Parthenonas (Highfield) - Janet Claydon - 28th April 2012

Rating:

Arrogant man served us, very rude and abrupt.

We had booked a table which wasn't ready for our booking, which had been made days in advance.

The food was OK, nothing to rave about, but half way through the meal they told us we had to move tables, as they had given another table away even though the party had booked theirs.

A night ruined by a very inconsiderate man (think he was the owner). He even chased the party out of the restaurant shouting at them as they left.

Won't go back.

Friendly staff, mouth watering food. Just lacked customers but I wasn't put off. Me and my mum had a nice girly dinner.

I felt compelled to write a review after reading these comments.

If you waste food, you deserve to be charged for it. We are grown up for God's sake. Even children know better than this.

Secondly, I have been coming here for over a year with my friends ans family and have always enjoyed the food and have found the staff have been very polite and attentive.

Keep up the good work!

Been going here for ages. We (the wife and I) promised ourselves that we would come once a month. That lasted about a minute. We go every Sunday, as the food is simply to die for, all the staff are friendly and willing to answer any question you may have. The ambient lighting is simply perfect and the prices are more than reasonable.

Overall a 10 out of 10 all round.

Mediterranean (Hunters Bar) - Laura - 20th April 2012

We ate at the Mediterranean last Tuesday night after a tiring 3 days away. It was relaxed, the food (various tapas cooked to our specification) was tasty - and the service great. We quickly congratulated ourselves on picking the "Med" as a place to unwind.

A previous reviewer suggests that the waiter was too busy chatting to a blonde to take their dessert order. The "blonde" in question was me and the person the waiter was chatting to, was my 75 year old recently bereaved father, who hasn't been to the restaurant for a while - and was incredibly touched to be remembered and made to feel so welcome.

The bream was fantastic, the whitebait fresh and crispy, the meatballs delicious. We were left for a while to contemplate dessert (always good not to be rushed) and finished off the night with a couple of mouthwatering desserts.

I went for a take away there. The food was excellent, staff were very helpful, and the price was very good, too. I would eat there again, 100%.

Mediterranean (Hunters Bar) - Michelle Webster - 17th April 2012

Booked a meal tonight for my wedding anniversary. Arrived and everything was going well - good atmosphere and good service.

Starters were very good, but then it went down hill very quickly. My meal overcooked - isn't fish supposed to just peel away from from the bone? And my husband's dish - monkfish tail - we would have been better over the road with a decent spicy sauce to the dish!

But we went on, trying to give benefit of the doubt, to find the waiter was more interested to chatting to a blonde than take our order of dessert/cheese and coffees, so we left. By this point we'd had enough.

I suggest they need to look at the quality of food being served and the service in general. We will not be going back in a hurry. So very disappointed.

Bar & Grill (City Centre) - Terry Wheatcroft - 15th April 2012

A party of four, we were booked for 8PM Saturday 14th April 2012.

Fish of the day was not available plus two other dishes. We ordered olives and bread for starters and we all had steaks as a main course, which took over 50 minutes to arrive. Should have had a watercress salad but this was substituted with beet leaves and rocket - about six leaves in total, hardly a salad.

The medium-to-well-done steaks were dry and looked as though they had been ready for a while. The chips were thick but not crisp and were full of grease.

We didn't complain, as we didn't have time to wait for re-cooking.

We were expecting live piano music but the music was recorded. The place was getting deserted by 10PM.

Buck up Bar & Grill, there are better places to eat with more atmosphere in Sheffield.

Hui Wei (City Centre) - Jenny - 11th April 2012

This is the best Chinese food I've ever had. It's fresh and cooked to order. It's true the service can be slow but get a starter! The lettuce wrap starter for 2 is just gorgeous.

My husband and I have been twice this week. My favourite dish is the tofu and beef dish. Mah-poh... or Mah-toh... something like that (sorry!).

I'm not a big meat eater because I don't like the chewy and tough texture it can have in restaurants and the meat here is perfectly tender. Had beef last time and pork this time.

Cannot wait to go again!

Wong Ting (City Centre) - Tom Boydell - 11th April 2012

Rating:

I eat here fairly often and I think that this is probably the best Chinese restaurant I have been to.

The so-called "buffet" is excellent value. I say "so-called" because unlike most buffets you do not go and help yourself. Rather you order as much as you like, as often as you like, from a very extensive menu, and the food is then cooked and delivered to your table. It is therefore fresh and not been waiting in self-service containers for a long time, as is so often the case.

There is also an extensive a la carte menu, some specials, and dim sum. You have to ask about the latter - the menu isn't on the table but is brought specially. It seems to be mainly for Chinese people but there are English translations.

