Room Manchester - reader comments

"I visited midweek with three friends. The service was excellent. We all ordered different food and thought it was all quite special. We shared a Cheese Board and the Asiete of deserts which were delicious and saved us the pain of having to make a choice. The only constructive criticism I would make is that we needed to use a torch to read the menu - lucky I was a girl guide." - sheila, manchester 23/2/08 (visited on a wednesday evening)

"I have been to Room twice now since I discovered it about two months ago. On my last visit I had the Chicken Liver Pate to start. The pate was delicious but perhaps they didn't provide enough toast with it. Luckily we had some bread left over so I used that. I had the 8oz Fillet Steak for main, medium rare, and cooked to perfection. It just melted in the mouth. My girlfriend had the Crispy Duck which was also fantastic. For after's we shared a Cheese Board. There was plenty of cheese for us to share and a good selection as well. We visited this restaurant with half price voucher (The Great Winter Sale) and the bill still came to around £70 for the two of us. Drinks were not included in the half price sale and they are quite expensive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant even with the prices. Try to visit for a special occasion at least. Fantastic service, good decor. Loved it" - adam, manchester 16/2/08 (visited on a tuesday evening)

"The food is ok, overpriced though for what you get. The restaurant itself is lovely. I thought the staff were obnoxious, arrogant and try to get you out before you've even sat down then rip you off by charging you a service charge (which they don't deserve) and not returning your change when you haven't told them to keep it. Also, after complaining to the company who own Room you get fobbed off with ridiculous excuses. Definitely not recommened if you want a good night out. And they charge you a service charge at the bar. Ridiculous! " - Gemma Fielding, Manchester 2/8/07 (visited on a saturday evening)

Trusted Reviewer "The food was weird - they are trying to do traditional English food in different ways, which I don't think they are successful at. We were told when they sat us down that they were 'all out' of 4 or 5 different dishes. Then when we ordered my friend was told that they also were all out of a further dish, so she had to change her order. I went for steak but was told that they were all out of Bernaise sauce - how the xxxx can a restaurant be out of sauce!!??!!?? We also had to order all the side dishes extra, which was quite expensive. When we finished the waitress told me/us that they had a special dessert, which was After Eight chocolate and mint something, which sounded delicious, but when another waiter came back to take our order (about 2 mins after she had left the table) she walked past and whispered something in his ear. When I ordered the After Eight dessert - surprise surprise, they were 'ALL OUT' of it. I do not understand how they could be out of everything we ordered. We decided to leave the desserts and asked for the bill, which didn't come on first request. There was also a party in the function room next to the restaurant and it was very loud, the music competiting with that of the DJ in the restaurant much to the annoyance of many diners around us. The waiters tried their best to shut the doors but the guests were going in and out all the time, leaving the door open. A very dissapointing experience." - mary, manchester 15/5/07 (visited on a friday evening)

Trusted Reviewer "Another one of those impressive buildings with the potential to house a good restaurant. Like Stock, Gaucho Grill, The Colony and the now dead and gone Le Mont, Room falls sadly short of it's potential. The menu is so pretentious it's unbelievable. They were out of allmost half the dishes on the menu we tried to order and the Crab and Avocado Cocktail starter I opted for (almost by default) consisted of deep fried crab (I kid you not). The Chicken Kiev main, which suprisingly actually included chicken, did so with a hefty £15 price tag! As a bar, Room is great, the DJ's play superb chilled out music and the decor is wonderful. Service is good, and somewhat apologetic for the number of 'sold out' dishes but with all starters at £5 and all mains at £15 + an extra £2.75 for sides they should be equally as apologetic for charging so much when the food is far from the standard for that price. They do a great £7 pre-theatre menu but if you're not able to get the cheap option, it's a restaurant to stay clear of." - matthew, manchester 13/5/07 (visited on a saturday evening)
