  “Lovely restaurant and atmosphere with excellent food cooked to order. Maybe it was just the day we dined, but the only negative was the length of time it took to take our orders and serve the food. Rather akin to the French - all afternoon!”

  “The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, lots of plants and greenery. Today I ordered a steak with salad, potatoes and an egg. The portion was so big that I still had dinner at the cottage. Fresh and delicious. The staff was very friendly and made sure that I didn't miss anything. I recommend it with all my heart and from today I will be a frequent customer.”

  “Beautiful restaurant however the service was poor the food was mediocre and the staff were inexperienced. There was only 1 other table in the restaurant so not busy at all. Waited that long to get even a drink that's had too go and ask staff to serve us. No specials even though it states so on the menu. No pies as they were waiting for a delivery. There was a piece on glass on the table! Staff dont have a clue about good customer service. Decided not to have dessert as just wanted to get up and leave. All in all a very dissapointing evening. Won't be visiting again.”

  “What a perfect evening. Enjoyed every minute of tonight, the staff were fantastic especially our waitresses Zara and Hannah, friendly and helpful. I opted for the man salad which is probably one of the best meals I've had, no joke. Plenty of meat, well balanced meal. Will certainly be coming again. Additionally the security guard Billy is a top guy. Thanks to everyone for making my daughter's birthday memorable !”

  “A bit of a deceptive tardus, this one. From the street, it's just another little local shop converted into something else. But what a something else it really was. I saw the sign for fish and chips and thought. Yep! That's what I fancy today, " again".😁 I had started my drive this morning in Liverpool. Drove to Newcastle upon tyne and then back down to Manchester and a local hotel, before bed and another vusit in the norning. Just fancied a quick snack foe the evening and after a short walk from my hotel found this place. I saw the sign for fish and chips and thought perhaps a takeaway. That was before I got inside. Totally blown away by the décor, atmosphere and beauty of the place. I was led to the back of the building, and to what I could easily believe was a dining table in the rainforest. My fish and chips was great, not too sure about the tata source, little different from what i'm used to but nice. Thanks Hannah I was so impressed with it all found myself. Sending pictures off to friends and family. I would definitely come again”

  “One of the best breakfast experiences I’ve had! The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and very relaxing. The food quality was excellent—especially their English breakfast, which was fresh and full of flavor. The coffee was also perfectly made and aromatic. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot.”

  “What a great spot in Monton. Came here midweek for some food and was very impressed. One of the best burgers ive had out so well worth it for this. Dessert was great too loved it. Staff very friendly and the prices reasonable too. The coffee was disappointing though. Decor is amazing and the vibe very good. Will be back for more but hope the coffee gets better.”

  “OLD Food & untrained staff I dined here with my mother today, and the experience was far from pleasant. I ordered the garden salad with grilled chicken, and my mother had the Chicken & Waffle. Her waffle was old, stale, and so hard she couldn’t even cut through it. The chicken was decent, but it didn’t make up for the rest of the dish. As for my salad, it looked nice at first, but upon eating, I found old, slimy pieces of lettuce mixed with the fresh ones. It tasted off, and I even found a soggy piece of cucumber that seemed days old. There were two types of tomatoes—one fresh cherry tomato and another sliced tomato that was clearly past its prime. At this point, I couldn’t eat any more and called the waiter to express my concerns. He pointed to the cucumber and claimed it was zucchini, which was obviously wrong and there is not suppose to be zucchini in this salad anyway. The waiter offered to replace my meal, but I was in a hurry to pick up my son, and I had already wasted enough time. What bothered me most was the lack of accountability from both the chef and management. The quality of the food was shocking, and it’s clear the chef didn’t care about the food he was serving. The waiter’s lack of knowledge was frustrating, and the management did absolutely nothing to address the situation. When I asked for the bill, there was no apology, no discount—nothing. While I wasn’t looking for a refund, the way the situation was handled was ridiculous. Not a single manager came over to speak with me, and the entire experience left a lot to be desired. You should all be ashamed of yourself. Avoid this place if you expect decent food or customer service. P.s - hoping I don't get any food poisoning from this.”
