    Great food, brilliant and thoughtful customer service, lovely setting. I will definitely be coming back. The short rib was a stand out dish

    Fantastic place! Really glad we found this restaurant on a recent visit to Manchester. Traffic was hell getting there (apparently now the norm due to the one way system) but they held our table for us and explained they would try to serve us quickly due to another booking. The food was excellent. I enjoyed the pie which had a lovely pastry casing (not soggy). Desserts were small but very good. Service was friendly but at times too much - we were asked by 4 staff if our mains were OK which made it look like they didn't know who was doing the check backs. Grateful to have been asked though as some places don't bother. Would return.

    Took my mum to Masons restaurant bar for a birthday meal out. The food was impeccable, extremely full of flavour and elegantly presented. The staff were friendly and good at checking in with you for assistance, drinks & the bill. Didn't feel rushed even though it was a Saturday night before Christmas. The building is also interesting due to the Masons heritage and lovely decor throughout. Would highly recommend

    100% recommend Masons! It’s the perfect date night spot in Manchester. Me and my husband went for our wedding anniversary, booked on open table and just ticked the box that said we are celebrating our wedding anniversary and didn’t think anything of it. When we got to the restaurant we were sat in this beautiful private booth. And the waiter brought over two complimentary glasses of bubbly and wished us a happy anniversary. Such a lovely touch and not something we have ever had before. As for the staff they are so friendly and attentive including the lady who greeted us at the front desk. The food was amazing very tasty and fresh. Over all 10/10 we will definitely be returning.

    5/5 Overall 5/5 Service: Friendly and welcoming 5/5 Ambience: Cozy and decoration is classical. 5/5 Drinks 5/5 Food: No bells and whistles, everything is just right, beef cheeks is really tender and the flavouring is just right = savoury without any unnecessary sweetness on the meat.. Portion is good. 4/5 Value: A bit pricy. But there's a 50% off during January, worth a TRY.

    Great food and great service on a Wednesday afternoon. I wished we lived closer! Photo's don't do it justice!

  • 5/5 Vitor C. 7 months ago on Google
    I went yesterday with a couple of friends and we were really impressed, the menu and the service have improved a lot and everything was wonderful, especially the chicken terrine as a starter it was divine, we even had a very funny moment at the end that closed the night with a golden key, when we paid the bill we booked a table for the next few weeks so we will be back soon and will definitely recommend.

    Fantastic breakfast, great service and brilliant surroundings. I definitely recommend it here... 👌.

  • 4/5 Sara N. 8 months ago on Google
    The staff are nice and attentive however the food is average! Nothing wow, would I go back? No. Some dishes were not available so could have been removed from the menu! All credit would go to the staff.

    Our go to restaurant. Whilst other restaurants in Manchester are often gimmicky or trying too hard whilst neglecting the fundamentals. Masons sticks to the basics but does them beautifully. Impeccable and attentive service every time. Beautifully cooked classics. Attention to the small but important things such as polished cutlery and glasses. My partner has worked in hospitality for years and nit picks all the details. This is the only I have taken him for dinner without any complaints.

  • 5/5 Matt B. 10 months ago on Google
    Had a brilliant lunch at Masons. Service was excellent and the food highlight was the dessert which was stunning. Would certainly come back for more. The building and history of the venue is fascinating too.

  • 4/5 Lee R. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely building, great service. Loved the celeriac, truffle and hazelnut soup. Dad loved the spiced mussels. Parents loved the half chicken and 12 hour briased beef cheeks. My fish and chips was ok. Will go back again even better whilst the 50% off food offer was on.

  • 5/5 Thomas D. 10 months ago on Google
    The staff here were really attentive and professional without being intrusive. I was there for a birthday party, and they went out of their way to help us make it a memorable night. The food was clean, fresh, and delicious, and the drinks flowed at exactly the right pace... way too fast. Would highly recommend for intimate parties or just some smart cocktails.

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic service and food. We had a birthday dinner for two and they made the birthday girl feel special. Ambiance was modern and luxurious. We had starters of arancini and croquettes that were delicious. Mains we opted for steaks that were perfect with a cherry & almond dessert. All of this was absolutely divine. This place will take care of you and highly recommend

    Excellent service, amazing food and beautiful interior decoration! We celebrated our anniversary and we had great time! will definitely come back :)

  • 5/5 Joana W. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was exceptional and food even better. Attended on a Christmas do for work on a Friday and all went to plan. Everyone enjoyed their meal, would definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Vincent S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful food and great service. My only criticism would be the Baked Alaska dessert. No dessert should be this hard work as the centre was so solid it took a knife to get into it! Also meringue should be crisp on the outside and marshmallow on the inside. This meringue was just soft almost like a cream - not great!

  • 5/5 Chas A. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved dinner tonight, the chateaubriand Thursday offer with a bottle of wines 2 sides and sauces was amazing at £60. Service was incredible as usual. Probably my favourite meal in a long time. Can’t wait to come back - the manager Tony always makes it a great evening and is always so welcoming.

  • 5/5 Alex 2 years ago on Google
    Genuinely enjoyed our dinner there. The fish pie was fantastic, although I'm not sure why it's called a pie. Was more of a creamy fish soup. Speaking of soups, the cauliflower soup for starter was great too. Service was friendly and prompt. Can definitely recommend this place.

  • 4/5 L B. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful building and a very high spec but comfortable restaurant, the service is high end but it’s the perfect blend of fine and casual dining, a winning combo. Staff were helpful, friendly and very attentive, filling up your water when needed was a classy touch. They lose a star for the squid starter, the sauce it came with was delicious but the squid was very tough and tasteless really poor for such a beautifully presented dish. The ribeye steak however was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and seasoned well, could not have been better. Overall a good experience and would recommend.

👍👍 I was craving curry during my stay in Manchester. And Google suggested this place to me. It's in the centre, almost 6 minutes away from my hotel. The interior design is very hip and it has a great vibe. The music that is being played is modern. The curry was amazing. And the prices were perfect for...
