East Ocean Cafe (City Centre) - James Warner - 11th October 2005
Rating: (Not rated - review added before star ratings introduced.)
Found this restaurant on the top of Matilda Street near The Moor and have since been three times and each experience has been excellent. It is a known as a fusion restaurant as it has Thai, Chinese and Japanese cuisine. At first, I wondered how it would work but the combinations of having sushi for starters with a Thai salad and your mains consisting of sizzling steak and Thai Red Curry is very appetizing. My group of friends were all very pleased with the service and atmosphere and this is how a restaurant should be. Give it a try!

Seasons Bistro (Sharrow) - Glyn Jones - 5th October 2005

A newly opened restaurant serving modern British cuisine at very low prices. The food is excellent, and the serving style of food is to the highest standards with very good sized portions. Staff service is also excellent. A good night out for your money - well recommended.

Upmarket, wonderful food (it's organic), great location and place, perfect jazz, conclusive champagne and wine list... If you're looking for something special in Sheffield/North Derbyshire, this is the place without doubt!

I have been going to this place for the last 15 years and I'm still going! Very welcoming and professional, but horrible waist-coats. I really enjoy Indian food and in the past I've got to eat at a lot of them up and down the country due to work commitments and you'd be hard pressed to beat Ashoka. Just try one dish if you go - the Kashmiri lamb bhuna - absolutely divine! It is more expensive though than a normal Indian meal. CUT YOUR PRICES!

Casanova Pizzeria Ristorante (Crookes) - Rachel Brown - 8th September 2005

My most favourite restaurant! From a quiet night out to a celebration evening, we always end up there. The chilli garlic bread is to die for. The steak is always melt-in-the-mouth and the pasta dishes are cooked to perfection. A lovely, friendly atmosphere with staff that are always eager to please! Try it, you won't regret it.

Taste (Hunters Bar) - Frank Jones - 25th August 2005

Wow! I have been to this place quite a lot; in fact you could call me a regular. Very fond of it. The bacon and sausages are always of the highest quality, as are the eggs. The proprietor Jamie Bosworth strives for perfection.
A 5 star brekkie caff, although the last time my eggs were just a little overdone and needed to be a little more over easy time please.

East One Noodle Bar (City Centre) - Amy - 11th August 2005

I must complain about this restaurant and warn people! The food is mediocre, but what bothered me was that they didn't give us any tap water when we asked them for it. The waitress told us that on the menu, it is clearly shown that they don't give free water... Thanks for reading my petty complaint but I had to say something...

Ask Pizza & Pasta (City Centre) - Lydia Thompson - 8th July 2005

A group of us went to ASK Pizza & Pasta for my hen party, and we had a really great time. The food was excellent, no complaints from any of us fussy eaters! The lighting also made for a really nice atmosphere, and on top of all that it was very reasonably priced!

Cubana (City Centre) - Ben Foulds - 14th June 2005

This restaurant came highly recommended to me from various people, and not wanting to miss out, I decided it was time to sample the taste of Spain at this ideally placed restaurant just on the edge of the city centre.
The initial welcome was warm and the layout inviting. The service was initially very good, however, once the food came it was down hill from there. We had a Tapas set menu as recommended which came in stages, which I can understand as it was lots of small portions. I was quite surprised that the rice accompaniment came just as we were finishing our meal though.
Once finished we waited just under half an hour for our table to be cleared, and even then she did it in two stages with a fifteen minute gap. It then took a further fifteen minutes to order some drinks which we eventually went up to the bar to order as our waitress seemed intent on spending the rest of the evening speaking to some regulars who were frequenting the area near the bar.
As our long awaited drinks finally arrived, to top the evening off, the tea had lipstick marks around the rim. These were quite clear despite the waitress deciding to hold it up to the light and look puzzled upon our request to take it away and not bother with a replacement.
Notice how the previous review did not mention the food, this is maybe because it was bland, uninteresting and in some cases just plain bad. I wish this was a better experience for us as it's nice to know restaurants that are just that bit different and exciting, but unfortunately this was far from an exciting evening. If you want good food and something a bit different, steer clear of here and get to WasabiSabi.

Vito's Italian Restaurant (Walkley) - Sonny - 10th May 2005
Rating: (Not rated - review added before star ratings introduced.)
This is a small friendly Italian restaurant. My partner and I have eaten here quite a few times now and loved every meal. They do something to suite every palate: pasta, chicken, prawns you name it they do it.
We have never managed a pudding, as we are that full from the main meal. I would fully recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice quiet night out with friendly staff to wait on you.

Cunninghams (City Centre) - Alexander Harris - 29th March 2005
Rating: (Not rated - review added before star ratings introduced.)
Lovely, old fashioned hotel dining. The room is beautiful in a Victorian style, high ceilings and general design. The food was very good and the service attentive but not over bearing. The bill for two of us was just over £50 with wine and good value for money. There was plenty of parking, which is rare in town nowadays. Would recommend for a special occasion or romantic dinner.

