Fun and relaxed
Awesome place to chill out and have a chat after work or on the weekends. Decent priced drinks and snacks, with lots of room and big comfy booths and tables. The sort of place where you can drop in wearing your trainers, jeans, and a hoodie, but still experence a clean and trendy atmosphere.

Great theater
I went and saw batman here on a sunday night, and found that it was very well organised. It was sold out and extemely crowded, yet the staff were very helpful and peopel were let into the theater in a very orderly fashion. Although we didn't have what would be considered 'great' seats, we still had a awesome view and really enjoyed the film. IMAX is a must for any big blockbuster action movie!

Tasty Food- Dirty dishes
Pesto was my first experience with Italian tapas, and I certainly enjoyed it food wise. It was tasty and filling, and boasted a good atmosphere. However, I expected it to be a decent calibre restaraunt, yet there were some critical errors made that you would only expect from a cheap run down pub.

Firstly, Two of the four sets of cutlery on our table came complete with left overs baked on from somebody elses meal. And not small stains either but decent sized chunks of food. Secondly, one of our pint glasses was served to us with a considerably large chip in the lip of the glass. Thirdly, we ordered a basket of bread, and within the basket of bread was a bowl of olives. We didn't order the olives, but ate them anyway, assuming they were part of the dish. However, when we got our bill, we found we were charged an additional 4 pounds for the olives.

Throughout the meal we had pointed these things out to the server, who quickly and efficiently corrected these things, eg- replaced the dirty cutlery. However, we were offered no sort of discount or free appitiser, and still paid for the olives. This leads me to believe that Pestos and their staff feel that this is an acceptable level of service to offer to their customers.

If they feel that dirty dishes and chipped glasses are acceptable in the dining room, I wonder what is acceptable in the kitchen?

I wouldn't recommend Pestos, and would suggest people stick to Manchesters many other Tapas restaraunts.

Good Pizza
Grinch is a really nice place to start your night out. The food and service is really nice, and very reasonably priced. I just had a basic margarita pizza, but it was very tasty and obviosly made with fresh ingrediants. I did however find the it a little crowded on a friday night, so I wouldn't recommend it for quite romantic night out. I would definatly go again and recommend it to friends. We were there as a large group and they catered to us well, and got everybody's meals out at the same time.
