Gastropubs in Manchester

“Called as soon as place opened for the day to make a reservation for Monday evening. Hostess put me on hold, told me first available to sit is 7:45 pm tonight. Little late for kids to wait at home, so we had dinner elsewhere and came to sit at bar and have a night cap and desert. When we came in there close to six staff crowded behind the Maitre D's station. We asked if we could sit at the bar. They said no problem, then one of the staff followed behind us at a distance. Maybe to make sure we got to the bar? There was only one bartender and she was very busy. There were 11 people at the bar. So took awhile for bartender to get to us. My wife ordered a drink, I ask for a decaf expresso with a shot of Ameretto. Bartender gave me a great pour of almoretto in a snifter glass. The decaf regular coffee came few minutes later. I was hoping for expresso at a place like this but, whatever. The one bartender seemed to get into a quiet disagreement with a manager. We ordered the pumpkin cheesecake which was amazing. The building is amazing, deserts amazing also. But service, and staff planning is just not up to what I was hopeing for.“

“We had a wonderful experience at the airport restaurant before our flight. The mixed drinks were delicious and expertly crafted. We ordered a turkey club with fries, and both were absolutely delicious. Our waitress was exceptional, going above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable. This restaurant is a great choice for a satisfying meal before takeoff.“
