Another hand

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt very welcomed by the staff and ambience! Definitely suggesting sitting at the kitchen bar if you would like to chat with some great chefs. The scallop and tomatoes were a standout for us, unreal. The wine list was really approachable with some good natural gems. Every dish was explained perfectly, and having chefs drop dishes was a great touch. Chef Max made the experience one of the best we've had in England with some great conversation. We will be definetly be back and spread the word!

Arrived during lunch hour and it was no problem to have lunch without a reservation. Very friendly and professional staff. The have a nice selection of wine by the glass and the bottle selection is also really good. Foodwise I can say that every dish had wonderfully balanced ingredients of high quality. Some of the dishes (artichoke and cabbage with mussels) were magnificent. A must visit when you want wine and dine on a high level in Manchester.

We were really looking forward to visiting this restaurant, especially since it has a high rating of 4.8 on Google. The starters were a pleasant surprise—very good and creative. However, the main courses were a bit of a letdown. The cabbage tasted good, but the core was bitter. Unfortunately, the steak was dry and overcooked, even after we sent it back (we had ordered it medium rare). Overall, we wanted to give this place a higher rating because it seemed like a hidden gem, especially for the price. We’ll need to come back another time to see if it was just an off night.

Wonderful dining experience. We were lucky enough to sit at the chefs table. Each dish was well thought out & described to us. Super accommodating by plating the meat & mushroom elements separate from their dishes so I could enjoy them (as a mushroom hating veggie 🤣) my husband was able to eat them as intended. The cabbage dish was especially good, though all the dishes we chose were superb. Great wine selection, and very knowledgeable front of house were able to advise us on our selection, even offering tasters so we could choose. We were both wowed & will definitely return.

For only a small restaurant this place packs a punch. They made my partners 40th such a special experience and looked after us so well. With gorgeous seasonal food that is so intricately put together I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Fantastic little restaurant hidden away on Deansgate mews. The dining room is great, with an open kitchen. The service too is good and really friendly. But the highlight is the food. The menu is cleverly put together with something for everyone, every dish packed with flavour and beautifully cooked. It takes a bit of finding… but it’s well worth it when you do

This place was probably one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to in my life. I had booked at table at this establishment over a month in advance and *specifically* stated there would be a young child in our group. First, they mistakenly booked us for the the wrong date, which I was very understanding about. When I informed them that they had made a mistake, they correctly it promptly and booked us for the correct day. We arrived for our dinner reservation and we were all excited to try this place out. But after ordering our food, the chef/owner served our dishes along with some pretty mean and "borderline hostile" words. He basically said he would hate to have to ask us all to leave, but the child had to act 'properly'. According to him, children are not usually allowed but since we "showed up" with a child they were kind enough to let us in. Apparently their restaurant is 'high end' and customers spend a lot of money not to be disturbed and it's an intimate establishment so noise must be kept to a minimum, etc. And trust me, I get it! Restaurants have their rules and some times children are not welcome. I am completely understanding of these rules. HOWEVER, I specifically stated a child (and their age) in my reservation email. Your staff and restaurant accepted our reservation and did NOT say or hint in any way that children were not allowed. This is a problem that the restaurant should've handled internally by increased training instead of rudely reprimanding patrons for bringing in a child. Train your staff properly! Tell them not to accept reservations from parties that include children. Lastly, a piece of advice for this 'owner/chef': your approach is completely inappropriate. You might have three kids but that doesn't make you a good parent. If your first instinct to a child entering your restaurant and making some noise is to reprimand the parents, then I suggest you think hard about what kind of person and parent you are. Instead of offering help or understanding, you gave us some pretty harsh words that honestly felt very much like a threat. You ruined a happy occasion. Honestly, your food might be good, but we wouldn't know because everything tasted bitter after what you said.

Just phenomenal. Service was excellent and the suggestions and explanations were very helpful when choosing dishes. Excellent variety on the menu and the key ingredients on each dish really seem to shine. Will happily return. P.s best seats in the house are at the chef’s table!
