King Street Tavern - Manchester

I wait when they couldn't find our reservation even though I'm showing them on my phone. we were directed to the bar to buy drinks. Unfortunately, a barman was very unforeseen and needed help to serve us much to the annoying of the other barman. we were finally shown our table in the back room, which was very nice and quiet. we ordered our food and it was delicious. I found that although we were consistently asked whether everything is in order, we still seem to have a little more waiting time between cursing than we would normally expect. we asked for comments and after 5 minutes we had to ask someone else. I ordered a drink that never arrived, but gave up to reorder him. when the bill was there to see that the drink was on him, as well as another drink we never ordered. then I had to get her to take him off. the restaurant is beautiful and has a beautiful atmosphere, but I feel that some of the staff are very unorganized. they go out of their way to make their experience a pleasant but not constituent.

Beautiful eating, relaxed atmosphere and great service! will come back

They had not checked online bookings for the day, so no table had set for us. (we had booked 4 hours ago). they sat at the bar and we waited 10 minutes to be served - it seems very understated and the poor barmann was busy to make about a dozen cocktails for a big group. we had a drink and twenty minutes later we waited for our table. we have seen how they built a table and went on to give it to someone who went through the door - probably with a non-online booking. the place was half empty, but after half an hour we are not sitting in the bar. the workers seem quite stressed and badly organized. we didn't eat, but we didn't want to spend money on a place that can't manage their bookings, their personal or their cash. look forward to hotel guests and hot parties.

Fabulous evening celebrated my husband birtbday, our server laura was great, she went out of her way to make his evening special. eating was good, brilliant and good value for money. the restaurant has a nice relaxed feeling.

Best lamb shank l have ever tatsted! The restaurant was a bit noisy due to the ladies having afternoon tea with bottomless champagne
