The cocktail menu is interesting although I don't think they quite pull the flavours off, also as it's a late night place they should be looking at providing bigger selection of dark/strong combinations. Like Fress restaurant, they have spent money on nice tiling and properly painted the walls, which is a refreshing change in this area and a lovely hat tip to Manchester's beautiful interior past. Another good addition to the NQ basement bar scene.

The first time I was in here, was without my absolute will, because Casinos; I'm just not into the…read morewhole gambling with money deal. Oh well, I do enjoy the game though! Little did I know this place unfolds a full stacked posh bar- 'Fusion' and a restaurant 'Linen'. The decor and ambience grips you and transports you the moment you enter, the very Vegas look and feel to the place makes it very attractive and appealing to the eye and mind. You obviously need to I.D yourself (over 18's only) but the good thing is it registers you once and provides you with a card (very high-end must say!) and saves you the trouble of I.D-ing yourself every time you enter. It has poker tables to blackjack to roulette to slots along with complimentary drinks and sandwiches!!! (For students this is heaven!) The bar is situated at the back and has a very posh yet relaxed look with the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat on! The bartender is very friendly and caters even to customized shots on very girly requests! (Women can have the edge in this one!) Though, a little tight on the pocket, it's worth it owing to the atmosphere and quality. The restaurant offers very modern British dining and comes with exciting wide range of wine selection from its own cellar. The special thing would be booking the chef's table which gives a view into the private kitchen showing a live performance of the art of cooking whilst enjoying your meal! Very unusual according to me! On weekends Fusion Bar is up for some class Dj's and live music giving it a perfect weekend tinge. So if you're confused about where to have that very classy evening followed by drinks and fun, try the Linen and then Fusion whilst winning some hands in poker!

WOW! I've wanted to go to this place for FARRR too long. I'm not sure why, as I can only really…read moreplay Blackjack, but the allure of this place has always urged me to go. First of all, entry is from what I can already tell an exclusive "Members only" policy. However luckily, you sign up on first entry for free. They take some of your personal information and create you an account, but from there it's all free roam . Past the lobby and it's Chinese themed restaurant is the "Poker" area, filled with poker tables and plays who I presume are professional. So...I avoided that. Head up two sets of escalators, and you're lead into a huge open-plan room littered with Roulette, fruit machines and various other card games. And what most people come to 235 for...The bar! GOD does it look modern and beautiful!! Set between two sets of stairs under the "Linen" restaurant. For people who already know me I'm a cocktail guy, so my first purchase had to be bond themed ;) Dry martini, shaken not stirred with a lime taste.....I don't think bond had limes :S. and then an Apple mojito. Very well made. But back to the point. Both DELICIOUS!! Well worth the VERY costly £8 ish...Kind of....(Kyoto are nicer and better) But yes, overall a great place to hang-out if you exclude the cost of drinks. I mean, come on! I saw a bottle of wine for £300.00+!! Crazy. Great Casino/Bar and very modern if you like that sort of thing :) Also... The toilets are rather clean and awesome :)

This place is truly a local gem and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal here - the locally sourced,…read moreseasonal produce all tasted delicious. I can't believe it'd taken me so long to try them out. The décor is pretty sleek and stylish considering that they focus mostly on British cuisine. I liked how each table had a twee cutlery container - Spam, Lyle's Golden Syrup etc. There are large bi-folding windows for al fresco dining (which was perfect considering the current warm weather), and also an open kitchen where you can see the chefs in action. The staff are welcoming and attentive without being in your face, making helpful suggestions when asked. Menus change frequently, so don't rely on the website in case they haven't updated - but trust that whatever you choose will be very good quality, which is cooked and served to perfection. My lamb steak was superb and my dining companions commented that their desserts were the best they've had in a very long time. The Fat Loaf is the current leader for great dining in the Sale area, by a long margin. I'll be returning as soon as I can!

I didn't know what to expect at first but I got there around 1130am and I think they were on the switch over from breakfast to dinner .. I picked a table and got the menu up using the qr code on the table and had a browse. As most places were only opening at 12, I had a limited menu, but what was in the menu looked amazing. You can order from 1 place, or multiple places and pay on the same bill so I went for a drink from one place and an h burger from another. It was really cool, the servers brought the drink and it was very quick, and then the food came later .. but not much later. It was amazing, so delicious and juicy and just a great all around burger and great all around experience. It would be great for a group of people as each could order their own and have a mix of different cuisines. There was only the downstairs open when I went and when I go back I will go after midday but I'd have to be careful as it statutes to get a bit busy as I was leaving .. all in all it was a great place and a great experience and I will for sure be returning.

