    Went for my birthday, service was so good. Staff bought me a little cake out and shots for the table with sparkling candles and beautiful presentation. The restaurant is so pretty and looks beautiful in photos. Prices are a little expensive but overall worth it for the service we received for it being my birthday.

    Where were the warnings!? You’re about to enter the hen-do from hell zone!!!!! I was thinking a Cheshire housewife owned it…my fave one too! Ahhh well, lovely staff, food and drink mediocre, pricey ..yet exemplary mash-up tunes from the 00’s at decibels I’ve never known from my dining table. An assault on the senses shall we say..don’t wanna leave a spoiler but there certainly weren’t any firework-wielding acrobats to be seen!!! Pass me the sanitiser…

    Menagerie has a beautiful atmosphere and great decor. We had the bottomless brunch with the Sunday Roast and it was absolutely scrum-diddly-umptious. The service was amazing, with the drinks coming in and flowing nicely. We didn't have to wait long for the food and drink to be served. Also we went to celebrate our engagement and was presented with a sparkle and dessert, which was a lovely touch. Our waiter was brilliant and a great asset to the restaurant.

    Booked for a brunch for five people and was given an allocated time to drink until. Prior to end of the brunch we were brought the bill - there was still time remaining for another round of drinks. This was challenged and advised that we wanted another round of drinks before we would pay- which we thought was fair. Waiter continued to push for the bill - despite us having time remaining. Eventually he revolted but with a sour look upon his face - leaving us feeling as though we had done something wrong. The service was okay to begin with however then declined. Drink orders were taken promptly. First drinks arrived with massive sparklers on it. The waiter then left the table leaving us watching the bottle engulfed in plumes of smoke; unable to pour from the lit bottle. The bottle of Prosecco was from Tesco; as were the subsequent bottles. In essence we paid nearly £50 per head to drink Tesco’s own and it was not the finest! I’m not sure if ‘supermarket chic’ is the look they are going for? There were large gaps in between drink orders, leaving us feeling as though they did not want to serve us or they had forgotten about us. The food was quite basic. A small selection of bread or pancake based meals with either a side of eggs or vat of frozen fruit. The pancakes were smothered in fruit (to excess) and swamped the micro pancakes. In essence it was an overpriced experience with little value for money. If you want to sip Tesco Prosecco with friends and eat simple food - then this might be for you. However remember to bring a fire extinguisher for your first bottle of Prosecco, a snack for your hunger , hip flask for your empty glass and a battle of words and wit for the waiter!

    Whilst what we ate and drank was good it was disappointing to me met with a list of menu options that weren’t available. There was also only one draft beer available which wasn’t great. That said we still had a good time and I thought what we had was reasonably priced.

    We came for a bottomless brunch, and although service was good, with regular top ups etc, I’m 100% sure the drinks either have less than half a shot in each or no alcohol at all. Left completely sober and £50 down, wouldn’t book again, there are muchhh better options in Manchester.

    Great venue and service excellent. Food was just ok on bottomless brunch and they forgot one of our parties meals so they had to eat in their own. Prosecco was flat and even though we kept telling them it continued to be so. I suspect it was screw top and they’d opened too many in advance.

    I booked for my sisters 18th birthday and stated this when booked. When we arrived we waited 20 minutes for our table and had to remind several people after 20 minutes and they then cleared a few glasses and sat us down by the entrance which was cold and we were surrounded by large groups who felt it was ok to use our table to put their drinks on. I usually absolutely love coming to menagerie especially for special occasions but this time it was totally not worth it and we were really disappointed, especially when it was a special birthday for my sister. I would usually recommend to a friend but after this time I’m not sure!
