Cornerstone @Dyson Place in Sheffield

Courtyard Cabaret Fabulous Sunday evening at Cornestones special event. Food excellent as always service really good given the numbers at the event and changing weather conditions. Buzzing atmosphere, well done team Cornerstone. Big thanks as always to AK and Ruby 😊

Great atmosphere with the music and food was really good. Would definitely go again!

I had the pleasure of being served by Lucy during my recent visit, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we were seated, Lucy made us feel welcome and well cared for. Thank you LUCY!

I always have a wonderful experience at Cornerstone. The staff are friendly and attentive. The menu has plenty of choice and the food is always cooked perfectly, always delicious and flavourful. Anytime I’m in Sheffield I try to visit.

This place has a great atmosphere and amazing service. Our waitress AK had a really good knowledge about wines and food and helped to make our meal perfect. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent quality food, great ambience

Cornerstone is a gem of a space! Delicious food, great variety of cakes and soft drinks and always a great atmosphere. Staff are also really friendly. I regularly visit on a Tuesday evening with friends and AK is often our server. She always goes above and beyond to make us feel welcome and has great knowledge of the menu.

Great service from AK. Delicious food and drinks

I always love visiting the cornerstone - the staff are lovely (shout out to AK!) and the food and drinks are delicious

The perfect place for a sunny afternoon. The service was amazing, Lucy really looked after us so well!

Very friendly, curteous, sociable atmosphere. Freya in particular is exceptional (a keeper).

Lovely experience today, staff were attentive and friendly, and the food was really tasty. We will definitely be back!

Oh my days! First time visiting Cornerstone and it definitely won’t be our last. The food is easily some of the best we’ve eaten in Sheffield. With gluten and dairy allergies, eating here was a breeze - Val served us and he was so welcoming, helpful and meticulous checking with the kitchen. Honestly can’t wait the go back and see what the day time menu has in store - although I’d be quite happy with a second helping of the white chocolate cheesecake dessert… Like I said OH MY DAYS!!!

Great hospitality Freya was super friendly attentive and warm. Great food will be returning

We had a great time! The good was exceptional, service faultless and the place has a great feel to it. We'll be back again soon for sure!

Superb location—great for both sunny and gloomy days. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but it's especially popular for lunch and brunch. The food truly brightens your day.

You really can’t go wrong with a visit to this restaurant. The food is always delicious, the staff are friendly and welcoming and it has a great atmosphere. I love the fact that they regularly refresh the menu so there is always something new to try and it never disappoints!

One of my favourite places for food in Sheffield! The food and drink are always fantastic, atmosphere is always great, staff are polite and helpful, it’s lovely to sit outside in the courtyard in the summer to!

When for lunch with a couple of friends and the food was incredible, steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly and would highly recommend the chocolate cremeux for dessert!

Had an amazing meal at Cornerstone in Sheffield! The food was incredible, fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was spot on. The service was just as impressive. The staff were super friendly and made us feel really welcome from the moment we walked in. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure you have a great experience. Definitely one of the best places I’ve eaten in Sheffield. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Excellent everything, food,staff,atmosphere.

Popped into Cornerstone at Dyson Place on a sunny Saturday and honestly, the vibe was immaculate — think laid-back continental courtyard meets indie Sheffield cool. Tables basking in sunlight, laughter in the air, Aperol flowing like it's a bank holiday in Tuscany. I ordered the Caesar salad, served with perfectly seasoned chicken (if you go for the meat option). The dressing? Just the right amount of bite. The croutons? Crunchy but emotionally available. Paired with an Aperol Spritz that was colder than your ex’s texts, it was pure lunch heaven. Now, let’s talk about Val. Oh, Val. Friendly, attentive, and possibly carved from the same stone as Michelangelo’s David. I came for a salad and left emotionally entangled. Was it the Aperol or the sparkle in his eye? Hard to say. Tall, charming, suspiciously good at remembering orders… But let’s not make this about him — this is a serious review. (Although, if anyone from Attitude magazine is scouting Sheffield’s most eligible servers... 👀) Do yourself a favour: book a table, bring sunglasses, and try not to fall in love — with the food, the atmosphere, or the staff. Cornerstone, I’ll be back. Probably every Saturday. For... the salad. Definitely the salad.

Freya served. Very friendly. Great explanation of menu options. From chatting, help her with a job in Australia as she has just graduated and you may have contacts xx

Came in for lunch and drinks in the sun, our server Harriet made us feel welcome and made it a great experience!

