La Vina Manchester in Manchester

Went for lunch one Sunday. It was very quiet - only our table and one other was occupied. A member of our party has a shellfish allergy. The waiter requested allergies and endeavoured to ensure we were aware of what we could order. Unfortunately, they inforned us that they had a second fryer out of order which decreased the menu choice, as they used the working one for frying shellfish. I know it cannot be helped if equipment breaks, but as the menu choice was already small, that person had limited choice. The menu was also limited for the vegetarian among us. However, the food we did choose was nice. The downstairs toilet was absolutely freezing cold and was in need of a deep clean. The service was fine.

We were very disappointed we haven't been here for over 3 years used to love it. Taken upstairs part of the restaurant left for 15 minutes nobody came to ask if we wanted a drink my husband had ti go back down stairs to ask . When waiter came was ok but miserable apologised but didn't seem that bothered. Limited tapas more main meals wasn't impressed. A couple on another table Walked out wished we had done the same.

The tables are barrels so really hard to sit underneath especially if you're tall like me, I couldn't reach food. The food itself was good especially the octopus but my partner had a steak that wasn't cooked to how he asked and also very fatty so I'd stick to the seafood.

Chilled atmosphere. Lovely food and excellent service. Well worth trying if you not been before

This used to be one of our Manchester favourites. Sadly not any more. The staff are lovely and very friendly, but to sit in a cold restaurant with no heating in January with your coat on is unacceptable. Menu is different , we much preferred a good variety of smaller dishes.

First thing that it was very cold and only a tiny fan heater and we were cold including the food after a short period of time. Food was nice but had to wait ages for staff to get payment done although they were friendly. Surprisingly no paella on the menu anymore.

Food was very nice and restaurant lovely inside. Staff attentive and friendly. Would recommend.

Wasnt impressed with the starter it was made out as though the main Ingredient was goats cheese which in fact it was just a little crumble over , other than that the food was tasty

Very disappointed- nothing special. Chicken wings pretty tasteless, selection of breads was basically 6 hard slices of bread, cheese board was tiny. Calamari and king prawns were nice. Pork belly was delicious. Overpriced, descriptions didn’t match the food and small portions. £6 added to bill for service charge for just 2 of us eating. I wouldn’t recommend and I wouldn’t go back.

Simply divine! The service is good and they catered for non drinkers by mixing a mocktail of our choosing. Love the music and the atmosphere here. Oh and the food.....WOW! I had the garlic prawns and they were fresh and tasty!
