    Table booked for early dinner pre theatre (5.15) Saturday night. Lovely pub but just didnt deliver…read more There were veey few diners at that time as you would expect but waited 10 minutes for drinks to arrive and was almost 6pm when first course arrived. I had pork which was lovely but the dauphonoise potato and 2 springs of charred but raw brocolli were just not enough. Were then informed no fruit crumble and when asked to change custard for cream said had a problem with whipped cream but may have some pouring cream. Was very busy when we left but was not impressed as not cheap. Very disappointing meal.

    I have had a bit of dilemma before writing this review as I was expecting so much and .... well…read moreread on. Look fantastic with a great and really interesting menu. Called to book a table and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Arrived way too early with some time to kill but not a problem for the bar man who was keen to ensure that the glass of red house we ordered was what we wanted. The bar area had a very nice ambiance with some really comfy chairs that allowed us to while away our early arrival. With the wine going down nicely we ordered the Mediterranean bread to nibble on and it was delicious. Things were looking up for our first visit to this hostilely. Table for 4 was very pleasant and despite the large group with children nearby we were certainly not disturbed. Orders taken by the very jovial and helpful bar manager who interacted with the party with good humor and promptness. Then .... The beer breaded mushrooms were satisfactory and the garlic OK. It will be fine .... The main course arrived just before it got a bit silly and were all a little lackluster to be perfectly honest. Meals were just warm enough to ensure that nothing was said. Whilst the meals were presented well the taste just about lived up to expectations of the diners. Dessert, not this time thank you and after paying the bill little more than a side ways glance of a good bye. You know when you get that deflated moment when something does not quite live up to your expectations. We all felt it. I will visit again just in case this was a blimp in what was clearly a busy day for the staff but as a customer that was really not my problem. On leaving we did spot the giant chocolate eclair ......

    While at Trinity Chapel for a wedding rehearsal, we wandered off the grounds in search of lunch. I…read moredidn't have internet access (so, no Yelp sadly) and we agreed to stop at the first place we found. Lucky enough, The Senate was the spot! The menu is a fun mix of sandwiches, salads and small plates. I went with the soup of the day (split pea and mint with ham) and the peach prosciutto salad. Each dish was beautifully presented and SO flavorful. I enjoyed every bite and the rest of my party seemed to enjoy their choices as well. I loved the outdoor seating with sweeping views of Trinity College and excellent people watching.

    I visited The Senate on the morning of Saturday 13th August 2016 with several members of a choir…read morefrom Belfast who were staying in Ely for the week and who had arranged for a Saturday morning visit to King's College, Cambridge. We called at The Senate for breakfast and I was very pleased to see something unfamiliar to me, namely the sauté potato breakfast, on the menu. It was very enjoyable, though I wish that there had been pepper mills full of black pepper on coarse grind on the tables. That would have really made it as I would have dosed quite liberally on the stuff. Sitting al fresco provided a wonderful view for the holiday snaps and the service was excellent. Those teapots were impressively heavy - presumably of cast iron. I initially thought that mine had stuck to the table but it was the weight!

    We popped into Wildwood for a late lunch, the atmosphere and interior is nice and inviting and the…read morestaff are friendly. The menu is ok, it has something for everyone, seems to be a cross being Zizzi's Pizza Express and Prezo with the added options of items from the grill. I decided to go for the buttermilk deep fried chicken thinking that I would get grey meat, two thighs or something along those lines which has been deep fired in a seasoned flour, what I go was flatted chicken breast filet which was very dry and had next to no taste, seems the seasoning from the flour was missing altogether, my meal also came with the strangest coleslaw I have ever had it was basically pickled cabbage and onion and the fried sweet potato was poor, the fries were soggy not crispy. So on the hole my choice was a poor one. The wife went for the wild boar pizza which was very nice and on the standard on a pizza you would get from Prezo, Pizza Express or Zizzi's. On the whole wildwood is ok but but the menu is not the best and what you seems worthwhile ordering you can get for the same price elsewhere, but if you want to try somewhere different give it a go.

    Me and my boyfriend were wandering around Nottingham City Centre looking for somewhere to go for a…read moremeal, we wanted to go somewhere we hadn't been to before but where the food was a little different from our usual places. He was drawn in by the massive sign saying "Grills, Pasta, Pizza" and I was a bit hesitant at first but after glancing at the menu we decided to try it. And I can honestly say it was the best decision I've made all year! I was initially put off by the decor but once inside I realised how nice and simplistic it is. Has a very old fashioned railway feel to it however it can be a little misleading, whenever I'd walked past it before I thought it looked like it wasn't finished being decorated and that no one was ever inside. The truth is I think it was the high ceilings that give it this impression. Anyway, we were served by someone called Nico I think (according to the receipt) and he was lovely, always made sure we were happy with our food and asked if we wanted recommendations, had lots of knowledge about the menu and extremely helpful. The theme of the restaurant is Italian but with a slight twist. We decided to have a starter which is unusual for us but we decided to share it between us so we wouldn't be too full. We had meatballs in tomato sauce with cheese and I have to say, I never knew meatballs could taste so good. I could have easily eaten a whole meal size of just that, the meatballs fell apart in your mouth and the sauce and cheese were both gorgeous. We were actually regretting only ordering one portion! My boyfriend then ordered Cannelloni with meatballs in bechamel sauce with Nico's recommendation and also told us what the ingredients were as we'd never heard of bechamel sauce before. I ordered a pizza that had peri peri chicken, mushrooms and rosemary. I was a little reluctant at first as I'm not really one for herbs but it was very subtle, not at all overwhelming and I was just sad that I couldn't eat more of it! I tried my boyfriend's cannelloni too and it was fantastic, and I'm not really keen on creamy dishes. One thing that I really liked was that even before our meals came, Nico gave us an extra plate as I think he'd gathered that we liked to share our food. We didn't even have to ask for one, it's nice having waiting staff that use their initiative. The only thing that I didn't like was that I didn't have room for dessert as the dessert menu looked fantastic! There was a really good variation, most restaurants have all similar desserts and a small selection but Wildwood had a fair few to choose from, it took us long enough just to choose our mains because everything looked so good. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic too, everyone seemed really happy with their food and the restaurant itself is quite long so there were room for bigger parties. I think the only slight downside was our table was a little too small, I'd have liked a little more space but it wasn't something that was a major inconvenience. We had a good view into the kitchen too and it looked beautiful and well organised, you could see they had a good rhythm going and no one was getting stressed, all the staff seemed very happy which was nice to see. Overall we had one starter, 2 meals and one drink each for just over £35 which is an absolute steal considering the quality of the food. I've been recommending the restaurant to everyone I know and me and my boyfriend have said we'll definitely go again and want to make it a regular thing as we were disappointed we were too full to have dessert and we want to try everything on the menu!