Freya was lovely , great service and great food !

Nice atmosphere with delicious food served by very friendly staff

Fabulous brunch, always love it here and a great sun trap

Freya and Franka were amazing - service is outstanding!

Freya was so lovely and helpful. We had a beautiful night xx

Food was incredible. Such a nice sun trap spot. Put server Harriet made our night, absolutely fantastic service xx

There was a good atmosphere in Cornerstone and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Although the food tasted good on the whole, we were all very disappointed with the portion size, given its cost. Four prawns with a sauce and focaccia at £14.50 seems ludicrous. Half an aubergine with a bit of sauce and garish with nothing more in the plate is excessive in the extreme at £18. I think the owners need to be circumspect and charge reasonable prices or put more food on the plates.

We had a fabulous evening as usual. Freya was wonderful and took really good care of us

Amazing time. Freya was so lovely and her service was excellent. We would go back just for her!

lovely place, freya was so lovely and accommodating 🩷🩷

Freya provided an excellent service, very welcoming and attentive to us. We had a lovely time dining.

Beautiful place with lovely staff. Food was excellent and service was fabulous. Will definitely be coming back!

Review – 2 April 2025 We revisited this restaurant with my parents, expecting the same great experience as before. Unfortunately, it was quite different this time. The Cornerstone Breakfast lacked the WOW factor that had impressed us previously. The portion sizes, particularly the beans, were disappointing, barely a tablespoon’s worth. After expressing my disappointment, we were given some additional beans, but it shouldn’t have taken a complaint to receive a reasonable portion. For £104 for five breakfasts and eight drinks, I would expect better quality and consistency. Given this experience, I’d think twice before returning or recommending it to others. *********************************** A Perfect Start to the Day at The Cornerstone @ Dyson Place I had a fantastic breakfast experience at The Cornerstone @ Dyson Place, and I can confidently say it’s a spot worth revisiting. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service was exceptional warm, attentive, and efficient without being intrusive. I opted for the Cornerstone Breakfast, and every element on the plate was executed with care. The mushrooms were beautifully cooked, incredibly juicy, and packed with rich, earthy flavor. The poached egg was absolute perfection, firm on the outside with a golden, runny yolk that added a delicious creaminess to every bite. To complement the meal, I had a cup of their expertly blended coffee, which was a real standout. It had a deep, smooth body with a subtle burnt caramel aftertaste, making each sip a delight. It was the kind of coffee that lingers pleasantly on the palate, leaving you wanting just one more cup, so I did. We chose to sit outside in the courtyard, which was a wonderful decision. The outdoor seating area had a relaxed, welcoming vibe, perfect for enjoying a slow morning. Whether it was the cozy ambiance, the friendly staff, or the delicious food, everything about the experience made for a memorable breakfast outing. If you're looking for a place that serves high-quality food with fantastic service in a charming setting, The Cornerstone @ Dyson Place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back soon for another round!

Stumbled across the Cornerstone whilst trying to find breakfast. The food is amazing! And staff were really friendly

Excellent breakfast and wonderful service, Freya our waitress was great - looking forward to coming back!

lovely ambience, really friendly service friendly waitress (Freya) ans great food xxx

Really nice meal, we had lots to small plates and all really enjoyable. Freya was really helpful and polite, and very nice relaxed atmosphere for an early tea, great start to the weekend :)

Anne-Katarina is the best! Thanks for a lovely meal and for doing our wedding in 2022!

Beautiful location and nice and cosy atmosphere! We only got drinks but it was nice. Having some reasonable non-alcoholic cocktails will make it even better!

Freya was an absolute delight. she was very attentive, brought us delicious food, bloody Mary’s, and treats for the dog

Lucas was our server and he was 10/10! So helpful and friendly :)

Freya was lovely, bubbly and smily and couldn't do enough! ☺️

Freya was an absolute legend She’s looked after us and made us welcome

Great service from freya, food was fantastic and will be coming back soon for sure

We had lovely service with a smile from Freya and the pappardelle pasta was absolutely delicious! Like a carbonara but much better.

Delicious lunch. Very tasty. Great service. Good vibe. Recommend.

Best meal & service I’ve ever had in Sheffield! Such a warm welcome when we arrived with everything so well arranged. Our server Val was amazing; he made us feel so comfortable and was there for every little thing we needed. The owners mum made our experience so special alongside the food being second to none. I am so impressed with the restaurants attention to detail and quality, we will definitely be returning!! A must try…

Been here for brunch a few times. Nice and cosy atmosphere with friendly staff, and really dog-friendly. Thanks for looking after us and our pooch!

