"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."

"Been to slug and lettuce before and had no issues. However, have to say I’m shocked at the service I received last night. First off we got there around 20:40 ordered drinks at 20:50. About twenty minutes later still no drinks a worker comes round saying the apps down and to order at the bar. We all went up still not got the drinks we ordered off the app and had to wait half an hour more for these. When I complained didn’t get an apology they gave us 3/4 drinks we ordered, my friend still missing a drink, had to go back up again and ask. When I went up the 2nd time they told me it’s not on their system so it wasn’t ordered. When I came back to the table on the app it said it had gone through so I had to go up for the 3rd time baring in mind at this point we had been here about an hour and still not had a drink. Spoke to the same girl again for the third time and said if you don’t have an email confirmation it’s not gone through. Basically explained look over been here an hour had to deal with all this I’m not impressed but thanks for the help. Go back to the table again and guess what! got an email confirmation for the drink we Apprently “haven’t ordered”. Spoke to the manager this time who told me to calm down when I raised my voice asking for the drink I have clearly ordered. Finally after about an hour and 20 minutes got all the drinks. Never got an apology and didn’t seem to emphasise with customers at all. A friend of mine who went the week previously said the same thing happened to him had to wait over and hour for drinks and staff didn’t even apologise or offer help. In conclusion I wouldn’t recommend on a night out unless you’re willing to wait around an hour to receive a “raving disaster”."
