   Second visit and great food and wine. Steak is stunning. Although fig starter was bland. Starter took 45 minutes to arrive and it was quiet.

   Very disappointed that we could not be offered any more heating. Gas heaters NOT working on the coldest day of the year.

   I went with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We had a lovely time. The waitress and the manager were helpful. They explained the menu and were genuinely lovely people. The found us seats in the cocktail bar which was another delightful place to be. The upside to sitting on the high tables is being close to the fire on a cold night. The only downside was the spacing between the tables and the bar. Staff members walk around however other services users walked past often knocking into the chairs. I would recommend Freight Island. The party kicks in at 10:30Pm on a Saturday night. This changed the vibe of the chilled out night which was needed by this time. Overall we had a great time. Oh one more thing! You can take your dog! Well someone did. :)

    I've had food from Levanter / Baraxturi several times in Ramsbottom including the pinxos which has always been exceptional but in comparison, the food was not at the same level for this all you can in pinchos. Unfortunately the tortilla had egg shells in it which was very off-putting but the rest was decent and the value was exceptional for what you get but I don't think it's the company's best work. The staff were lovely and very friendly but Escape to Freight Island is very noisy especially with the live music which was good but we were shouting to hear each other and we went there for food, not music. I think I would stick to the Ramsbottom branches which is one of my favourite tapas places in Manchester. This one at Escape isn't quite my scene but I'm sure it would be for a large group having a fun evening.

    We booked this restaurant based on the menu. The beef cheeks it was the thing to order as Spanish restaurant speciality. The rest was grilled steak that we can get anywhere. They didn’t have the beef cheeks on the menu. Utterly disappointed. Never again.

    Visited Baratxuri for the all you can eat Pinxtos deal after seeing the hype on social media. Unfortunately, on this occasion, we were let down. We hadn’t anticipated the pinxtos would all be cold, which ruined a number of the ones we would otherwise have liked. The selection also wasn’t particularly wide, with many repeats. We would have expected more meat based pieces on offer, especially for a vendor specialising in steak. We were bored of the selection after two small plates and ended up leaving to find a proper meal elsewhere. I would only recommend this deal for nibbles with drinks.

    Overall a good experience. However, non of the pinxo were labelled or under hot plates so went cold if you didn’t jump up when they brought out fresh ones. It was really noisey due to the live music in the same venue and struggled to hear each other. We were there for 2hrs and never got asked if we wanted another drink

    Amazing night, we were sat right at the bar next to the food and with full view of the kitchen which was perfect for us. Then it turns out there was a live band playing Abba songs! Made our night & wasn’t too loud. Food was great, felt like good quality food rather than cheap stuff. Great value for money !

    Worst service I have ever experienced. We left without ordering and went somewhere else. The staff ignored us for 10 minutes when we arrived at front desk. We then waited a further 10 minutes for a menu. We were then told we couldn't sit on a bigger table, despite the restaurant being empty. There were only 2 other tables in when we arrived and we still didn't get attended to. Disgraceful.

    Two main courses arrived before the starters. They were taken away but came back out the second time at room temperature. Disappointing for 2 x £24 of steak. One of the other guests had all of their tapas plates arrive first, another waited a further 20 minutes for any of theirs to arrive. Also found the website for ordering drinks to be very temperamental and ultimately gave up. We did politely pointed out the issues when the bill arrived and received a £9 deduction on a £130 food bill which was something I guess. Would probably come back for more relaxed dining another time as the place looks great but not for a special occasion.

    Loved the Pintxos concept and thought that was good value. We also ordered a dish from the grill menu, which was lovely - would definitely come again. It was a little cold - not sure if it’s sissy’s like that in there but when I come again I’ll bring a jumper! :0)
