Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 25)

Not been here for a while so decided to take the grandchildren for something to eat. On arrival most of the tables were reserved but we did find one. A male member of staff was helpful at finding extra chairs. There was food all under the tables of the reserved ones, which needed cleaning before people arrive, it's off putting. Food was OK.

But then one of my granddaughters came back from the indoor play area with her shoes covered in poo. I then had to track staff down to ask for something to clean it off with. All I got was blue paper. Nobody seemed to know what to do next.

I think it's time for a makeover. It's dirty and some of the seats are torn.

Will be a while before we go again, if ever.

Went for lunch. Paper-thin, cheap burger with frozen chips that were like cardboard and a light-bite lasagne that was certainly that - about 4 forkfuls with cardboard chips (must have stopped serving home-made chips?). Won't be going back any time soon.

Wednesday 10th October. We have just been to the Royal Elephant restaurant in Dinnington, for their themed Thai Street Food Banquet. It was absolutely brilliant. The selection of dishes covered all possible tastes and were beautifully cooked and presented. The street food banquets are available on Wednesday and Friday evenings. You can eat as much as you want for just £9.95.

We have been eating here on a regular basis for many years, enjoying the English carvery and Thai food. The service is exemplary, the staff are attentive, and as in Thailand always smiling. It is always fantastic value for money.

Having been to Thailand and eaten in some very expensive Thai restaurants, we cannot recommend The Royal Elephant enough. You must try it. We are confident you will not be disappointed.

The way the managers talk to their staff at the restaurant on Penistone Road, Sheffield, is disgraceful. Swearing on the front counter in front of customers. I have a family member who has just started and had to hand a sick note in due to health issues, and the way he was spoken to is just wrong and uncalled for.

I dined here yesterday with my son's partner. Excellent choice of starter and main course (too full for a dessert). Staff were very helpful and friendly. Alcohol-free drinks were very good. The "all greens" (I think that's what it was called) was very refreshing, mint, kiwi and a bit of fizz. Would definitely visit again.

I had a dinner with friends and we loved this place. The food was very tasty. We ordered a variety of tapas, including house wine (excellent option). What we most enjoyed was the seafood paella, the beef stew, and the sea bass with a delicious sauce. I also recommend the duck, was AMAZING! We will definitely go back to this restaurant.

This place has fantastic food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be going again.

Very good quality, tasty and plentiful. Fast, friendly service. I would review it at 6/5.

We booked a table early in the evening and the restaurant was fairly quiet when we arrived for 6:30pm. Service was friendly and prompt at first.

Our food arrived fairly quickly and we enjoyed it all. Fair portion sizes and good value for money.

As the evening progressed, the restaurant got increasingly busy, and service suffered because of it. We were tucked away around a corner and got very little attention from the waiting staff. Other tables nearer the centre were checked upon quite frequently. I sat without a drink for around 40 minutes, so we asked for our bill as soon as we could, and left.

A nice restaurant with good food, and we will go back. But perhaps next time we'll ask to be seated in a more central location!

My experience here was horrendous. I will never go back here again, it is genuinely the worst restaurant I have ever been in.

Upon arriving we were greeted by a really nice waiter and genuinely I thought we had picked a good place to eat. He gave us a drinks menu and told us what he recommended, so naturally we went for the drinks he pointed out. However, when they came they were so bland and it was basically a shot of gin and raspberry purée. We asked if we could have a different drink, as they were so bland and tasted awful and they gave us the menu back to get different drinks - which I appreciated.

After the drinks fiasco we ordered food and genuinely thought what we ordered looked nice on the menu. For starter we ordered the nachos and it literally looked like someone had chucked nachos on the plate - squirted tomato sauce on them and melted some cheese on top, along with some jalapeños out of the jar. You should never judge a book by its cover and with that in mind we tried it. In this case, we realised it was just as bad as it looked. The nachos weren't bad but the cheese was not melted AT ALL and it was stone cold underneath. You could actually see where the cheese hadn't been melted.

