Old Red Lion (Grenoside) - Dianne Watkinson -

Rating:

Recently went to the Old Red Lion. We have eaten there many times over the years and rated the food great- 5 stars every time. Unfortunately it has changed hands and the food was mediocre to say the least. Really disappointed. Won't be going again.

Beijing City (Greenhill) - Trevor -

Rating:

Have just read the reviews since change of ownership and I have to sadly agree with most of them.

My wife and I have been visiting this restaurant almost once a month since it opened. Even though we introduced ourselves to the new owner she never recognised us on our second visit under her stewardship. She spent all her time gossiping behind the bar with her staff and I had to leave my table to get attention, as my food went cold very quickly. The service was poor, as the staff were obviously untrained and dressed in street clothes.

We have always tried to support our only local restaurant, but as the new owners can't be bothered to look after their customers we have have reluctantly decided to take our trade elsewhere.

Meadow Farm (Ecclesfield) - Rick Parker -

Rating:

Went for Sunday carvery, it wasn't that busy but there was a massive queue for food - at least 30 minutes stood waiting! Only 1 member of staff on serving! Food was OK but don't expect to be fed quickly.

Sword Dancer (Handsworth) - Jayne -

Rating:

Not a review about the food, never had a bad meal here. But the outdoor space is a disgrace!

Broken, dangerous planters (kids running round!) litter, cigarette butts everywhere. Had to pick up litter and bin it before we could sit down! Then there's the general appearance, weeds all over!

Please don't let it go to rack and ruin we love our local, but come on, tidy up a bit! Please! If McDonald's can do it I'm sure you can!

Parthenonas (Highfield) - Alison Glover -

Rating:

My daughter booked a meal for 20 plus for my 50th surprise celebration.

We arrived to no table for the time we booked. My daughter had asked if they could decorate the table, nothing put up, and when we eventually got seated 45 minutes later we were cramped with zero elbow room. Two people didn't even get a meal, as they mixed up the orders. The evening was a very warm one and being cramped didn't help. No fans available. They ran out of bottled beer, very unorganised. Rude, surly staff. Never eat here again. In my opinion let your waitresses go and get staff in that actually care that a party has spent £500 and that pays for their wages.

Akbar's (Rotherham) - Miss Fairhurst -

Rating:

From the moment we entered to the moment we left, we were looked after fabulously and were treated very well. As we sat fresh rose petals were placed onto the table. Our napkins were replenished throughout. Recommendations were given. The server spoke with us on a normal level and we were even treated to free coffees afterwards.

Will definitely return.

Phoenix Inn (Ridgeway) - Linda -

Rating:

Having recently celebrated a 70th birthday for an American relative we were very impressed with the effort made by the staff to ensure all went to plan. The food was first-class, and a really enjoyable evening.

Browns (City Centre) - James -

Rating:

Visited this place for tea and coffee - the service was poor, the tables were dirty and, rather than make any attempt to clean our table when my wife pointed out it was dirty, we then had to listen to a sarcastic monologue about how hard the staff worked and how busy they were. There are many places to eat and drink in that area which offer far better service and hygiene.

Chez Lahlou (Walkley) - Michelle Anderson -

Rating:

Five-star by far. Steaks to die for. But do not order starters, as you will be too full. The owner is a fantastic lady. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Elmwood Farm (Beighton) - Sue Fox -

Rating:

Called today. Had turkey bap with roast potatoes and stuffing. Sandwich was nearly all fat, stuffing was rock hard. Very disappointing. Told our waiter who just said "I will tell them". No response.

I had taken my daughter out for a treat, we won't be going again. Anyone going beware. Looks are deceiving. The thing is you pay before you get your food, otherwise I would not have paid. Anyone else had problems?

Meadow Farm (Ecclesfield) - Julia Moore -

Rating:

My friend and I (plus our 3 children) decided to try Meadow Farm today for lunch. She ordered a child's garlic bread starter, as her 1-year-old was getting grouchy and a little hungry. She also ordered smothered chicken for herself and a child's meal of nuggets, chips and beans for her little boy. I ordered mains for myself and 2 children also.

We waited 25 minutes before having to ask if the garlic bread was on its way. 10 minutes later it arrived, closely followed by my main and my children's meals. 15 minutes later there was still no sign of my friend's main or her son's. A further 10 minutes and still no sign, so again we asked a member of staff how long it would be. Another 10 minutes and their food arrived (minus a apology) both plates had the worst looking chips we've ever seen, they were cooked to death and literally snapped in half.

My friend quite rightly complained and was offered a free dessert, which she declined. My children's meal and my own was edible, just a little bland, but we had finished our meals as my friends arrived.

Not a pleasant experience and will not be returning any time soon.

La Luna (Banner Cross) - Isobel George -

Rating:

We have just had a marvellous meal for first time at La Luna, Sheffield.

The food was wonderful but our experience was made even better by Casey our waiter who waited on us, meeting our personal needs. My brother-in-law has particular difficulties with swallowing food but Casey did his utmost to help us with this so my sister and brother-in-law enjoyed their meal.

We'll definitely return when Casey is working so he is able to help us to meet the needs of our party so we can go out for a meal together. The food was delicious but Casey was wonderful giving us personal service in a busy restaurant.

Thank you so much Casey we are coming again when you are working on a Friday or Saturday.

Blues (Broomhill) - Martin Johnson -

Rating:

Had spicy chicken wings and had to go back for more. Nice atmosphere. Just what Broomhill needed outside of the city centre.

Old Horns Inn (Bradfield) - Mrs Helliwell -

Rating:

As a family we probably visit at least 1-2 times a month. Food has always been brilliant. Was so disappointed today with our visit. Food was no way near as good. Me & kids picked at our food, my partner said it was OK. Waitress asked if our meals was OK, I replied no, she said "oh sorry". Won't be visiting again.

Ashoka (Sharrow) - Katie -

Rating:

The menu looked impressive but don't be fooled. Onion bhaji tasted like card board, prawn purée was so watery, not creamy in the slightest. My mum was gipping. Absolute rip off as well.

Smoke Barbecue (City Centre) - Reg -

Rating:

Pleasant service but food was a bit on the cool side. Double-fried chips were just warmed up chips from an earlier cooking. Beers nice though. Not good value for money.

Aagrah (Crystal Peaks) - Wayne -

Rating:

Fabulous. Salads, sauces, starters, sides, veggie and meat curries and desserts. Loads and loads of choice, plus it's all you can eat. Attentive staff and very reasonable prices. We've been about twenty times over the last couple of years.
