WOOD Manchester First Street, Manchester M15 4RA

"Incredible chef's table experience, enjoying a journey through their tasting menu. Simon and his team couldn't be more welcoming into their wonderful restaurant. Our journey through the tasting menu was accompanied with wine pairings chosen by their very knowledgeable sommelier, yes there were some interesting curve balls but it all worked for me. We were talked through the dishes by Simon and his team making it a very memorable experience indeed. We've been lucky enough to experience a few chef's tables and this was the most personal one by far, thank you! I definitely recommend this restaurant for a special experience."

"What can I say? Incredible doesn't quite cover it. My niece and I went yesterday as a treat for her 30th birthday. We were greeted with a smile, the door opened for us, and promptly taken up to homage on the mezzanine level above the glorious and very impressive restaurant. We were seated in the most exquisite room, and both felt very special indeed. Our jackets were taken and hung, the menu's described to us. We each ordered a cocktail to start, and these were delicious . Amy had the special cocktail of the day which was aptly called lovely lady ( very fitting for my niece) and I really wanted something with an almond flavour, so one was created for me, very impressive. We then ordered our cheeses, 3 to start, and we paired these with wine. We followed this with even more of the extensive cheese selection. Again paired with wine. Each cheese has a chutney alongside it to pair with the flavour of the cheese. Some little bread roll, and some biscuits that basically melted in your mouth. I even had a dessert which was incredible, unfortunately I cannot remember the name of this, but it was a little like a creme brulle, with tonka bean flavour ( similar to vanilla) it had the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The room we were in was absolute luxury. There was relaxing background music, candlelight everywhere, very comfortable chairs, an extremely intimate feeling to it. We literally had the room to ourselves which made it feel even more special. The bathroom is situated on the same floor which is great. Last but by no means least , Michael was our incredible host, very knowledgeable about every wine and cheese, extremely professional, attentive and I would say an absolute asset to Wood. Thank you Michael for making our visit so memorable and special. I would highly recommend homage at Wood. You will not be disappointed."

"Wood Manchester is another level of dining experience in Manchester that makes it very hard to review or rate. The food the setting the wine and wine pairing the service and the proud staff with their most comfortable service. Wouldn't say any more"

"Wow wow and just for good measure Wow Cold and miserable wet night in Manchester. Greeted by polite smiling staff who seated us promptly and attended to the first drinks of the night. Hacienda gin for me Fabulous... When we reached our table we were looked after by numerous members of staff who smiled knew their trade and kept us informed about the menu and the Wines. Overall each taster dish was better and better a true masterclass, and the staff were the stars well done Mr Wood a great night and a great venue with no detail to small overlooked..."

"Wonderful food and service. The staff were lovely. We couldn't finish all the courses but the ones we had were delicious. Would highly recommend"
