Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 29)

Whatever the occasion you will not be disappointed with this restaurant. The menu changes constantly according to the seasons, and there is always something for everyone.

Great attention is paid to accompanying vegetables - never overlooked and always fresh. Desserts are obviously made in the restaurant and the crème brûlée is wonderful.

My favourite starter is the brioche with mushroom and Alsace bacon. If duck is on the "special" menu (small supplement) my advice is go for it!

Staff and management friendly and very helpful. My favourite restaurant in this category of dining.

The best food by far. It's the benchmark that others are judged by.

We have 20 reviews of Cutlers Spice.

The food was nice, apart from the frozen mash, which was put on a plate under a bowl and heated but not stirred. I put a little in my mouth and it was cold until I chewed, then it scalded my tongue.

The only reason I paid for any of the meal was the young lady behind the bar and the manager - really nice and helpful.

A lot of mix up but will try again.

I booked for 7-8 people for this evening and was warned that they were very busy tonight and food orders may take a while. However, this was not the case. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the overall service was excellent. The food was lovely and reasonably priced, and the meals were good sized portions. We really enjoyed our evening.

Ate there yesterday, very disappointed. Pizza with hardly any topping, poor fish and chips, tiny salad bowl was just limp lettuce. All over-priced for what we got.

Took ages to get served, despite not being busy. Unfriendly staff who couldn't be bothered to take our order, clear the table, or even take our money to pay the bill. Won't be going back in a hurry.

Friday 30th March

Booked table for 7pm. Sat down on time ordered food. Waited till 8:10pm and asked where the food was. Was told they would check. Eventually ate at 8:20pm. The fish was terrible and chips were the same.

This is not the first time but will definitely be the last. I used be be a regular at this place but will not go anymore. Very disappointed.

Went last night for tea with my parents. My partner ordered our food and my parents ordered their food a minute later.

Our steaks came out. I had a fillet, which was extremely chewy and tough. After waiting nearly 10 minutes we asked the waiter if the other 2 meals were on their way, to be told "yes, well erm I'm not sure".

Went to check and said because we ordered separately, about 6 orders had gone in between our orders. We literally ordered a minute apart and have the receipts to prove this!

Waited another 10 minutes and this was now an hour after ordering. We'd finished our meals, so my parents asked for a refund, which, to be fair, was dealt with straight away and the manager was very apologetic and couldn't understand why there was such a delay.

Hence to say we won't be going back any time soon and definitely won't be recommending to anyone else! Very disappointing!

We've had ploughman's salad a few times and it has always been nice. Went in today and there was no blue cheese, although we were offered extra cheddar or ham. Sausage rolls looked and tasted old. They were greasy and dried up.

When it came it had cheese slices put together and cut into triangles for the cheddar.

Not going to bother again. Very poor. If we hadn't have been in a rush we would have complained.

Absolutely disgusted! After ordering our 2 meals at 6:30pm and waiting until 7:30pm after seeing several other parties get their food, we went to complain and were just told "don't know what happened", then given our money back. No explanation from management. Wanted to give minus stars but not allowed.

Family celebration 2 hours ago. Amazing food, veggie and gluten-free. Staff, service, and cheers amazing. will be visiting again soon.

We have 4 reviews of Surf and Turf.

Ordered a take out and waited extremely long time while I was offered a job to work there. Should have said yes so I could have made my own food and left.

Manager has 0 people skills and loves himself and the sound of his own voice. Honestly surprised the place is still open. Yes the food is nice but that alone is not enough for me to go back again when there's plenty of other places to order from.

We have been regulars here for a long time. The food was acceptable but a little dry. Service was... well slow and haphazard. Eleanor is missed... she knew how to work front of house.

Had a fantastic meal. Thank you!

We have 7 reviews of Indus.

Too bad they are not family friendly! I called to book a table for 12 people and they said we do not like children to be in the restaurant at 6pm!

Also they requested a high deposit of £5 per person before they knew that we had children, which equalled £60 for the group!

We have 3 reviews of Zeugma Iki.

Have been coming here for years and the majority of the time it's been decent service. However, recently received bad service. We went in at 12:08 and thinking it's early we would be done early, how wrong could I be.

We were seated quickly and ordered the lunch special and drinks. The drinks arrived fast but we then waited 15-20 minutes for soup.

It then took a long time for them to take dirty pots away. Brought hot plates for the hors d'oeuvres, but unfortunately it took so long for the food that the plates were cold. We then had long waits for plates being taken away.

We saw plenty of other people being served quickly from the dim sum menu! After a further wait of 30 minutes for mains to arrive (on cold plates & lukewarm) we finally had enough.

We asked for the manger and after another wait he finally came over. He wasn't interested in what we had to say.

We left very disappointed and disgusted. Even if it's busy, all customers come first and should not be ignored for other customer types.

We have 15 reviews of Wong Ting.

Have been before. We were so looking forward to our meal.

The two main courses arrived but one had clearly been sat for a while and its vital side of fries was nowhere to be seen. After waiting patiently, I urged my mum to start without me for fear of it going cold.

A new fish was cooked... but still the fries still were far behind. On complaining, I received apologies again, and references were made to the different cooking times. Having worked in the restaurant trade, I do not understand the difficultly in timing a main course with some fries?

The bill arrived and nothing was taken into account, though it was agreed that things had not gone smoothly. We paid in full but left very dissatisfied.

The best course of action is to vote with your feet and we will certainly not be going back.

Previously these premises had a decent, very popular "Chinese" buffet, with ample choices. Unfortunately today I made a very bad choice in not looking at the buffet before taking my seat, thinking that it may be the same all-day buffet

Starter choices: two spring rolls, three pieces of prawn toast, and oven chips.

Main dishes: sweet & sour chicken, fried tofu curry (?), all other tureens, quite a number of them, had only burnt dried sauces on the bottom, other than dried out noodles and what may have been fried rice, which looked grey and very unappetising.

Dessert choices: around 8 halves of orange, half a melon cut into slices, one cupcake (no icing), 8 marshmallows!

After waiting 15 minutes thinking more food may be put out, I asked why was it classed as buffet. One staff said I was to see the other staff, repeating same question she replied that they were preparing more and it would be put out when ready. She did ask which of the tureens would I like to have filled, reply was that as I had absolutely no idea what had been in them, as not only were they empty but had no name plates, not even type of meat.

I appreciated my Chinese tea (as it was called on my receipt), whilst waiting for a second choice, which turned out to be another sweet & sour chicken, although the chicken had been cut in strips rather than chunks, covered in batter and the same over-sweet sticky sauce!

I did not take dessert.

We were only three tables occupied, and we were all of the same opinion, as well as each one of us thinking we were going to have a buffet as had been served previously.

I am not complaining about the price of the buffet, which would have been reasonably priced if there was food to be had! I was obliged to pay full price for the "buffet". I did not leave any service charges as suggested on the receipt.

I am unable to give even one star for this restaurant, but I am obliged to give at least one to publish the review.

Completely not spicy, I don t like it.

We have 2 reviews of U Buffet.

Went for a special occasion. Highly recommended but very disappointed.

Long wait for drinks at the bar. £9.50 for glass of Chilean white wine (£6 at supermarket for bottle) and pretentious menu to boot.

Long wait for food but it was a busy Friday night. Seemed a bit short staffed and the lovely staff did their best.

Meat was very over cooked and like leather. Sent it home for dogs.

Not normally a complainer but this was poor. Need to get back to basics and deliver simple gastro pub food cooked well and target normal people who want a well-earned meal out.
