EastzEast (Princess St)

have eaten at EastzEast on a number of occasions but not for about a year until friday night. My past experience had been good but on Friday we were rushed through our meal and it was made very clear by our treatment that they didn't want us to hang around. The bill was brought while we were still finishing our food and we were told that our table had been booked for other guests who were due in 2 mins. We had actually booked our table a few days before hand and had wanted a nice relaxing dining experience. It was not found at Eastzeast. They have sadly forgotten that the customer is the most important asset to their business and seem too keen on getting as many people through their doors as possible at the expense of the customers who are there. Not good enough and very disappointing.

EastzEast is the restaurant for you...! great food, service and the atmosphere is quite the deal. When your dining out you would expect the restaurant to have the package , and this does and much more. Tops akbars of the top.

EastZEast's Ibis restaurant has won the Manchester Food & Drink Festival's Restaurant of the Year two years running. Based on the quality of the food, that's understandable.

If you want a meal on a Saturday night where your welcome is warm, your service isn't rushed and you aren't asked to leave before you've had chance to finish your drinks, even though you've just spent almost £100 on a meal, I'd give it a miss.

From the moment we stepped through the door, we were made to feel as though we were an inconvenience. Two of our party had been slightly delayed, and the woman managing the tables gave the impression that we would lose our booking if they didn't turn up within five minutes.

Once we were seated, the waiters were very attentive and keen to take our orders. At first we thought that this was because they wanted to make sure we weren't left waiting. We later realised, though, that it was because they needed to turn tables around as quickly as possible.

The food was outstanding, and for this reason the restaurant deserves its recent awards. The portions were well sized, being just the right side of too much, and perfectly seasoned. The variety on the menu was also good. There were three vegetarians in our party, and we had an embarrassment of choice.

After we had paid, however, the manager of the tables came over to us and said, "You can see that we are very busy, so as a favour to my staff, you can either drink up now or you can take your drinks to the sofas and finish them there." She then paused before finishing with, "I'm asking you nicely to leave."

Not only is this exceptionally rude, it almost completely negated the pleasure we had had from eating the food.

I would certainly think twice about eating there again. No matter how good the food is, I don't expect to be treated so rudely by the staff in a restaurant.

eastzeast is number one in the city.

not overpriced,fab food,miles better than akbars.

At least you can sit down with a group of friends and chat,unlike akbars,where you can not hear a blinkin thing with the loud noise blasting out,not a chilled out place at all.
