Very limited choice of 2 starters and 2 mains using a Groupon deal. Wine was good and staff were also good but place was being renovated and lacked any coziness and atmosphere.

Hotel is currently undergoing refurbishment so was a little difficult to locate the restaurant. We had a Wowcher deal which was great value. We enjoyed a three course meal and a bottle of wine. The staff were all great - special mention to Habish who made us feel very welcome. Many thanks!

After a great experience on her first recent Groupon deal here, my friend bought the same deal and arranged to go again - there were six of us. The offer was 2 courses and a bottle wine between 2. 1 - From reception, we were directed to a lift, to go up one floor and 'follow' the blue signs. Reception staff offered a guide but we felt we should be OK.... There was no blue sign as we got out of the lift 😅... So we milled about a bit, then split up and explored! 2 of us went down a long corridor and found a sign which took us down a few flights of stairs!? God knows where the others went as they arrived 5 minutes later 😅 (Bear in mind - one of our party cannot walk far.) Eventually, we found the restaurant and we were were ushered to our table right at the end, in a cold, dimly lit area, opposite what must be the breakfast hotplate area. It was not very pleasant. The chairs and tables were 'tired'. There was a heater however, which we quickly switched on; but we didnt really get totally warmed up. The waiting staff were lovely though. We were given the menu which was dramatically reduced from the previous visit, to 2 starters, 2 mains, 2 desserts. (£7 extra for 3 courses). We were shocked and disappointed in te lack of choice compared to the choices advertised. When we came to order wine it was House white, rose or red - again no choice unlike previous visit. It was the last straw and my friend, embarrassed after raving about her last visit), asked to speak to the manager. She calmly but firmly told him of her previous visit; the extent of the menu and wine choices; compared to the choices on this ocassion on the same deal, and those as advertised on Groupon. He blamed Groupon and said we should complain to them as (paraphrasing here) the till/computer wouldn't let him enter choices outside the Groupon menu as printed. We asked if we could pay more for a different choice (as last time was £5 extra for steak). He would mot allow that. The food when it came was OK, though portions were small. The white wine was awful, so we changed 2 bottles to Rose - which was only marginally better. 2 of the party ordered beers, and the manager, after prompting, agreed to give 50% off the beers. After her great original experience, my friend had also, unfortunately, bought another Groupon deal for a spa day. After reading reviews for the Spa, she's not looking forward to that! So, my advice is Don't buy a Groupon deal for this hotel. Don't book until renovations are complete.

We visited this restaurant after it supposedly had been refurbished. My chair was broken, the menu was extremely limited, they only had one type of white wine that was undrinkable, food was bland and tiny portions, no salt or pepper on table, had to request cutlery after each course. We spoke to the manager who couldn't care less. I am embarrassed that I took my friends here. Would never return.

First point, because of the refurb you go to the bar which is fair enough but its extremely dated. Secondly, the food was terrible, got one fish and chips, tiniest portion of chips and the fish was questionable. One curry, which was recommended and tatsed absolutely horrific. Tasted like it was from a jar. It is quite difficult to find also to be honest. Now the positives, the manager I spoke to on the phone prior to going was superrrr helpful, so thank you for that, sorted us out a table on the day.

Staff were lovely, shout out to Naomi. Wine. We asked for Malvec. 3 choices on Menu. None in stock. Extensive red wine list... only 2 bottles in the restaurant. Weird. Food. Foccacia. It's very tasty. 2 slices £9. I can hiy 2 handmade sourdough loaves for that in Edinburgh. Steak. Presented with what they called Sirloin..... to be honest.. was more like rump, no fat cap along the edge, fat vein right through middle.of steak. I don't think I have ever been presented with such a tasteless piece of meat in any restaurant. Seriously. Tasteless. Even adding salt and pepper and the so-called peppercorn sauce it was like cardboard. Have a word with your supplier cos that wasn't good steak. Was on a business trip and can safely say that if I stay at the hotel again then I won't be visiting the Scottish Steak Restaurant.

