"an improbable evening of the week led us to dinner in la lluna. it had come at the right time when a day was a bit of an attempt that helps to wonder with special tight friends. la lluna has the brightly illuminated clobular sign that will make you smile immediately. entering the restaurant is actually quite large. palms, many padded seating, high tables and chairs, window seats, a large bar area make this restaurant welcome. light, airy, clean and spacious with a red and white thema makes the restaurant area. a huge, striking painting that seems to be the sign image for la lluna covers the entire back wall."

"We decided whilst in town on Saturday to loom for the nearest Spanish restaurant and this was a 20 minute walk away so we went for it. We didn't realise before booking that it was the sister restaurant of The Opera Tavern which we already have tried a couple of times and loved. The food is creative, delicious, well presented. Jamon Iberico de bellota and manchego are always our choice in Spanish restaurant and they were both great here. We also has the corvette flowers with goats cheese and honey, wow! Along with chicken and octopus dishes. All perfect. The decor, atmosphere and staff were all great too, very stylish place with excellent and attentive service. Worth a trip into town for or to break up a day of shopping."

"So rather than verbally giving our order we circled our choices and handed to the waiter, starters, tapas and paella. We waited about 40 minutes so asked when our starters were, the waiter apologised and said he would check in it, brought us a couple of plates and we waited, we then received all tapas and paella no starters! I asked where the starters were, look of horror and asked why the tapas and paella were brought together, the answer was is that not what you wanted? The tapas was great, but as a grazing establishment, I would have liked to think that we could pace ourselves and not have it all in one hit ! And the Paella did NOT have a crispy bottom as bet the menu stated or even as it should be. I wouldn 't have minded too much, but we were settled in for a grazing session, as you do with tapas. It was not busy at all, probably about 6 tables maximum being waited on. Bad experience, poor kitchen execution, good tapas but overshadowed by what should have been a lengthy experience turned out to be a get em in/ get em out mentality."

"Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant on Valentine's Day was extremely disappointing. It was our first time dining there and we were excited to take my wife out for a special evening. However, it turned out to be the worst dining experience we have ever had at a high-end restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter!). The service was poor, with one server being extremely rude and inconsiderate. It took over an hour for us to receive the first course of our Valentine's Day meal, and after two hours we decided to leave as the experience was not worth the wait. The owner tried to make amends by apologizing, but it was clear that the service was not up to par. Despite our concerns, the bill was reduced after we raised the issue. My wife later contacted the owner to express her disappointment, and he offered us a free meal if we were to return."

"the employees had not had my booking on their system, so we had to wait 15 minutes for a table. the service wasn't the best, I thought we ordered ourselves in the theke, as no one had approached us for our order, but we said someone would come to us to take our order. the food itself was very mediocre for the price they pay. small portions filled with a lot of salad. overall the venue was aesthetic, but the service, the eating and the whole mood of the restaurant was a break. very disappointed"

"When entering, we sat under tables full of family members who walk over each other so that I and my partner were unable to speak a lot as we could not hear. We then got a menu that was just a small selection of dishes and not where on the site said it would be a set dinner. Then we ordered our food that appeared forever and our drinks were forgotten. Our starters arrived after 20 minutes and they were small but beautiful. I ordered a steak and my partner ordered the fish, we got a bowl of veg and potatoes to share when it said that our meals did not come to share with potatoes and veg and then they charged us £162!!!!!! I couldn't believe it!! The food was nice, but the overall experience and the price was a massive decline for New Year's Eve."

"We booked a table on a Sunday evening for 3 people. The first waitress who served us was quite abrupt and didn’t like us asking if we could move tables. (Even though the restaurant was empty) The one she had put is on was extremely dark as the lights above were out. The restaurant is already dimly lit and this meant we would have been struggling to see anything at all. After this, they had pretty much run out of everything on the menu, which became pretty comical by the end. They even had no fruit for the sangria! However the other waiter, was so funny and entertaining (even under stressful circumstances) it was hard not to have a great evening! The food (that was available) was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A great night, we would go back, but I would find it hard to recommend on my experience"

"Came on Saturday night with a friend, the food was good (it has been better before) the service was a bit odd, it wasn't mega busy but all the waitresses seem extremely rushed off their feet and it took longer than necessary to get drinks. We ordered sparkling water and it came in the glass rather than bottle, and we were then charge £2.50 for it. We were sat near the door to the kitchen downstairs with the smell of smoke wafting up. The waitress walked into my chair at least 4 times as she was rushing past and the bathroom was dirty. For a small place the acoustics are very bad and its extremely loud in the back room. Will come back and try again as maybe we just went on an off day!"

"Difficult to fault Twist. Delicious food. Attentive service and advice (Davido), very knowledgeable regarding wine recommendations and the creation of the dishes and heritage of the ingredients. Always enjoyable to be upstairs and so close to the Chef's as they do their work. Small restaurant so really nice atmosphere."

"My friend and I shared 5 dishes between us and had a glass of wine each, the bill was £56 so is very reasonably priced overall. For me the prawns were far too expensive, £11 for four not very big prawns that were not very exciting is too much. The food was very average, the bread and anchovy butter was a waste of money. The bread was just a few bits of supermarket ciabatta with butter you could make better at home. The aubergine dish was nice, I would say the best thing we ordered. The service was below par, food was quick but there was no rapport with the waitress and she almost looked bored and annoyed to take our order. The place looks nice but is the worst tapas I have had in Manchester. I can’t say anything was horrible because it wasn’t, it was just so so average. I won’t be returning, which is a shame."

