"I have been meaning to post this review for weeks but kept forgetting and remembered because I've booked to go to the restaurant tonight! We ordered a takeaway from Linguine a few weeks ago and we eat kind of later in the evening. It was through Deliveroo. The restaurant called me and said that they were closing because they were quiet and had called off the drivers. So instead of just cancelling our order, they cooked it still and delivered it to us personally on their way home!! Now that is looking after your local customers! So I will absolutely support them buy being a loyal customer too. The food was fresh, deliciously tasty and hot. Above and beyond for sure. Thank you Linguine and see you tonight at 8pm for 2! (I can taste it already ; Melanie"

"I booked this place mostly based on the existing reviews and photos. This was my first visit here and everything from booking to the meal itself was perfect. I'd read some mixed information about it being dog-friendly, so when I booked through Opentable, I enquired and they replied right away confirming it was dog friendly, and they made sure I got booked onto a dog-friendly table at the front. Even though our table was next to the front door, there's a heavy glass passageway that we were pleasantly surprised to learn blocks any breeze from people opening and closing the door. All the staff we had contact with were impeccable, our waitress was lovely and attentive without being overbearing, literally perfect. For starters we had the Lamb Croquettes and Fish Cakes, both were a decent portion, plated beautifully and the lamb was wonderful. For mains I had the beef Wellington and my partner had a special of steak and eggs with chips. The steak was cooked mid-rare as asked, and had a lovely smoky char. My beef wellington contained the most soft, succulent beef I think I've ever had, and again was plated very artistically. The carrot puree was incredibly smooth. Unfortunately, I completely over-faced myself by ordering whilst hungry, and didn't get to finish my truffle and parmesan fries, but they were nice. I had a couple of French martinis and my partner tried a Delamere forest cocktail. We then forced a couple of desserts into us, I had some ice cream and my partner had a sticky toffee. I want to go back as soon as possible to try more menu items, honestly the best food experience I've had in a long time. Please give yourselves a pat on the back for your brilliant hospitality!"

"Visited here a couple of times before and have ordered a takeaway Afternoon Tea (which was lush). But on Sat we had been to Media City and just got off the tram on a hot, muggy day. The icecream van at Media City had gone.. sad kids! We were about to walk home via the canal when we saw the Mr Whippy sign in Us Four. So we walked in the kids were overjoyed at not only the Mr Whippy icecream (the best they said) but the selection of cones toppings!!!! So happy children! And when you have happy children you always get happy parents so we decided to have a chill a lovely beer too. I can't thank tne two staff enough (Connor Michaela). You were both totally engaging to our children. You went anove beyond! You put on whatever music we wanted, so we ended up having our own little family disco. We enjoyed it so much we stayed for another drink the kids had another dessert! It was honestly the perfect end to a fantastic day out. To the owners........ I honestly can't thank Connor Micheala enough for the hospitality, engaging with our children and just being really nice people to get to know. The vibe was spot on, the beers were ice cold, the kids loved their desserts and the music was just great! Plus the decor is v cool totally up our street!!! Thankyou UsFour!"

"Oh my goodness!! What an amazing place. First time and certainly won’t be the last. The staff are so friendly and professional. Service exceeded expectations. The food, well…Delicious. In truth, wasn’t expecting too much as we had booked to go before going into Manchester to a theatre, so we were in the Early Bird hours, 2 courses £11.50!! Come on, you can only get take away fish and chips nowadays for £11.50…The starters were amazing, we had a soup of the day, garlic mushrooms and a calamari frita, all good portion sizes and all delicious. For mains we had lasagne and the pork loin. Huge portions, I have never tasted pork so succulent, smothered in mushroom and garlic cream sauce, divine!! Thank you Linguine, we will definitely be back. 5"

"Compared to the Manchester City centre San Carlo (which we had visited for lunch a fortnight earlier), this restaurant exploits a captive audience in the attached Airport Marriott hotel and the local area. The staff simply do not have to compete so hard for your business and, sadly, this is reflected in the less than perfect levels of service and attentiveness. Don't get me wrong, this is still a good place for good and drink, but.... Try the Manchester City centre San Carlo to see just how good this chain can be. We shall use this airport restaurant again because of its convenience and easy access from the Marriott. May 2022."
