Living Room - Manchester, The

Trish (3 February 2009)

To celebrate my 70th birthday I had a meal in the first floor restaurant of the Living Room, Deansgate, Manchester, organised by my daughter and daughter-in-law. We enjoyed the booth seating arrangement, good waiter service, and hot, well cooked food, which was well presented. We would go again.

We were allowed to enter this restaurant only when we explained to them that we had a booking. We waited at the bar because our table wasn’t ready and I was disappointed when we did not get even a smile from the waitress. Our food looked lovely and I couldn’t wait to tuck in but our risotto was not cooked properly. When we complained, the dish was taken into the kitchen and the chef agreed to replace it. We were getting late and so I refused with disappointment, but never got an apology. Back outside I was asked to move aside when I wasn’t even blocking the doorway – I found the treatment extremely poor. I think this restaurant is not meant for people who want to have a laugh with friends over a lovely meal. Their Liverpool outlet is much better.
