Food Quality
Pros:
"The short rib tacos were the stand out dish however everything else was great also."
"The beef was cooked perfectly, just pink like how I would like it."
"Food was gorgeous, not my usual kind of venue not a fan of the decor."
"The food was absolutely gorgeous and the Yorkshire pudding was huge!"
"The roast chicken was described in the most detailed and passionate way."
"The steak, fish tacos, the flatbread with dips and the blondie were particular highlights."
"The food (counter burger and chicken burger) was absolutely fantastic."
"The food was an absolute 10/10, can’t think of anything I’d change!"
Cons:
"The roast potatoes was slightly too hard for my liking (personal preference)."
"Food was pricey for what you can get in the area though."
"£3.50 for a tiny glass of soda water?? 😭 They only do Schweppes bottles no postmix apparently."
"Baked Cod for the Main & it was a little disappointing, especially the rather hard cous cous."
"The Sunday roast wasn’t amazing, only option chicken or beef in the meat, the roast potatoes tasted pre-cooked warmed up."
"£22 for a steak with no sides I'm expecting it will be good. It had gristle and wasn't good quality."
"The food is certainly tasty but you won’t get a lot. Plates are underwhelming portioned."
"Had the sunday roast and we were a bit disappointed. The beef and gravy was great but every other element was disappointing, especially the roast potatoes."
Service Quality
Pros:
"Our server was attentive and we received our food in approx 20 mins."
"The service was amazing, very nice chilling atmosphere with the selection of music."
"The service was soo lovely! Every time I’ve been here had the same waiter, may be the gm not sure but he’s so welcoming and accommodating."
"The staff were so accommodating about this! We ordered one person's food for them, and they kept it under the heat lamp until they arrived."
"Late lunch with friends who I haven’t seen for a while. Was quiet as expected mid week but perfect for us. The service was very good, not overbearing nor insincere."
"Amazing everything & well worth checking out."
"The staff were on the ball."
"The service was great, the decor was very plant-industrial but artsy too, so it was a very pleasant atmosphere."
Cons:
"Wouldn't have minded if the service would have told me about this when I ordered."
"Each member of staff we spoke to was rude. One girl turned around and rolled her eyes when we asked to be served (after 45 mins)."
"The staff on the day we visited were obviously new starters, which isn’t the problem but seemed like there was no structure between them all."
"No menus provided when sat. We asked what wines they had, the waiter mentioned 4 of them and we chose the Sauvignon."
"Horrible service. From sitting down to eating food we waited 2 hours."
"I asked for Jack Daniel and coke and was served with the house whisky."
"Tried to go for lunch. They weren’t ready at 11 when their website says they’re supposed to be open."
"Went for breakfast. Had the poached eggs and avacado. The eggs were under done and the breakfast was only barely warm."
Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"I love the atmosphere here and also the service was friendly and attentive."
"Liked the atmosphere. Would recommend for casual get together and return for the roast lunch that I’ve heard good things about."
"The atmosphere, the spectacular service from Panos and the clear attention to detail by Martin the chef in his flavour combinations."
"The large bi-folding doors connect you to the outside, particularly to the seating across the road where the courtyard for this art complex is."
"The place comfortably warm, the music amazing, overall such a good vibe."
"The ambiance and food here is Amazing. Staff are really friendly and make you have a great dinning experiance."
"The ambiance and decoration is amazing. My favorite is the chicken Katsu and the chickpea salad."
"The counter house is a solid new brunch spot in ancoats - off cutting room square."
Cons:
"Food was gorgeous, not my usual kind of venue not a fan of the decor."
"The music is really good but way too loud. Mentioned it but request was ignored by the manager hence the 4 stars."
"My only grumble. The coffee didn't come in mugs."
"Sometimes wish they'd turn the music down earlier in day, but otherwise can't fault it."
"The place is a shambles. Travelled to Manchester to meet a friend and have breakfast at the counter house."
"I wouldnt let my dog eat their food. Found hair in my coffe twice and it felt like i was pushed out of the restaurant, just so they could get somone else to sit in my seat and feed them their hair."
"Nice deco inside good atmosphere nice kitchen very clean!!, went Just for a drink bit expensive though and there's not a proper pint in the drinks menu just 2/3 and the beer from tap was flat."
