BROWNS MANCHESTER REVIEWS

The place was classy and spacious Food was fantastic: the Chicken Schnitzel tasted way better then the Austrian version Lots of vegan options available. We had the Asparagus & Butternut Curry which was great and not too spicy Staff are all friendly Totally worth going at least once I’ll surely go again in my next Manchester trip.

Incredible service from Marco from the start, dealt with allergy and food change requests perfectly, and the attention to detail was incredible On to the food! All the food was incredible, flavours go so well together we couldn't fault anything Thank you for making it special when you realised it was our anniversary.

Absolutely stunning experience! Our waiter Liam was a sweetheart, the dishes arrived timely and were excellently prepared, we loved learning about the building's history as an old bank, the decor was simply amazing and the food quality exceeded all of our expectations!

ALBERT’S DIDSBURY RESTAURANT & BAR REVIEWS

From start to finish simply brilliant, a perfect way to spend Sunday lunch. From the warm welcome from the host on the desk to everyone who served us at the table, all an asset to your business. All of us enjoyed the food, the roasts were excellent as were the starters, I’d recommend the sharing roast! The ambience perfect with the live vocalist. We will be back.

A lovely lovely restaurant! Loved the cocktails, service from Zak was fab. We saw the table beside us making their own kids pizza which i thought was a great idea. Can't wait to return. We didn't take too many photos of inside as people were eating so didnt want to be rude but it was so lovely inside.

We had a large family get together last Saturday here. It was our first time and we loved it. The restaurant is large and airy and has a really nice atmosphere is spacious and light. The food was lovely. The staff are amazing. We would definitely go back in a heartbeat.

THE IVY SPINNINGFIELDS MANCHESTER REVIEWS

The Ivy is a really nice brasserie with an amazing interior. The flower arrangements and designs create a cool and stylish atmosphere, even in the restrooms, which are highly designed! The food was great too. Our group of five enjoyed an afternoon tea, and the variety of both classic and unique sweets and savories was spot on. The tea itself was also excellent, adding to the overall experience. The service was outstanding, with our server—whose name might have been Ronny or Rudy—being friendly and quick with a joke. All in all, it was a delightful experience that I’d highly recommend.

We had a fantastic lunch at The Ivy in Manchester on the 10th of August. A special thanks to our waitress, Michaela, who made us feel welcome and was very helpful with food and drink suggestions. Her service was excellent. The food was delicious, with plenty of tasty options to choose from. We’ll definitely be back! The espresso martini is a must have here !! Helena & Mike.

Really really enjoyed all of it. A very cool looking place, great music and atmosphere. Make sure you choose the Geisha room if you're booking, it's a lot quieter than the main room and felt like private dining. Food well priced and extremely tasty! Fast service !
