Found this lovely little restaurant by chance after getting off the Supertram to go shopping in Hillsborough. Friendly staff and delicious food all made there and then. Next to bus station too, so very easy to visit.

Lots of choice and all served promptly with a smile.

Would advise anyone to give it a try... small enough to be intimate but large enough to cater for groups.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Went on 10/12/2011 in party of 15, pre-booked for 7:30PM.

The first few starters arrived at around 9PM, mains around 9:30PM - 9:45PM. Had to send some food back, as it was cold and it appeared to be being delivered from the kebab shop down the road. Later sighting of the man behind the counter in said shop confirmed this!

We finally left at around 10:45PM, having to wait again for deserts. The restaurant was freezing cold only possessing an oil-fired radiator on wheels, which wasn't switched on.

All in all a dreadfully overpriced rip-off. Have been before and it was OK, so avoid party bookings at all costs, they can't handle it.

A large party of 14 of us went to celebrate my friend's hen do.

We were greeted on arrival and seated upstairs. We all arrived separately so our drinks were orders as each of us arrived. Then when we were all there the waiter took our orders.

We had bought vouchers so any starter and main was just 15 pounds including 1 drink.

Yes we had to wait a while for our food, but it was being cooked to order! When the food was served it was all together, and apart from someone wanting a medium steak to be taken back and made well done (which it was and brought back within minutes) everything was great tasting hot and plentiful.

At the end of the meal the waiter surprised the hen with a cocktail and rendition of "going to the chapel". Amazing, lovely of him.

The whole evening was great from the food to the decor to the staff. I will definitely return.

Great place and people and most of all really great food and lots of choice.

Came for a birthday. Waited an hour for table, which wasn't really a problem because we all wanted to sit together. We had poppadoms for starters followed by a mixed starter.

Then when an hour later we were waiting for mains they all came slap dash. Curry arrived then we waited 10 minutes for rice. By that time the curry was cold! My boyfriend was still waiting for his - they'd forgot the tandoori chicken - then when it arrived 15 minutes later it was raw!

This is the worst place I have been. The staff were so unhelpful and couldn't be bothered at all. Never again and I will be telling all I know how bad the food and service is.

Shame on you all.

Just been to Barretts Bistro for lunch and must say it was absolutely delicious. I had roasted quail in creamed leeks and my friend had mackerel with potatoes. Both had ham terrine and pickle to start and the desserts are to die for. Chocolate brownie and apple crumble, huge portions, just have one to share. More than enough.

The bistro is very welcoming and the staff are really friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely go again.

The prices are very reasonable for the food, which is out of this world.

Go and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Having visited this restaurant in person to book a meal for 14 people I have had simply the worst experience with an owner/manager that I have ever had.

Initially he stated he would only take a booking for 5PM on a Saturday for that number, then he said we would need to sit at 4 different tables, as he wouldn't sort a larger table and we would need to be out by 7PM. Then when he realised that I wasn't happy with his "I don't want your business" offer, he stated that he would ensure we were at different corners of his restaurant.

Quite frankly the rudest and most arrogant restaurateur I have ever met. I would not book at this restaurant on principle now, regardless of the quality of his food.

We ate there last night and had an excellent meal. We had chicken and chorizo salad, and black pudding for starter. Then a steak and prawn surf and turf and Moroccan lamb.

All the food was tasty, delicious and fresh and cooked in an open kitchen, so you can see your food being cooked.

Couple of points to note. Although the restaurant is fully licensed, on Saturday night you can bring your own wine and we weren't charged for corkage! Also, you can only pay with cash, no cards.

The best meal we've had out in a while!

Went to the Rib Shack in Sheffield last night and had one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time.

Great food and lovely service, my friend & I had different meals & she loved hers, too.

We had bought a Groupon voucher for £10 and got £35 to spend on food, just brilliant.

I'd definitely go again, couldn't fault it.

My daughter asked to go to Felicini for a celebration following her graduation. We had eaten there before and had a good time.

The place was heaving with a sprinkling of staff running around like blue a**ed flies. Drinks took over half an hour to arrive, with some of our party of nine left thirsty, requiring intervention on 2 occasions to quench our thirst.

Starters took another half an hour, again with one person overlooked. The garlic prawns were stone cold - we still don't know if that was deliberate.

2 hours after arriving we still didn't have our main courses and when they did arrive, they were all unacceptably cold.

The staff were all working hard, polite and apologetic but in the end we had to get up and leave (the first time I have ever done that in my life). We decamped to Pizza Express down the road and had a really good time.

The single star is for the staff who were working like Trojans.

They wouldn't let us eat our celebration cake that we took down, as we presumed it wouldn't be a problem and was promptly told (before we had even sat down) they don't allow cakes, as they want you to buy a pudding from them.

Then when we had several conversations with the assistant manager, manager and then owner who was summoned down (I think he was at home) a little drastic. He proceeded to tell us it was because his insurance didn't cover us to eat brought in cake and if we ate it and got food poisoning we could sue him, which I have to say is very, very extreme.

