M2 4AH 0161 839 2005 Room (Manchester) review Room is located slap bang in the middle of the city centre, right next to King Street (fancy shopping) and its just a stones throw from Manchester town hall. The venue itself has had something of an interesting past, but to their credit they've turned this colossal space into a beautiful restaurant. Huge vaulted ceilings give way to potentially the biggest windows we've seen in a restaurant, and these allow views down King Street and across to the beautiful HSBC building. The rest (furnishings, lights, paint) are all straight off the contemporary eating checklist. The service was attentive, but the staff seemed unaware of what was expected of them. Plates were bashed down on the edge of the table, leaving it up to us to re-arrange items on the tiny table. When handed our Menus the waitress told us that the descriptions were wrong, "they don't accurately describe the food". Bit strange, but we ordered and the food was served promptly. We opted for a safe steak, which was good (ok, 4/5 - it was a decent piece of meat served with crispy French fries.) Desert was a let-down. The chocolate fudge cake looked like it had found its way via Starbucks (plastic wrapped for ?1). A blob of ice-cream and a layer of sugar-lattice completed the mess, and this was going for a steep ?5. I don't mind paying big bucks for a nice desert, and it's very hard to go wrong with desert but somehow Room managed it. Overall Room was a nice place to go, and if you're heading out with a group then this would be ideal. As a top class eatery I would argue that Room isn't quite up there, but you don't always have to be the best to succeed. The popularity of Room with the local celebs (Rooney et al) should see them through to next year. Why not add your own review?
