too much trouble for the night,staff were helpful and couldnt do enought for us,the food well that was fantastic with our guests enjoying every mouthful.
thanks you guys at tarantella you really made our day special..

Lovely experience. Real open fires lovely and warm to keep winter chill out. Very friendly real italian staff. Great food and wine , what else do we need to say we have already booked for next week.

If it's a fun, yet relaxed experience your looking for then Mario Gianni's is the place to go. We have been regulars for over 10 years and during that time we have frequented this establishment for several different occassions. We initially discovered Mario and Gianni's as a single couple and enjoyed many a late night of excellent food coupled with an exciting atmosphere. We held both of our childrens' christening parties here too, and wow, what a welcoming family atmosphere we were able to share with our friends. Food is exemplory, not restricted to pizza and pasta. We have worked our way through the 'Specials board' and never tire of the choices available. All in all, a great experience and we shall continue to visit either for a late evening meal for two, coupled with Kareoke or as a family of 4 earlier on..... both a pleasurable time had!

We had our wedding reception there ,the service and food was excellent. Peter the manager and his staff were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble.All our guests had a great time .I would recommend the ring o bells to anyone .Peter can you thank all your staff and the ones we did not see in the kitchen for a lovely meal and great service.

I visited the Hale grill for the first time last week, we went as a large group from work with some clients. We were very impressed with the quality of the service. Some times when you are part of a large party the service can be quite slow and you can end up waiting a long time for your food, however we were very well looked after. The food was of a very high standard and the service was very prompt and attentive. Our glasses were never empty. A very enjoyable evening. We have already booked in again for our Christmas party, loooking forward to returning already.

Yet again another great meal at The Saffron Room. Always very busy and our whole family love the delicious dishes available here. I always like to try something new off the menu every time we visit.

Well done guys... Keep up the great work.

After a few visits, this is now my favourite Restaurant! The atmoshere, food & service are excellent. I never have any complaints. Myself and my boyfriend will be visiting again this weekend!

Great pub with lovely interior. Very friendly staff and good food, especially the salad selection. Apart from carvery the menu is a bit limited though.

My partner and I have dined her on 5 occasions since moving to the village in May. The staff are wonderful and the food better. The curry is superb, the starters and sweets apetising and delicious. The mains plentiful and beautifully presented. The premises are well maintained

What a refreshing change to go to a pub with some character and a great atmosphere! Friendly staff and amazing, locally caught/grown food at sensible prices! Highly recommended, one not to be missed, best pub in Cheshire!

I was dissapointed to hear of unfavourable reviews re; The Bricklayers Arms in Altrincham.
We have some very happy memories of the management and staff and of the excellent meals we ate there during our 2009 vacation.
Good luck to all the 'Brickies'

The restaurant was lovely, the staff were friendly & the food was divine!! I would highly recommend the whole experience at Sabor Do Brasil. It definitely beats similar restaurants that we had been to in the past & surpassed our expectations by far.

Surprise Birthday meal with partner. Staff here made me feel like a princess. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was great and quite busy too but didnt detract from service we received. Dont usually write reviews but thought they deserved it. Will definitely be back

Booked Peruga for our 10th anniversary. Took over the whole restaurant. Karl and the team were fabulous from designing the menu to arranging a singer and DJ for the night.

They even booked some of the guests into local B&B's.

The food was excellent and I must say the service was seamless with each of the tables served quickly, efficiently and with a smile.

The atmosphere,surroundings and ambiance of Peruga was brilliant. We danced the night away till late on with no complaints from the staff even though a few of us stragglers were milling around the bar right to the death.

A wonderful, memorable night for all. I'd recommend it without hesitation and I know that some of the guests have already been back!!

We went to the buffet on a Sunday and had a really nice meal lovely interior the only downside that we could think off compared to other buffets we have been was there was no naan bread on the buffet this was charged extra and the dessert choice was limited and not chilled apart from this we would visit again and value for money was average

Excellent! Lovely decor, lovely staff and most importantlay lovely food! Amazing naan bread. About time we had a decent restaurant in Cheadle.

