   Good food, friendly efficient staff and not too badly priced for Manchester City Centre. The restaurant is across the street from the Opera House so ideal for a pre-show meal. We had to leave before the live music started but will be back to experience it soon.

   Food is decent - it's a pretty short menu, executed well. Service is smiley and friendly, but inexperienced and patchy. Despite what seemed like a large number of staff on the floor, there seems to be no concept of 'sections' for the wait staff with the consequence that they lost out on dessert orders (no menus brought, no return to the table after clearing). It took an age to get the bill, and an age to pay it. Whether you like the venue or not will be a matter of personal taste. We visited pre-theatre on a Saturday, the place was packed and very, very loud. If that's your thing, you'll enjoy the vibe. If it's not, you'll hate it (especially while you're in the bar area waiting for your table to be ready). My personal verdict is 'over-rated', but honestly I might just be too old for it :D

   Great restaurant and amazing service. Visited for brunch for my friends birthday and the food was cooked to perfection. The drinks were constantly flowing and it is definitely worth the money.

   My booking was not visible at the venue. They had no record of me booking.

   Really liked The Blues Kitchen! Excellent food and fantastic atmosphere. Only stayed for a quick dinner, but it definitely looked like a great place to spend the evening. We will definitely return.
