Runyon’s Restaurant at Hotel Brooklyn
“One evening I am sitting in Mindy’s restaurant putting on the gefilte fish, which is a dish I am very fond of, when in come three parties from Brooklyn – Harry the Horse, Little Isadore and Spanish John.”
Runyon married a down-on-her-luck Spanish countess from Madrid, 26 years his younger, who turned out to be an up-on-her-heels Mexican dancer from Tampico. When he died his ashes were taken up in a plane and sprinkled all over New York.

The food wasn’t great but the service was good and staff were friendly
Brilliant night at Runyon's. Staff were great and food was fab.
Thanks Sarah really kind of you to say TEAM RUNYONS
Was a good meal would go again and would recommend. Steak was good but next time I will have the burger as it looks immense

Dear Anon, We're so pleased you enjoyed your special occasion in Runyons Restaurant and thank you for all your kind words about the team and especially Peter who looked after you. We look forward to your return very soon. TAKE CARE TEAM RUNYONS
The staff were some of the best staff I have ever had the pleasure of. Both the restaurant and hotel staff were fabulous and so helpful. The food was wonderful, drinks lovely. My only criticism and the only reason I wouldn’t return to the restaurant is that the music is just far too loud for me. Not bad but just too loud, couldn’t hear myself think and sadly it spoilt what was otherwise fabulous.
Lovely place, lovely atmosphere, great food and the staff were polite, friendly and very welcoming. We had a fab afternoon!
Dear Roxanne, Thank you for all your kind words and compliments about Runyons and your Hotel Brooklyn experience. So pleased and looking forward to your return sometime soon. ALL THE BEST TEAM RUNYONS
Service and food here are the best , due to current Covid restrictions it was very quiet so like a private dining experience we loved it !
Dear Michelle, Thank you for all your kind words about your Runyons experience. We are so pleased you were happy as are we. Looking forward to seeing you back with us soon TAKE CARE TEAM RUNYONS
Really tasty, interesting food. Loved the dj's set, although it was a bit loud to be able to hold a conversation. Great service from all the staff. Quite surprised how busy it was considering it's a hotel restaurant.
Dear Sarah, Thanks so much for all your kind words. Runyons quickly became a place to visit which were delighted about and sorry if the Resident DJ was a bit loud and creates a great ambience. Thanks for highlighting our vegetarian and vegan credentials it is appreciated. TAKE CARE and see you soon TEAM RUNYONS
The food was fabulous!
The drinks being served was slow
Quite quiet due to Covid, we were sat near the kitchen which I’d rather not thanks, the lighting was a tab bright for me.
We had brunch & it was good value.
Dear Kelly, Thank you and for your advice so next time we can get everything absolutely spot on for you. Looking forward to your return post the current restrictions when I'm sure we will be way more busier. TEAM RUNYONS
From being greeted at the restaurant to leaving the service was impeccable. Each staff member was so friendly and helpful. Sarah our server couldn’t do enough for us. The food was spot on and very well presented. Definitely booking here again.
Dear Rachel, Great feedback thank you especially for highlighting Sarah for providing such memorable service it is appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you back with us on return TAKE CARE TEAM RUNYONS
A lovely bottomless brunch. A delay between 1st and 2nd course but soon rectified and service was lovely and had a very enjoyable experience!
Dear Nicola, Thank you for all your kind words we really appreciate it and look forward to your return. Its quiet at present but when things get back to normal we will already be working even harder to turn ensure you get a 5 star experience in all areas. TAKE CARE and thank you once again Team Runyons
Top class service, food was amazing and good value. Staff can’t do enough for you.

Brilliant service, lovely food!
Ahh thanks Anon we only wish we knew who wrote it. take care and see you soon TEAM RUNYONS
The staff were so pleasant. I had the Brooklyn afternoon tea and it was lovely. Plenty of food and it was all tasty. I asked for a Baileys coffee to be made in a specific way and it was made perfectly.
Dear SudsP, Thank you for all you've written about Hotel Brooklyn and your Runyons dining experience it is appreciated. Hope to see you back soon celebrating with us again TAKE CARE TEAM RUNYONS
Bottomless brunch was great but the advertised "free-flowing food" is a little deceptive. You can only pick 3 items off the menu so not "Bottomless" as you are led to believe. Drinks are free-flowing though which is great value for money.
Be careful with breakfast. When the food finally arrived it was standard fair. However due to the new COVID guidelines this is now table service (which is fine) but our order was lost and we had to remind staff twice that we hadn't had food. It arrived 40 minutes after we ordered it and the plate I had been given was the plate that had been sat on the Pass for 25 minutes so had to be sent back as eggs were like bullets.
I would gladly give them another chance as the staff were great.
Should be buzzing once covid restrictions get lifted. Nice decor, ambiance and food. We were looked after by Peter who was great. A credit to the establishment, sold us on the hotel too.
Dear Ealing, Totally agree thank you. Yes the current restrictions are a challenge presently but neccesary. Will pass on the kind comments about Pete too. ALL THE BEST and SEE YOU SOON TEAM RUNYONS
Fabulous food and drinks. Staff were amazing, so polite and helpful. Will definitely be returning !
Dear Rachel, Thanks so much for all your kind comments and rating it is appreciated and hope to see you back very soon. TAKE CARE Team Runyons
Myself and my partner visited here mid day and really enjoyed it.
The bottomless brunch was good value for money.
The service could have bene better however as we didn't have that many drinks as I usually would get at other bottomless brunches I've been too.
Aside from that, the food was great and social distancing measures were met.
Loved it! What a fab value for money that brunch is, 3 food dishes and free flowing alcohol, what more can you ask for!
The service was fantastic from the second we walked in the door, our waitress couldn't do enough for us, we really had a wonderful time!
We will absolutely be back!!
Dear Michelle, Thank you so much its appreciated and I know the whole team enjoyed having you here with us. All the very best and don't be a stranger TEAM RUNYONS
Quirky calm relaxed central location.
Friendly staff, social distancing and hygiene very good

