"After we have tried various places to eat on a bank holiday to discover it completely booked or rude fellow workers, we have luck with our 5th attempt. it was so refreshing to be welcomed and informed, there were food available. our friends were vegan and this place had a lot of choice surprising for them! we had happy to arrive during the happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails. I chose a distinctive mojito that was made beautiful. for beginners I really wanted to taste chicken wings or the mac n cheese, but I worship bulton. When that came, it was just like the one my friend had brought back from Malawi. it was convenient to use a paper bag that offers a medium for snacks later and kitty tasty. for the net order all hate one? a thick broth plate, filled with various meats such as lamb or pebbles. I had a bobadi dish that were baked with mint. all seasoned were perfect and generous. overall really good service and a beautiful variety especially for vegan vegan vegans."

"best ice creams in some and salford around a mile. the cone is excellent, the dark chocolate decoration is delicate and a beautiful note, but the ice. the gelato omg. there is no cake to describe how good it is. I jumped all the time of happiness while I ate this ice. I want to try again. the vegan options were decent (I think 4 options, two fruity sorbets and two creamy, nutella and lotus.) I am so happy that this place exists. how is it possible that some have a million Neapolitan pizza restaurants, but no decent gelato options?"

"I've passed this place so often and always said I'll try this place. at least on the 15th january I did that and I was not disappointed. from the moment they go through the door, they are greeted with a smile, they are not rushed. to place an order, they are relaxed when they order their drinks and eat. the brave are the best. we had four between us and it was full. the house wine on the glass is expensive £3 for 125ml, which works £18 per bottle. However, the bottle price was around £11 so cheaper to buy the bottle when they share. I would definitely go back. and liz liptrot"

"The place was a bit dark and dreary when the South American name would indicate Latino bright and vibrant atmosphere. Swivel seating was a bit unusual and there was live music but again it was a bit dreary. The wine list was presented to us (a book) and the wines were extensive and very expensive the cheapest being £30. We went for the food experience not a wine tasting which was way over priced. the usual wines we would select were all in the region of £60 to £80 a bottle. It was a bit of a spoiler really. The steaks came on a black plate with chips on the side. We had asked for medium but they were more medium rare and had t been rested properly as there was blood running from it. There was a lot of lumps off at in the steak we have had a lot nicer. The seasonal green veg was garden peas and pea pods and shoots and I selected the sriracha sauce which was more of a green herb and chilli oil with crushed chillies , very greasy and not a sauce. Sauces. To be honest we were just goi g to walk when we saw the wine prices but it was our anniversary. We didn’t have a starter just the main and we really just wanted out. The whole experience was over in 40mins. They did offer a complimentary drink and we asked them to give it to the young couple who sat next to use and didn’t have any wine after viewing the wine list."

"I went to Albert’s castlefield yesterday, ordered the chicken. It came out incredibly dry and my friend ordered chips which weren’t cooked and were anaemic. No one came to our table to ask how the food was, only when we’d finished. I didn’t eat any of the chicken, I put some on my friends plate for her to try and she agreed. We spoke to a waitress at the end and she said ‘so sorry about that, is there anything you would like instead’ I said yes please il just have a dessert, sticky toffee pudding which was actually nice. When the bill came they’d put all the food on! I ended up speaking to what I’m guessing was the manager who said, I didn’t tell anyone at the time this was because no one came to the table to ask! she also stated I’d eaten my chicken, which me and my friend both stated to her I ate none of it! I put it on my friends plate for her to try which was evident on her plate. Eventually the manager took the dessert off the bill. I’ve been before and it’s never been like this such a shame. I was here few weeks ago and it was lovely. Completely disappointing"
