   It was my first time trying their roast but the third time coming to Evelyn's (previously brunch and dinner), and the experience was overall fantastic. The food was excellent; the ambience and decor was sublime; and the service, for the most part, was exceptional. In each occasion the waiter/ress were attentive and welcoming. That being said, I felt as though the occasion was spoiled towards the end of my roast lunch. We were understandably "rushed" of our table as another booking was due in 15 mins. However we were taken a back when the waitress asked loudly in front of the table "would you still want me to bring it [the surprise birthday cake] out", to which my friend discretely said yes. However what takes the cake (pun intended) was the fact she came out with the cake visible and unlit candles in their plastic cover??? This experience was bizarre and the only reasonable explanation I can think to have caused this was due to some miscommunication, but it was our understanding that the discrete nature of a birthday surprise was, forgive me for being blunt, commonsensical. Separately, the final receipt also came out with an extra drink that we did not receive (we ordered it but the livener was out that day so we opted to cancel) but thankfully we spotted it before paying.

   Been here before and decided to take my parents as I enjoyed it. Although I do understand it’s Sunday and it busy I think overall it was just a poor experience. Was a while wait for our food and drinks and we did mention this and it was immediately met with “they’ll be on their way” in a rather dismissive tone, and to be fair they did come back and say it had been quite a wait on our drinks and sorry about said wait, it was rather annoying to almost be made out to be being overly impatient in the initial mention of the wait. To add to that the food was no where near to what I’ve had in my previous visits, not awful, but not near to the high standard I know that these guys can be. A final note was that my mum was hit on the back of the head by a sever carrying a glass bottle. Now he did apologise but come on, we didn’t want to kick up a fuss but we very easily could’ve done, it really was a good hit, and a 2 second apology after the incident just does not suffice. Not sure I will be coming again after today experience unfortunately

   The staff were so lovely - food was great! Had to step out as was not feeling too well; but the staff came and checked on me even heated my food and topped it up with an extra Yorkshire pudding! So lovely - thank you for your service

   On a city break in Manchester, we first went to Evelyn's for brunch on Saturday morning, which was excellent. We returned last night for dinner from their "Sunday Menu" - one of the best meals we've eaten out in the last 12 months. Great service - including recommendations for places to visit from our server - superb food and fantastic Margaritas! The place is ideal for a romantic night out - subdued lighting, cool background music at a level where you could talk, the place busy enough to create a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended - on our server's suggestion we're back there again one night this week for their "weeknight" dinner menu. It won't be the last time...

   Gorgeous food. Good service. Unfortunately there was a mix up with one of the orders so it took a long time to come out but it was rectified and staff were good.
