   Went for Valentines weekend and had an absolutely exceptional experience! Incredible lobster, baby chicken, salmon tartare, pork belly, cinnamon donuts and my girlfriend and I left every plate clear.

   I have made my reservation for valentines tasting menu on 14th February and stepped in the restaurant with great expectations. When I have made the booking, I was informed through the confirmation that it’s a 7 course meal and it’s £69pp. If I am getting charged per person then the dishes that they serve should also be per person and I was expecting 1 dish of 2 portions for my partner and myself. However 6 dishes were served in 1 portion and we were asked to share them which stunned us. It totally ruined our valentines evening and we felt betrayed to pay 138 before taxes for sharing a meal. Would never recommend Sexy Fish to any and I have already spread the word to my colleagues when they were looking forward to hear my experience. I could have opted for an ala karte and chosen my own plates if this was mentioned clearly in their instructions while making the reservation. Can I also add, people love music absolutely but not at the cost of not enjoying the food or unable to hear the partner sitting next to you. Thank you Sexy Fish for totally upsetting our Valentines evening

   The food was delicious but the service was below average and unexpected for a fancy restaurant. Waiter didn’t show us all menus, only a la carte. Service was slow and came across as rude, not eager to get you another drink. Decor was stunning, though frosty service let the ambience down. Rec - don’t order the set menus, the portions of food on the set menu were smaller than ordering on the a la carte, so in the end not good value for money.

   We had high hopes for our Galentine’s Day dinner at Sexy Fish Manchester, but unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. Upon arrival, the ambiance was stunning, and we were seated promptly. We ordered a bottle of wine while deciding on our meals, but this is where things started to go downhill. Two of us wanted to order the special set menu, while the third, who wasn’t feeling well, preferred something lighter from the regular menu. Shockingly, we were told that we all had to order from the set menu or none at all. This led to a frustrating back-and-forth for 45 minutes, during which we were also informed that we couldn't order their Hiro dish from the main menu unless all three of us ordered it. To make matters worse, a senior staff member then came over and informed us that we only had an hour at the table, meaning we had to make a decision fast. By this point, we were starving and just ordered mains and nibbles. The food arrived quickly—the steak was good, the sushi was mediocre, and most dishes were decent—but the service continued to disappoint. As we were eating, we were rushed again, being told we had 10 minutes to finish and leave. When we asked about dessert, we were only offered a to-go box instead of being allowed to enjoy it at the table. For a bill that totaled £300, the experience was absolutely not worth it. The rigid ordering policy, rushed service, and lack of hospitality made this a place we would never return to. If you’re looking for a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience, Sexy Fish is not the place to go.

   The food was good and the place was lovely but the music was so loud - the loudest restaurant we have eaten at in Manchester! We eat out every week, mostly in Manchester, and have never experienced anything like it before. Definitely aimed at the younger demographic. We gave up on having any conversation at all. Will not go back.

   Poor service, bland food, too expensive for how bland and inedible it was, arrived late and had to return the because the rice was burnt, we were sat at the table close to the door and every time the door opened it was cold - had booked the table for a birthday meal! We asked be moved and they could not accommodate it although there were tables available. Overall definitely not worth how expensive it is for such below average service.

    Excellent service and amazing food as usual. Perfect mood for date night and the wine and cocktails were outstanding.