"Wow. We dined here on Monday 30th Oct 2023. Truly this is one of the very best restaurant experiences I have ever had. Please move your restaurant to Tadcaster! The other stuff: the atmosphere was lovely, calm, peaceful. The vibe from the staff was very friendly and helpful, but also standing well back giving customers the chance to enjoy the food. Perfect. The main event was of-course the food. The flavours!! The tenderness, just everything was absolutely gorgeous. A couple of nights earlier we went to an awful place in Shenfield. They had a 'Tapas ' menu, but nothing appealed, it was very noisy and one of the staff was shockingly rude......what a magnificent and stark contrast Las Tapas was! If you are looking to eat in the area, I 'd stick to Brentwood, whether you choose Las Tapas or not, it 's much better than Shenfield. Can I fault Las Tapas? No. It does cost, but the standard of the food easily justifies a few extra quid. I can 't wait to go there again. Ever since I 've been looking online trying to get recipes and directions to see if I can recreate some of that magic at home. It was the medallions and the flavours that went with it! I found one of the sauces, so I 'll have a go. Thank you, we 'll be back."

"Friendly staff and a vast menu with a great selection of nibbles and main meals. It is inexpensive and a great place to grab a bite to eat or a quick glass of wine. The staff are friendly and attentive and service was very quick! It’s part of the Fenwicks food court, which also has a number of deli’s with fresh food."

"we met the chef jai parkinson when he worked at wright brothers, so we were thrilled to experience his new venture at orange elephant. we have booked via open table for a Monday evening and so came a 50% discount offer on the exchange boards. we started with the burrata, which was beautifully presented and came with some perfectly roasted cherry tomatoes on the wine vine. we had also prepared the cortex croquettes perfectly with an intense fleshy taste. for a main thing, we shared the Tomahawk board. the 1.2 kg share was plentiful for both of us, as it also split with a small salate and two small portions of fries. a beautiful bottle malbec was the perfect companion. the board was beautifully presented and the steak perfectly cooked to our warm red preference. we like a steak with some texture so that the tomahawk was a good choice. beautiful chewing gum, perfect seaman and great taste. ricardo had looked after us all night very well and made us a delicious coffee to finish a really wonderful culinary experience. Thank you. jai ricardo"

"Me and my Friends we visited this place for the first time after choosing my wedding dresses “happy days” and I have to say that they did not disappoint us. Everything was spot on from the moment we entered till the moment we left...the restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, lovely stuff, great atmosphere, even the Manager on duty, Pier not sure if I remember correctly was checking on us and making sure everyone have the best time and everything what they need. Thank you to all Ember Yard staff for unforgettable time."

"four of us celebrated my brother on the 60th birthday of the law. we were very satisfied with the quality of the food. it was excellent. However, we chose the cooking menu. eating was served too fast, we had to serve the food more slowly. as the answer said the waitress that we had only 2 hours the table at 9.30 a.m. was our bill for the evening 440 £ for 4 of us. I really think that we should not have the feeling for this money that we were on a transport band. I would suggest that people do not choose the cook table menu if they only have 2 hours to eat it. the evening felt rushed overall I was disappointed."

"There was a bit of a mixup with our reservation where they sat us in the wrong room and then we had to move. Our server was nice, but seemed to be the only one working the whole dining area so it took a while to take our order, bring the food, and then get the check. It was a longer time than we were planning to spend for just a quick work lunch. However, I feel like the food was tasty and they place is very pretty. I think if they can get the staffing/serving kinks worked out, this would be a great place!"

"Their food may well be amazing but unfortunately I find their social media bullying simply unacceptable. To go from reading an innocent and obviously misinferred comment to launching into a tirade of abuse towards that person, saying that persons profile 'cracked me up ', and inferring that the whole restaurant is laughing at that person seems pretty low indeed! Wouldn 't a simple old fashioned sorry you missed us, here 's a link to our opening times and we look forward to welcoming you soon have sufficed? Their fish may be ethically sourced but their 'banter ' certainly isn 't."

"I ordered tortilla Espanola, berenjenas fritas, ensalada de esparragos, earl grey tea. In menu lots of spirits drinks and i did not find simple cup tea, but when ask, i got it. Ensalada de esparragos it is a mix of lettuce salad, fresh tomatoes, cocktail peppers, with toasted pine nuts and olive oil, decorative with 3 twig of asparagus. Interesting experience. Tasty. Thank you. Berengenas fritas it is a big pieces of aubergine fried in flour and topped agave syrup with sea salt. It is too fat, sweet and salted. Not tasty. Tortilla Espanola it's a 2 pieces of Spanish tortilla. It is look and taste like not fresh tortilla, quickly defrosted and heated on the frying pan, decorated fresh parsley. Not tasty. It is sad, this place have title La Tortilla, and serv awful tortilla. Earl grey tea were ok."

"Disappointing experience. Christmas lunch with two colleagues I work nearby and this restaurant had caught my attention for some time. Although ambiance was pleasant, there is better Spanish food in this city. Most disappointingly was, having a 2pm reservation we weren't informed that the kitchen closed at 2.30. When we attempted to order more tapas, we were informed the kitchen had shut. Neither the manager, nor the 2 waiters serving our table had warned us about this worse we were blamed for not having ordered on time! No apology or attempt to work something out. Left hungry and disappointed. Won't return."

"Rude staff, rushed service, very disappointing experience. Unfortunately I came here for my boyfriend’s birthday and was met with rude staff who rushed us out after 1 hour 30 mins, even though we waited a long time to be served. Wasked if we could swap to a nicer table but excuses were made as to why we couldn’t. We were so full and couldn’t eat a dessert so I asked if there was anything they could do for a birthday celebration a cocktail or something sweet that was small but they said no, we have to order a whole dessert. Wouldn’t come here if you want a special experience."
