Room
Manchester - reader comments |
| "The
presentation of all the dishes at Room was fantastic.
The portions were small but this enabled
us to taste all 3 courses. Fantastic value
as all food was on 50% off offer. We will go back and pay
full price anytime. Great night."

went to Room after work on a Tuesday night with five friends.
The food was very good. In fact I would go as far as
to say the Scallops with Belly Pork (starter) was spectacular.
However, it's pretty expensive, which I wouldn't have
minded had I left feeling fulfilled. Unfortunately, the portions
are just far too small (my friends were unanimous in this
opinion). The place itself looks great but lacks a bit
of atmosphere, but the staff were very attentive."

| "Great
restaurant, great atmosphere, wonderful food
(very inventive deconstructions of classic dishes), cooked
to perfection! Staff were really attentive and helpful.
My friend is lactose intolerant and the waitress bought out
a massive laminated sheet with every single ingredient of
every dish and whether not they contain lactose. A very
impressive dining experience. I'll be back to Room soon
for sure."

| "I've
been to Room a few times and it's usually been fine but the
service on the last occasion was so bad I would never go back
again. The decor is smart and the food is generally
ok. Some of the staff are great, some are almost hostile.
For parties of 8 or more they add a 'compulsary' service
charge, which they refuse to waive even if the service
is terrible. Also, check the bill very carefully and make
sure they bring back the change as they will just keep it
otherwise. There are much better places to eat in Manchester."

went for the the £7 pounds early bird menu at Room. I
was very satisfied with the whole experience but I
feel that I wouldn't have been happy to pay full price for
what I had. It was slightly over priced for the portion
I recieved and if it had been the £16.50, I feel that
I wouldn't have been as satified."

| "If
you're looking for a pretentious overpriced 'Brannigans'
then try Room. If however you want sophistication with dinner
discourse, then I would recommend you try any of the many
other fine restaurants Manchester has to offer."

| "I
visited Room 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."

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"