Lucas was so welcoming, and the food and coffee is delicious!

Lucas was great, we came in for a friends birthday and the service was great 😃

Happy birthday Coglie. Food was very good and location is lovely. Thank you Lucas who was a great waiter, and accommodate all our requests

Perfect Saturday lunch 🤩 Great atmosphere , fabulous food and really friendly service

AK was lovely and could tell she genuinely loved the food she was serving- as she should, it was incredible! Didn’t know that houmous could be that good

Lovely food and great service! Lucas was super friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely lunch - Lucas was an amazing server and was so friendly! Thanks ☺️

Good food, Lucas was a very friendly server

Really enjoyed our meal here today. I had travelled up from London this morning (and friends had come from elsewhere), we all agreed the meal (and company) was well worth the travel. Really enjoyable, the staff are friendly and accommodating, and "small plates" are actually a fairly generous size. One of the best places I have eaten since I moved to Sheffield in 2017, and my visits since.

We booked this place for a big family group for a Christmas get together brunch. The service was great and the space was perfect for a table of twelve including a one year old, a four year old and a seven year old.

Absolutely stunning dinner! The Porchetta was perfectly cooked and the Venison Ragu was delicious. Great options for our family with vegan and gluten free requirements. Thank you!

Just had a fantastic Aperol Spritz and porchetta sandwich for £15(4-6pm) in the seasonal tipi. The focaccia sandwich is a work of genius. Great stuff!

We needed cheering up after a fraught day, and this impromptu visit did the trick. Lovely food, lovely people!

Came in with my sister and had coffee & early dinner. Best coffee we’ve had in the UK! We are from Australia and were so happy to finally have a great coffee. Food was presented amazingly and tasted devine! Would definitely come back!

Lovely venue in a unique place in sharrow

Superb dinner on Tuesday night. 👌🏻

Booked last min for a special birthday, initially fully booked however was able to move some tables around and fit us in which saved the day! Food lived up to the hype and although we had a few difficult people in the group, all demands were met at speed, thanks again

Tucked away in a cozy corner off Ecclesall Road, Cornerstone feels like a delightful secret waiting to be discovered. This charming Italian restaurant strikes the perfect balance between authentic cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, the intimate setting feels like a home away from home, with soft lighting, rustic decor, and attentive staff who go above and beyond to make your dining experience special. The menu is thoughtfully curated, showcasing classic Italian dishes alongside seasonal specials that reflect the chef’s passion for fresh, quality ingredients.

I recently visited Cornerstone and tried out their new steak item, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! The steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The seasoning was just right, complementing the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it.

Great vibes, always welcoming whether you’re coming for a coffee, drink or dinner. Love that the menu is always changing and so many options for vegetarians 👍

I never leave negative reviews but considering how many good ones this place has (which is why we chose to eat there) I thought I'd better pipe up. First visit for a much needed brunch date for me and my partner. We ordered two vegan breakfasts even though we're not vegan, because it sounded nicer/interesting. The price was fairly high however the menu clearly outlined a large, elevated 'full' type breakfast. In spite of the place being pretty quiet, it took an incredibly long time to arrive, and then we were brought the wrong order with no explanation and not offered anything while we waited even longer. When our food finally arrived, as pretty as it looked, the portion was so small we were both pretty disappointed. I paid £19 for a single slice of toast with half a tomato, a single mushroom, a tiny smear of avocado, a single poached egg and a very few beans and three tiny pieces of potato on the top - everything on my order fitted on top of the one fairly small slice of bread. The chickpea fritters were the size of two oven chips, not really what we were expecting and not a decent replacement for the large sausages and bacon on the standard breakfast or even for the two eggs and halloumi on the vegetarian breakfast. I'm really not normally fussy, but when I say it was disappointingly small! Finished it very quickly as a result and considering it was lunchtime by this point, we were both left hungry all day. I also ordered a decaf coffee for health reasons, however the second one was, I'm fairly sure, full caffeine and this was reflected as such on the bill which left me worried for my health all day. We didn't make a fuss, but I did receive apologies for the mixed up order and delay and was offered one of my drinks for free, though when I went to pay they tried to charge me full price and I had to ask for it back down. In general the service was incredibly slow and a bit forgetful and obviously something went wrong with our order. Hopefully they just had a bad day, but I don't think I'll be going back I'm afraid. I can't believe I paid nearly £20 for such a tiny breakfast!

