Neon Social — Restaurant in Sheffield

Overpriced and Underwhelming! Was looking forward to dining here for a birthday dinner. Very disappointed. 2 of us had ‘special of the day’, which was Halibut and creamed potato with a butter sauce. It was basically tail end of fish with mash potato in butter! It’s something I’d cook at home. £34 was the extortionate cost. I was expecting something really special. Someone else had the plate of prawns for £28, which was literally just that. They described it as boring and under seasoned. I won’t go on about the other dishes as everyone was seriously underwhelmed and felt ripped off. Definitely wasn’t going to stay for desert. The waitress did come around half way through and asked us if it’s ok? I said, ‘its ok’ and the other 3 people just grimaced. The waitress was more than happy with this response or just not bothered! We didn’t see anyone again until we asked for the bill and said we thought it was underwhelming. Can’t imagine this place will last long. We will not be...

Genuinely one to think twice about. The food was decent, though overpriced, but the big problem was that the restaurant itself was very cold - uncomfortably so. Most diners were sat in their jackets and jostling for tables next to radiators whenever one became available. The waitress said that it was always cold in the restaurant when it was cold outside - so definitely one to avoid apart from the summer months. As well as the room being cold, and the starter plates too, the red wine was unfortunately very cold as well - like fridge temperature cold. The restaurant should definitely have informed us of the temperature in the restaurant so we could have either dressed appropriately, or thought twice before spending nearly £300 on a meal for 4. Bit of a "brand" fail really. I've awarded 2 stars for the atmosphere as there was some camaraderie amongst the diners laughing and joking about how...

Really disappointed, we’ve had Sunday lunches from this chef for years going back to when he cooked at Middle Hanley. We went last Sunday 2x adults and a 1x child( 3 years old). We were told our daughter needed a kids meal and we’re never told a price or shown a menu. Her KIDS meal had 1 piece of meat, 1 potato, 1 small Yorkshire pudding and 1 sausage. No veg. We were charged £20 for a 3 year old. £20 for ONE COURSE. I was gobsmacked and told the waitress how ridiculous it was. Although portions are big on the platter they DO NOT justify £30 per adult either. It’s £30 for one course even other good restaurants are less than £30 for 3 courses. No wonder it was quiet. Absolutely shocking £20 for a child...
