- AArmandSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoMy wife & I love to sit at the bar and have our dinner. We love the service Karen and Kirstie provide of course, but they are just naturally nice people that remember you, what you drink, friends you have in common, even though you only come every so often. They’re good people and we enjoy seeing them as much as the rest of the experience.More infoHanover Street ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steak• Manchester•4.8
