Service was very good, but everything else a let down. £18 beouf bourginon was average, but a small portion and presented in a really lacklustre, weird way - beef in a small casserole placed alongside the potato mash which was shaped into a smoothed peeled potato shape. No garnish on the plate. I had tarte tatin for pud (one of a only small hanful of options), and that arrived as a flat brown blob on cold, pastry, kinda odd pastry that was flat, tasteless but soggily flaky. Couldn't make out a single slice of apple either. Seemed as if something that was substandard to start with had then been frozen and 95% defrosted and served to me. Woeful. Ok if I was paying £7.95 for two courses, but I think this lot alone came to about £25. Plus, as others have said, no decent beers on offer either. Avoid. If you don't want to shlep into Mcr proper, try walking 2 mins down the road to Piccadilly station you'll get tastier food there.| Date | Guide | Old Award | New Award |

There are some hotel chains that tend do very well in the AA Guide; Macdonald are certainly one of those chains, with over twenty of their hotel restaurants currently holding rosettes. Not that I'm suggesting anything at all untoward, just that they clearly place value on offering a good on site restaurant ... and making sure the AA know about it! Scottish Steakhouse at the Macdonald Manchester Hotel is one of a few of their restaurants which now follow a steakhouse theme and as a lover of steak, I was looking forward to an enjoyable meal as I visited with my wife and young daughter for dinner on a Wednesday evening....
