Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The food was scrumptious, and the venue had a charming atmosphere."
  • "The lamb was incredible, right up my street, great portion."
  • "The mushroom tempura was too oily and greasy. Wings with Korean flavours were good but felt over sauced."
  • "The food can't be faulted however the service is what lets this place down."
  • "The dishes are varied and generous and of course, taste delicious."
  • "I had the pleasure of dining at Ducie Street for Sunday dinner, and it was truly a delightful experience."
  • "The atmosphere of this place is great. The food was out of this world!"
  • "The food was amazing with so many vegetarian options."

Cons:

  • "The food was generally fine but didn’t have any particular special element that stand out from other restaurants."
  • "The mushroom tempura was too oily and greasy."
  • "The mains however.....the worst burgers we have ever had! They were terrible!"
  • "I had the Turkish eggs but they were a bit disappointing as they were under seasoned."
  • "Unfortunately the Sunday lunch wasn't as good as we remember from our last visits."
  • "Went for Sunday lunch, I suspect everything was cooked in advance and reheated in a microwave."
  • "The roast potatoes were undercooked. The beef and lamb were sliced very thinly and the gravy had a strange smokey flavour."
  • "Food was a bit hit or miss- my friend had the burger and was quite unimpressed."

Service

Pros:

  • "Freddie, our Waiter was very attentive and gave us what we needed, when we needed it."
  • "Freddie our server for the night has been absolutely amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly."
  • "The staff were really friendly and the food was great especially their vegan options!"
  • "Staff were exceedingly polite and very efficient and personable and made the experience a pleasant one."
  • "Freddie made us feel very well looked after and we'll definitely come back next time we stay."
  • "The staff are just gorgeous, the space, the finish the attention to detail it’s cool vibe and super comfy apartments are second to none."
  • "The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish, with a mix of exposed brickwork and modern furnishings."
  • "I attended the Warehouse to sample the Sunday roast having had it recommended previously. I was not disappointed!"

Cons:

  • "For a table of 6 people waiting the best part of 75minutes for a food order to arrive is a little bit on the excessive side."
  • "The service was shocking, we pre ordered food expected to get served in a reasonable amount of time. It took over an hour."
  • "The service was so slow (non existent) & you have to stand up to find the server to order because they don’t bring you a menu."
  • "The service was terrible from the outset so it was not possible to get anyone attention anyway!"
  • "The staff seem as if they are unhappy working here and complain about understaffing etc., but they shouldn’t pass this frustration to the clients."
  • "I asked one of the staff can we get our coffee, she literally just said the restaurant only has one coffee machine and everyone has ordered coffee."
  • "It's £12 per day but you can spend £10 of that on lunch at their cafe, the food is fairly expensive so you don't get a lot for it."
  • "Great coffee and a great looking space. There are a few things going on with the coffee bar, the restaurant etc. so it was a little confusing."

Ambiance and Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "The atmosphere is relaxed and stylish, with a mix of exposed brickwork and modern furnishings."
  • "The atmosphere was great, the place was very busy for a Tuesday, and the wine was delicious."
  • "The atmosphere is great. We came on a Saturday night and the food was out of this world!"
  • "This is a really lovely big open space for central Manchester. Staff are great, relaxed and friendly."
  • "Great vibe in here, nice ambient DJ set, lovely atmosphere, also had a drawing offering with a local artist doing sketches."
  • "A stunningly converted warehouse in the heart of Manchester. The space is vast and airy, with soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light."
  • "The staff are just gorgeous, the space, the finish the attention to detail it’s cool vibe and super comfy apartments are second to none."
  • "Really relaxed atmosphere, staff were very accommodating with us and our 5 year old son, and the food and wine was top notch."

Cons:

  • "The atmosphere lacked - a lot! and potentially the restaurant staff popped over from reception in a denim jacket to serve us dinner."
  • "This has been a great place and served me well for somewhere to work whilst our office has been closed. It's £12 per day but the music gets a bit loud sometimes."
  • "The thing I struggle to understand is the service; nobody came to take our order at the table, so I asked a waiter if I could order at the bar."
  • "The staff seem as if they are unhappy working here and complain about understaffing etc., but they shouldn’t pass this frustration to the clients."
  • "Very multi functional space for lunch, dinner, drinks, meet friends and even a place for co- working, also fit for holding workshop, event and party."
  • "The place is cool but the service is soo poor. You need to wait so long before being served. Very disorganised."
  • "A good, sizeable space to chill and work in. I went with some developer friends to do some coding."
  • "Good vibes at first impression - looks like a good spot where to meet up with a friend over a coffee or a drink."