I usually don't complain but this restaurant was one of the worst i had ever eaten at. We had about an hour and a half before we had to be at an event that we had travelled to Manchester for, we thought that was enough time but politely asked the lady when we got to the restaurant what the wait time on food was in case there was a delay in the kitchen. When she asked the chef right in front of us he said "who said that!!" and she pointed at us standing 2 feet away. He looked disgusted and stared us down like we had insulted him which made us feel unwelcome to start with. That should of been the first warning that this restaurant is not professional in any way. We were seated in the far part of the restaurant and waited for 15 minutes for someone to take a drinks order and another 15 for the drinks to arrive bear in mind this place only had about 5 tables to serve. Then when we had ordered the food it was my mistake not to point out that there were three orders for three people so to bring it altogether? I assumed this was obvious as we had already asked about wait times and it was the same lady taking our order. So of course my mums soup came first and i had to go up to the counter to ask them to put our mains through. My mum had ordered the soup starter (9 quid for a laddle of soup) as her main dish and wanted one slice of bread or something to dip into it, they said this was not possible but then they proceeded to bring out a sharing bread platter that they wanted us to pay for which is another 7 quid FOR SOME BREAD?! So that would of been 16 quid for a bowl of soup and a piece of bread?! We refused of course. When our mains arrived i had ordered the plant-based burger which was disappointing, soggy and felt like it had been warmed up in a microwave. My boyfriend ordered the steak which is 27 quid by itself, then another 5 for chips then another 4.50 for peppercorn sauce. He said the steak wasn't seasoned at all, there was about 5 chips on the plate and was just overall disappointing. After inhaling the food as we were now late for our show we went up to pay *sigh* of course even paying would be difficult and slow. We waited for someone to address us but they were too busy not having a clue so we left. The next day i had time to talk to the restaurant manager and express how disappointed i was with the service, atmosphere, food, attitude of the chef, wait times and price and rightfully offered us a discount . For those extortionate prices you need to match with incredible food and service and maybe a splash of ambience? We regretted choosing The Macdonald over McDonalds. Never again!!

Decided to eat in the evening at the hotel rather than venture into the city again. Had the steak and the belly pork. It was fine, if not great. A bit on the expensive side, adding chips and sauce hiked up the price by another £9. Blue cheese sauce very runny and the pork was only warm when it arrived. The service was very good from freindly staff, and we came away feeling it had been an ok experience. The atmosphere and food qualitiy was actually better at a nearby pub at the lunchtime, at a fraction of the price.

I didn’t have high hopes for this place after reading some of the reviews posted here. However, we booked it as part of a ‘Date Night’ package with the Macdonald Hotel and I have to say I was actually very impressed with both the food and the service. I ordered fish and chips and my husband ordered the burger. My fish and chips was possibly the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant - perfectly cooked fish with the chunkiest chips I’ve ever seen! It came with a generous dollop of tartare sauce which was absolutely delicious. My husband’s burger also looked yummy - a proper thick juicy burger, well garnished and with a decent portion of fries. The waiting staff who served us were very polite and efficient too. I don’t think there’s anything I could find fault with. If I had to be picky about anything I’d say the air conditioning was possibly a bit on the chilly side but it didn’t make our evening any less enjoyable.

We had originally booked at this hotel to see Aerosmith at the AO. Unfortunately that was cancelled due to the uncertainty of travel restrictions caused by Covid. So having decided to retain the reservation, we had a free evening, and what better way but to spend it in the Steakhouse Restaurant? We were served by a lovely lady called Megan (who I believe was on her first day), who made sure that everything was to our satisfaction. The food was second to none, and unlike quite a few top restaurants, was quite filling too. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Ordered a steak at a steakhouse, asked for medium rare and got it well done. Waiter took it back, waited about 40 mins for my food, the rest of the table was done way before I got my own. Had to ask about my food while other tables got their food in between, and it came back well done again! By this point we were in a hurry because it took so long for me to get my food so I had to go to my event on an empty stomach. The drinks I ordered were also wrong to add more to the problem. Hotel itself was also not very nice, keycard constantly didn’t work which was lost time in Manchester to fix it constantly. Waste of time and money this place. The only thing they have going for them is that they’re right next to one of the stations, other than that it’s not worth it.

