    The food was lovely and the restaurant is really beautiful. However it was our waiter "labuto" who made the experience memorable. He was a lovely smiley well mannered young man who couldn't do enough for us. Both myself and my wife would like to thank him for his service.

    The food was amazing. Service was great and Kat was really lovely. The roast was perfect and the bread and butter pudding that Kat recommended was so good. It was a really enjoyable lunch.

    Food was delicious, great vibes, amazing ambience m. The waitress was so knowledgable and professional handling my son’s allergies. The chef went above and beyond to accommodate and make him something kid friendly and delicious. Great experience. I would definitely recommend.

    Great ambience and good eclectic mix of food. Usually hard to find something that suits adults and teenage boys, but this hit the spot. Part of the Kimpton Clocktower hotel.

    Lovely food but £28 for a roast is ridiculous even for Manchester and £11 for the tiniest pavlova and teaspoon of sorbet. Not doubting the taste but for value it’s poor. We always come here for a roast but at £180 for a family of 5 sharing puddings we won’t be back in a hurry
