Cons:

"The menu is great, it accommodates special dietary needs including vegan & coeliac."

"You can get some good deals if you manage to visit during a lunch menu or if you have online vouchers."
Cons:
"There has been very little consideration in the general layout for people who are disabled."
"The disabled toilet is tucked around a corner and not clearly signposted."
"When we arrived two of us need the toilet, there was three toilets and two out of order, there was one disabled toilet, this was also out of order."
"We were placed in the middle of the dining area after leaving booking notes stating we would prefer a quieter/corner table."
"I'm not sure that the space in the restaurant is used as well as it could be."
"They don't have vegan ice cream, only sorbet."
"Booked a week in advance for sitting outside due to covid. Came to the place no seats available for under the umbrella for rainy Sheffield!!!"
Value
Pros:
"All 3 were part of a Valentine’s menu for a decent price of ~£25."
"Desserts were good, price was reasonable."
"Food really nice, 3 course menu for £17.95..Good choice too.."
"For a chain restaurant, the food was great, tasty and reasonably priced."
"No forced gratuity at payment, leave a tip on the table if you want to."
"The food was great, very bust atmosphere lots of staff on hand."
"Food was good."
Cons:
"Drinks are very expensive costing over £5 for a single vodka and coke!"
"The food was great but a 10% service charge is automatically added to the bill."
"No beer on drought so had to settle for a large bottle of Peroni which was expensive at £6.60."
"£12.95 risotto was the smallest I've ever seen and the pizza margarita tasted really bad."
"Only downside was payment was only accepted by card, no cash which personally I think is a big mistake."
"We Spent £186 between 6 people and 10% gratuity on top, that made it £204, if I'm honest he didn't deserve the 10% but we paid it anyway."