What started as a hack round on the horses and a quick drink at the stag as we've done before turned into lunch sat outside with the horses and the dogs. Water provided (and apples for the horses) we were made to feel extremely welcome and it made our hack out into a fabulous lunch trip out. Thanks very very much

This is a great tapas restaurant with innovative dishes, wonderful ambience, and warm and friendly staff. The Mexican salad rocked and the cod was to die for. We had at least 8 dishes and one was better than the next -- at a really reasonable price! The wine selection was also good. Small and intimate but not noisy. I loved it.

This afternoon I visited The Swan with Two Nicks with my wife. We couldnt believe how busy it was for a late afternoon in October. After a short wait at the bar we were shown to a lovely cosy table for two. This place really is something special with the welcoming open fire and lovely candle lit tables. The menu is extensive and I chosepuke famous steak and ale pie. We waited slightly longer than we hoped, but the place was so busy in the bar and restaurant, you couldn't complain. The food was delicious, well worth the wait and the waitress was polite and friendly. The only down side to our meal was a large party of 15 or more adults and unruly children on a table near us, who seemed to think it was ok to throw food on the floor and made a real mess. Other than that a lovely meal in a lovely pub.

15/10/2011
We were a party of four for lunch, food was very nice, staff were attentive and helpful.Near Dunham Massey National Trust so able to walk some of the lunch off! We all said we would come back, thank you.

What a find, re routed from a diversion in the week through a quaint little village called Acton bridge and discovered this amazing restaurant. The food was devine, very busy for mid week night too which shows it must be good. We got talking to another table who said they come here nearly every week so again must be good if people come back weekly!. The little jolly Italian manager was charming and the staff very attentive! Only criticism if any was the lasagne was so hot i had to wait 10 mnutes for it to cool down but was well worth the wait. Definitely make a special trip to come here again .

Excellent food - the oxtail soup was to die for!! Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Visited on the first Wednesday after opening so it was quite quiet but with food of the standard it won't stay that way for long.

The pub has been recently refurbished and now has a fantastic carvery and full a la carte menu. Great food and service aswell as a lovely bar.

Took the family for Sunday lunch and wow, fantastic food, ribeye beef was amazing and the pistachio cake desert was a whole new experience. Aiden was in the kitchen and so accommodating that the whole meal was excellent. We will be going back very soon. Top marks and great value for money. Well done to the whole team.

Best local chinese in the world. The food is consistently yummy and the staff are just brillant.

Our favourite restaurant! Mario, Gianni and all their staff work tirelessly to ensure every guest has the best experience Make you feel like a member of the family! The Spare Ribs are the best i've ever tasted- don't miss them! The offers and specials are great too and make it a really affordable without compromising on fantastic home cooking. Real authentic food and hospitality. Whenever we have a party, we have it at the restaurant as we know we'll have a fantastic night. You must experience it to believe it!! We are booked in for next month for another fantastic night!

Had a fantastic evening at Peruga on Saturday. With stunning views, impeccable service and the food was beautifully cooked and great value for money. Highly recommended!

Visited 8/10/11. On a very wet Saturday night, we had the pleasure of finding this restaurant.
Very pleasant staff. Food, looked and tasted wonderful. Would certainly go back, when ever in the area again.

Faye and I had a great time at Marmaris.The food at this family run business is excellent and everything is freshly made in their kitchen.It's not often we get to ditch the kids and go out for the night. We made a great choice choosing Marmaris. We had a Falafel starter which was 10/10 and then the mixed meat platter ( lux izgara ) which was fantastic and and massive! washed down with a bottle of house dry white but it was the quality of the little things like the rice and the dips that made us realize that as far as Turkish cuisine goes Marmaris is the real deal! for £50 including our taxi home and a doggy bag big enough for a Turkish breakfast, we will definitley be back.

Only discovered this last week although we've been past many times and 'peered in'. On Friday we went in and we're so glad we did. The service was so friendly and the food was exceptional. I'm almost hesitant to recommend Bunga Raya too highly in case I can't get a table next time.