For me the staff range from perfectly OK to brilliant.

Rowsha (Walkley) - Margaret Bell - 10th April 2012

Rating:

6 of us had a meal at Rowsha on bank holiday Monday.

We had vegetarians with us and were amazed by the choice of dishes for vegetarians and meat lovers alike.

The service was quick and extremely friendly and the food was varied and delicious. We were also given extra treats as we were celebrating our son's engagement. This was a lovely touch.

We found the atmosphere extremely friendly and helpful.

Deli Vita (City Centre) - Sarah Turner - 10th April 2012

Just had a delicious sandwich delivered. Made with the freshest ingredients - excellent service, too!

Speedy delivery to our business for a group of important visitors.

Highly recommend.

Thanks, Sarah

Chutney (Gleadless) - Petra Walker - 8th April 2012

Ordered takeaway. When it finally arrived it was barely lukewarm. Phoned to complain but they showed no interest or concern. Will not be ordering ever again.

Portofino (Heeley) - Steph Bowley - 7th April 2012

Rating:

We went to this restaurant a few nights ago, never been before but always wanted to.

The waiter was excellent, attentive without being annoying, very professional.

My husband had the calamari, which he said was lovely and I had for my main chicken in white wine sauce. Came with roast potatoes and vegetables, it was so tasty I am still thinking about that meal several days later!

I was expecting the interior to be over-lit and stark, as that's what other reviews I've read have said, but it was inviting, cosy and romantic.

Will definitely be going back!

La Dolce Vita (Crosspool) - Beverley Eaton - 5th April 2012

Rating:

I have been prompted to write this review as I have just read Martin Dawes' review of La Dolce Vita in the paper, and concur with him.

Six of us went to this restaurant last week, and afterwards said we would not be going again.

For a starter I had foccacio (one slice of bread) topped with four cherry tomatoes. The main course was worse - I ordered sole and salad. Salad consisted of half a bag of mixed leaves with a cherry tomato on top, with another bowl of mixed leaves as a side dish. The fish was not cooked - raw in one place. We were told that the sole shouldn't be overcooked - no apologies and no questions about whether we were satisfied with the meal.

The best part of the whole evening was the company, and take your own wine.

I live in the area, as do the other friends, and we will certainly not be going back. Our opinion was that it's over-priced, with poor-to-mediocre food on this occasion, and the service certainly could have been better.

Piccolino (City Centre) - Paul Twyford - 5th April 2012

Rating:

Visited this restaurant with my wife and friend who is a local businessman.

No problems with the table, post-main lunch session. Food was OK but not startlingly good considering prices.

One waiter was a little pushy. I only wanted salad but he kept trying to persuade me to have additional food.

Drinks were overpriced, particularly espresso coffee, 2 sips and it was gone, and £7 for a medium sized glass of pinot grigio.

Will not be returning.

Kinaara Family Cuisine (Darnall) - Sara Kahn - 3rd April 2012

Rating:

I was totally disappointed with the service I received today. The food was not fresh and many of the dishes were empty, despite the restaurant being relatively empty.

The head waiter could learn a thing or two about manners... I think that should give people a clue about the service level.

Cow And Calf (Grenoside) - Harry Hoing - 1st April 2012

Rating:

Very disappointing overall. The food used to be a lot better. The menu is a bit muddled.

I asked if every meal was available and was told it was, but the people in my party were told upon requesting different meals that certain meals were not available. Some ordered meals only to find out when they arrived they were different meals than what were on the menu.

Staff overall were not very professional, practically throwing drinks and change at you.

I don't think I will go again, or maybe once more just in case my recent visit was a one-off, but I don't really think so.

Jade Orient (Arbourthorne) - John David - 31st March 2012

Rating:

We tried this restaurant for the first time because our usual one was fully booked.

Parking outside was easy, and once inside we were delighted with the service and attention given to us by the waiter.

It was a very relaxed atmosphere with plenty of room between the tables and the decor was upbeat for a Chinese family restaurant.

The food came promptly after ordering, and the taste and quality was nicer than our usual place.

A very nice experience. We will definitely go back again.

Cow And Calf (Grenoside) - Lee Raynes - 30th March 2012

Rating:

First time visiting the Cow And Calf, and what a great public house it is, set in spectacular scenery, with warm and welcoming staff.

The landlord was very pleasant and the beverages were of a high quality, plus the price was brilliant. A very clean and tidy pub indeed with a cosy country feel.

Would appeal to most clientele, and after just spending a few hours here I could see it was the heart of the Grenoside community.

Good work Cow And Calf, I look forward to revisiting the next time I'm walking around here.
