Excellent food. Good value 3 course meal for £20 on their midweek special. Nice relaxed modern environment along with friendly and helpful staff. Party of 5 and all enjoyed their meals
The whole meal was delicious. I had the cream of parsnip soup to start and my partner had mushrooms. I followed the soup with rib-eye steak which was tender and well cooked. My strawberry mess dessert looked a picture. Altogether an excellent evening. Good service and the wine was excellent
Great service. Nice atmosphere. Modern and clean decor. Well thought out Interesting twist on classic food. Executed well - hot and flavoursome. Perfect portion size. Good value for money with 2/3 course offers. Well recommended.
Outstanding food and service, quality food at a reasonable price, excellent wine. Great mix of French and English cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients. Superb!
Fabulous restaurant great food and service Would highly recommend for small groups Menu offered a good choice for varied requirements Definitely be booking again soon
Visited the Flixton Bisyro on a Friday night. Had the burger which was the best one I've had in a very long time! Lovely place, great service, will definitely be returning!
Excellent food and efficient pleasant service. Will happily go back there and recommend to others. The Wine was very good. Didn't have a sweet but they looked delicious.
We had a wonderful evening at The Flixton. It was our first time at the place. The space and decor was beautiful with facilities for disabled diners. The food was top notch and excellent selection on the wine list. Staff were fabulous, too.
Food was absolutely amazing, everyone in the party had a beautiful meal. The restaurant was very quiet but staff did spend a lot of time in the back, so had to be called when needed. We also loved the playlist of music, it created a lovely atmosphere
The food was excellent. The staff were particularly helpful, especially when we had a problem with one of the meals. No fuss, just sorted in a professional manner. We will definitely return.
This was our first time visit and food was very good. Very good menu choices and good size portions with very quick and responsive service.
Food was cooked and presented well, however our steak was very salty and had a grill cleaner smell! Although the waitress passed on this feedback to the chef we felt that the customer service recovery could of been better? Unfortunately this has now put us off going again.
My partner had said he would like to go to a fish restaurant so I googled restaurants in Urmston & found the menu @ The Flixton interesting so off we went I had the sea bass & my partner had the cod, well how delicious both dishes were, piping hot & so tasty, the service was excellent so I will definitely be going back.
The food was excellent, well presented and delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Just about the only thing which disappointed me (slightly) was the rather limited wine list. What we had was fine, and not expensive, but I'd have preferred a wider choice. Hopefully, if this restaurant gets the success and clientele it deserves, this can change.
My starter was not cooked fully, my daughter starter was missing some cheese. My pork chop was a little gamey and the service was slow. Lamb very raw. Disappointed as we went last year and it was lovely. We wont be going back, this was a treat for out silver wedding anniversary and it was not good.
Fantastic food and great value for money with midweek offer. The best standard of food I have eaten in Urmston. Highly recommend this little gem
Absolutely amazing food, beautiful restaurant, lovely staff. They have some great early week & Sunday offers too so really good value for such high quality. Would highly recommend.
Another great meal at the Flixton for my dads 65th birthday! We have visited several times & highly recommend, delicious food & great wine list!
Lovely food. Really enjoyed ourselves. Good service and place is done up lovely. Good selection of vegetarian food which was nice to see. Would definitely recommend.
The choice on the menue was really varied Presentation was lovely quality of ingredients was really good Staff friendly and helpful without being over fussy really enjoyable evening
Brilliant restaurant with really good food and service. Definitely recommend to anyone. The mid week set menu is a very good deal too and well worth taking up.
The food was tasty but the service wasn't great last Saturday evening. The waitresses were friendly and apologetic but it seemed to be a series of things that needed apologising for; waiting an extended period of time after being seated for menus, wine being spilt and not cleared from around wine glass, the door of the restaurant not closing properly! It's a shame I don't understand why when they steve such good quality food they let themselves down with crass marker pen offers scrawled all over the front window and curly stained paper menus. Just needs a bit more attention to detail to the environment and service to match the quality of the food.
Excellent quality food and service. Perfect meal. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended. Have had excellent lunch, dinner and Sunday Roast here. Great value for money menus
We had eaten there once before and it was really busy and the food was excellent. This time there were only a couple of other tables so less of an atmosphere. We were out with parents and in laws and one of the starters was missed and didn't arrive until everyone else was finished. Also, there was an issue with one of the fish dishes not tasting too fresh. Everyone else enjoyed their meals although sadly not as great as the first time we went.
Great food, great friendly, attentive service plus good background music. Will definitely be going back! . . . . . . . . . .
We went as a family and it was quite empty.The staff said that they hadn't realised it was a Bank Holiday.We had pre ordered food and we all found it very good.I'd go again and would rercommend it to others.
