"We booked a table for 15 people at 2.30 in the afternoon and they were able to accommodate us easily. it was very good to find somewhere that could take a large group at one table. The staff were very nice and welcoming but the service suffered as the staffing level was minimal. The food was acceptable, nothing more. We were surprised that they had 'run out of ' sparkling water and Coca Cola... very odd. The view is absolutely super they have a large terrace overlooking Gun wharf, with lots of chairs as it was a lovely day, it was extremely attractive. However, it suffers from being the 'smoking area '. The room inside is pleasant, with high ceilings and very large windows. The 'muzak ' was a ghastly generic/covers track obviously cheap versions of hit songs but 'imitation ' singers quite horrid and too loud. My feeling is that it suffers from being a 'night place/bar ' that does not adapt to the day very well. All in all, disappointing."

"I went to the restaurant with my colleagues for some drinks and bar snacks, and we all had a great time. I ordered two glasses of the "Healthy Soul" non-alcoholic cocktail and really enjoyed it."

"Fantastic afternoon with friends, we opted for the bottomless brunch and it was lovely. You get to choose two courses and a choice of mimosas, **** Mary’s or plain prosecco. The waiters are super friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend."

"I went for pre show dinner and found it very convenient nearby the Lowry. There are roadworks just outside the hotel at present so it didn’t look great from the outside, but the interior is fresh and modern. Very comfortable dining and really lovely staff. The tapas was tasty and beautifully served. It made a nice change from the eateries close by to the theatre and was only a 12 minute walk along the canals- which was also very pleasant! I would go again."

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"

"This was our second trip to the Navigator, the previous having been about 10 months previous (our previous meal was disappointing but we wanted to give it another go). The service was good although it was a shame that we had not been put in the restaurant even though we had booked to eat. I thought the time it took for our drinks and food to arrive was a bit slow but I appreciate (at least for the drinks) that with COVID things are a bit more complicated. We all had starters and pizza mains. The starters were OK, nothing amazing but nothing to complain about. I thought the pizzas however were disappointing. The base was good and they were cooked well but it was completely let down by the fact that the tomato on the pizza was more like tomato paste rather than a nice pizza base sauce. Unfortunately this ruined the pizza but this should be a really easy fix. Unfortunately with the slow arrival of food etc and the governments 10pm restriction we did not have time to finish our food comfortably and we ended up having to put it in a box to take away. Unfortunately I will not be rushing back as although it is a closest pub to where we live I think I will walk the extra 5 mins to other pubs for better food."

"Vegan food wasn’t without milk so couldn’t have the vegan meal If it is advertised as vegan, it should be vegan not then altered so that two components don’t go together. Sat totally separated from everyone else, waiter refused to move us despite there being lots of room. We were only a table of 2 and sat in our own, cut off section. Our friends invited us to join their long table, this was refused. No vegan puddings. One waiter was very helpful with my dietary requirements. Food arrived but chips were swiftly removed as apparently they weren’t for me and new ones arrived some time later. Overall, a really disappointing meal."

"You pay for the name and location here. Decor really isn’t that impressive and the service was really condescending and poor, very comical outlook considering who was sat at his table. Regardless, pre dinner nibbles came out after starters and there were many starter dishes missing. The majority of the starters were unimpressive, although must be said, the steak tartare was very very good. On to mains. Most of the table, mostly happy, couple complained about blandness. I ordered a wagyu steak, which was very well cooked, but slightly disappointing that the waiter decided to point out the price of the steak two or three times, as if I should reconsider the £100 steak, in case I couldn’t afford it. We paid the included service charge which was £110 on the £750 bill , however retrospectively, service wasn’t worth the price. I paid the bill as a treat to my table, waiter ignore all my guests and only said thank you to me and shook my hand come on!!!!! The food was good but the service experience and customer service really should be thought about."

"I really enjoyed the food and the variety of choices offered at this restaurant. However, some of my pickier companions couldn't find anything that appealed to them. The service was friendly and the restaurant was bustling with activity. Some patrons seemed to be more focused on alcohol consumption, which added to the noise level at times. Overall, we were pleased with the food quality, portion sizes, and the attentive service from the staff."

