Linen

Horrible. In fact, the entire Manchester 235 is pretty bad. Tacky, tasteless and filled up with no-hopers throwing their money away.

But this is about the restaurants. I've eaten in both Linen and Numero and can tell you that they are both beyond redemption. Truly bad. If you insist on eating in a casino, go to the nearby Circus casino, where at least they have a great chef (Novelli) working, and the food puts the insipid offerings of Manchester 235 to shame.

If you set foot in this trap, you can't say you weren't warned!!

I agree with the last poster. Manchester235 is a tacky experience from start to finish. The restaurants are over-priced and serve up substandard food. If you insist on eating in a casino, which is hardly a classy place to dine, go over to Circus, which is a 5 minute walk from Manchester235. Novelli has a restaurant there, so although you'll still be eating in a gambling den, at least you'll be eating great food.

Bad, overpriced food, served by waiters who would rather be elsewhere. Why throw money away here when there are 30 better restaurants within a 10 minute walk?

Like all of Manchester235, Linen is chaotic and unproffesional. Apparently the staff at the slightly backwater establishment are dragged in off the street, given 1 hour of training and turned loose on the unsuspecting public.

I'd say that Manchester235 is the worst managed place I've come across, and the restraunt is a reflection of that. There are much better meals to be had in Manchester for a lot less money.
