    Stunning views of the city, reasonable food, albeit quite expensive but spoiled by the loud techno music thumping away

    Great atmosphere for drinks and talks. Food is ok, not the best flavor, a bit bland. Overall, it was a good experience to view the night sky of Manchester. Thank you!

    Staff and views are amazing, service was fantastic but have no high expectations for the food. We went for Sunday roast and by 3pm they ran out of beef. Duck roast was enjoyable, but trimmings could have been better (vegetables were just lettuce and one carrot)…

    Disappointed 25 minutes late to be seated and then rushed out of our seat to get other guest in. Not what I expect for a place with such a price point. Poor treatment and no empathy from the staff. Asked for a window and nothing was given even though the restaurant was nowhere near capacity. Food quality and waiter service good. Unfortunately being made to feel unwanted overrides that somewhat.