They also need to make sure all the staff know the same reasons as the different excuses just made us even more suspicious of them. We suggested they put this on their website.

Didn't spoil the evening but our party of 10 definitely won't go again.

Looked good from outside, very professional. Then we walked inside... it looked like an ordinary pub with China paintings on the wall, very poor effort.

The food was the worst and the most over priced I have had in Sheffield. I had spring rolls costing £4 and I got two small pieces. The filling was supposed to be mixed vegetables, it only had in it mung beans.

I had chicken satay costing £9 and there were 3 pieces of chicken tossed with onions, peppers and drenched in oil. No sign of peanut sauce.

We also had egg fried rice and chicken and sweet corn soup. All were tasteless.

If you want bland, over priced food then come to this place.

Disappointed. Staff not very welcoming. Food was expensive and we left still feeling hungry. Won't be visiting again. Also the interior was a little cafeteria-like.

I had my first Balti King meal this Saturday and must say it was the most sublime Indian, if not overall restaurant experience I have had in a very long time.

We had not booked and were rather worried by how busy the restaurant appeared when we entered. Nonetheless we were warmly greeted by several sharply-dressed waiters who, despite being clearly run off their feet, took the time to usher us to a well set and comfortable table within seconds of entering.

Our drinks order was taken promptly, menus were distributed and a plate of poppadoms and delicious sauces were laid on the table for us to snack on. The extensive menu, catering to literally any taste, took us a few moments to ponder over before we decided upon a madras for myself and a milder balti for my wife.

No doubt the restaurant was very busy, and it is by no means a large building, however both downstairs and upstairs are so eloquently decorated, the ambiance so relaxing and the staff so friendly and inviting we felt as though the whole night was catered around us.

The food was served in very reasonable time and I could, if I wanted, think of endless positive superlatives with which to describe it. The curry was a perfect balance of spice and flavour, taste and texture. It was clear that everything had been made fresh to order, the nan bread in particular I have no doubt had come straight out of the oven and onto the plate.

All in all Balti King ticked all the boxes for a brilliant night out, comprising first rate food, service, atmosphere and value. We will certainly be back again and I urge anyone else out there to give it a try!

Sunday night's buffet was very poor. I have been many times but will be going elsewhere in future.

Our crowd (around 10 people) have been going to this pub fairly regularly for drinks on Saturdays. We will definitely not be re-visiting, as we found that a small bottle of slimline tonic is £2.40. I know prices have gone up but this taking the mickey, especially as the service is not particularly quick.

Asked to leave part way through a meal as Patoo had rebooked the table!

Last night I took my girlfriend to Patoo for a meal she’d organised for a group of her friends. I decided to have a take away. I ordered spring rolls, chicken red curry and rice.

Back at home, being out of the restaurant environment, I found myself looking at my meal – a very small starter, the wrong main course (with a small amount of chicken and lots of watery sauce), and rice and thinking that’s an expensive take away for £15. I wondered what they were thinking about theirs.

At the restaurant, during the meal my girlfriend's group of 5 were struggling to get the staff to refresh their glasses, as the wine had not been left by the table. This is the opposite of the problem we’ve had before in Patoo, where virtually every passing staff member wants to top your glass up. You might not think this would be an issue but if you are driving and need to keep track of how much you’ve had it had become more than irritating on past visits. Normally my girlfriend and her friends would get through 3 or 4 bottles of wine through an evening with a meal, but due to lack of interest by the staff they only got through 2 and were left sitting with empty glasses for long periods of time until they went and retrieved the bottle and put it on their table.

After around 90 minutes, they had enjoyed their starters and main courses, and were expecting the dessert menu when a member of staff came over and said they would be bringing them the bill as they had to leave as Patoo had booked another group of 6 in for the same table! No desserts, no coffees - you’ve got to go! When one of the group asked where they were supposed to go for their desserts and coffees (there is no lounge at Patoo) the staff member gave them the names of several local bars and said they could try there!

Well, many people would have meekly paid up and left, but this group of 5 very unhappy teachers made it plain that leaving part way through a meal was not an acceptable option. Desserts and coffees were eventually provided and not a single member of staff visited the table again for the next hour.

The unhappy group made their feeling known to the manager and left - no tip of course. A verbal apology was given but no effort to make up for trying to throw them out part way through their meal. The manager said that the group they had booked the table for had not actually turned up, so one can only speculate what would have happened if they had.

End result - 6 people who will never visit Patoo again, and are telling their other friends not to bother, either.

Ordered take away food. Was superb, staff very helpful and friendly. Will be going again - soon I hope!

I have got to say a massively disagree with the last review.

First of all the waitress could not be more friendlier and efficient, the food is always top standard, and never had any complaints in the past few years I have been going.

Yeah fair enough the decor is a bit dated but doesn't by far put you of you food.

Prices are really fair compared to some other Italians I have visited and the fact you can take your own wine is a bonus and keeps the price low.

All in all this is a top restaurant, with the staff and food and it proves that with how busy it is.
