neeeeeeeeeek Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Ruskin Bar is always good and not very expensive. Else park at Sheffield science park carpark and have some great food at The Runaway Girl on your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummieade Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 gotta be honest, m&Ls isnt that nice - food apparently is authentic italian- i went there on a date hoping to impress and the pasta was soft, the sauce was watery and the service wasnt great. Thats my experience tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my experience tho... I completely agree - one of the worst restaurants I've been too. The menu is pretty uninspired, the place is tacky, the food looked very sorry for itself and the service was below average. And it's not cheap. Ruskins is good, and the Showroom bar/restaurant is excellent too and close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophiec1979 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 it is a bit pricey, but about as convenient as you can get, what about the crucible? they do a pre show menu and is served early enough for you to finish before you have to take your seats. whereever you go, hope you have a great time, sophie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.O.D. Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 gotta be honest, m&Ls isnt that nice - food apparently is authentic italian- i went there on a date hoping to impress and the pasta was soft, the sauce was watery and the service wasnt great. Thats my experience tho... Well I love it. So there! The pasta has always been al dente, the sauce has always been marvelous and not at all watery... perhaps they just didn't like you?

If you're going to eat chinese, eat proper chinese, get yourself to a reall Chinese restaurant, speak to the waiter, ask him for an authentic meal. Don't go for this mass-produced dross...