This is our all time favourite restaurant - not because it is classy but because Mario and Gianni are superb host and chef respectively. In addition to the always splendid and authentic Italian cuisine the friendliness makes you feel relaxed and appreciated. We hold many family parties and always take our visitors...any they never fail to enjoy the experience.

ate at eden few weeks ago with my partner and children absolutley fantastic, i asked if the chef could add chicken to a mushroom bruschetta starter which was not a problem. i'd recommend to anybody eden as it is by far the best Italian in Warrington. thank you very much eden staff x

After only discovering The Stag thus summer after living in the area for a number of years I am very impressed with this place. Good food, drink, service and atmosphere there seems to be nothing lacking with its child and pet friendly policy it has become our number one choice for food and drink. The whole of my family enjoy this friendly, relaxed and professional establishment - I will certainly be returning!

Went to Vatika with 4 friends last week and despite not booking, they found room for us. Service was very good, although a little slow towards the end of the evening, but not too bothered as was enjoying finishing my drink! Food was beautiful and excellent value - enjoyed it that much, I'm arranging for my work's Christmas party there

what an excellent meal !!! Complements to the chef!

First class from start to finish. Excellent food & drinks, and perhaps most importantly, excellent vfm. Will return again soon.

Best juices ever, really fresh and exciting, best cafe in Alty, love it!

We visited Romulus on a cold, rainy monday night and from the outside the restaurant looked cosy and inviting. We were not disappointed as we entered the restaurant, we were welcomed with a friendly waiter and a lovely open fire in a beautiful, traditional setting. The service and food were both outstanding and the salmon and crayfish pasta was truly divine. Just before we left the Chef and owner introduced himself to us, of who we found as great as the whole evening.

This is the best Indian/asian foood I have ever eaten, we were recomended to go there on our visit to Sale for a rugby match and wow..........all fresh and delicious, also cost was very reasonable too. I am from Oxfordshire, If I was nearer I would go every week.!

Booked the Bayleaf for 21 people for my husbands 40th birthday,The food was lovely and the staff was so super,nothing was to much trouble and will be going there again very soon and will recommend to friends for sure

Having walked past so many times my wife and I decided to give it a go!! Wish we had tried it much sooner. The food was delicious the service was great. Will definitely go back.

Just had a take away and it was the nicest indian I've had. Highy recomended.

We have dined here several times and found the staff attentive and friendly. Food has always been lovely. I would strongly recommend a visit.

Asion Fusion is the best curry house around and i have eaten in many, the food is always fantastic, the service is great and the staff are very friendly, we have not been to another indian restaurant since we found this one over 2 years ago.

Excellent food from the pappadums you start with right through to you finish, not to mention the superb nan breads they make to help soak up the flavour of your main dish. Essence is a taste sensation. It's a small restaurant with a friendly and intimate atmosphere. Could use slight modernisation in areas but this should by no means deter you from enjoying your dining experience at Essence. The food is always consistent and second to none. I recommend the mixed grill so you can taste the power of the chefs marinating and cooking techniques. Sunday’s are a popular time to try Essence out as it has a very reasonably priced ’7 Coursed Set Menu.’

Never got to eat there! booked table 9pm, told 15 minute wait after 40 we enquired again and was offered free starters in the bar area, as there was still no table available. We declined this as the bar area is not very nice, and we ended up at an Indian around the corner.

Went here last night for the first time in ages and loved how things have changed, very nice surroundings and loved the new landlady, very friendly and helpful, great food and good service despite it being very busy we still felt as if our every need was important to the staff. Can't wait to go back when all the real fires are burning, looks so cosy.

Very relaxing. Superb food and welcoming staff. Cant ask for more than that....will deffo return!

Just moved to area, and enjoyed this thoroughly. Early bird tremendous value and quality. Terrific atmosphere, great waiters and excellent food. Nail sticking out of chair couldn't spoil the evening, as staff were so friendly. Will certainly be returning!!

My boyfriend and I had our third visit to Cocos last night (Friday 7th Oct). Coco’s staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, the level of service is top notch even on a busy Friday night they take time to make you feel special. The level of service is only match by the superb homemade cuisine they offer. This will now become our regular eatery as we work our way around the menu!!

Friends keep telling me to go,so as a family we did,what have we been missing.Lovely venue and atmosphere.Food very good and staff attentive will be retunring.

Meal for two - Main course Chicken Korma, main course chicken tikka masala, 2 poppadoms with sides, 1 kemba naan and special pilau rice with 2 large coke's = £21. Bargain, couldnt eat all of it portions were so big had to take food home in container. Friendly, cheap and quality food. VERY GOOD.