"I enjoyed the food and variety at this restaurant. However, some of my pickier family members struggled to find appetizers they liked. The service was welcoming, and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere. Some customers seemed to be a bit rowdy due to alcohol consumption, causing some noise disturbances. Despite this, we were satisfied with both the delicious food and the attentive service provided by the staff."

"Upon our arrival, the restaurant was still in the process of being cleaned. The bar service was lacking, as they could only offer a bottle of Prosecco instead of a glass. The food was decent, but nothing exceptional. Overall, the experience was underwhelming and we would not choose to dine at this restaurant again."

"I booked Sunday lunch for my husband's birthday and asked for a table for 4 adults, 1 child and a high chair for a toddler. When we arrived, not only was the table not ready, it hadn't even been wiped clean and yet, we were the first customers to arrive at 12.15pm. Did that mean nothing had been done since breakfast time? The waitress had to go and look for the high chair we'd asked for in advance. Worse was to come. Nobody approached us for a drinks order and the waitress only gave one of our party a proper food menu, everyone else got drink and snack menus only. There was hardly anything on the menu anyway and certainly no Sunday roast, the one thing we'd been hoping for on a Sunday... The waitress had to ask us to repeat several parts of our order because there was a conference party arriving in reception that were quite noisy. The layout of the restaurant is open plan straight onto Reception quite strange really and not at all conducive to a quiet family meal. Then, we were told that the fish platter two of us ordered was no longer available.... although it was only 12.30pm and we were the first people there, so how come there was none left? If the fish ran out on the Saturday, surely it should have been taken off the menu? I was really annoyed because the lack of care and attention, the noise levels and the lack of anything decent on the menu spoiled my husband's birthday, so I decided to vote with my feet and told the waitress that none of this was good enough. This was meant to be a birthday lunch, nothing was ready, nothing we wanted to eat was available, so we were leaving. She looked shocked, but didn't even have the grace to apologise on behalf of the venue. We drove a mile down the road to a much more welcoming venue called The Swan and had a beautiful lunch there with friendly, welcoming staff...and it was much cheaper than the significantly overpriced dishes we saw on the menu!"

"I was extremely impressed by this restaurant on a Saturday evening when I ordered delivery. The food arrived in about 30 minutes and was of very high quality. It was like getting restaurant-quality food right at my doorstep. It's wonderful to see a business that sets a high standard, hopefully setting an example for other fast food places on how delicious quality food can taste."

"The food was enjoyable, but the selection was quite limited. There were only two options for kids, which weren't great, and the choices for adults felt very random and didn't really complement each other well."

"It is all to easy to respond to feedback requests by giving 5 stars. In this case however there was no exaggeration. For the Tuesday steak night my wife had sirloin and I had rib-eye steak. Mine was the best I have had for many a year. Service was welcoming and attentive. The evident concern was that we should enjoy ourselves. This target was well met. Then came the dessert. Wow ... chocolate fondant. A real pleasure. Thank you all for making our short stay just what we wanted. We definitely plan to revisit in the not to distant future."

"This is our third visit in eight weeks. Lovely venue, lovely food but………they need to address the following: Slow it all down!! You are rushed from start to finish with barely a pause between courses! TRAIN the waiting staff!! Omg they are SO bad! No attention to you and your needs, just rush rush rush! Various drink orders didn’t arrive, mustard didn’t arrive, coffee didn’t arrive, chair leg continually kicked by waiting staff as they RUSHED by!! At one point I had to go onto the kitchen to get my course myself!!!! Third visit but won’t be back!! Shame as raining the staff is such a simple thing to fix. Food lovely."

"We had to wait for over an hour for our reserved table, which was not ideal as my elderly parents in their mid-eighties had nowhere to sit. The appetizers were enjoyable, but my main dish was lacking in flavor. After waiting for over 40 minutes for the dessert menu, we decided to leave. Even the jug of water took 30 minutes to arrive. We ended up paying the bill at the entrance where there was a line of people waiting for their reserved tables. The management needs to improve staff training and ensure they have enough employees."
