The design has the look of a modern art gallery, in turns minimal and stark, angular and cool, with slashes of colour here and there to break up the industrial tones.
The same steel-grey floor tiles in the reception flow into the laid-back bar area with high tables, low sofas and an iceberg white bar. A classy environment with a a huge flat-screen telly on one wall.
We settled in a comfy, cream leather booth to one side of a room of charcoal grey tables and chairs, the a-la-carte menu is seasonal and the table d'hote changes, apparently, every few days and is named the Mancunian Menu,modern British in nature, with touches of French and other cuisines.
We tried the £19.95 menu for three courses, with coffee. A nice touch was the pre-starter, a cube of dauphinoise potato layered with mushroom and artichoke. To start we had Parsnip soup and spiced curry oil followed by Middlewhite pork with chateau potatoes and mustard roots, I did leave just enough space to dine on the amazing Apple strudel & green apple sorbet.
