    Our server Yann didn’t understand what a shandy was and even though we explained he still came back to us and said that HRC do not do shandy’s!!! We asked again and again and eventually a shandy came. No apology. Ordering food was equally difficult as listening wasn’t Yanns greatest skill. He then said after our food had arrived that we could have bogof on drinks but when the bill came he had charged us for 3 drinks. Yann also told me that it’s company policy to charge 10% service and if we want that back we have to contact you. After reading the receipt it states an OPTIONAL service charge but we were not given any option.

    Wanted to try Hard Rock Manchester for a while having been to several in America. The service was very good, Emma served us and she was probably the best thing about our visit. The food was far below average. The nachos to start were okay, but we both ordered the duo of chicken and pulled pork which was not enjoyable. The pulled pork was fatty and the chicken dry and pretty bland. It was also very overpriced for what we had and our meal of 1 starter, 2 mains and 2 drinks was around £75 which we would happily pay for a quality meal. We won’t be going back again. Though I would emphasise once more, this was in no way down to the service which was very good throughout.
    Hard Rock Cafe - ManchesterResponded 6 days ago
    Hello. Thank you for leaving us a review. It looks like we've missed the mark on this occasion. Whilst we're pleased to hear Emma took excellent care of you during your visit, we're sorry to hear the food didn't meet your expectations. We don't like guests to leave unsatisfied and do hope you bought any issues with your meal up with the Manager on Duty during your visit as most issues can be immediately rectified. We do hope you'll give us another chance in the future. Team HRC Manchester
