"I was really looking forward going to this restaurant after the Canary Wharf light display. However I was left fairly underwelmed by the whole experience. I had booked the online £20 2 course menu plus a cocktail. When we arrived there none of the staff seemed to be the slightest bit aware that I had booked this offer. They seemed slightly unsure what to do and it felt a bit as if we were left to fend for ourselves. We had to ask several times what the cocktail was and also the set menu was very limited. (On the website it doesn't tell you what the set menu). We had to wait a long time for our food, and when it did arrive it was luke warm and not piping hot as you would expect. Also, my friend who ordered the fish was very disappointed with the tiny portion that she was given and had to order a side dish of chunky chips to go with it as it came with very little. The puddings however were really nice. And almost made up for the evening if I am honest. I think the biggest let down for me was the place. It just didn't have the wow factor for me. I was expecting Butlers Wharf Chop House or Plateau but it was very minimal and stark and didn't have a warm atmosphere at all. The staff were friendly, and tried their best, but something didn't quite add up with this place and the price of the meal. I don't think I would rush there when there are so many other restaurants to choose from."

"Restaurant Bar Grill is owned by Individual Restaurants, of which own a couple of restaurants around the city, including on in partnership with celebrity chef, Gino D 'acampo which is one of my favourite Italians in the city, this offers a different type of cuisine in a large, stunning building just off Deansgate on John Dalton Street, it is opposite Salvi 's. Walking in, it doesn 't feel like a restauraunt at all and I did struggle to find this place at first and I had to use Google Maps in my own city and only located it through it being opposite Salvi 's. The place inside is huge, you enter through a bar, upstairs you have the restauraunt and terrace area, keep going up and you have Head Office. The staff were so friendly and kind especially the host who escorted me upstairs and to my seat. The gluten free menu had some good options, I ordered a gluten free greek kebab, I was told it consisted of chicken, peppers, onions and it sounded pretty good so I ordered it, the service, however, was really slow and I must have been waiting over 20 25 minutes only to be served a gluten containing item instead, it was served with a form of bread, I had to check it was gluten free, only to be told No I asked them to remake the dish as it wasn 't gluten free to avoid cross contamination which they had no problem with, again this meant I had to wait even longer which was a pain considering the restauraunt was mostly empty, with only 3 or 4 tables of which looked like staff sitting there, probably from Head Office as they didn 't seem to be ordering food either, I totally understand waiting for food when it 's busy but considering it was virtually empty, I can 't understand why or at least I didn 't understand why until I tasted the food, I couldn 't understand why a stunning, large venue offering 50% off food could be empty, of course until the food. My kebab was awful and if it wasn 't for the staff making it free due to my long waiting time and the fact I didn 't want to spend much longer in the restauraunt, I would have sent it back. The chicken was bland, and it also had halloumi on which I wasn 't expecting, I bit into this and it tasted so bad, halloumi is one of my most hated foods anyway, accompanied by something which tasted like pico de gallo, this just put me right off my food regardless, I do think a better explanation either on the menu or from the staff at what food would be served is warranted, as I didn 't get what I was expecting at all. The portion size for the prize also is laughable, my dish normally would have cost £18.50, with no sides plus a service charge. 1* Considering how great the host and most of the staff were it 's a shame to give such a low rating, but I think it is warranted given the circumstances of the long wait times, poorly described terrible food and the fact I was given gluten by mistake and if I hadn 't of been suspicious and asked to confirm if my food was gluten free, I could have been really ill. By the time my dish was remade, I had lost all confidence in this place to be able to deliver a safe meal regardless."

"At 16:45 on a Saturday afternoon, I had telephoned ahead a few minutes earlier to check they had a table available. The friendly lady had advised we would need to vacate in two hours, which was more than enough time for our pre cinema dinner with our show starting in an hour.We were warmly greeted and shown to our table and left to read over the menu. Drinks orders were taken a few minutes later by which time we’d also decided on our food choices. We both ordered Oreo shakes and burgers, one with French fries and the other with triple cooked chips, and both done medium/well. The Oreo shakes were presented in lovely tall sundae glasses with wide paper straws.Not my usual drink of choice with a burger but a welcome indulgence and yummy distraction whilst we waited a bit longer than expected for our food.The burgers came well done and were divine, being tender, succulent, wonderful quality meat and superbly tasty. They were clearly home made and freshly prepared with care and more than worth the wait. We were asked if we’d like sauces and my daughter chose mayo and was presented with a small dipping dish for her fries and a squeezy pot for her burger I thought this shows care and thoughtful attention to detail. Portions are very generous and we were both satiated.The bill was presented without an assumed service charge, and left for me to determine the tip, which I always appreciate."
