ok
I have been here for a night out loads of times and is always a fun atmosphere as there is plenty of room to move about but i've only been here to have lunch one. I can't say that it was the best place to have lunch as it was completely empty and i had to wait about 10 minutes before the staff even noticed that we were waiting at the bar to order. It then took about 40 minutes for the food to arrive and it wasn't that great when it did finally arrive, however it was cheap but it' better for a night out than the food.

contemporary
Not only is Bar 38 a great place to go for a night out but it is also great to have a meal at lunchtime. It is beautifully decorated and very contemporary, the menu is very varied and is reasonably priced. The food was really delicious and nicely presented. Furthermore it arrived within a reasonable time but what i always think is important is that the staff were very friendly. Bar 38 is not your regular place to have lunch in that it is slightly more than you would pay for lunch but is worth going there fore a treat every one in a while.

Nice Atmosphere
I first tried the Grinch on a Works Christmas doo and i was really impressed. It wasn't a traditional christmas menu which at first i wasn't that impressed with but when the food came it was really nice. The service was pretty slow which is a bit understandable considering that the place was fully booked but i was with friends so didn't really notice the wait. However i had a really good night and have been back since as it has some good offers on at lunch and early tea time. Its also one of them places to pop in for a drink and is definitely worth a try.

Picadilly Kro
I couldn't wait for this to open when i found out it was going to be another Kro Bar. I just love going to Kro on Oxford Road because you can have a little something to eat and a few drinks before going to a gig or a pub crawl! Kro has a nice and stylish relaxing atmosphere where you can chill out on the sofa's or sit on the stools and meet up with some friends. It has really nice pub food which isn't that dear. With its ideal location its great to stop off for a drink after shopping and watch over piccadilly gardens or a great place to start the night off.

Nice pub
The Lowe’s Arm in Denton is a nice and friendly pub which serves pub food. I have been to this pub on three occasions and have always been satisfied with the taste of the food. I also found that the food was presented nicely and more importantly it was very cheap. The staff were all very pleasant and served the food very quickly and efficiently. The pub itself has a car park which is always useful as you don’t have to worry about parking but it also has a separate dining room; this therefore means that you don’t feel like you’re eating in the pub. Good quality, cheap pub food.

Very nice
Valentino's is a really nice Italian restaurant, although its only downside is the fact that the place is very small and the tables are close together. Therefore when its busy it can feel a bit claustrophobic. It is however very nicely decorated, the menu has a real variety of food to pick from and the quality of food that is served is very nice. The service has always been reasonable and serves suitable portion sizes. It is also quite expensive but I would definitely recommend going to anyone who hasn't been before but i would suggest booking first and go on a night other than at the weekend.

Not that nice
We used to go here quite a lot when the family was getting together, not because of the quality of the food but because of the fact that there is a massive play area in the restaurant. Therefore the kids could all go and play while you wait for your meal. However i don't think that i have ever had a meal in this restaurant and enjoyed it, it is just really basic pub food. As you can imagine its full of kids running around screaming and shouting which by the end of your meal you just can't wait to get out of there for peace and quiet. Good for kids parties and that's all!

nice and friendly
Although its connected to the yang sing its not as expensive. I went to this restaurant a few months ago in my lunch break and it was a very nice meal. The restaurant itself is quite small and it was relatively quiet but the atmosphere was a nice one. One i ordered the food arrived reasonably quick but was well worth waiting for. We ordered a starter between the two of us and there was more than enough and when the main arrived it was the same again. The food was very tasty and i will definitely be going back there again as it is worth the money.

not the best in Manchester
I am also another person who had been told that this was the best chinese restaurant in Manchester, however i feel that i had to disagree with this. Don't get me wrong the food was very nice and it was very nicely presented. The staff were very helpful and the service was very fast furthermore the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant. However i just feel that i have had better chinese from my local chinese and it hasn't cost half as much as it did at the yang sing. I also found that this restaurant was extremely expensive and i expected a little more for my money.

Don't go
For those that don't know there are a lot of restaurants on the Ashton Moss that have opened up n the past couple of years, so i thought i'd give them all a try. This was one of the worst ones there. The menu itself looked really nice and so does the place, then there's the fact that you can eat for under £10. However when the food came out it was very basic and cold. My friends meal wasn't cooked to how she wanted it cooked so she had to send hers back as well. We got the meals back but we couldn't even eat them as they just weren't very nice and tasted like they had come out of a packet and warmed up. I won't be going there again.
