Bar 38

• Good venue.
• Appalling food, abysmal staff, long wait, petulant waitresses, avoid like the plague.

“I have never been bothered to spend the time to write a review. However I have just returned from a weekday lunch at bar 38 and am seething. Never have I come across such incompetence, outright rudeness, and terrible quality food. Terrible is not a strong enough word actually. In summary: got there, took a seat outside. Waited 15 minutes for service, but the waitresses decided to ignore us. The business associate I had met there for lunch decided to flag down the waitress. She turned her back and muttered conspicuously can you not see I am busy. This is astounding behavior, particularly given that my associate asked in an extremely polite manner (not to mention that we had been very patient already). Time passed. I eventually went inside and got a drink at the bar (this took some time since there was one bar maid serving both restaurant and bar customers) I opened a tab for food. More time passed. Eventually we were able to order food. Food eventually came a Peri-Peri Chicken Wrap. This was plain (not Peri-Peri) pieces of packaged chicken on a wrap, served cold. I didnt raise this because we were now very short of time. Waited some time for the bill. Went inside to pay at the bar, there was a huge queue at the bar. Politely I asked a waitress if we could settle her tab with her. The answer was a curt no you can pay at the bar. I explained that we were now short of time and there was a large queue at the bar. Her next response was incredible well because you wont pay at the bar, Im going to have to get the manager now. Do you want me to do that? This is no way to talk to a customer. The manager surfaced and after a lot of pointing to us, was able to produce a credit card machine. I paid, and then asked for a receipt. Not to my surprise, we had been overcharged. The petulant waitress blamed this on me and my guest since we had told her we were at table one. I pointed out that I asked if we could settle tab one. Eventually I was refunded by cash the relevant amount, but not given a receipt. Time taken for this total debacle: 1 hour 30 minutes. For 2 wraps and 2 mineral waters. I fear this establishment has fallen into the same trap many establishments in London have done thinking that a great venue means they can treat customers like crap. Abysmal!”

Michelangelo

Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• The food, the atmosphere.
• The bill! (but is reasonably priced for such excellent cuisine).

“Great food in a very friendly atmosphere. The owner is a typically friendly Italian who aims to make sure his customers enjoy themselves. Feels like a little piece of Italy in one of Manchester's most vibrant areas.”

Greens

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Value for money.
• Fairly noisy.

“My husband and I have been hearing about Greens for years but figured we'd never be in Manchester to get the opportunity to try it. We were thrilled therefore to be going to the city for the World Championships at the Velodrome and took the chance to book a table. We were more than pleased. We fully expected the food to be superb, and it was - my deep fried purl with potato Rogan josh was mouth-boggling if there were such a term and the sticky toffee pudding is simply the best we've ever had and we've had a few! But on top of that we were so impressed by the front of house people. The staff were so friendly and helpful, making us feel genuinely welcome and appreciated - not a common thing in any restaurant. We'll be back!”

Lead Station (The)

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[6] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Food ok.
• Scottish waitress 0/10.

“Hey, we enjoyed an OK meal, wine was also good, but the whole evening was spoiled by a rude waitress, small Scottish, you kind of got the feeling who was doing who the favor? There are so many cool places to eat and drink in Charlton and Didsbury the Lead Station will be off our list from now on. Sorry this lady needs her P45 she really isn't doing your restaurant any favors. ”
