Viva Tequila (Gleadless) - Kay Thorpe - 6th February 2012
Rating:

Went on a Sunday night for my granddaughter's 21st birthday. It was a party of 11 and a very special occasion. The staff were miserable and there was no atmosphere.

The food was good but the total bill was very expensive. We took a birthday cake but were told we could not eat it on the premises.

Would not recommend it and will not go there again. It used to be so much better with a party atmosphere. Been many times in the past and spent millennium there. Very disappointed.


Rowsha (Walkley) - Kanchan Chopra - 5th February 2012
Rating:

The food, wine and coffee was absolutely delicious. The service was good.

It was cold though and we moved after our starters to a warmer spot - just near the heater.

Will definitely go back as soon as possible - hopefully when it isn't as cold.


Wong Ting (City Centre) - Claire - 1st February 2012
Rating:

Wong Ting is a lovely restaurant. The food is really nice, so Natasha is wrong, I have been going there for years and never had a problem with the service or the food. And I am English and the staff are really nice there.


Vito's Italian Restaurant (Walkley) - Alessio - 31st January 2012
Rating:

I am Italian, I can say never had a good meal as good as Vito's, just fantastico! Vito go back to Italy you do well.

Grazie mille Vito and staff.


Street Food Chef (City Centre) - Michael Dopson - 31st January 2012
Rating:

These burritos are the best! It's all freshly made in-house so everything is tasty, healthy and seems really authentic.

They have different degrees of spicy sauces so chiliheads can be satisfied (a.k.a. me!). I brought my kids and the chefs had a children's version that has no spice to it. They loved it!

Oh and I tried their breakfast burrito last week. It's now my favourite thing on the menu. Yummy!


La Gondola (City Centre) - Amy - 31st January 2012
Rating:

The worst restaurant ever. The food seems to be heated in the microwave, it's really overpriced by the quality you get. The house wine, as I have been to Italy and saw the same brand costs just 3 pounds and is sold for 12 pounds!

The food was cold and with meat inside (even though I specified that I wanted a vegetarian dish).

I would never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone, and there are like 20 restaurants around with better food quality and better service for the same price.

Never gonna go back.


Uncle Sam's (Ecclesall) - Jeanette Hague - 29th January 2012
Rating:

We have just come home from a very unpleasant visit to this restaurant. We live in Sheffield and have been meaning to go for a while, we are a family of four (with 2 young children), we are not overly fussy people and I have never felt compelled to write a review before but this place is as bad as it gets on all counts.

Staff - need a reality check they are there to provide a friendly "service" not prance around like we are an inconvenience. I can honestly say they were in the main rude, arrogant and ignorant.

Toilets - Not great

Food - appalling my burger was underdone, sloppy and cold. My husband had ribs, which were mainly fat. The kids had chicken nuggets, which were OK.

Our side order was forgotten and when we enquired it was dumped on the table a few minutes later with the attitude again.

We were not greeted as we came in, we were not looked after while we were there and not thanked as we left.

I can only imagine that this place is trading on location and a bygone reputation - bottom line my advice is don't go.


Platillos Bar & Restaurant (City Centre) - Mark Robinson - 29th January 2012
Rating:

This was my first experience of Platillos and it wasn't a very good one. It took almost 20 minutes just to order drinks after being seated, which they mixed up and sent us Jameson's with apple juice rather than cranberry juice as ordered.

When when we finally did order we were waiting over 20 minutes for starters, but as half the table ordered items of tapas for both their starter and main course the kitchen sent everything all at once. The people who ordered a traditional starter and main course were then waiting over 30 minutes for their meals, while those who had tapas had finished their meal. We specified which items of tapas were to be as starters, and which to be brought as main courses when ordered with the waitresses so this was disappointing.

The food was under-seasoned and the red mullet came out cold and when sent it back they didn't replace with a new serving but just microwaved the original. As I am a chef myself I was shocked about this.

The food as a whole was not hot, and was kept waiting under the hot lights for long periods of time before being brought to the table. We ordered more drinks, which again were brought incorrectly.

No apology was offered for the mistakes that were made, and we were made to feel as though were were just being awkward customers.

The bill was over £130 for 4 people, which for the service and poor quality food we received, we felt was overpriced.

There were more issues, which we raised with the staff at the time of the meal, but we hope this gives you a feel of the experience we had.


Kashmiri Aroma (Woodseats) - Karen Ann Hockney - 28th January 2012
Rating:

We went to the Kashmiri Aroma for the first time last night and were very impressed. The restaurant itself is very nice and spacious. The staff were very attentive and friendly and we were not waiting long for our meal, despite it being a busy Friday evening.

The meal was of an excellent quality & the nicest Indian meal we have had for a very long time. We will definitely be visiting this restaurant again in the very near future!


La Taverna di Ferdinando (Greenhill) - Ailling - 26th January 2012
Rating:

Went just before Christmas. Booked a table a week before the intended date. On the day of going to the restaurant I checked that everything was OK. They had no recollection of my phone booking, however they said that it was OK to come along.

