About Six and a half
Six and a half is a restaurant on 6½ in Sheffield, built around sharing plates and seating that faces the kitchen so diners can watch the chef cook. The team talks through the menu and dishes before ordering, and the food runs from bread with hummus to recurring plates like lamb chops, cod, steak, parmesan tart, beef rib, mushroom tarts, mutton, and cheesecake for dessert. A wine list offers bottles or glasses, including a Portaceli Cava Brut from Spain and a Pecorino from Italy, drawn from a menu of 27 dishes overall. The entrance is step-free for wheelchair users, dogs are welcome inside, and outdoor seating is available for those who want to eat outside. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and reservations are recommended given the format.

Customer Review Summary
Sharing plates draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly singling out the lamb chops, steak, teriyaki chicken skewers and parmesan tart, alongside a beef rib and mutton dish that come up as personal favorites. Desserts get their own mentions too, from a chocolate dessert to a cheesecake and a savoury black pudding pudding that one diner particularly loved. The wine list is called interesting and well priced, with the Albariño flagged by name, and several describe watching the kitchen from fireside or front row seats as part of the evening. Staff are consistently described as warm, attentive and accommodating, including special touches like birthday cards and adjusting for a pram. The lone caveat comes from one diner who found the music not to their taste and wished for a wine cooler to keep bottles from warming at the table. Multiple reviewers say they plan to return to try other dishes on the menu.

“Went last night, Thursday 21st. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. We had great fun, drinks beforehand,, really good value interesting wine list. The main event, the food , fantastic. Sharing plates full of flavours and interest. Great texture, puddings to die for with a nice savoury cheesy black pudding that I really loved.”

“Me and my girlfriend came here Friday evening and after trying pretty much everywhere can honestly say this is comfortably the best dining experience in Sheffield and by some margin. The food, service and the atmosphere is outstanding and we will definitely be returning in the near future.”

“Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel really well looked after.
