Sheffield Restaurant Reviews (Page 43)

I have never experienced such rude customer service in my life. Do not come to this restaurant. I am appalled at how bad the management have dealt with an incident at the restaurant.

There are plenty of other Italian restaurants that are much better. Do not book here.

A regular visit for us. Food, beer and wine always fantastic. Staff so friendly and nothing too much trouble. A must visit!

We have 20 reviews of Cow And Calf.

Food wasn't good. Lamb was dry & only 5 pieces in total. Pickle tray was recycled & inedible. Manager was ignorant. Waiting staff were polite. However, we won't be returning again in future.

Absolutely fantastic food. Takeaway or eat in. Total respect and first class service from all staff.

Highly recommended every time.

We have 11 reviews of Akhtars.

Went for dinner there fist time and had a really bad experience.

We ordered food and afterwards asked for extra drinks. Waiter "Haleem" was avoiding us as much as he could to give us extra drinks. Then we asked another person for drinks (we found out later that he was one of the supervisors or managers). After 20 minutes that waiter came back and kind of threw the drinks on the table and went. Then he took all dishes from there, showing a huge attitude and anger.

Then we asked for a dessert menu and he gave us another menu and threw that on the table, too, and walked off. We decided not to stay there for dessert and complained to another manager.

I was hugely disappointed with the service and will not ever go back there again. No way.

We have 15 reviews of Akbar's.

We started off our evening in two minds about where to eat. We thought we would try Akbar's in Rotherham and therefore travelled from Halifax, which was quite a journey for us to make.

When we came to the restaurant we were greeted in a friendly manner and we were seated straight away, and were at this point impressed by the service.

However, when we were ready to order and asked the waiter to order he looked directly at us for approximately 5 seconds and looked away. His behaviour seemed rude but we thought it was possible he did not hear correctly. We therefore asked again and he continued to look at us in an unfriendly manner and replied "no you can't have your order taken" whilst he stood there doing nothing. He did not even laugh to make it seem like a joke. Even a joke would have not suited the tone of the restaurant.

However, it was not a joke. He reluctantly came to take our order in a rude manner and left us feeling intimidated and disrespected due to his abrupt and rude behaviour. His name tag read the name "Awase".

We therefore left without eating after such a long drive.

We spoke to the manager, who tried to tell us to take a seat as he would serve us, and he was both sympathetic and apologetic, which was nice to see. However, our experience was ruined and it is sad to see that Akbar's employ staff who disrespect their customers.

We will not be returning to Akbar's again.

Fabulous food and service. We travel up from Birmingham and look forward to going to Koh-I-Noor. They have dishes not seen in any other restaurants, as well as the usual traditional dishes. Fully licensed bar. The service is so friendly and informative. We have visited as a table of 6 to a table of 30 and it's always great. I particularly enjoy their tandoori dishes. Easy to park in their own private car park.

We eat out a lot and can strongly recommend this restaurant. 5 stars from us.

Empty. Unbelievable wait. No choice of half the menus. Food over priced - £20 for a rubbery burger and six greasy fries. Tried bending the burger in half after I nearly broke my tooth on a piece of gristle and it sprung back like a spring -inedible. Refused to pay on a five burger meal as they couldn't even get it right one out of five. Anyone to leave this restaurant a good review clearly works there because anyone else would have to clearly get out more.

I'm that disgusted I haven't got a rating. Worst carvery I've ever had.

The vegetables were boiled to mush, so that I couldn't even pick them up. And it's the first time I've been to a carvery and they didn't even have carrots. The excuse was that there weren't enough. The potatoes were like wallpaper paste, all lumpy.

I can't even describe the food, it was that vile. How can the manager serve this to customers? And it's not even cheap. I won't be going back.

Today was the first time I have been to Walkey Cottage Inn for a meal. Myself and a friend had a lovely three-course meal and nice wine. The staff were very friendly, the service excellent. Nice atmosphere, very clean surroundings. We definitely will go again.

I have eaten here on a number of occasions with friends and would definitely recommend this place. The food is fantastic, with large portions, and the chocolate bread and butter pudding is a must-try.

Staff and chef very friendly and helpful.

We have 26 reviews of Cerrone's.

Had one of the best meals there last week. Staff very helpful and the food is great, big portions and all cooked fresh to order.

Will definitely eat there again and highly recommend a visit, whatever the occasion.

First class.

The good was great. However, the morning after, not so great.

We have been to Whitby's many times and it's always been perfect. Staff are always attentive and very pleasant.

Just brilliant. Keep up the good work.

Only found out about this place last weekend. I've been twice now and what can I say? The food was fantastic and the desserts have to be seen to be believed. This is definitely my new restaurant to eat in.

We have 42 reviews of Elmwood Farm.

I attended my sister's birthday meal at your establishment on Saturday the 7th January and would like to give you my review.

We waited 50 minutes for our meals to come and were very disappointed with what we were served! I ordered the steak and mushroom pie, which was swamped in gravy and had 3 pieces of meat and quite a lot of mushrooms. The pastry was not cooked properly. All in all it was the worst meal I have had there for quite a while!

What a way to spend our family celebration! Little communication in English with staff led to incorrect meals. Plenty of attention, but for expensive drinks orders. Lots of noise and running around by staff's children. Why do they need a storage table next to ours?

All in all what a difference a change of ownership makes!

We have 17 reviews of Beijing City.

I was very disappointed the last time I went to Beijing city. I've been going regularly since the day it opened, and the food and the service was always excellent. But I'm afraid since Rachel and Peter have finished there I have nothing good to say about it. The food was cold and not up to the same standard. The service was slow and unfriendly. Rachel made everybody feel welcome. Not now. I will not be going back again unless I hear that Rachel and Peter are back.

Went to a Christmas dinner dance on 16th December. Hundreds of people packed in to a room more like a 1950s school dining hall - lots of long tables in rows. Dinner service due for 7:30pm. It was 8pm when our table got served. It was another hour, 9pm, before main course and a further three quarters of an hour before dessert.

Coffee was not served, we had to go help ourselves. Not an easy process for hundreds of people to get to two little coffee dispensers! Bar service was dreadful. Four staff who didn't appear to have any knowledge of bar skills. I had to take an empty bottle to bar to show them what I wanted! To add to that one till that the staff either didn't know how to use or it wasn't working properly.

We did complain at the time about the bar service but the management didn't want know!

Verdict - food edible, wine extortionate, and service dreadful. Won't be visiting again. Best Western Plus? I don't think so.

Went to Best Western in Newmarket two weeks previously. Service there had been brilliant. Aston Hall needs a major wake up call.

This is the first review of Zagato.

We called during the day to book a table for three, and were told to just turn up.

When we arrived all the doors were locked. Another party turned up after us, at which time the manager opened the doors (this was 7PM even though it states the restaurant is open from 5PM), so we walked in and asked for a table for three, to then be shouted at and told that he was only opening up for the family behind us, and proceeded to ignore us and welcome them in.

Obviously confused about what was happening, we waited to basically be told by the manager to leave in VERY VERY rude terms, all of this in front of the other family, who looked shocked at how he was behaving. Not only was the way we were treated unacceptable from a business, but also a personal level.

We will never eat there again and will make sure everyone knows what service we received. Shame that you cannot give a rating of zero. This place doesn't deserve customers.
