Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 6)

Purchaed a bottle of Champagne Taittinger Rose for our friends 40th wedding anniversary. I paid for the Champagne order over the phone and was charged £130 for this bottle and I know they retail at £45 max at supermarkets. This is a £85 profit! I know people have to make a profit but come on... Dick Turpin comes to mind. They said they would serve the Champagne after confirming guests names. Phoned me back for payment and how much it was after it had been served! What could I do...?

Will never go there myself.

Went for a carvery with my dad and sister. Always been happy until today, Tuesday 10th May. Minimal meat, hard broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, Yorkshire pudding too big for a small plate and extremely crispy.

All not very happy overall. Will be keeping away.

I have dined here on several occasions and have always been more than satisfied with the food, which I find is good value for money. I have an elderly mother who has a very small appetite and the staff are happy to serve her a small portion meal. The service is very good and Bev, in particular, is always very obliging.

My partner and I went for Sunday lunch - it was brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Highly recommended. Food hot and beautifully cooked. Staff efficient and friendly and very polite.

We will definitely be back in the future. Thank You for a very pleasant afternoon.

A really enjoyable meal with my family at Miller & Carter today. Food was great. My 10oz sirloin steak really beautifully done. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice, relaxed atmosphere.

We ordered onion bhajis and poppadoms for starters, then chicken tikka vindaloo and chicken tikka jalfrezi, pilau rice, and the biggest nan bread ever seen!

The food arrived promptly, very hot and tasty. Must be the all time top balti restaurant. Tony, the manager, is just the best host; very friendly and entertaining! Many famous people visit there, shows the standard of the food.

We cannot wait to visit again.

Went for breakfast buffet costing £6.99 each. Bought 4 adults and an additional adult-sized breakfast to share between 2 young children. We asked for an additional plate and was refused. After explaining that a 3-year-old wasn't going to eat a £6.99 breakfast by herself she reluctantly gave the plate, then proceeded to serve us with a bad attitude.

My husband's waffle order was missing. Half the ingredients the gent served after me had the same issues with kids meals.

Won't be returning.

We had a fantastic night, nice to see a busy pub. The food was excellent, the drinks were great. The staff were really busy but had things running like clockwork. The next time we're local we will be back.

My 1 star relates to the delivery and not the food.

I ordered a takeaway for delivery and was informed it would 45 to 60 minutes. After an hour and forty minutes with no delivery, I called the restaurant and it appeared that they had misplaced my order. They didn't actually say so, but they seemed bewildered! I was then informed my order would be next out so will be with me within 10 to 15 minutes. It took another 30 minutes.

The food came hot, which indicates it had only just been cooked as it was now 2 hours since I placed my order. The food came and it was enjoyable.

We went for dim sum recently for the first time in 2+ years because of COVID. We love the food and there were new dishes on the menu, and the quality of the food was excellent as usual.

However, this is undermined by staff attitude and by the dreadful state of the women's toilets.

We waited a long time for one dish, which was unusual because food usually comes quickly. Staff were not attentive and didn't notice us indicating we needed service. And when finally one came over and we asked where the dish was, the waitress said "there's none left". So we said "why didn't you come and tell us?" She shrugged, didn't apologise. Then we had to wait about 10 minutes for a replacement dish.

The plastic tablecloths were not changed between customers but just given a very cursory flick wipe before next customer sat down.

Most staff were wearing masks but several of them seemed not to realise that their noses are part of their respiratory system and wore the masks below their noses.

The women's toilets are not good. One toilet (out of 4) was completely broken, as I remember it was more than 2 years ago. Another seemed to be locked, and so there were queues. The floor was sticky as though it rarely gets cleaned. It seems the owner is too mean to spend money on making the toilets fit for purpose or checking their cleanliness. I think if Environmental Health paid a visit they might well give Wong Ting a low rating.

I am utterly disgusted with the service we received at Turtle Bay, Unit 2 NUM Building, 18 Holly St, Sheffield S1 2GT, yesterday evening. We made a birthday table booking for my sister, my son and myself and had confirmed this over the phone with two members of staff and specifically asked if we could bring a child to which we were told "it gets a bit loud, but that's fine children can come".

After adding the child to the booking we turned up and were greeted by the rudest bouncer I have ever come across. We were told we couldn't come in with a child to which I contested as we had confirmation this was okay and he had been added to our table booking. We were refused service so I requested the complaints procedure, as soon as I mentioned complaint the bouncer grabbed my arm with extreme force and tried to drag me out of the building in front of my son. When my sister tried to stop him he proceeded to drag her out and throw her down the stairs injuring her, ripping her clothes and traumatising my 6 year old. The excessive use of violence by the bouncer was completely out of order and caused injury and distress to us. Other bouncers had to come and calm the out of control bouncer down, we were then given a trip adviser review card as their complaints procedure and told to make any complaint via this.

