"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."

"To be fair, I was greeted by a lovely chap that welcomed me on a dark and windy Monday evening. He showed me to my room which at first glance looked ok how wrong was i, more to follow... Upon the gentleman leaving i asked what time the bar and restaurant opened upon which equipped 'we are not open for food or beverages until Wednesday now ' meaning in essence that due to the location of the hotel, i was 30 minutes walk away from anywhere that served food and as alway with these case to put the icing on the cake could i get a taxi! After unpacking, I decided to have a quick shower and freshen up and thats when my initial reaction of the room being 'ok ' started to fade, and it was then i started to dig a little deeper... 1. hand marks all over shower head and dried shampoo 2. tiles at the bottom of the shower full of mould, 3. pubic hairs on radiators 4. windows cracked and rickerty 5. windows mould and mildew 5.cobweb in each corner of first bay window. 6.The side board table pitted and marked with damp bubbles. As you can imagine i was eager to speak to the kind chap who greeted me, but inconveniently he had left, i then tried to call the 'emergency number ' and again inconveniently for myself this number did not even ring, i ended up finding one number and got through, which was the account office number for the hotel, and left a voicemail, so i 'm sure that a poor office working will be receiving my rant on the voicemail, my apologies in advance . As reluctant as i was i decided to stay that evening as circumstance i.e stranded and i thought the next day would bring better things and i could address my issues. Unfortunately due to a family issues i had to leave the hotel early in the morning for a family emergency visiting my family was the reason for my visit I returned back to the hotel hoping to speak to someone around 4pm, again no one was here and again the emergency number did not work and to make things even better and put a fancy bow on things the heating was off and it was 5, and just my luck it felt like the coldest day of the year January by the sea! . The room with all of its faults became unbearable and i ended up, wait for it... sleeping in the hall way as it was the warmest place and wrapping myself in blankets that i had borrowed from a family member as i did not want to use the linen provided. It is now 6:11am and have taken the steps to move myself to a fantastic hotel up the road called The Seaview Hotel, they are serving me breakfast at 7am and I 'm very much looking forward to it. as you can imagine with all of the above, it has come with great stress and cost and am very much hoping the nice chap Mr Elusive will be kind enough as he was in the first instance to reimburse fro the five days i have paid for including the two god awful nights that i have had to stay here. I will be phoning him to make him aware of the above however i cant seem to contact them, funny that, can anyone help? Ps. they did have a nice radio in the room."
