Browns Sheffield 8-12 Saint Paul's Parade, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 2JL

"We had a lovely evening at Browns in Sheffield! The restaurant is big, with a lot of seating area and a bar. It’s located in the middle of the city centre, so it’s very easy to access. The staff were all helpful and nice and we got offered water as soon as we reached the table. Claudia was our main server and she was very friendly. We then ordered drinks; we went for cocktails and the salted caramel martini was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while! The food was so nice as well; the scallops were soft and melting in the mouth, and my fish main was delicious."

"Wait staff were very good, diligent, couldnt do enough for you. Asked for two burgers medium rare with some extras, wasnt charged for the extras but was denied the cooking preference and had to eat a well done burger (later found out this was due to cooking standards) . Decor is awesome, art deco style with a grand piano center peice. Good date spot."

"A very pleasant afternoon tea. We made a reservation online for 2 people at 3.30pm, but called ahead and asked to change to 3pm which was accommodated by staff without issue. When we arrived, the vegetarian of our group had her requests catered for no problem. The staff were attentive and swift, refilling the teapot and bringing out bits and bobs on request. The venue was fairly empty so unsurprisingly quiet; it is always a pleasure to find an oasis of calm and peace in a city. We were extremely happy with the afternoon tea itself and were so full up we could not finish it all - at only £20 a head + service which we were happy to pay. Toilets looked stylish and were clean as you like with some nice soaps. Can't fault it!"

"First time here and booked online on the day. It was a Saturday so could only get a table at 9pm. Greeted by friendly staff and place was packed, with a note on the door that they were taking bookings only tonight due to unforseen circumstances. I live in Guernsey so I am used to eating out a lot. The service here was very slow this evening as it took 1 hr to get starters after complaining. I could understand if it was 7:30 but at 9pm it should be quieter and quicker. In fairness we were offered a free dessert/ drinks and the waitress apologised and when i asked if they were short staffed, got advised one chef had walked out. It wasn't the fault of the other staff and i understand they would have been all under pressure. However, why continue taking full bookings to capacity if you can't handle it at 9pm? If we were told, I'd have gone somewhere else. Food was expensive and very average in my opinion. I've honestly never had scallops this small... 4 the size of a 2 pence piece for £11...very poor value and took me literally 2 mins to eat even if i ate slow as hell. The chicken and bacon avocado salad was good. Ordered truffle parmesan chips... Don't waste your money for £4.50. Standard uninspired looking oven chips that do rare and smell of truffle with a few strands if parmesan....not triple cooked or home cut. To be honest i did not tip and did 2 of us, 2 courses, water and 1 non alcoholic perroni and a g&t... Worst £80 I've spent and i eat out 3 to 4 times a week. The menu is nice but over priced for meoacre food and on this night slow service."

"We had brunch at Brown's before my wedding ceremony, and was absolutely WOWED by their AMAZING service and food. Brown's effortlessly handled our group of 40 people- everyone's orders were correct, and the food came out fresh and delicious! They were also very accommodating with giving us a video tour of the space and setting out our place cards. They did a FANTASTIC job, I would recommend them to everyone again and again. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so special!!"
