Restaurant,
Bar and Grill Manchester - reader comments

| "I've
been to Restaurant, Bar & Grill a couple of times before and have
always enjoyed it, but I was pretty disappointed
on my last visit. The menu never changes so i've
tasted most of the things that interest me - why don't they even have
seasonal dishes? So, I tried one of the specials - Chicken "Pie"
(sic). The pastry was rock hard and flavourless, if you told me it
was an Aunt Betty's frozen pie crust I wouldn't be surprised, the
filling was OK but nothing particularly inspiring or exciting. While
we have been impressed by the quality of the food on previous visits,
this time nothing had that 'wow' factor. We felt that the waiting
staff were pushy, condescending and intrusive - they seemed
more interested in trying to get us to drink more wine (maybe they
get a commission for any additional bottles you order?). The place
was packed, so I suppose they think they must be doing something right
but we probably won't be rushing back there any time soon. Shame because
it was one of my favourite restaurants in the centre of Manchester."

food when we visited 26/05/2007. Busy but staff helpful
and whilst we had not booked managed to find a place for
us after 15 mins or so. Good decor, clean and with
clean toilets. Table under the stairs which was initially
offered not so good. A bit claustrophobic!"

colleagues and myself had a wonderful evening, we really enjoyed
the food, drink and the atmosphere of the place. I will now
be taking all of my clients there as I feel it is the best
place in town!"

steak I have ever had anywhere, fantastic.
My girlfriend had the fish and chips, I thought it looked
amazing!"

"As
a business venue, this place is still very good - it's plush
and the service is top notch. The food however was a
big let down - I opted for the half lobster, which I admit
was never going to be a big meal, but the very few pieces of meat
lacked any real flavour and came with the grand total
of 10 chunky chips, piled high like a game of Jenga. There was loads
of sauce, not that I had any food to pour it over - all for £17.95.
It's not surprising that many of the recognised food guides have downgraded
this establishment over the years - there's far better places
in town to choose from, and judging by the serious lack of
lunch time customers, many people have taken note."

"I've
been there many times over the years and I think it needs
a re-vamp to freshen it up. The menu doesn't seem
to have changed very much in years and is in need
of an imaginative make-over"
