Amarant - Lodz

A very very nice surprise, the menu card is a mixture of West & Central European fusion, the food is served in the right quantity and as per the taste, well, we are up with the best;
I do congratulate the Chef and his kitchen for a wonderful job, this also includes the presentation.
The service is slightly slow and left to desire but it is also friendly and warm.
Prices wise I would say the menu card is very good, there is value for what you get, and as per the special daily lunches they are totally worth it.
The ambience is good and warm, one does feel comfortable and at ease at and this is also  a extra positive note.
I do recommend it both for business lunch as for a pleasurable outing.
I hope they keep the standard up, it is worth it (just improve the service and you will be a serious competitor to other well known restaurants)

Bravo, nice to know you are there - will be back soon.

3 Japanese Restaurant Reviews Lodz

Ato Sushi

What can I say more then I already said in the past, aside the fact that the food is extremely well prepared across the board and that everything I have taken up to date is absolutely wonderful I should also congratulate the Head Chef for preparing some astonishing surprise sushi/sashimi plates. As per the service is still good even when under stress, one may think that all is honky dory with my review....and yes it is one of my top 5 Restaurant in Lodz, ...BUT there is a BUT...sadly they have just made me mad once..hehehehe ...it happens also at Ato Sushi, they sold out my preferred Sake - a bottle that I did ask to keep for me at least 10 time and they promised and confirmed to do so, but, as we know there is always a but, when I asked for my bottle guess what..it was not there and gone...yes one little black spot (one needs to find something - if not what one should say at the end).

My review is simple:  a upgrade for the food to the maximum level, as per the service and atmosphere unchanged (don't forget my bottle next time :-) ) ; and a extra start for food/price/quality

Keep the good work, it is always a pleasure coming back to you.





Tokyo Sushi
Well, what can I say, still a good casual Sushi Bar, with a friendly atmosphere.
So if you feel like having a relaxed and casual drink and dinner around a Sushi bar table I still would recommend Tokyo Sushi, it is the place to go, the pricing is more then fair and the food and service are good.

Unchanged

For a relaxed and casual evening.


Geisha Sushi 
The Restaurant just does Sushi and Sashimi plates, they do them well but the service is quite poor - I am sorry to say this- it is almost if you are disturbing them - maybe it was a bad day, maybe I was just tired, but this was the impression we all had. So I will  grade the Restaurant with reservation and will go again just to make sure of my feelings on their service and food. 
One think is for sure, they are slightly overpriced for what they deliver, and just this should make you think twice before going there.

Not on my top list




Downgraded restaurant reviews:


Hot Spoon at Manufaktura - Downgraded across the board-
Frankly speaking the great initial  idea and taste has slowly faded away to my disappointment; what could have become a great Thai restaurant has now become the usual "here we go, bland taste all across" and I say this with sadness as in the beginning the promises where high and the quality was up there. Yes disappointed and sad, I do sincerely hope they get their act back together and deliver the food they served at the beginning with its explosion of different tastes bringing a absolute pleasure to the palate.

out of six stars

Down one star across:

The Restaurant has lost is sensual food touch,  lets hope they find it again. 

Bella Napoli at Manufaktura - Down graded

Been there few times, just to make sure I was not having one of those bad days that do happens, I still do have mixed feelings about this Restaurant.
Food wise, the main criticism has to be directed at the meet dishes, all the sauce I did try where bland and the steak not once was cooked as I wished or as the person that was with me requested.
As per the pasta dishes they where as I would expect from a Italian Restaurant with a Italian Chef. Their forte are the Fish dishes and frankly, I do now think, they should concentrate on that, unless they can get their act together on the meat side.
Service wise we still have it slow and slightly disorganized, but friendly. 
Yes the restaurant is benefiting being at Manufaktura, people just go in if they want a Italian meal,   even if I sound harsh I would raccomend the Kitchen team to get their act back together, because you can really do great thinks, but it seems at present that you are in a self content mode and this is quite sad.
the price do not match most of the Menu and I still considered slightly overpriced for what it delivers.

Down one star
Food: ***
Service: *** 
Atmosfere: **
Price/Quality: **

No seduction nor emotions in the cooking  Please please do start delivering the real taste you know how to, one can perceive it through the fish Dish, don't waste what could be a great kitchen.
