I had Chicken Satay for starters and Pad Thai for main, it was really good quality and value for £££. New Manilla used to be first choice but that seems more suitable for quick eats before the cinema. Thai Thai will give you a much more settled evening and you'll enjoy the food until you feel like your pants are too tight. Recommended

Alessandro's has a wonderful homely feel to it and dishes are almost rustic - which is great when you're away from home and in need of some good comfort food. On my last visit, I had the spaghetti with prawns and asparagus in a tomato and cream based sauce - all ingredients complemented each other well, although a little heavy for me. Service was impeccable especially as we were a rather large (8+) group. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of other guests present given it was a Wednesday night. All in all, Alessandro's is a great place for a quick and fillig Italian meal, with a buzz.

Had salt and pepper spare ribs as a starter from the Chinese side of the menu and it was nice. Good sized portion and the ribs were not deep fried. My main was chicken pad thai. It did not look that great but was very tasty. What I would expect a Thai person cooks for themselves. Also, huge portion. Overall, nice meal and I plan to go back.

Not far from the hustle and bustle of the big tourist attractions, the Laxey Wheel and the Snaefell…read moreMountain Railway, you can find this small and cosy Tearoom down at the Laxey River. It is not a very big place, just one room with a few tables and 3 small tables outside on a small walkway. The centerpiece is the big counter where you can see all the great cakes and breads they make here. Apart from tea and cake you can also have several savoury lunch options. We went to this place twice during our stay on the Isle of Man and both times we had delicous tea with a gorgeous piece of cake. Everything here is homemade and you can taste it. The staff is really friendly and does everything to make you feel right at home and even has time for a little chat about the place and the food they prepare here. I can really recommend this little tea room for lunch or a very relaxed afternoon tea after you have walked around Snaefell to warm you up again. Great place with great staff - go try it!

Always looking for new restaurants on the island so was anxious to try Tuscany. I was not…read moredisappointed, definitely something the island needed. While we have some very good Italian restaurants, Tuscany is different. First, it does the little things right, probably the most professional restaurant on the island. A few examples -- tables are booked to optimize flow, the server and kitchen don't get overwhelmed and you are not left sitting 30+ minutes -- the complimentary glass of Prosecco when you arrive puts the evening in the right mood (be nice if they offered a non-alcoholic option) -- the toilets have nice soaps and hand lotions as well as real wash clothes rather than paper towels -- the server does a great job of describing the specials While the above might sound minor, and would be the cost of doing business in London or Rome, it creates an atmosphere that makes the dining experience so pleasant. The food also lives up to the ambiance. Queenies (Manx scallops) appetizer comes in a nice Chardonnay sauce. My main was a pork shank special. It was quite large and had a nice, complex flavor with lots of fresh herbs. Only recommendation would be some crisper skin/crackling. Tiramisu was the perfect finale. Overall highly recommended.

Salad was fresh and delicious. I had the catch of the day - sea bass with scallops and prawns which was delicious. My husband had the pasta and said it was amazing. Very warm and cosy atmosphere. I forgot a bag there and Danny kept it safe and allowed me to pick it up before the restaurant officially opened the next day. Highly recommend.

Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. We didn't have one, so we were told by the hostess…read morethat we'd get the less desirable seats in the house. We were put in the very rear by the back door, which, when opened, occasionally required us to get up from our seats to let someone in. My pasta was great, the garlic soup was AMAZING (I've never heard of a creamy garlic soup with pesto drizzle before but now I pretty much wake up dreaming about it), and my boyfriend loved his personal pizza. The lattes we got for desert were too huge and watery. Had difficulty finishing them, and they weren't very good. The only thing that has room for improvement, though. The customer service was great (a well-spoken foreign exchange high school student was our waitress), and Leonardo himself initially took our order and stayed a while by our table, talking boisterously and cracking jokes. He was an amusing character. We wanted to come back once more, but time did not permit us to.

I found it a little sweet but it did all the basic well and is probably the best onion soup on the island. My main was a special of the day and definitely the highlight, dover sole grilled in butter and garlic. They had offered to prepare it however I liked but the waitress suggested it in this manner and I loved it. The fish was very tasty and the butter and garlic were great. Had creamed spinach with it that was also very good. For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse. Nice strong flavour and relatively light dessert after three courses. They also had a good, reasonably priced wine list. Finally, found the service quite friendly and French without the bad parts of French.

I have wanted to go here for a while as have heard very good things. I am pleased to say that the…read morefood was very good and it was very reasonable as well. The french onion soup was excellent. Think about it. It's the 27th of June, i.e. mid summer and in a packed restaurant everyone is eating piping hot soup even as sweat beads are building up on their foreheads. The right amount of cheese to soup ratio. Cheese and onion perfection. We also shared some garlic snails and they were good. I only wish there were more of them! For the main we had the chateaubriand (the tenderloin fillet) and it was good. It was originally served rare when we ordered medium rare but this was quickly corrected. The staff were very attentive and service was good. The chateaubriand came with sides of mushrooms, fires or potatoes, veg and onion rings. We decided to instead order sides from the menu and got creamed spinach ( very good and you should order this! my wife raved about this.) fries ( crispy and salty as they should be) tomato salad ( It was ok but nothing to rave about) mushrooms ( again, ok but not something to go crazy about) and baby potatoes. (surprisingly they didn't charge us extra for changing our sides. Very impressed with this as I expected and was prepared to pay for this.) We wanted to have dessert however I was too stuffed! I will come back again for the soup and to try the creme brûlée. The wine list was also very good. We had the pinot noir and it was nice and generally we felt that the wine was priced very reasonably. Downside is the layout of the restaurant. Its very tight and you should try to get a window if you can ( i asked for this with the reservation but did't get this even though I was promised it.) My wife could barely avoid the guys ass next to us when she stood up! Thank goodness he wasn't one of those silent farters you get on airplanes! The tables are also too low and not wide enough. If you are above 4 foot in height and more than 150 lbs then you need to be aware that this restaurant is not built for seating comfort. Still, will I be back? You bet I will. The food is a 5. Good atmosphere and staff. Just a shame about the seating / table and it being too tightly packed. I will be back for the creme brûlée. It is calling me!