Delicious breakfast, huge portion sizes and absolutely lovely staff! I’ll be back :)

Lovely late lunch here today. We only just made it before the kitchen closed, but had a thoroughly enjoyable birthday afternoon

The atmosphere of this resturant is amazing, cozy, elegant and the perfect spot for a coffee or meal. The staff were lovely and helpful, my server Abbie had a friendly smile and insightful suggestions. I would highly recommend this venue to my friends and family.

The place was lovely, with a delicious breakfast and warm, friendly staff.

Visited on Saturday the atmosphere was great all the staff were very friendly and attentive especially Richard ( hope that was his name)!! We had coffee and cake which was excellent, would recommend

Fantastic food and service by the wonderful Abbey! She was lovely! 🇮🇹

I come here as part of a regular craft group and the staff are so lovely! It's such a cosy place to catch up and they do amazing vegan hot chocolate ☕

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere

Amazing food, great atmosphere & the loveliest staff! So friendly and accommodating

Great food and great service! Can’t wait to come back. The prawns were amazing! Credit to the chef!

Great place for dinner exciting well thought out and creative tasty food! Wine exceptionally good and service to match!

Went with our friends to celebrate our anniversary brunch...lovely staff(Andy) very polite, professional and friendly. Food superb and great atmosphere. This is going to be a regular visit! 😀

Came here for Sunday lunch with my family and dog. Food excellent (try the chorizo starters), service friendly, attentive but not rushed, made us feel we had all the time in the world. Nice wine list and our dog appreciated the bowling water. Overall a great spot.

Visited a few times. Consistently excellent food and lovely friendly service.

Having visited almost exactly a year ago for my wife and I's first wedding anniversary, we were wondering if we had just fallen lucky with the experience we had last year. It is safe to say that we hadn't, and Cornerstone at Dyson Place truly is a consistent place to celebrate an occasion. Again, the purpose of our visit was immediately acknowledged, and Andy who was tending to our table was brilliant. We were more than happy with a slower pace for dining, and Andy was more than accommodating of that, leaving us plenty of time to decide between courses and enjoy the dishes we had ordered. Cornerstone is absolutely fantastic, and the two amazing experiences we have had to date is exactly the reason we will keep returning.

Food was lovely and there was a really good range of gluten free options (and the GF bread was nice!) Great service, friendly and efficient. Reaurant was very busy but we didn’t have to wait for food. Thoroughly recommend

Great place for a cooked breakfast. Bubble and squeak with eggs and bacon is perfection. Andy was the perfect host.

Gorgeous breakfast, lunch and dinner spot in Sheffield with seasonal menu and cocktails. Also dog friendly!!

Another amazing dinner this evening for our anniversary, made extra special from the service we received from Andy. Food was also exceptional. Already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks guys

We had a lovely evening, delicious food and Andy was very accommodating. Would recommend

Great night out with the family, kids enjoyed it and it had a buzzing yet warm atmosphere. Will be taking the rest of the family here very soon. Very nice 👌

Great service and another great meal - we love it here!

Delicious food, great place to come as a group and the service was outstanding.

The atmosphere, service and food was exceptional! Andy made our evening so special :)

This place is absolutely amazing The staff, the chefs and the vibe is just perfect for a little date night or a catch-up over a coffee The coffee is probably the best coffee I've ever had around Sheffield, your always welcomed at the door as soon as you enter, staff are very attentive and always polite and always want to make sure your experience is the best it could possibly be During my visit, I was served by Millie, she was very attentive and so polite while I was there. Their drinks and food menus are dietary friendly with gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian and vegan options available so accommodate any dietary needs Their seasonal menu is just to die for, always bringing out the best flavours with the freshest ingredients locally sourced And the breakfasts are just sublime, I spoke with the owner Richard and he's got an Italian background so he knows what he's talking about when it comes to food! He was so polite and you can really see he has so much passion for his trade and wants to share that with everyone possible Definable worth a visit if your in Sheffield, you'll only be missing out if you don't! 11/10 spot on sharrow vale

We came here for a meal last Friday evening and wasn’t sure what to order. We asked the waitress if she would ask the chef to send out his recommendations and it ended up being the best meals we have had in Sheffield in a long time. The service is outstanding

The perfect breakfast spot! Food was amazing, staff were really friendly with great service. Have booked back in to try the evening menu.
