                          Good service, although it was a quiet period and so don't know how good service would be on a busy evening.

Had a pasta dish suppposed to be chicken - hardly any in it, supposed to be creamy,it was extremely dry. Not very nice - will not be going there again - very disappointing

                                                  Excellent venue - walking distance to activities at the Lowry Centre. Popular with theatre-goers and consequently well patronised. Considering the time and the pre-theatre 'rush', meals were hot, well prepared and very good. Been before - and would definitely go again! Brilliant waiter from Vancouver found time to chat in between looking after his tables. Very enjoyable meal.
