   Steak room temperature not hot. The sweet potatoes are described as ash potatoes. They nearly were all ash. Skins totally burnt and actually the sweet potato tasted burnt all way through. Chips, sauce and gravy were fabulous. Steak tasted good, just wasn't hot enough. Long wait times. We waited 45 minutes for the mains. Wine price is expensive and out a keg. Own bottle of wine even pricier

   We had an exceptionally nice meal out here! The service was second to none, and they also made sure to look after our dog too. Great food, great wine and great vibe. My only disappointment was the portion size of the Chips considering the price, and that one of the steaks we ordered could've been a little hotter in temperature.

   Great new addition to Manchester … very Hawksmoor but half the price . Slight issue with my friend’s steak being too well done , when she had asked for medium rare , but it was handled brilliantly by the staff & we weren’t charged . Would definitely recommend Blacklock & return .

   Had a lovely meal here last night. Chose the fillet steak with chips and the chop sauce. I was surprised how large the fillet was for the price. Our waitress was excellent and there’s a really nice laid back feel to the place. Very good experience.

   Firstly, service was excellent and the surroundings very comfortable. Ordered the sharing platter which looked impressive on arrival. However, two huge pieces of bread were hidden under dry overcooked chops. The bone marrow was excellent but, the chips! What chips, a tiny little tin with a dozen dry thinly sliced chips. Being fair, the Sureshot beer was excellent but, overall, very disappointed.

    Out of 10 stars I would rate this place 100*. One of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. 🎉 In summary.. - amazing steak & sides - Blacklock red wine that perfectly complements steak - beautiful, warm venue - flawless service - extraordinary value We both had ribeyes perfectly cooked to medium & medium rare. Tender, juicy, tasty and near perfect seasoning. There's a smoky flavour that you rarely experience in the UK but is a signature for high-end US steakhouses. Either way another added dimension of great flavour. A kale/parmesan side dish provided a great contrast to the steak. The sweet potato another solid side. Our wine was the Blacklock Syrah red which is a wine clearly designed by God for steak. I'm not a expert but it had a perfect acidity to cut through the fattiness of the ribeye and refresh the palate with every sip. 🍷 Lovely dining atmosphere that would work whether you're with friends, family, business, date-night or dining alone. Even the table spacing was just right. Glassware on the table is also interesting and unique. It's all this attention to detail that just keeps adding to the experience. The service was flawless. Attentive, informed with a relaxed friendliness. As I'm sure many others have remarked the pricing & value of Blacklock is truly extraordinary. Normally you get great food, service, wine & venue but then pay through the nose for it. Not at Blacklock. Blacklock seems to harken back to an old-school community capitalism with a conscience. Let's create an amazing experience, treat our people well so they in turn treat our customers well. And then price it in a way that is comfortably sustainable for the enterprise while allowing as many in our community as possible to be part of the experience. Beautiful. 🙌 Bravo Blacklock. You told us you put the restaurant in a basement because you set out to become a 'destination restaurant.' From where we sat & ate you definitely achieved that.