The manager was very pleasant and professional and made sure our wine was topped up every time he passed our table. The food was very nice and great value for money, we will definitely return and hopefully stay the night in the Hotel.

13th best steakhouse in Manchester? Oh dear, how bad are the numbers 14+? Not only is there no hint of Scotland in this "Scottish steakhouse" but there is little evidence of steak there either. Be clear, on a good day this might be a restaurant - might - but it IS NOT a steakhouse. They offer three steaks - rump, rib eye and something labelled "Butchers Cut". I asked the, for want of a better word, 'waiter' what a Butcher's Cut was and he replied: "It's hard to explain... it's a cheap cut of meat... different sizes... you don't know what you will get." Not exactly inspiring! No sirloin, no fillet, no Chateaubriand; just rib eye, rump - which l thought the cheapest cut of steak until this place introduced me to the mighty Butcher's Cut. Yes, l should have checked the menu in more detail but l was fooled by the overall rating (all the higher rated steakhouses were booked) and l was actively misled by the plainly wrong "steakhouse" label. Our drinks took ages to arrive, my partner was given a straw the size of a drain pipe for her Espresso Martini, both our bottled water and my beer were warm, our burgers were adequate and only the Truffle & Parmesan fries were restaurant quality. I chose not to add wine and we left without dessert, so not only were we disappointed but the Scottish Non-Steakhouse missed out on another £57. I echo previous comments about lack of atmosphere and poor service, although l blame the latter on the lack of basic training, not the youngsters serving us. A huge disappointment on a special night so avoid at all costs unless your idea of a top quality steakhouse is fish & chips or a burger.

Disaster - don't waste your time and money. First, they didn't have dish we wished to order - which was the only vegan main course option on the menu. Then, they didn't have whisky we asked for. We were waiting for food for almost an hour. They forgot to bring us a drink we've ordered. At the end, we've asked for another straw because the one they gave us was completely broken and we never got it. You'd expect much more from such an expensive place.

So much wrong with this place it’s hard to find anything nice to say. There was absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever with only a handful of tables in use on a Friday night. Our first choice of wine was not in stock. When the waitress brought over our second choice of wine she plonked it in a wine cooler next to the table and walked away. She didn’t even open it, let alone pour it. Our first choice of main course was also not available so we had to choose an alternative. During our evening there was some very strange and repetitive music playing, making it become annoying after a while. The wall next to our table was completely covered in greasy marks. Nothing that a touch of paint wouldn’t fix but clearly it’s been there for some time. Not a pleasant feature.And lastly, before we had finished our main course the waitress started laying up the breakfast tables around us. We decided not to stop for dessert.A rare weekend away with no children and a very disappointing evening!!

Esperamos más de una hora para empezar Ensalada César de pollo servida a 6 de los invitados sin dejar rastro de pollo en ninguno. Todos tienen que ser devueltos para ser rectificados. Luego esperó y esperó y esperó. Finalmente volvimos al mismo tiempo que nuestros platos principales porque solo teníamos un horario de 2 horas y media para cenar. Dejamos los entrantes regresados ya que los platos principales se habrían enfriado. La mayoría de los platos se fueron porque comen de mala calidad o no comen tiempo. Lo sentimos mucho por el personal, ya que estaban tratando de mantenerse al frente de la casa, mientras que obviamente los problemas serios detrás de escena y la administración.

