It 's located a few miles from Sheffield City centre in the suburb of Nether Green on the corner of four-way junction. From the outside, it doesn 't look that big. We didn 't realise the restaurant was upstairs. On arrival,we were very warmly greeted as though we were old friends. Showing us to our table at the chefs bench,we felt really honoured. As the Michelin Guide says for the full experience, book these seats. The restaurant is smallish and very cosy. You forget that you are actually fine dining in Sheffield. We 'd chosen the tasting menu,like you do. To get things started,we ordered one of their own unique Lagers by Little Mesters Brewing . The meal begins with three taster snacks, in...
Visited this restaurant for the 4 course taster menu with my Partner. A bit scepticle of the whole 'Taster ' menu. Memories of Nouvelle Quisine from the 80 's. But I was so wrong. From the ouside, blink and you 'd miss the venue with it 's modest exterior. Once inside we were met with a cosey but modern interior and extremely fiendly and informed staff.

It really is. Being a big Yorkshire lad after receiving the first course I had visions of go...
If I could give this place 6 out of 5 stars I would! Until now, I never realised that food could be art. I have experienced fine dining before, but never like this. The environment is relaxed and down to earth and the flavours are condensed and profound! Eating here will leave you satisfied rather than stuffed. Well worth the money for our date night! Luke, our chef for the evening, created and presented us with exquisite beautiful food and refined tastes with a down to earth Yorkshire delivery. Each bite was a burst of complementing flavours that left your mind empty of anything but the food in your mouth. Our Sommelier Nathan was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the flavours of the dri...
Wow! Sensational plates of food in a lovely cosy setting with a view of the chefs working their magic. You can’t get better. A present bought for us and absolutely loved every moment of it. Attentive and kind waiters, amazing flavours and textures, even the non alcoholic cocktails we had were skillfully prepared it’s just a a cut above and well worth taking the time to visit. A real treat and we will book again.
