Steaks glorious steaks
I've been to this restaurant several times over the years - usually for special occasions as its a bit pricey - but well worth every penny. The steak on offer here is the best I've sampled. The restaurant is housed in what used to be an old department store and the high ceiling and atrium gives it a very quirky appeal. Staff service is excellent. Ask for the steak board before choosing - its an education!

Best steak ever!
Two words – ‘go here'. It's to die for. The best steak I've ever eaten outside Argentina – and it should be because they fly it in. Don't think about the food miles or the price, just close your eyes and order. Try the steak sampler (plenty for 2 people) with a portion of each of their different cuts of meat and that way you get to try all sorts of things then next time you'll know which is your favourite. The churrasco cuts are nice and are marinated in nice flavours. The starters are very, very over priced and don't come anywhere close to the mains so are worth skipping, the steaks are huge, so we've never made it to the puddings! Also the cocktails are great, and the wine list is really extensive. I've always found the service to be really good and friendly too.

Great meat, crap service
The steaks here are very good, matched by their high prices (oh and don't come with sides as standard). It is always busy so a reservation will be essential. Pre-drinks in the bar offers a good cocktail and aperitif selection, followed by a huge wine list once you are seated. The food is excellent but pricey.The service was not very good (we were warned by friends) and we were left waiting for long periods of time, with the food not arriving at the same time too.

Best steaks in town - bar none.
Simply put, you will not find a better steak anywhere, ever.This is one of a very small chain – they've got a couple in London that I know of – but offer a different, carnivore based menu.The one in Manchester is set inside what I think is an old theatre. You enter the place through some unpromising looking glass doors down the side of Kendal's and shuffle into the gloom. Once inside proper, you get a fabulous dining area complete with an airy main floor with an open kitchen down one side, banked by a small upstairs dining area on one end, and the old theatre stage (complete with grand organ pipes) down the other. The food itself – well don't even think about entering the place if you are a vegetarian. There are various cuts of meat and home made sausages as well as fish – everything that I've had has been excellent, but you MUST order a steak. The waiter can bring you over a board containing all the raw cuts, and will describe what each will offer you.I don't know how if it's what the beasts are fed on or if it is the way it is matured, but the steak tastes better than any steak, anywhere. Ever.Even a fillet which normally sacrifices a bit of flavour for its tenderness, is packed full of flavour in this place. In fact whenever I go now, I always order the fillet. You get your choice of sauces, peppercorn is fantastic. Unlike the London versions, you get a free side with your steak – a baked potato is the one to go for as the chips are fat ones (and it should be skinny ‘uns with steak for me).I've gone on about the steak so much that I can't be arsed typing anything about the huge Argentinean wine list, or the warm chewy cheesy rolls they give you, or the lovely herb/spicy oil you get to dip it in, or that they now offer merguez sausages.Staff are either totally shite or fantastic depending on who you get, and it is pricey. But it's still my favourite place to eat in Manchester.