We asked for it to be taken back because it was cold and the waitress took it. Upon her return she told us that it was cold because the guacamole was fresh and it meant that it would be cold. Umm? What!? We literally just said to them that at this point we wanted to leave and we would pay for the drinks but not the food because we had one nacho each and couldn't eat any more. Thankfully they told us that they would write off the whole bill but even so I feel like that had to be done after such a horrendous experience.

Definitely avoid, we learnt the hard way.

Service and food is absolutely amazing here. The steaks are cooked extremely well, unlike a lot of places I've been to. This is my go-to restaurant for special events and will continue to go. I recommend the goats cheese starter and steak with Parma ham and blue cheese sauce! Will be visiting on my birthday this year.

The only small complaint I have is the restaurant is very small so it can feel a little crammed if there are big parties in there, it definitely doesn't ruin the atmosphere though.

The staff are always very friendly and welcoming and provide a great service.

The manager has very bad attitudes. No apologies & manager skills at all. Hope his boss knows how bad he is.

Friendly staff, good food, and some very good functions. Thank you!

We have been going to the Peacock at Owler Bar now for a number of years and have always enjoyed our experience. We have had Christmas dinners there over the years (room 31).

Recently we booked a table and when we arrived the table was occupied, despite the restaurant being almost empty. The food is not now nicely presented, and seemed poor quality. The staff seem young and inexperienced, but polite.

It's very sad. We were going to book a table for seven for Christmas, but we shall give it a miss this year.

We held a pre-wedding family and friends get-together in June. The venue was superb, the staff were brilliant and the food was varied and wonderful - suitable for all tastes.

The weather was perfect but so was the setting for the party.

If you are thinking of holding a party then see Kelvin and he will help you to arrange it.

I can't thank the staff enough for providing such a wonderful venue and scrumptious food.

This is the first review of Whirlow Hall Farm Cafe.

Overpriced, understaffed and a clueless kitchen, Gordon Ramsay would have a birthday in there. Probably one of his best shows ever.

Quarter of an iceberg lettuce with a dribble of mayo is neither side, accompaniment nor garnish. Not having brought the pet rabbit, one wonders why they were even presented with the starters. Three scallops on what appeared to be a bird table of dry bread crumbs made us wonder if we had booked a table on "Bring a pet night".

Why one tiny serving of mushy peas was placed in a large stainless measuring cup is beyond me, when it would have been easier to leave it on the teaspoon. Although the cod was cooked, the batter was not, which takes a bit of doing even with zero cooking skills. Note to Chef. Potatoes are peeled for a reason, that being to stop chips tasting of topsoil. Leaving skins on so as to reduce the absorption of old oil is not a valid cooking practice.

As I looked around at other dishes and the lame attempts at nouveau presentation I couldn't help wonder what had been ordered when I spotted the steak that ranged through the colours of the rainbow from black to blue.

This is a beautiful pub and the waiting staff were very apologetic that the three course meal took over two hours to serve. We even discussed having cornflakes for desert it took that long.

Come back Gordon Ramsay all is forgiven.

I've been a few times with friends and had a buffet. The food was excellent. Would highly recommend to family and friends. All the stuff was nice.

Just had roast beef wrapped in Yorkshire pudding. The beef was that tough I could not eat it.

After visiting Sheffield with my husband we decided to call at Drakehouse Mill for a meal before returning home to Holton Le Clay.

My husband had scampi, which was reasonable. I had jacket potato and salad. The salad was brown and wilted. I returned it to the kitchen. They returned it with more salad on top of the other. When I cut into the potato it was all congealed. They took it away but did nothing about it. I had to ask for a refund.

I eat here around 4 times a year! It is my favourite restaurant. My favourite dishes are the carbonara and the fillet steak.

The service is amazing and the food is very good value.

I love that you can bring your own wine, too!