Service was very good, but everything else a let down. £18 beouf bourginon was average, but a small portion and presented in a really lacklustre, weird way - beef in a small casserole placed alongside the potato mash which was shaped into a smoothed peeled potato shape. No garnish on the plate. I had tarte tatin for pud (one of a only small hanful of options), and that arrived as a flat brown blob on cold, pastry, kinda odd pastry that was flat, tasteless but soggily flaky. Couldn't make out a single slice of apple either. Seemed as if something that was substandard to start with had then been frozen and 95% defrosted and served to me. Woeful. Ok if I was paying £7.95 for two courses, but I think this lot alone came to about £25. Plus, as others have said, no decent beers on offer either. Avoid. If you don't want to shlep into Mcr proper, try walking 2 mins down the road to Piccadilly station you'll get tastier food there.

One of those reviews where you need a negative rating rather than one to five. I haven’t felt so disappointed in a long time. To be honest the warning signs were clear. When popping up to the restaurant from the hotel bar I was told there was a 45 minute wait. The place was, to the untrained eye, empty. However I was not so courteously informed that they already had 15 customers and it would br bad is to wait an hour for a meal. Ever the optimists we decided to wait the allotted 45 minutes and dutifully returned on time. The same few people at the same few tables looking bored and hungry. Service was, well hard to describe, if you have ever watched Prisoner Cell Block H you may get an inkling. At this point the amygdala was signally violently that flight rather than fight was the better option. Foolishly we stayed. Appetisers arrived in a cool 20 minutes as it takes a while to burn toast and defrost haggis bonbons. Not inedible - but far from good. The ‘steaks’ arrived a little later. Closer to the allotted hour we had been warned about. Sadly accompanied with the wrong sides (although the prison screws told me it was what I ordered - despite the fact I detest green beans and would never have done so). The customer is always wrong. Graciously said screw offered to remove them from the bill before taking them away. Probably the biggest pro for the evening. Steaks were defrosted and chips had been clearly drying out on the hot plate for a number of hours to get that special crisp but dry and rubbery texture. Upon asking for the bill leaving half finished plates the screw asked if we had enjoyed the meal. We both answered no - it was dreadful. The response ‘ok thank you’ shall I put it on your room!?£100 quid better spent at Pret A Manger on a vegan baguettes. This rates as the absolute worst experience so far.

This was a poor choice for us. First of trip advisor appears to think this restaurant is closed on a Saturday. It is not. I called and asked for a reservation at 7pm to be told ‘I can’t make that reservation’. No problem, anything later? 6.30pm only. I arrived at 6.45 and the place was dead. One table eating. No chefs cooking outside like in the photos. Just a sterile kitchen door open with papers stuck on the wall. How could you not accommodate us at 7pm?Starters were slow but were good quality. Again, there’s now only two tables full in the whole restaurant. Fish of the day? Not sure. Price? Again, not sure. No bread provided. No mustard other than English. Steaks arrived. They were OKAY at best. They had been frozen for sure. The RED WINE sauce we ordered turned out to be just GRAVY. We applied a tastecard discount, I would have be horrified if we had paid £100+ for a meal. There is a reason this restaurant is empty on a Saturday night.

Thursday evening was my fist time back to this restaurant since February 2018 and a lot has changed since then. I used to dine here every other month and I was never disappointed... and fortunately, I can say the same again about my visit this week. The fillet steak was perfectly cooked, and the garnishing was fresh and delicious. One of my starters was amazing because of the blue cheese dip that it came with. And my sticky toffee pudding was just perfect. And to top it all, was the excellent service from Marta, who made sure that my visit was the best it could be! Marta made some excellent dish suggestions, and knew when to check if I needed something, without being overzealous, like in some restaurants, and knew exactly when to bring the next course. Overall a great dining experience complimented by Marta's service expertise!!! I will be making a point to visit more regularly now, whether I stay at their hotel or not.

