Best Global Restaurants in Manchester

Wow! What an amazing night at Earls. The service was perfect -all the staff is so fun and attentive. The food came out perfectly.

If you've never been, you are totally missing out! I absolutely love the food, decor, staff, and drinks. The ingredients are authentic and fresh. I've never been disappointed. The staff is so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend making a reservation; also request a table in the bar area or dining room. Both are great!

We had a delicious dinner at Ama with a wonderful server. All the dishes were wonderful but we want to particularly call out the Tamarind Trout - it is amazing,

This is our 4th time eating at The Vig! The food is Excellent! The atmosphere is upbeat and upscale, and the staff are all equally attentive, professional, helpful and friendly. We have enjoyed both dinner and brunch, and the selection is outstanding! We are so impressed with this restaurant and are extremely happy to welcome this elevated and delicious restaurant to the suburbs. We would expect this in Boston, and welcome this GEM to Woburn!

So this seems like a really good concept that perhaps hasn’t quite decided what it wants to be bIs this a laid back lounge or a loud club? The positives: great music, the food is limited but very good, ambience is swanky and interesting inside, the speakeasy concept…asking for a password, secret entrance, all that’s fun. The drinks are also very good by the way. What wasn’t quite as good was the volume at which music was played tonight. There was a band with the lead singer from Colombia, who had a very nice voice and a lot of energy, but you couldn’t actually hear her vs the sound system. I have a Decibel Meter on my iPhone and I measured that they were consistently playing for about the first hour we were there at 92 to 95 dB which is incredibly loud and hard on your ears. That is earplug level to the point where you it’s hard to talk to the person next to you and virtually impossible to the person across from you. It does not help that The floor is stone and there’s a lot of bright reflected surfaces so it just became a bit harsh at those volume levels. Maybe add some carpets and some sound absorptive wall treatments if it’s a music venue? The band tonight was great by the way and they took a request or two and were super fun and interactive with the tables. After their second set, I mentioned it to her and they toned it down volumes in the high 70s to low 80 decibels and suddenly you could hear yourself talking in there. If it was a lounge and kind of chill and laid-back, could hear glasses clinking, then would be more with the speakeasy theme we felt. Overall, it’s nice to have a music venue at Alewife with good food. We’d come back for sure to have good music played a bit less loudly than it was tonight in this small and intimate venue. One important note: prior reviews have mentioned a $20 cover charge per person. This was not charged to us tonight. The final bill came to $87.50 a person which was not unreasonable for what we eat and drank.
