"This restaurant is in a great central location in Sheffield near Peace Gardens, and offers a great dining experience. We were seated inside in a nice booth, but seating is also available in an outside 'glass conservatory ' with heaters. We ordered a bottle of sauvignon blanc, and were also impressed with the alcohol free options of wine, beer and gin, which was great for those driving. When the wine arrived, instead of being offered a taste as expected, it was poured straight into everyone 's glasses. For £40 per bottle, we would expect to taste the wine first, fortunately the wine wasn 't corked and was very nice. To start we ordered bruschetta, arancina, and bruschetta gamberoni. All of the starters were very nice! For main, we ordered Paccheri All 'arrabbiata (pasta tomato), Merluzzo (Atlantic cod), Orata Al Forno (whole sea bream), and Stufato Di Manzo (braised ox cheek). The food was very nicely presented and tasted amazing! The pasta and sea bream were piping hot, however the cod and ox cheek dishes were barely warm, as if they had been sat waiting for the other dishes to be plated. This was a bit disappointing, but regardless still tasted great. We also had a side of Zucchini, which was crispy and tasty, but quite heavily salted. Overall, we would return to this restaurant for the delicious food and great setting. The few negatives do not outweigh the positives, but does mean we 're giving 4 stars instead of 5."

"This was our first visit to The Bay Tree. We were impressed by the ambience of the place. The food was amazing and worth the expense for the quality of the ingredients. However a few things spoiled the experience: 1. In common with other restaurants you haven't got your bottom on the seat before someone comes to take drinks. 2. Four out of Five of us had finished our starter before the 5th person got theirs. 3. Service was VERY slow, we don't like it to be too quick but this was painfully slow. 4. We tried to order a second bottle of wine and the waiter who brought the wine list never came back to take the order. 5. I object strongly to restaurants automatically including 10% service charge, I know this is voluntary but it is embarrassing to have to ask for it to be removed. I don't object to tipping, in fact there are times when my tip would have been greater than the service charge. If service was poor like tonight I don't want to pay for it. Service charge (or tipping) should be for GOOD service. Would I go again DEFINATELY but being prepared for a slow not quite perfect experience. Dietary restrictions: They were very obliging with our daughter who is on a Gluten Free diet. Parking: There is a free car park behind the buildings on the other side of the High Street but the entrance is round the corner on the right heading out of town with the Bay Tree on your left. There is however a very handy little alley way which leads from the car park almost directly opposite the restaurant."

"We three gluttoneers invaded this delightful eatery to celebrate my wife 's, Angela 's birthday last Tuesday night, and it was better than great. We were welcomed into an inviting ambience of romantic lighting, light tiles and coloured walls, and shown to our favourite window table. Amidst the polite murmer of chat and laughter from diners already there, and the lovely background music, accompanied with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz and a Pornstar Martini, we made our selection from a varied menu, especially when you include their specials ' board. James, the proprietor extraodinaire, and the others made us feel right at home with the banter and laughter great. We soon made our selection. All three of us went for the Mango al Granchio; Nino 's do the best this side of Essex. There followed Involini Pescatrice, Saltimbocca Romana. and Linguini Gamberoni; all were faultlessly prepared and presented, and the flavour was astounding. This culinary perfection was baptised with a chilled Prosecco, and it truly woke your palate up. We then concluded this gastronomic extravaganza with a shared Apple Pie and ice cream with a surprise candle and team Nino 's singing 'Happy Birthday ' with their quirky horn wonderful. We finished off with a lemon tea, black Americano, Cappuccino, and black Sambucas plus complimentary ones from our gracious hosts grazie mille! Yet again, Nino 's have raised the benchmark in cuisine excellence, friendship, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs in the 'hot room ' for their artistry and kind attention, and a huge 'thank you ' to all at Nino 's for an uplifting dining and birthday experience. Until the next time, keep smiling and be happy, ciao."
