    We booked our table for 5:30 which explicitly stated that for 3 people we would have the table for 2 hours. We were told on arrival however we would only have the table until 18:45. We were reminded again by the waitress we could only have the table until 18:45. We ate our starter and main just in time to conclude by 18:45. No chance for a dessert then…oh then we were asked if we wanted a dessert. There was a gap of about 20 minutes between the starter and main which was served at about 18:25…as you can imagine we could not relax thinking we were going to be asked to leave at 18:45. Nachos were lovely. Fries served with all three mains were lukewarm and we were not offered any sauces. Overall the food was okay but not to the standard I have previously experienced at Hard Rock.

    Not much selection on menu especially the sides and desserts . the flat bread oven wasn’t on . Didn’t like where we was seated against a wall - very tight space. Host was friendly, atmospheres was good. Enjoyed my steak but was still hungry as no side options available to mine or my partners taste.
    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 3 days ago
    Hello Heather. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We would like to extend our apologies in regards to the lack of flatbreads during your visit. Unfortunately our pizza oven had some issues and we only want to send out the best quality food we can so took the decision to remove the flatbreads as an option for a brief time as we were unable to produce them to a high standard. We hope you bought up any issues in regards to your seating with a manager during your visit. We always want our guests to feel as comfortable as possible when dining with us and . We hope you give us another chance in the future where you'll be pleased to hear the flatbread oven is back up and running again! Kind regards, Team HRC Manchester

    Love going to the hard rock cafes, usually have the same waiter/waitress through the whole visit, but this time, had four different people serve us, didn't really build up any rapport with any of them. They gave my daughter the wrong side dish, but did replace it with the correct one, no questions asked. Unfortunately, my ½ rack of ribs were so tough that they offered me a fight outside!! Having said that, the chicken and the pork were very good along with the cheese and bacon fries. All in all, we all enjoyed our experience. It was just a shame the ribs weren't as good as usual.
    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 3 days ago
    Hello Chris! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're sorry to hear you didn't feel you were able to build any report with your server during your visit. During busy periods, its all hands on deck so we assure guests aren't left waiting around and their food arrives hot and in a timely manner. I'm pleased to hear the issue with your daughters side dish was easily fixed but sad to hear your rack of ribs weren't up to par. I do hope you bought this issue up with a manager during your visit. All our ribs are prepped and smoked in-house to ensure the best quality, however, sometimes mistakes happen and a few tough ones slip through the net so I would like to extend my apologies in regards to this. We look forward to seeing you again in the future! Team HRC Manchester

    Great experience at the Hard Rock Café on Monday evening before a concert we were attending at the AO Arena. The service received from Emily was absolutely fantastic during our visit she was very attentive. The food was fantastic and arrived Iin good time between courses and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the meal. We'll definately be back again.

    Not much room between the tables, restaurant was busy. Food came pretty quick, presentation not fantastic. Once we had finished they cleared some of the plates away but not all of them. Had refillable drinks, never once asked if we would like a refill. Had to ask for our bill 3 times.

We're sorry to see it looks like we missed the mark on this occasion and do hope that you bought any issues up with the manager during your visit. We do hope you'll give us another chance to prove what we can really do. Kind regards, Team HRC Manchester