Ma Potters (Meadowhall Shopping Centre) - Carolyn Horbury - 16th March 2005
Rating: (Not rated - review added before star ratings introduced.)
Whilst over in England visiting family we went to Meadowhall and had lunch at Ma Potters. We were greeted at the door and shown to a table. Our order was promptly taken even though the place was packed out. We waited 20 minutes for our order, which is well within the waiting time for main course. It was beautiful I could not fault the meal or the service at all. I cannot wait for my next visit to England and Ma Potters.

Mediterranean (Sharrow) - Howard Beattie - 24th December 2004

I have, at long last, found a wonderful place to take my daughters to eat freshly prepared, wholesome food. The fish deserves a special mention. It has always been cooked to perfection and I recommend the Turbot or Brill without hesitation. The front of house welcome and service have always been of a high standard.

Each time I visit La Vida Loca it gets better and better. The food is spot on and the service is excellent. It has a brilliant atmosphere. The food is presented in a really attractive way, and the plates and tableware are colourful and make the food even more attractive. 10/10 for this restaurant, it never fails to impress! You must try it.

What an excellent restaurant. We have been as a couple and as part of a party, and each time the atmosphere is great, staff wonderful and friendly, and the food is fantastic. We can't get enough of the place!

Chez La Lou (Steel Bank) - Nat - 8th November 2004

This French restaurant is fab. It's only small but the food is out of this world. You don't need to order a starter because you get so many complimentary bits to try, from chicken wings in the most delicious of marinades to a mixture of French breads. The lobster is delicious too, and well worth a try. You also get dishes full of potatoes and vegetables served with your main course. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and they make your time there very pleasant. My husband and I can't wait to go again to try something else on the menu. Book early as this restaurant gets booked weeks in advance.

Baan Thai (City Centre) - Sarah Brisco - 8th November 2004

We went there on Saturday evening for the very first time. As with anywhere good, booking is essential. There are 100 seats in a very beautifully decorated restaurant. The food and the service were fantastic. We were both spoilt for choice and it was very good value for money.
However there was one downfall: we booked for 9:30PM and when we were walking up to the restaurant we could see a large number of people outside. I assumed the fire alarm had gone off. It turned out that the 30 or so people outside were queuing to get in, as they too had booked for 9:30PM. It took 45 minutes for us to be seated. It was 11:45 when we left the restaurant and therefore we had to flag a taxi down to get home as the buses had stopped running. Made the night out unduly expensive. We will go again but try an earlier time.

La Scala (Millhouses) - Karen Vardey - 25th October 2004
Rating: (Not rated - review added before star ratings introduced.)
Appalling; wouldn't recommend anyone to ever eat there. The fresh tuna was tinned and the waiter didn't deny it, the veggie main course contained fish, but the waiter said it was a mushroom, since when have mushrooms ever tasted of fish? The mixed seafood risotto contained prawns, and the rice was hard.
We received no apology from the waiter or the manager, and thoroughly disappointed in the service and food.

Mediterranean (Sharrow) - Sallianne - 14th September 2004
Rating: (Not rated - review added before star ratings introduced.)
The Mediterranean is a gem of a restaurant that Sheffield has hidden. Booking advisable as very popular and you'll know why once you have visited. A taxi is advised, as parking can be a problem. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy the service did not falter one bit.
A small fronted restaurant, but do not let this put you off. An extremely un-stuffy atmosphere where smart-but-casual is adequate rather than a suit. A pre-drink seating area whilst looking over the extensive menu. A large blackboard adorns one wall where daily specials are listed in abundance. My husband and I then opted for the lobster, where the manager asked if we would like to pick our live lobster ourselves. Declining his invitation we said that his choice would be fine. What magnificent lobsters and presentation. I cannot fault this restaurant in the slightest and I have eaten in many as well as having owned restaurants.
After finishing our huge meal we called over the manager to notify him of our delight and to inform him that in fact we had only been married a week and this was a highlight. The manager suddenly disappeared and came out with two chilled glasses of champagne to toast our marriage. I could go on and on, if you are visiting Sheffield for whatever reason or passing through, do stop and sample the 5-star cuisine at this very under-stated restaurant. We intend to go to the away match later this year, not only to see Bristol City hopefully win but to stay overnight just to sample this cuisine and lovely atmosphere again. Do go.

Little India (Gleadless) - Sandra Malby - 4th August 2004

Little India at Gleadless Townend is one of the best and authentic eateries outside of Bradford. Very small but pleasant, attentive staff, always willing to accommodate dishes not printed on the menu. Very good portion sizes (I always have to have a doggy bag and there's enough for the next day). The quality and flavours are exceptional. So nice not to have to go into town or out of town to find a very good curry!!
The delivery service is great, you are told a time and so far it has been delivered at that time, piping hot and at reasonable prices.
Try the chicken tikka saag (not on the menu).