Terrible experience all round. First we ordered the only decent beer they had in a bottle, to be be told there was none left even though we were one of their first customers. I ordered my steak medium and my partners rare. We received our steaks, mine was well done and dry, even though it was sitting in what looked like water, my partners was almost well done, called the waiter over and after what looked like a disagreement between him and chef had it recooked. It then came back blue and cold. We didn't have time to send it back AGAIN so he had to just eat it. The hand cut chips were not nice and some were still hard inside. The beer we had on tap was also horrible, so our complimentary drink we were offered we refused, as we couldn't drink the first one. And all for £65 as the not even 8oz steak was £26. Way overpriced and terrible.

Came here with friends on Friday night. 3 of us ordered steak and the other a burger. All 3 steaks were perfectly cooked and had a nice barbecue flavour to them. My other friend said her burger was delicious.

My steak came dry and rather cold and I didn't enjoy it as much as expected. It is so important to serve steak at the right temperature before it gets dry. Everyone else's was good but I suspect that they wanted to serve everything together and that must be how they messed up my steak.

Nice restaurant with nice atmosphere but unfortunately i tasted better meat in restaurants that do not specialize in meat. The service was ok but without enthusiasm.

Situato all'interno dell'hotel MacDonald, questo ristorante offre buona carne e personale gentile, ma con porzioni un po' scarsine a prezzi elevati. Non dispone di birra alla spina.

The black pudding scotch egg starter was something special, though I didn't finish the piccalilli (it was nice, just over powering). The steak was really really good, i had the rib eye and they cooked it well with a good crisp outside. All in a great meal, pricey but worth it

O restaurante situa-se dentro do Macdonald Manchester Hotel e serve pratos de carne de vaca muito saborosa e muito bem confeccionada. Os funcionários são muito prestáveis e profissionais. Os preços dos pratos são elevados mas justificam a qualidade dos pratos apresentados. Recomendo.

Til tross for byråkratisk ankomst- måtte vente mens hovmester så etter plass til oss på dataen til tross for nesten tom restaurant, så var det hyggelige kelnere og med utsikt til kjøkkenet fikk vi med oss alt kokkene gjorde.

The service and food in the steakhouse itself were exceptional. Staff were spot on and it was a lovely meal. It would have been better if the service at the bar downstairs was better though. Waited more than ten minutes to order a drink.... as did one or two other patrons. When we then ordered our bottle of wine we had to wait for it to be opened upstairs- no corkscrew at the bar? Just seemed a mismatch of services

If you are looking for a restaurant with atmosphere and a nice outlook this is not the place for you. Overlooking the main road out of the city your eyes are constantly drawn to the large number of buses passing the windows at what seemed like less than five minute intervals. What was also disappointing is the fact that the day after new year several items were unavailable from the menu including my preferred choice of sirloin steak . In fairness the rib eye I ordered as an alternative did not disappoint but I found it odd that selection was so limited. Tried hard but could do better.

Myself and fiance ate in the restaurant on Thursday 28th December 2017. We visited as we are having our wedding reception at the hotel in August 2019 and our lovely wedding coordinator suggested we eat in the restaurant before paying our deposit so we knew what sort of menu and food to expect and the restaurant did not disappoint!! We were greeted by a really happy and friendly waitress who promptly sat us down at the table and brought us over our drinks along with water and bread for the table which was really nice. We ordered food and within no time our starters, tempura squid for him and a smoked salmon salad for me, arrived. Both starters were fantastic and the flavour combination in the salad was amazing. Once we had finished our starters our platea were promptly cleared and our mains soon followed. My fiance had the pork tomahawk and I had a rump steak. Both were cooked perfectly and piping hot! We were sadly too stuffed for a desert, however, upon learning the reason for our visit the waitress who had seated us brought us over a glass of prosecco each on the house to congratulate us which was a really nice touch!! The service and the food were fantastic throughout and I would strongly recommend eating here. We can't wait for the food at our wedding!!

