Stebbil Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi Having been to both The Ivory and Silversmiths and very much enjoyed them both (The Ivory being the current leader) I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other restaurants of this type in Sheffield (Gastro type place)? I was thinking maybe The Olive Bar and Restaurant......? Want to take the missus out for a meal tomorrow night , so recommendations would be most helpful. Cheers guys John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebbil Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Another option being The Wig And Pen. Anyone been there also? Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenwhite Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Could not agree more really enjoy going to The Ivory and Silversmiths, Silversmiths current leader! The Wig And Pen is similar to both above, I think if enjoyed them then you should have no problems with the Wig & Pen I like the food & place Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerade Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 wig and pen is a good bet (a bit pricey but good). or maybe the milestone in kelham island (again pricey buy good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdnaKrabappe Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Out of those i'd go wig and pen. Olive bar is nice but it's not on the same scale. Is the Ivory still open? Not heard or been for ages! Silversmiths was nice (went early Tues pm) but I still think Wig and pen best of three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1983 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ivory bar every time! i love that place and its only 2 mins away from the Riff Raff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebbil Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Cheers guys Looks like The Wig And Pen is currently winning. Have been to the milestone - thought it was okay, but not fantastic. Maybe I caught them on an off day - in fact one of my friends who goes alot says that it can depend on which chef is working. Am gonna give them another chance though as the majority of people think its fantastic and its also always busy on weekends. Other options are The Dam House and also The Blue Room (I think its in Woodseats)- anyone visited either? Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffnewb Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Not been to Silversmiths yet but I'd like to say how disspointing I've found wig & pen (my last visit was awful particuarly the service). I like Olive bar but for me the best gastro type place is The milestone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshboyhere Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Ivory has gone REALLY downhill!! I went two weeks ago and the service was ridiculously slow and the food was awful too. I don't know whether they had forgotten the food, but it was obviously kept under a heat lamp for far too long and was dry. I also had a very bad experience and the wig and pen too, where the food was not rare but RAW and then they sent it back out, with half the portion and the meat overcooked and dry again. I need a nice restaurant to go to at the moment. I will never step foot in the Ivory again, they ruined my graduation meal and then tried to charge me! They soon apologised and took it off, although we had to pay for the drinks. The Wig and Pen did take the bottle of wine off the menu and invited us back to try them again, so I might.

Claret Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Olive Bar is good for food. Had a fantastic steak there once. I would go on a Monday or Tuesday there is 50% off the food which makes it incredibly good value for money. Good cocktails too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
