Easter Sunday Lunch! WOW! We arrived and it was so busy but I let the staff know we were here and was getting a drink as a bit early, we got a table outside. The outdoor area is lovely and although busy there was a really good vibe about the place. They came and found us and took us to our table. There was live music on which gave a lovely atmosphere to the place and the decor is gorgeous. The staff were lovely explaining the specials but also the roast Lamb as it’s Easter. ( bloody gorgeous) The food was delicious and we didn’t wait long for our starters which we were surprised at as so busy. Our mains were spot on the best Sunday roast we have ever eaten in a restaurant! and the potions were like you get at home. Plenty of meat, loads of veggies which come separate and they brought extra gravy without us asking always a bonus for my family. Deserts went down very well with the teenagers too. Portion sizes and the quality of food was outstanding and the fact they were extremely busy the staff were friendly and helpful. Ordering drinks at the table arrived quickly ? The total bill for 6 of us with beers, soft drinks , coffee and a bottle wine was very reasonable. Safe to say I think this place will become a regular of ours. Well done to all that was working yesterday ?

What a hidden gem ! we went there on a recommendation and were not disappointed, great atmosphere on entrance, very attentive and professional staff and the food was top class, also a nice bat area to sit in when finished for a drink - would highly recommend.

Arrived out of hours to a little confusion around check in. Paul promptly sorted out and took me to the room. Beautiful, spacious and quirky. Dinner in the restaurant superb, staff fantastic (especially James). So much nicer than the impersonal chain hotels. 1st on my list to come back to if I’m up this way again!

Thank you to management and staff for making our family celebration special. You gave us the conservatory to ourselves. As there was 30 people you did well to serve everyone together even though the rest of restaurant was busy. Everyone enjoyed there meals. Lovely place and setting. Will visit the waterside again. Thanks Sandra Hill

A great find in a great spot. We were staying for one night for a gig in Manchester. We’re super impressed by The Waterside. It’s really stylish, great room with fab facillties. Food was delicious at breakfast. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The two ladies at breakfast were fantastic in service and really friendly. I’d have happily paid twice what I paid for this super stay. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came to the restaurant a few months ago and it was brilliant, however, thought the food and service were very poor this time round. It was a bank holiday so they were very busy, but the service was poor, took at least 15/20 minutes to be asked if we wanted drinks. My partner had the ultimate burger, it was massive but the burger was really over cooked - he wasn’t asked how he wanted it cooked. I had the Curry burger and it was dry and average. we came to celebrate our anniversary and it was very disappointing for the money, as it also isn’t cheap.

The staff couldn't be more useful, particularly Florin with his suggestion of the tacky toffee pudding. Delightful. Much thanks to you for your warm gladly received.

We recently stayed overnight at Waterside when attending a party close by. We had a couple of drinks in the bar before heading off - nice house Shiraz. The room was fabulous. A proper boutique hotel feel. The bed was the most comfortable, I meant to sneak a look at who made the mattress before we left. Breakfast in the morning was Eggs Benedict, OJ and Coffee. Simple but beautifully served and very tasty. Great food, great service, great accommodation. Not fussy, just done well, as it should be. Highly recommend.

Excellent quality and service. Also had a few specials. The staff were very friendly and the chef was able to accommodate some tweaks to our choices.
Such a lovely place to visit especially on a sunny Sunday! Great staff and surroundings. Dog friendly and the best Sunday roast around!

Went for Sunday lunch end of Feb - 2 adults and child. Met by staff who were welcoming, polite and great energy. Fabulous choice on menu. Lydia (what a star), looked after us from showing us to table, prompt at taking orders and extremely friendly. Great vibe in the restaurant, Very busy but staff so attentive and nothing too much trouble.

This was my first visit to this delightful and avant-garde restaurant. The ambience is delightful and we were overlooked by the waterways that skirt through Manchester there is something poetic about a barge silently moving through ghe waters. The restaurant had a full guest list testament to the polite staff and the general atmosphere. Full praise to the manager, Michael for running a respectful team the food was superior to other restaurants and it made the whole occasion one that was welcome. Thank you guys a lovely day.

A good reception. Encouraged to register with test and trace, which is excellent. We got a table outside, which was filthy. We asked staff THREE TIMES to come and clean our table and only 20 minutes after arrival did someone come. Queuing / one way system in and out of the bar was mainly ignored. Plastic menus rather than paper, and not wiped down. A real Covid hotspot where I can’t return for the good of my health. By the way, this place is in Monton, listing is incorrect.