Arrived at the restaurant and explained the conversation I had earlier in the day. The looks on their faces showed they weren't expecting us, but a table was found and we were shown to it. 10 minutes had passed no one had been to the table either to give us a menu or ask if we wanted any drinks.

Eventually we managed to obtain some drink. 20 minutes later, after asking numerous times, a menu was obtained. A further 15 minutes had passed before anyone came to take our order.

This poor service carried out all evening. Whilst the food was good the service was very poor.

The manager did offer his apologies but became very abusive when he asked had I enjoyed myself. I said the food was good, however the service was poor. His response was like I have never ever encountered.

So I would suggest if you like to wait a very long time to be served and be subjected to verbal abuse this is the right place to go to. I would rather go somewhere that knows how to provide a dinning out experience and values the customer, unlike this restaurant and its owner.


Barrett's Bistro (Beauchief) - Allison Ball - 22nd January 2012
Rating:

Disappointing and expensive. If you're paying £18 for a main course I think you should at least get vegetables with it and not have to pay an additional £3.50 for each portion of veg.

Fish of the day was smoked trout, which obviously means it wasn't caught that day was it. The bristle from a pasting brush in my cheese souffle starter was a bit of a surprise, too, as was the fact that the price of the starter hadn't been taken off the bill.

Atmosphere-wise it was OK, though it felt a bit cramped, and the music sounded like the chef had a radio on in the kitchen!


Spoon (Woodseats) - Ann Firth - 19th January 2012
Rating:

Modern British cuisine, well cooked, friendly service, pleasant atmosphere without pretensions. What's not to like? Woodseats/Beauchief has needed somewhere like Spoon for ages. P.S. the treacle tart is divine!


Great Gatsby (City Centre) - Anna K - 18th January 2012
Rating:

A really great place for a wind-down after work. The decor is relaxing and comfortable, with assorted vintage furniture and a scattering of small tables. The music is always just right, without the blaring noise which makes conversation impossible at the Harley or even the Old House.

I love the wide selection of cocktails, which are delicious and served in an eclectic assortment of vintage glasses.

I had food there once, and it was delicious and fresh, but the portions were snack- rather than meal-sized. I just learnt yesterday (16/01/2012) that their chef had left though, so what the Gatsby has to offer in the food department remains to be seen.

Highly recommended hang out!


Flouch Inn (Hazlehead) - Les C - 18th January 2012
Rating:

What a find! A fine restaurant - the best of its kind that we visit!

Long may it prosper, it is a credit to the manager and staff!


Canton Orchard (Ranmoor) - Les C - 18th January 2012
Rating:

A visit to this restaurant is a bit like the curate's egg - good in parts. The starter platter was excellent but the crispy duck pancakes were a disappointment. Not crispy duck as we knew it. However the rest of the meal was tasty and despite some of our reservations we enjoyed it.

The experience was affected by the staff being so busy that drinks orders were forgotten and wine undelivered until reordered. Although the evening was passable I cannot wax lyrical as some reviewers do. Neither can I report some of the extremely negative responses of others.

Suffice to say I would not drive across the city to dine here again but I thank the manager and staff for the efforts, which just fell short of the mark!


Aagrah (City Centre) - Annie - 17th January 2012
Rating:

Amazing food and service, I have eaten at many Indians and this is by far the best I have had.

Lovely surroundings and attentive staff, I have been many times already and will without a doubt go back in the future. I have recommended to many of my friends, who share my enthusiasm for this lovely restaurant.

I would also recommend the raspberry mojito!

Definitely worth a visit!


Arena Square (Attercliffe) - Julie Thornton - 15th January 2012
Rating:

A tasteless pile of chips and stodgy 'packet'-tasting lasagne for me, plus a very poor Sunday roast for my sister. This was not the lovely birthday meal I had wanted for her.

I have given a star for the staff, who were very pleasant and attentive.

Needless to say I won't be taking anyone there ever again.


Dhanistha (Sharrow) - Tony Illingworth - 15th January 2012
Rating:

As with the comment made in the other 1-star review, I would add that the service was very, very poor, and very slow. Food was below average. Tables not cleared away.

Made a transport cafe seem like the Ritz. Save your money and go some where else.


Bay of Bengal (Gleadless) - Elsa MacPherson - 14th January 2012
Rating:

Perfect as usual and lovely, friendly, helpful staff who carried my take away to the car for me.


Mamma Mia Pepe (Hillsborough) - Christine Booth - 14th January 2012
Rating:

We recently visited this restaurant on recommendation and we were not disappointed.

It is a small, family-run business with an open kitchen, and the food is cooked to order from fresh. The food itself is reasonably priced and the portions are quite ample.

You are allowed to take your own wine but there is a small corkage fee to pay, which is £3.50 per bottle.

Overall it was an enjoyable evening and we will definitely be returning.

Date of visit: 13/01/2012