I will be taking this further, I have videos of the bouncer man handling my 21 year old sister in front of my 6 year old son, and photos of injuries caused, and will be sending this to our family lawyer and holding Turtle Bay and the bouncer (who refused to give us his name) accountable.

A dreadful experience with awful service and especially rude staff. Never again!

Museum was our favourite pub in town. Recommended it to lots of family and friends until tonight with beardy oik with attitude problem. Food and atmosphere gone downhill. Shame, as always liked it in there but one to avoid now. I'd give a minus but that option not available. Shame one member of staff can ruin a business.

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. Su was fantastic and went above and beyond, they ensured we had a superb evening.

Ate here on a Monday for the first time and will be visiting again very soon.

Got a fantastic welcome from Colette and Rob and was looked after with good charm and cheekiness.

I had a double cheeseburger and it was juicy, flavoursome and one of the best I've had in a long time. My mate had a steak and chips and this was cooked exactly how he asked for it.

We followed mains up with, what can only be described as "monstrous cakes"! I even got to bring home a gluten-free eclair home for my wife. It has taken her 3 days to eat!

I can't wait to go again soon for another proper meal at a very reasonable me price.

Don't even know where to begin. We went to this restaurant today (me, my husband, and my 3-year-old daughter).

First I went to ask if they had a table available, to which they said it will be half an hour waiting, and I said that's fine, can you please book a table for us from next half an hour (it would be 7PM) and then I went downstairs.

I came back upstairs and he said it will be half an hour (if should have been 10 minutes, as I came back after 20 minutes). They gave tables to other people who came after us but not to us.

We waited half an hour and told about 3 waiters that we were ready to order but no one wanted to take the order. Finally after ordering, to one of most rude staff, we waited for our starters. However, they came out quickly but only 2 of them (out of 3). We had to remind them to get the 3rd starter.

Then we had to remind them for the main course a few times and most of the staff just ignore you there as if you are not talking sense.

There was a problem at another table, as they were complaining about the food and service, so all the staff got busy there.

Eventually the food came out. It was average at best and of course over-priced. There is no children's menu so you have to order a big meal for kids.

Then after eating a bit (because by then we were frustrated and wanted to get out), we went to the till to make a payment. Our bill was incorrect and there were a few alcoholic drinks on the bill that we did not order, and the prices of the food were incorrect. When I questioned it, they were adamant that the prices are correct and I had to show them on the menu. For the drinks I had to prove somehow that it was not us who ordered the drinks (most bizarre). They went to our table to check the glasses. Staff at the till had to get 3 tries to correct the bill.

When the manager / owner came to the till, I just politely said that you guys need to do something about the customer service, to which he snapped and said "I don't want to argue with you and I don't need your opinion. Other table was being an idiot so I don't need it from you, too." I was absolutely shocked at this reaction. He was just so rude and ill-mannered.

If you enjoy being ill treated, this place is definitely for you, else don't even bother!

I would highly recommend this restaurant. Our waitress, Jarka, was super efficient and helpful and a credit to Miller & Carter. Will definitely be back.

Me and my partner came in today. I ordered prawn cocktail; really nice. My partner ordered fish pie. It took 40 minutes to arrive and it was cold. My partner sent it back and told them to put it in microwave to heat it. He has been in hospitality for 20 years so he knows how things should be.

Was very disappointed; visit the Fairways often.

I admit I did not make the right choice for my main meal yesterday evening. Panko chicken fine, but the linguine was awful - tasteless and overcooked. It should not have been on the plate. Surely chips or new potatoes served with a vegetable i.e. green beans would have made it a better meal.

My husband had the fillet steak, which he said was cooked to perfection.

The staff are brilliant; very polite and pleasant.

My husband and I decided to try a meal at the Waggon & Horses, which on reflection was a big mistake.

The food was of a very poor standard. My choice was gammon, which arrived in a thick chunk, was tough to cut and very, very salty, accompanied by thin sad looking chips. The peas & mushroom equally were tasteless.

My husband had pie, which he said was passable. Again, served with sad chips etc...

What a disappointment, alongside a small, dreary dessert and one drink each, plus two coffees.

We will not be returning. To sum things up the meal was a complete waste of money. The only good thing was that the bar & waiting staff were very helpful.