Simple menu, but amazing food. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked that I ordered. My other half had the beef and said it fell off the bone. Highly recommend and we will be back soon.
Dear Alicia, What a lovely review thank you and so pleased you really enjoyed your stay with us it is really appreciated. Looking forward to your return sometime soon. Kind regards TEAM RUNYONS

Dear Jess, So kind thank you!! Team Runyons really appreciate it and we look forward to your return very soon. All the best Team Runyons
Superb food could not fault.service was excellent Chloe was very helpful
Dear Ross, Great review thanks so much smashing to read and a big shout out to Chloe and the team for their efforts. We appreciate it. See you soon. Team Runyons
There were two tables including ourselves having the bottomless brunch on Saturday - the food we received seemed pre prepared - poached eggs were over cooked and hard, and pancakes seemed to have been microwaved as hard at the edges. Only little pointers, but overall the value for money was incredible. Would be good if a cocktail option was offered in the drinks menu alongside Prosecco and wine. Would suggest to visit as there are about 10 food options to choose from!
Dear Mel, Thanks so much we appreciate the feedback as it spurs us on to ever improve. Thank you for you feedback. Team Runyons
Booked as a little birthday celebration and the offer we had booked gave us £40 vouchers to use at the hotel, so we booked a bottomless brunch which is £25pp..... and used these vouchers towards that, so in essence only cost us £10.
Wow!!!!
Such good value and amazing quality - cannot fault it!!
Our waitress was Sue and she was quite frankly, bloody lovely!!!
She looked after us from the moment we walked in and was warm and welcoming, she fully explained the process to us and was so attentive that we never had to ask for any food or drink.... she was aware when we had finished our drinks and came and refreshed them without us needing to ask, plates were cleared promptly and food orders taken.
We didn’t feel rushed or ignored and I honestly couldn’t recommend this enough!!
Rooms are beautiful and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable and I would definitely return and stay here again!
Great little hotel
Dear Victoria, Thank you so much your feedback is really appreciated especially where you highlight how much you enjoyed the Bottomless Brunch and the way our team looked after you. We look forward to your return TAKE CARE Team Runyons
This was a really pleasant surprise, the restaurant was located within the Brooklyn Hotel which in itself is awesome. The food was of very high standard with excellent service. Cool and very trendy place in Manchester.
Dear Jim, Thank you for ALL your kind words and custom it is appreciated and of course we look forward to your return sometime soon ALL THE BEST Team Runyons

Superkind thanks for all the kind words and so pleased you enjoyed yourselves Team Runyons
The food was amazing,
The service was absolutely first class ,
The music / DJ was fantastic.
We will be back.
Dear Caroline, Many thanks top marks for team Runyons and some fab feedback from a big but very happy table. Thank you Runyons the team
The music was far too loud. The food was ok but expensive for what you get. Great service with happy staff but paying a £9 service charge on a £79 (we had lamb which just came with corn, fries, a burger and fries , 2 desserts and a bottle of wine) seems excessive especially as it's already added to the bill and not by choice. By far not an a la carte dining experience as we were expecting which is a shame as we loved the hotel.
Thanks Rebecca. We actually price our food against the restaurant market and we are what guests want us to be so we'll bear your thoughts in mind going forward. Don't worry we don't mind you not wanting to pay a service charge but its always good for the guys and dolls when guests and diners do
Fantastic food and service. DJ was on and we found the music too loud for whilst eating our meal. We had to shout to speak to each other (only a party of 2) and also the server had to as well.
Dear Anon, Thank you once again we appreciate your feedback and party of 2. Team Runyons
Excellent service received throughout our meal. Menus varied & offered good value for money for a hotel restaurant.
The restaurant had a great vibe - nicely decorated and the DJ created a great atmosphere - will definitely return!
Michelle you're so kind and tried us out breakfast, dinner and tea!! WE THANK YOU!!! Team Runyons