We took our family for a meal at Butterfly tonight as a treat and what a friendly welcome. The food was delicious - our daughters enjoyed it - and the service was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is lovely - there are butterfly shaped mirrors and little butterflies on the tealights on the table. It seems to be a place where people of all ages are very welcome.

Went to this pub with my kids. It is a great location, and outside felt like we were on holiday. Food went down well with all of us too. Recommend a visit to all, as there is something for everyone! Keep up the good work!

this place is fab!! cheap and delicious, great steamed dim sum starters, if you go for the bento box meal you get loads extra, soup, salad, fruit. really good value.

Visited here October 2011 From the moment we entered we felt very welcomed and genuinely important to the vibrant Italian staff there. We were seated and had drinks on our table within 5 minutes not left languishing like other experiences we have had in other places. We are regular restaurant diners and have experienced the good the bad and the ugly but Marco Marco was not only pretty but had a fantastic ambience complimented by very good attentive knowledgeable friendly service and the food was extremely good too. We had a wonderful home made pasta dish and a steak Rossini cooked perfectly. We also had some perfectly thin garlic bread that was to die for as was the home made Tiramisu that we finished off with. Wanted to find a fault so we could give good critical advice but Marco Marco in our opinion was wonderful and we will certainly become regulars

one of the best indian restaurants you will find, excellent food and friendly staff , a great atmosphere , great with my messy kids too ! i travel far and wide for indian food , i'm lucky enough to have this one on my doorstep and they never let me down.

What a fantastic pub/restaurant this is. We have been going for many years and never had a bad experience. Food is great atmosphere fantastic and the staff very friendly and welcoming.We went on Saturday night and it's been refurbished with new slate tiled floor and full height windows giving a fantastic view of the waterway,the green fields beyond and the Manchester skyline in the distance.The entertainment's always good on the last saturday of each month. I cannot recommend it highly enough.Brilliant and thanks especially to Nicky and Judith for their friendly service.

what a really super place to eat, we booked a table 5 bubbly girls and could not fault the service and food all to the high standard , made to feel welcome and would recommend this restaurant 10/10

My huband & I took our 3 year old son and 2 Yorshire Terriers to The Stag for dinner last Tuesday; which happened to be Champagne night!! We are so impressed with our experience. It was so child friendly with a grassy area, swings & £5 kids meals. We sat outside on the large patio where my husband enjoyed his Hedgehopper & I participated in the Champagne special. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming & accomodating. The food was superb with local produce. We highly recommend The Stag & will be returning shortly!!

We visited Butterfly for an impromptu Monday lunch treat and what a delightful meal we had.

The restaurant was quiet (as expected for a Monday afternoon) but the welcome and service we received was wonderful.

We chose the lunch time special menu and the owner Sui happily accommodated changes from a demanding pair of diners.

The food was delicious, we were extremely well looked after and were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble.

We will certainly be returning with the children in tow next time. Sui spoke with us about how she wants to create a welcome family atmosphere to the restaurant.

Our 3 kids are already looking forward to our next Sunday trip!

Well what has happened to The Bells of Peover! We went last night to be told that the menu had changed as the old chef had left and that the new menu was in place. One small page of very few choices meant that we sat down for about 3 minutes decided that there was nothing that any of us fancied and so we left to spend £180 at The Golden Pheasant. Let's hope this is just a blip with a new chef finding his/her feet but the place was very quiet - bring back the platters!

We went here for the first time last night (after reading the other reviews here) and it was one of the best Indian meals either of us has ever had. Everything from poppadoms onwards were delicious, and the amount of meat we had in the starters and main courses was incredible. Even the house wine was superb, and not expensive. I was expecting a much bigger bill than we got - it's certainly in line with any other indian restaurant.
Decor is very elegant and location (just next to Harkers) is superb. Service was also extremely prompt - staffing is very generous.
After only one visit, already one of my favourite restaurants.

It was amazing, greatest experience of my life. I look like a beast and I sure ate like a beast, yum. The food was delicious, I wanted more and more I still had room to fit in. LOL you know what I mean

Still the best Chinese restaurant in Chester (and probably the best I've been to anywhere). Always good service and excellent good. Book in advance though.

