  “This has been one of the best Greek restaurants I have been too. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The service was a nicely timed. We weren't rushed and it didn't feel like we sat there forever waiting. The food was amazing, the chicken melted in your mouth. The houmous was quite literally the best houmous I have ever tasted. The desert was my favourite part. I had the Athena cocktail and I have never been so in love with a drink before. My partner got the wine, and when he need another drink the waiter was able to tell what wine he was drinking by the colour of it. It was a 10/10 experience.”

  “We had an amazing experience at Fenix for our first wedding anniversary! It was our first time visiting, and Owen made it even more memorable. As we only eat halal and don’t drink, he took the time to explain everything on the menu and made us feel completely comfortable with our choices. The service was absolutely top-notch, the food was amazing, and the whole experience was perfect. Thank you, Owen, for making our anniversary so special and memorable. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “Everything about this place was impeccable. The staff was attentive and always answered your questions or explained the concepts, with a lot of information given prior to your booking. The interior is stunning, making you feel like you are on a beach, but elevated. Ambient lightning, beautiful tables and spacious seating area will always make you feel comfortable. I especially liked the tiny lamp on the table - great for photos. The food was also delicious, especially the Tuna tartare, the tempura haloumi, and the ice cream inspired of Greek deserts. My only disappointment is the langoustine orzo as it had barely any langoustine - perhaps if they did it with more seafood it would be better. I loved the themed 'air, water, fire, earth' cocktail menu, such an innovative idea.”

  “I visited Fenix at The Goods Yard in Manchester recently, and the food absolutely delivered. The standout was the rib eye steak – beautifully cooked with a perfect sear, served alongside creamy mashed potato and quality sides including marinated olives and fresh vegetables. The pasta dishes were equally impressive, with rich, earthy sauces and thoughtful plating. Every plate showed attention to detail, from charred cabbage to roasted zucchini done just right. The presentation is well above average for the price point. However, the experience was marred by service issues. I had to ask twice for the bill, and when it eventually arrived, the wait was over 10 minutes – frustrating when you’re ready to leave. On a smaller note, the napkins had a musty, mouldy smell, which felt like a hygiene slip-up that shouldn’t happen in a restaurant of this caliber. Only noticed when wiping some food from my mouth. The verdict: Fenix has genuinely excellent food and a nice atmosphere at The Goods Yard. If they tighten up their service consistency and basic hygiene checks, this would easily be a 5-star spot. Worth a visit for the cooking, just be patient with the pacing.”

  “Went to Fenix for a midweek lunch without kids. We were invited to have a drink downstairs in the Nest bar which was great. Then for lunch we had the Summer Edit tasting menu which was phenomenal. Our waiter, Liam was great and talked us through the menu as well as advised on which wine we should choose. Food was excellent, especially the shiso vinaigrette which I could drink bowls of! The huge frozen greek yoghurt with candied walnuts honey and Greek doughnuts was the perfect finale.”

  “We came here on a Saturday night to celebrate a special occasion. We were aware of the dress code and made sure we dressed appropriately, so we had high hopes given how highly rated the restaurant is. The food definitely lived up to our expectations and the service was quick and efficient. The only downside for us was the atmosphere. As the evening went on, the music became so loud that we had to shout to have a conversation. It also felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant, with some guests wearing very revealing outfits that didn’t seem to align with the stated dress code. If you’re looking for a lively night out, this may be exactly what you’re after. However, if you’re planning to celebrate a special occasion or are hoping for a more refined dining experience, it’s worth bearing this in mind.”

  “I visited Fenix The atmosphere was nice, although the music was a bit too loud. The food was okay, but I felt it was overpriced. What disappointed me most was the lack of clear communication. A member of staff told me the large sharing steak was £47, so I ordered it expecting that to be the total price for the dish. When the bill arrived, I was shocked to see I had been charged £98. When I questioned it, another member of staff explained that the price was £47 per person. This was never explained when I ordered. Had I been told that, I would not have chosen it. Although I paid the bill, I left feeling very disappointed by the misleading explanation and poor communication. Unfortunately, this experience means I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend it based on my visit.”

  “An Impressive First Visit with Great Food & Drinks! 🤩 ​I recently visited Fenix Restaurant and Bar for the first time, and overall, I walked away incredibly impressed! The menu has a fantastic selection, and both the food and the drinks were absolutely stellar—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. ​My only minor critique would be the service. It was a bit slow/inattentive at times, which kept the night from being flawless. However, the quality of the meal more than made up for it. Everything else about the experience, from the atmosphere to the presentation, was just perfect. ​I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu! ​#Foodie #Cocktails #RestaurantReview #GoodVibes #FirstImpressions”
