Scottish Steakhouse at Macdonald Manchester Hotel & Spa

Booked in for an afternoon tea here as a part of the spa package next door. Very friendly staff, efficient and helpful. I had vegetarian sandwiches, some with cheese and some with hummus which was quite nice. Good selection of cakes as well. All in all i had a good time.

I didnt 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 Ive ever had at a restaurant - perfectly cooked fish with the chunkiest chips Ive ever seen! It came with a generous dollop of tartare sauce which was absolutely delicious. My husbands 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 dont think theres anything I could find fault with. If I had to be picky about anything Id say the air conditioning was possibly a bit on the chilly side but it didnt make our evening any less enjoyable.

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 didnt 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 theyre right next to one of the stations, other than that its not worth it.

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.