We tried several different dishes like the Buttermilk-fried chicken, sourdough bread, mash potatoes, french fries, baked broccoli and Slow-cooked beef cheek. My favorite was the buttermilk fried chicken. Definitely can't go wrong with that. All of it was delish. So much flavor and good size to share with 3 people. We also got Sticky toffee pudding for dessert. So yummy! Definitely give it a shot.

We had SUCH fond memories of this place from a few years ago when we gave it a stellar 5 star…read morereview. This time it simply disappointed in almost every way. The service was OK, the food offerings just not enticing at all (we ended up with Caesar salads as the main, and stopped to buy some food at a Sainsbury's local and take it back to our hotel room. The cost of cocktails and mocktails was absurd. Mrs G got a mocktail that was totally tasteless for £9.50. I had a margarita that tasted good but the glass was 80% filled with the biggest block of ice that I have ever seen - for £14.50!!!! Advice - stick with beer or wine and don't even consider cocktails!!! The place is still attractive but the fact that it was virtually empty on a Friday evening at 7-8pm is maybe explained by all the foregoing??

TL;DR - Food and drink aside, you're here for the view…read more I've been here a couple of times - once for drinks in the bar, and once for lunch. The bar area is nice and has a big outside area for nice days. Gin and tonics were nice and reasonably priced for a venue like this. The lunch was very nice, although the portions of some dishes were a little on the small side. I had a heritage tomato salad to start, followed by a mushroom pithivier with kale, and finally roulade (which was delicious but basically a posh swiss roll!). Food and service were good, but the real reason why you're here is the view. On a clear day, it's spectacular - easily one of the best views of the city, and you can see for miles out to the hills and countryside. I'm quite scared of heights, but was able to enjoy them without being right up against the windows - the panoramic ceiling to glass walls are great, and the lunchtime tables and arranged at an angle so you can enjoy the view whilst eating. It's not cheap here, but you can tell from the decor that they're priced as a premium venue. Is it the best food I've ever had? No, but it's still very good... but the views more than compensate.

Bear in mind this is part of the same group that includes Orelle of Birmingham…read more Date of Visit: 20/6/2025 OK. Let's start with the exception: The Waiter: Kumar (from Nepal). and there it ends to some degree. In fact all of the staff were friendly. One exception when I wanted my daughter and her boyfriend to join use for drink, but was told the table was only for two, but there was space for two more. Kumar found us a table to use near the window. The manager was called, and in the end both our main meals were taken off the bill and no service charge (I tipped separately). I'll come back to the issue later. The manager tried to placate the situation, but the moment was never going to recover. We paid for the starters and a miniscule cheese board of Yarg (barely a slice). Also, paid for the drinks. This was the bill: 2 x Scallops & Tamarind (very nice and flavoursome) - £40.00 1 x Cornish Yarg, pickled walnut, Granny Smith apple, oatcakes - £10.00 1 x 175ml 2023 Viognier "Eco Balance", Emiliana, Aconcagua, Chile - £9.00 1 x 75ml 10yo Tawny Port, W&J Graham's, Portugal - £9.00 1 x Bottle - 2023 Viognier "Eco Balance", Emiliana, Aconcagua, Chile - £38.00 1 x Bottle - 2023 Mendoza Malbec, Deande, Argentina - £55.00 Total £161.00 The issue: Fillet (240g) 35 days dry aged (£46) - There is no way in this world was this 35 days dry aged (Trading Standards needs to check theses facts). I'd requested it to be cooked blue based on the information. Blood should not be oozing out of the meat. I have had actual 35 days dry aged fillets and when cut into them, they are purple. Hence, enter stage left, the manager. He tried to see how it could be put right, it was taken away, and returned 8 minutes later, medium to well done. My appetite was lost, as I took one slice and then left it on the plate. My wife had: Grilled spatchcocked poussin, charred red onion relish, pomme purée, chicken sauce (£28.00) - She half of the poussin, and left the lukewarm pomme purée. However, she didn't complain. (NOTE HERE: Daughter was on another table the other side of the bar away from us. I learnt that she had sent her steak back too.) The place was packed with drinkers around the bar and on the terrace area. I think I concur with another reviewer: " It's more of an influencer hot spot, first day with for a sugar baby, mixed with a London finance bros wooing clients dinner spot vibe. Nothing really screams luxury or fine dining except the prices IYKYK. " A brash clientele, who I found quite rude in their behaviour. One chap bumped into me, and definitely their fault for not looking, but no apology. That's not the fault of the restaurant, but possibly the type that is attracted. I think my wife was sold on this place based on the hype she'd read, and the views. I will not return nor can I recommend. I'm generous with the 2 stars.

The staff were all super nice (not a requirement obvi but it's nice) and the food was really tasty! The interior was nice too very maximalist vibes and it reminded me of something I'd see in LA. Overall a great place to get breakfast