An amazing experience! The food was fantastic, such a welcoming atmosphere and the staff were very friendly - especially Maira and Carlos who were excellent and made our night. We will definately be going back again - it's fantastic!

Went here Saturday night and was very impressed. The effort they make and the welcome is very good. They were very very busy but we still never waited for starters mains and drinks. It was someones birthday on the next table and all the chefs came out singing happy birthday with the waiting staff and gave the person a cake and personalised birthday card! cant fault this place!

We first ate here many years ago and today went for a family meal to celebrate Mums 80th birthday. The standard of food,service and presentation has never wavered: it is superb. For some of the party it was their first but not their last visit even though they live on the WIrral. The food was so good the table fell quiet whilst they ate which is certainly a first!!!!!

This is a splendid and welcome addition to the town centre of Stockport and something that has been needed for a long time. There are many coffee houses on the High Street but this offers the addition of quality food - Italian in style - prepared by a talented chef. The owners are charming and attentive to their customers and have established a much needed eatery with some sophistication in a town more noted for its fine beer. The music, played by a talented guitarist/vocalist was superb. Well worth a visit.

We lived in Chorlton for over 15 years and have had many great meals at Azad's. We moved out of the area (the edge of the Peak District) more than five years ago but still visit Azad's regularly... because we love it! The curries are always first class and the friendliness of everyone at the restaurant makes Azad's special. Service is prompt but you never feel rushed. Others have mentioned how well they cater for groups and parties but we particularly like the cosy booths. All in all, we wouldn't choose anywhere else for a curry in Manchester!

I have spent many happy evenings in The Poachers over the years and can't understand why there are not more recommedations for the pub. Landlords Rob and Helen are fantastic ambassadors for the pub trade, their staff are knowledgable and very friendly and even the locals add to the whole experience. you can go in and feel comfortable on your own or with pals. The range of drinks are fab - Rob's real ales are always excellently kept and the range is mindblowing - the new beer from the local brewery Happy Valley is mouthwatering - its a 'Sworn secret'!!! make an effort and book for pie night on Wednesday eve - you'll be lucky to get a piece of stunning pie unless you book - Ive made that mistake before - pork, blackpudding and cranberry is the one for me.
All in all the package from the Poachers is the best Ive come across and believe me Ive studied many establishments but I think Ive found the best....try it

we had a lovely meal and although busy the service was very good and didnt have to wait long the staff were really pleasant and nothing was too much trouble for them my husband can always find something to complain about but on this occassion he couldnt

This is the absolute best Thai restaurant I have ever been to. The people are just lovely and can't do enough and if you've got kids or grandchildren they are so helpful. Food is stunning, flavours dange in your mouth, service great, and prices are very reasonable.

We visited on 29/09/11 for an evening meal for 2. We got to the restaurant a little early for our table so were invited to have a drink at the bar, the bartender was friendly and welcoming and they had good music playing so it was not a problem. Our table became available and although there was a bit of a wait for the food, the waitress made us aware and kept us topped up with bread & olives. The food when it came was fantastic, clearly all freshly made, and really tasty. The menu has classics that you would expect to see, like calamari & patatas bravas, as well as dishes with a more modern edgesuch as the pan seared cod & also the goat cheese and beetroot salad. We ordered 3 tapas each which in hindsight was a little greedy, it would have easily fed 3. We finished with a cocktail each, and a couple of shots on the house due to the wait for the food. More than happy, would definitely recommend it and will be visiting again!

Great venue. Friendly staff. Tasty food every time. Not flashy but all the better for it. Make sure you book!

Excellent service, location and food. What more can you ask for? My favourite restaurant!!

This is a fantastic venue. Very friendly staff, fabulous food , cracking range of beers and wines and excellent coffee. They make you feel very welcome and they accommodate children and babies which gives good competition to Harkers.
So pleased Artichoke has opened in such a great location, we visit it a couple of times a week and it has quickly become our favourite cafe/restaurant. Keep up the good work

Went to the restaurant on Saturday, the food was absolutely spot on. The restaurant was busy however the staff just couldn't do enough for us specially mr khan. I would say the the blue Nile is one step of the others in stockport

5 star food @ the hale kitchen
