"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."

When leaving a tip make sure you request that the tip actually goes to the waiter in full. I discovered this week that managers are taking a cut along with a cut going to the head chief to top up wages. Tips are also taken by the company and taxed with a percentage of the tips also being taken to pay for processing.

Came here on a Wednesday night, were seated outside. Location is quite nice, the menu features something for every taste. Joined the wine club which gives lower prices on bottles. Food was good, wine was excellent. We were served by a Tom who was the role model of a perfect waiter, made us feel special, that place should be very proud to have him!

The food at this restaurant is excellent, but the service is only average. If the wait staff were more attentive, this place would easily earn five stars. The ambience is sophisticated and the menu is modern, making it a great choice for impressing visitors to Manchester. This restaurant is part of an upscale chain and is always bustling with a vibrant evening atmosphere. The outdoor terrace has been open year-round since last summer.

Although it's a rather sophisticated environment to dine in, I've never been tempted to eat here. The food looks great but to me but I wonder if it isn't a little to conservative, especially for the price tag. Perhaps I'll be proved wrong if I do eventually take the plunge... However, I have enjoyed a couple of tipples at the bar, where drinks are made to a very high standard by well trained bar staff. I had 3 if the same cocktail here, kim sha: finlandia vodka, raspberries, peach, passion fruit and pomegranate juice which I consider very worthy of the £7 price tag. View menu

I visited this restaurant on a quiet Tuesday evening to meet friends. We were seated on the outside balcony, which was a comfortable temperature thanks to the heaters. The staff were knowledgeable about the wines and menu, and were happy to help us make our selections. I ordered the Asian sharing platter, which was fresh and delicious. For my main course, I had the chicken paillard, which was a butterflied breast of chicken topped with mango pieces and a tasty curry sauce. My partner enjoyed a whole rack of ribs with slaw and chips, which was also very good. We paired our meals with a rose Pinot Grigio that was reasonably priced at £23. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Restaurant Bar and Grill used to be my favourite restaurant when I was younger. But then again, so did Pizza Hut, back before I'd ever been to a real restaurant. Bar and Grill is the same kind of story, I used to love it but that was back when before I knew how much Manchester had to offer. OK so I'm probably being a little mean here, I mean it's a perfectly good restaurant with nice food but it's very ordinary and the prices are very high for an ordinary meal...! I've not been in for a little while because Manchester has too much competition for a restaurant which has nothing special to offer. Saying that, I have no aversion to the place and if I was invited there for someone's birthday or...

I came here for drinks on Christmas Eve Eve and I must say it's rather nice. Situated above Panacea on John Dalton St, I've always walked past and seen people out on the balcony, enjoying drinks and even a meal, until quite late in the evening. It must have been getting on for around 10pm when I arrived here but the bar itself wasn't very busy. We headed to the outside balcony area and ordered a drink with the barman. We were served immediately and the price wasn't too bad for 2 drinks a gin and tonic and my favourite Disaronno and coke. The patio balcony area is nicely furnished and very cosy, and the heaters are so strong we were able to sit outside, without a coat! For Manchester, this is... View menu

We looked over the menu and since it was a special occasion, we decided to go all out. We started with some shared flatbreads and hummus as a light nibble on a summer evening. For my starter, I chose the scallops thermidor served in shells with spinach, the sauce was light and delicious - perfect for the hot weather. For the main course, I had the rump steak with fries and a sauce of my choice, cooked perfectly to my liking. The fries were a bit thin for a steak accompaniment but well-seasoned. The sauce, while decent, could have been creamier with less peppercorns. I also shared a side of broccoli with chili and ginger, which seemed a bit expensive for what we got, but it was tasty and we...

I recently attended a function in their Private Room and I have mixed feelings about the entire experience: 1) The room was immaculately set brilliant. On the minus side, the organisers have not printed all name cards correctly (omitted some, printed some twice). 2) The bar staff were very knowledgeable about the drinks on offer and very quick to serve. 3) There were only 2 waiters for 30 people (3 tables), which was not brilliant at all. By the time people at the first table were enjoying their main course, people from the first table didn't even get their starters. After bringing our food, the waiters disappeared, nowhere to be found. So, if you wanted a drink, you had to go to the bar. Th...