A repeat visit as staying in the hotel again and no time to go anywhere else, last time I gave it 3 stars, this time only 2. Three of us waited ages for a table (on a relatively quiet Sunday evening), as we were told they needed to wait for people to finish. Eventually we were shown to a table that had been empty all along. Waited another age for some water to arrive (dirty glasses) and then even longer for our bread to come (and the order was incorrect, should have been 1 bread and 1 cheese straws - got 2 lots of bread but couldn't bear a further wait for them to correct it).

Los alrededores son cómodas y muy limpias, todo sobre este lugar emana calidad. La comida fue absolutamente deliciosa, y el tamaño de las porciones fue justo para mí. Había dos camareras de esa noche (creo que llaman Zoe y Alexandra, mira para ellos! ), y ambos fueron muy atentos y se ocuparon de nosotros cada paso de nuestra comida. Gracias al equipo por hacer que nuestra noche sea mucho más especial! Definitivamente lo recomendaría a mis amigos y a mi familia, y estoy deseando volver a visitar este lugar de nuevo, espero que muy pronto!

We don't go out for steak very often but we decided to go for a change. We used our tastecard (Thursday night) and there were no issues with this. The food was great. The smoked fish starter tasted amazing, each item having its' own flavour. The asparagus with hollandaise sauce was also excellent. The steaks were cooked really well and were tasty. We don't like huge portions and these were perfect with hand cut chips and veggies. The atmosphere was really nice and the service good especially from the manager who made sure everything was OK. Highly recommended.

Everything is freshly cooked so takes a little time but it's worth waiting for; attractively presented, piping hot and very tasty. Not able to try everything on the menu but it's a good choice. Would recommend this restaurant.

My son had reserved a table(days before) for a family meal prior to Wedding next day, due to some of the party being delayed he went to the restaurant to ask if he could move the time. No booking recorded!! The restaurant manager said he'd fit us in although they were busy.When we sat down for meal they didn't seem busy at all or during our stay in the dining room.Service all round was extremely slow throughout. Food was good but portion sizes varied, some starters were a joke for the price.however a pleasant evening eas had by all.

Ordered boiled eggs waited 25 minutes and they still hadn't turned up. I saw a lady ask the 'arguing' chef for a fried egg and he re-heated an already cooked one off the hot plate!Porridge was made with water not milk and was tasteless.The whole experience was pretty disappointing all in all.

Please see my review of the hotel for a full reviewWe had an evening meal included in our stay which was very nice, with an extensive choice from a set menu. We opted for BBQ ribs, fish and chips and a burger. The portions were large and plentiful. The service could have been faster, but wasn't painfully slow.Breakfast at this hotel is very good, which you would expect for the price (19.50 p/p). I would love to see this be a service rather than a buffet or at least being able to order from a menu e.g. pancakes or omlette.

I went to this restaurant last week with a group of colleagues. I wasnt paying but i was aware of the cost. We had been asked to preorder and i went fot the ribs as a starter and the "Butchers cut Steak" as the main. On arrival we were served our starters, i was given two and a half ribs which had so little meat on they werent worth bothering with. Come the main i was told my steak had been upgraded to the Ribeye. Not sure how thos can be an upgrade when the menu describes the Butchers Cut as the best. The steak arrived and was about 1cm thick, to keep such a thin steak rare they hadnt manage to melt the fat line that runs through a ribeye, it was a bubble of white than sat on the steak. The steak was tasteless, hadnt been seasoned and was like chewing cardboard.Cheesboard to finish. Again very boring for the cost, handful of plain and the same crackers and standard cheese option i would have expected in a Berni InnOverall disappointed, would have made a serious complaint if i had been paying.Wont be going back, many far superior steak houses in town

Cold plate to start off, frozen chips not cooked in the middle and soggy batter on the frozen undercooked fish So disappointed as it was nearly empty so time was on there side to get it right The staff were nice front of house but sadly definitely won't be recommending this cafe and will never return.
