We had a wonderful dinner. We enjoyed the 10 course tasting menu an appreciated the hospitality of the staff and attention to detail of the food. Everything was excellent and would highly recommend. If I visit Sheffield again, I will definitely be back.
This is by far the best restaurant in all of Sheffield. The variety in food was unmatched, I have never in my life tasted anything with such elegance and texture to match. The texture of the foods… if I didn’t like the taste it did not matter the texture made up for it and completely changed my mind. Every dish I had was a new taste or texture I had never experienced before. We had the kitchen table and if you’re gonna go here one time I would recommend just spending the extra for the kitchen table. The Sous chef Luke was so kind and when he learned that we were America he was so excited to let us try his Reuben bbq dish. I can happily say it was the best bbq flavor I have ever had, maybe because I wasn’t having to clean my fingers from bbq sauce after every bite, but it was so amazing. Hats off to you guys, every award is most definitely deserved. One day I hope to return and try more of the masterful work these chef’s create. Hats off to the waiters as well they were very knowledgeable, well spoken and kind. 11/10.
We spent an evening in the Rafters enjoying the tasting menu with the wine pairing, and were blown away not only by the delicious food and excellent wine choice but also the outstanding service! All staff members, whether waiter, manager, cook or somelier, were absolutely lovely. And very honest when we were about to accidentally overpay. We would come back and enjoy the whole experience again in a heartbeat. A big thank you to all of you for the great experience!
March 2025. Consistently amazing! This was not our first visit and definitely will not be our last. Once again the whole experience was impeccable. The team are charming and knowledgeable and do everything with flair. The food has such depth of flavour and every dish was a delight. It's hard to pick a favourite with so many taste sensations on the menu - cod cheek, halibut, duck, and more - everything was sublime, including the champagne. Congratulations to Dan and the team! Michelin star is surely well overdue!
We finally made it to Rafters after wanting to visit for so long, and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. Was really surprising they put a special touch on the menu with my name, made the experience more special. Honestly, we’re surprised it hasn’t earned a Michelin star yet. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, making the experience even better. We’ll definitely be returning soon for special celebrations!
We had a table for two as a birthday treat, facing the kitchen. The staff really make a difference here; attentive, helpful, and friendly. The 6 course tasting menu consists of incredible ingredients and well-thought-out ideas, executed in a delicate manner. I did not leave the restaurant uncomfortably full, and so I'd suggest not missing out on the cheeseboard, consisting of Yorkshire produce.
Always a fantastic experience here. The staff are friendly, warm and knowledgeable, the food is delicious and the place itself is cosy with a good atmosphere. Will go as many times as I can afford!
We visited here for a Birthday celebration a few weeks back, everything was amazing but we can only give 4 stars due to an undercooked scallop on my girlfriends plate, a shame and these things happen but probably shouldn't for the price we paid. We would consider going back as the staff were really friendly and everything else was lovely.
Had the best evening. Absolutely amazing food and drinks. Customer service was superb. The overall experience was unforgettable. Thanks
Decadent plating, amazing tastes and combinations of flavours, atmosphere that was peak fine dining. Great selection of wine, home brew beer and local vodka. Truly an amazing spectacle of an evening. Deserving of a Michelin star.
