The Lime Tree

This place is local to us, and we have been several times: there is little doubt that it survives on its past reputation. The food, while OK, is getting boring as the menu has not changed in a while and lacks originality. They also cram people in, so the atmosphere is not relaxed. We were seated right next to the door - in an area which had people walking past us on 3 sides, and it felt more like a canteen than a restaurant. The service level is mixed - some servers can't seem to be able to cope with a busy restaurant, and they all appeared harried. So, in summary, this place is not where we'd go back for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. They used to be OK but have gone downhill.

Spent a lovely evening with my family here. The food was excellent and drinks were a fair price. We had all three 'nibbles' as sharing starters which were very tasty and enough not to fill us up. All the mains were cooked to perfection and a reasonable choice. I was concerned about a 2 hour time slot but it was plenty if time and we did not feel rushed at all. The staff were attentive, pleasant and efficient. My last visit was 35 years ago when I started my nursing career at Withington. I will certainly be returning sooner than that! It was great to see the local bars and cafes thriving, the nearby tram stop was very handy.
