Ego Sheffield

Food is always good here, the offers are amazing. Moroccan lamb is definitely the best main in my opinion! Dermot is probably the best waiter we’ve ever had each time we come. Despite it always being busy he goes out of his way to give us the best service.

Visited as part of a group, which probably detracted from the usual experience as I tend to find that the service declines notably for larger groups and this was no exception. The table wasn’t ready when we arrived just before our booked time, and there was a wait while the table was prepared- probably about 15 minutes I would guess. I don’t have a problem with the wait specifically, but more the area where we were asked to wait- the bar. This area is also a very narrow walkway for customers to use and for staff trying to carry food to tables, so you were left constantly dodging people carrying plates and constantly being asked to move for people to pass by and it just felt chaotic and claustrophobic. All the food was very good, but the service lacked any warmth with food being pretty much just called and then dumped in the relevant place with little in the way of pleasantries. Additionally, the food for all the courses was generally carried over 2 plates at a time by one person, so it arrived in dribs and drabs with some people sat with food waiting for quite a while for others to get their meals. It’s basic restaurant procedure that if you have a big table you communicate with your colleagues and a few staff group together to serve a large table together to avoid this. It all just came across a bit chaotic and disorganised from start to finish. I would also add that there is a massive accumulation of cobwebs on the walls above the food serving hatch, which is clearly visible from the opposite side of the restaurant which highlights poor attention to detail. I often think if the bits of a restaurant you can see are dirty, what are the bits you can’t see like? Overall, good food but management need to get a grip on basic standards.

Booked for dinner before going to the theater, what a great dinning experience, a very aesthetically pleasing place with great decor and a superb vibe. Menu was inventive and full of options, if you like medataranian food this is the place, with Greek, Italian and Turkish options. The place was very busy but service was prompt and very professional. All the food was superbly cooked and presentation was great. All in all a great dinning experience. Prices were very reasonable and all in all I can't find any faults with Ego at all. We will all be back very soon and can't whole heartidly recommend Ego for anyone looking for a great Mediterranean eating adventure. Top marks, keap it up.
