kevvv Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I dont think an "exclusive" restaurant exists in Sheffield. That word conjures up places like Gordon Ramseys restaurant or the Fat Duck where you have to be in the know to stand a chance of getting a table at short notice. I think even Fischers and The Old Vicarage can be booked at pretty short notice without having to utter the phrase "dont you know who I am?" And frankly , I have eaten at Restaurants all over the UK and just because somewhere is expensive doesnt mean you will have the best evening. I feel you have to weigh up the experience with how much is spent. i.e. a megabucks night out has to be really quite extraordinary to beat say a £ 5 kebab from Elifs. The Old Vicarage was £ 100 / head with drinks and we were slightly underwhelmed. If I was a millionaire maybe it would seem OK to burn that much money on food and drink but personally I am not sure... Whereas Morans which is perhaps easily half that price was better and we enjoyed it more knowing we werent spending so much.... Favourite in Sheffield - the Pasta Bar at Sharrowvale at lunchtimes - absolute bargain (like £ 5 for a garlic bread & pasta) and lovely food. Not exclusive at all but who cares! bang on there. ive seen gordon ramseys F word programme where he challenges celebs to a cook off and he nearly always loses.Thats a world famous chef losing to an amateur. most footballers etc will go to trendy places in town but that doesnt mean the foods good, just means the place is trendy and is seen as the place to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Navel Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Must be up for a Michelin star or two by now! And wow its full of celebs too, another reason to avoid as the majority have little taste or tastebuds!! Shame as it may be half decent but I for one will not be wasting my time in finding out. Sorry guys - I feel as if I have to post here too and yes, I’m pretty new to all this posting lark but have joined simply to advertise for extra staff and now to put my side across. I actually DO work at Christians - thank you to all those who have posted (employees - I hope not!) regarding the restaurant or maybe perhaps Christian himself has a stalker?? Thinking on… he did get two birthday presents from mysterious women (allegedly) ….. (I personally think it was the chefs!) Even I admit they look like ads for the place.... but the food really is just excellent and has never been under question, only the service occasionally has not been to the standard we intend on giving. Anyone who had a meal in Christians ‘Blue Room Brasserie’ will know his culinary skills but Christians Restaurant is more towards the standards of Claridges in London where a very young Chris worked his way to the top. Some of you might not probably know the restaurant manager we had in place to run Christians, tragically lost his young daughter as our doors opened and was subsequently unable to work. Eventually and sadly he felt unable to rejoin our team. Our thoughts and condolences are with him and his family. So the issues have been some of our staff have perhaps not had the training that was required due to circumstance but we now we have a permanent team in place here. I have also come back to work for Christian as I genuinely admire his skill (why else would you put up with deranged chefs!?) Staff are now constantly trained, our levels of service are excellent and I would happily challenge anyone to visit Christians and not have a perfect evening. If anyone wishes to contact me regarding any evening here please feel free to get in touch! I worked all Valentines weekend and it REALLY was excellent. I spent two sleepless nights before Friday arrived, stressing over table plans, linen, organisation, furniture removal, cutlery, staff and even music selection for three long days and nights and in the space of just 24 hrs we had served over 300 customers with a stunning meal. I genuinely wanted every person who walked in that door to have a fantastic experience........ The only complaint I heard of was a grumble from a customer that his booking wasn’t in our list for the evening and we always do our best to find a table when it’s possible even if a slight wait is required. And now, as I’ve admitted I AM an employee, I would like to say our next venture will be to close the downstairs bar (plans are almost finalised) and completely over haul and give it the beauty inside and out the building deserves - so desperately needed since the days and great times of Michel !! (Showing my age now...) Advert over….. Thanks for reading (sorry for the waffle) and please get in touch if you have any issues to discuss. We welcome all feed back good AND bad!
