"I was in the area with a friend and we were looking for a place to get for a quick lunch. We found La Mancha and, initially, we were the only ones in there, but decided to give it a try anyway. Once inside, you'll be welcomed by a quaint atmosphere, with a colorful and eye-catching décor. It does remind me of my own Latin roots. From the table we were seating, everything felt like a authentic Spanish location. Even the street outside gets feels like completely different place, than the busy city beyond the buildings that surround it. There was Spanish music playing in the background which was at the ideal volume, loud enough to cover any background or street noise but quiet enough that it doesn't distract or covers your own conversation. Anyway, we have ordered a couple of dishes each and I must say, we weren't disappointed. Everything was fresh and tasty and completely on par with the look and feel of the restaurant. Prices were quite good and we were satisfied with the overall experience. On the downside, this restaurant might be a bit tricky to find as it's on a narrow side street, but it's definitely worth it and I highly recommend it."

"For starters, we ordered garlic mushrooms with blue cheese sauce. I was a bit hesitant about the blue cheese, as I'm not usually a fan, but it turned out to be delightful. For the main course, I had the beef fillet with tomato sauce, and the meat was incredibly tender—it practically melted in my mouth. My friend ordered the same dish but with blue cheese sauce, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We also shared some cheese-covered chips on the side. I love cheese, and this one was so good that it melted in my mouth and tasted heavenly with every bite. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying the sticky toffee pudding, which was rich and delicious. My taste buds are still celebrating! If I had to choose one meal to eat for the rest of my life, this would be it. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. The waitstaff were all wonderful and very attentive, checking in on us to ensure everything was satisfactory with our meals. Overall, I would rate this experience a perfect 11/10—amazing!"

"I have been a patron of Suburb for many years, since its opening, and I have always had positive experiences. However, my recent visit was extremely disappointing. We had made a reservation for 5 people, but only three of us had arrived on time. Within ten minutes, the waitress/owner rudely informed us that we needed to order our food immediately because our table was needed. We were not informed about any time restrictions when making the reservation, and the service felt rushed and disorganized. It seemed as though they had overbooked. We felt pressured by the manageress and waitresses to hurry up and order. Additionally, they made mistakes with a vegan order and forgot to bring water. When we asked for the water, the manageress responded with a disrespectful facial expression. Overall, the atmosphere was disappointing."

"Visited here to celebrate a family engagement recently. To begin with the service was quick attentive. However, as the night progressed service become overwhelming and on the side of frustrating. When ordering the waitress disappeared for 5 minutes to figure out what they had...left On return she didn't even say anything just stared blankly. Odd. Once ordered, she then returned and said they didn't have any steaks for the Surf Turf' that was ordered. Weird Unsure how she missed telling us this when she asked the kitchen pre-ordering? Anyway, we were offered a replacement for the steak which we accepted without bother, with the agreement the steak would be discounted off the final bill. This however did not happen. Once food arrived...slowly may I add...In the space of 2 minutes we were asked by 3 different staff members if we were happy with everything around 6 or 7 times. Lovely they want to ensure we are ok, however when you haven't even started yet or you are trying to finish a mouthful you just want to eat in peace enjoy private conversation. Food was okay. Below par cold. After being, what felt like, hurried out of the door at the end (the staff clearly were ready to go home by 9pm) we were left feeling incredibly underwhelmed. All I can recommend is stay away from the Dianne Sauce."
