I had read reviews about this restaurant and noted that it seemed highly rated, appearing in the top ten Manchester restaurants on several sites. My expectations were high. I had previously enjoyed a bottle of wine with meat and cheese in the bar area. I was slightly disappointed by the food in the restaurant. I have had better tapas in Manchester for a lot less money. I had been planning to take a group of friends here to celebrate my birthday in June, but have now decided to try somewhere else.