Very nice restaurant,food fantastic, been twice now, and really enjoyed both times, service really good, the young men and women can't do enough for you!😃Going back soon
We were really impressed by the food and service. A refreshing addition to the choices for eating out in Urmston. Beautifully presented and delicious food. Good value for money
A fantastic meal, good atmosphere & service, delicious food & generous portions, we'll definitely come back again soon! Glad that I no longer have to trek into the city centre for a quality meal!
Nice ambiance and great service, staff very attentive. It half full on a mid-week night because of the January offer. Overall the food was mixed, for starters we had the bon bons which was tasty and big portion, also the thai chicken cakes, which was small and fairly tasteless. For mains this carried on, the ling, large and flavoursome, but the pork chop was small, expensive and flavours did not work well, my partner said the black pudding was just grit on the plate. We didn't have dessert. Overall I feel this restaurant is extremely expensive, even with the offers, for example a similar style family run restaurant in Didsbury offer mid-week offers for £15 for 2 courses with minimal supplements, however here it is £19 with a lot of £3/£5 supplmements, and personally I feel not as good quality. As a local I am happy these restaurants are now in the area and want the place to do well, and think with a few tweaks it will be perfect!
Atmosphere was excellent. Food was very good and presented well, the plates and food was nicely hot keeping the food at its best. The staff were pleasant and efficient at all times.
Four of us enjoyed a 3 course meal for my husband's birthday. Every dish was beautifully presented and was delicious. We were alerted as we arrived to the lack of waiting staff, and since the restaurant was busy, we realised that the the one chap running the front of house had a real challenge on his hands. However, he managed brilliantly, calmly, and definitely contributed to the good vibe. We took full advantage of the 50% off deal running throughout January, but we all agreed that we would return at regular price, too. Thank you 'The Flixton' for a thoroughly enjoyable celebratory night.
This was the latest of many visits to the Flixton, and as always it was an excellent meal. Our friends were visiting for the first time and were equally impressed. The pies in particular are superb, and the whole meal was well cooked, well presented and tasty. Full marks too to the friendly and helpful staff Thank you!
Very good overall. Side dish of onions undercooked, practically raw when served to us. However, overall the rest of the meal was beautiful, just a shame about the side dish.
First time me and my husband have visited the flixton and it won't be the last, service was great and the flat iron steak was the best I've ever had. Looking forward to eating there again. Highly recommend
Visited with niece and nephew for a New Year catch up. New menu now in place which was very enjoyable. Only negative comments were that the apple and cobnut crumble dessert was a cold dish and we expected it to be warm and the coffee latte was lukewarm. The 50% off food offer on the al a carte menu is very enticing especially given the excellent quality and presentation of the food and I hope many more people make the most of this offer. A very enjoyable evening
Excellent food, excellent service, and a very good January discount too! All in all a superb little restaurant. We particularly enjoyed the sweetmeat appetiser, the potted shrimp, and the exquisite deserts...
The food was delicious and the portions were huge! We would definitely return when the Christmas menu is no longer being served as the choice will probably be wider.
The best place to eat in urmston the food is delicious we went new years eve and had a fantastc night i would highly recomend you to try it i guarantee you will not be disapointed
Food was amazing,just a shame there was nobody else in the restaurant during our visit so there was not much atmosphere.overall a very good experience andto be recommended.
Fabulous food & service Steak was cooked to perfection Every plate was empty The young lady serving was friendly and attentive. We will be back soon
Food and atmosphere was lovely, only drawback was having to ask for our change after paying for our bill, don't think she would have bought it to us if we hadn't asked. would have been a 6 otherwise
Food was fantastic, would definitely recommend a visit. I absolutely loved the chocolate tart and my wife was very happy with her pork belly and black pudding Bon bons. We will be going again.
Really friendly staff and the food was exceptional, - lovely treat as it is expensive but worth it. 2nd time we've been and both times have been lovely. Def recommend th Sunday lunch, and rump steak xx
Fantastic food and friendly staff. We had a great evening! We liked the ambience of the restaurant and the way the dishes showed creativity with great twists on conventional constructions
Visited The Flixton for my wife's birthday excellent food good value and excellent service. Although not busy as you would expect on a Tuesday evening will definitely visit again on a weekend to compare.
Great food, good service and excellent atmosphere. I'd throughly recommend the Flixton. Starters and the sweets were Devine. Main courses were pretty good as well!
An unexpected treat. Walking in the signage was a little dated, despite being new and the decor was ok. However the food was very good particularly the pork stroganoff. Pork is a hard one to get right and this was lovely. The soup was simple but delicious and nice in texture.
Service very good (although on a busy Sunday could perhaps have done with an additional waiter), food was lovely and dessert was a particular highlight. Would recommend and will return.
First time great food. Fish cakes amazing looked just like Master chef . Steak expensive but worth it very high quality chips great dipped in the sauce. Cheesecake a let down disassembled style very little crunch but that could just me.
