Manchester Restaurants

This is quite a gem. We choose the downstairs (French) dining room which was elegantly furnished as one might expects. We were the first guests to be seated and had undivided attention from the server and staff. We choose the five course tasting menu with wine pairings. Although the restaurants wine cellars boast an extraordinary list of wines and prices, we were given the offer of relatively inexpensive wines which were chosen to complement the food in each course. There was even a bit of sauterne with the dessert soufflé! While service was excellent, our server was a bit more chatty that w might have licked on a romantic evening. I suspect others may find that very friendly and charming. This has quickly become our favourite place for a special occasion (like a romantic dinner)! More

Had a great light meal here last night. Our server Joshua had a great personality and seemed to know when we needed him and when we didn’t as he provided great service without being over bearing. We started with the Italian sausage soup which if you haven’t yet tried it you should. It is very flavorful and full of stuff. It is always a difficult decision on whether to start with this or the chili. Tonight we both decided to go with salads as our main meal. My wife went with the Cobb salad and added grilled salmon. This salad is huge and the added salmon really sets it over the top. I went with wedge salad that here is a half a head of iceberg lettuce served red onions and bacon. I added blackened chicken and it is served with a made on site ranch dressing that is lite and crisp. Overall a great night, thank you. More

Food was good. Originally seat next to bar which was very noisy. Waitress was able to move us to adjoining room which started off nice and quiet but as the places filled up it also become noisy. Too many tables & booths for the size of the room. More
