The prices are quite reasonable here and it does some decent food too. Being outside town it doesn't get as busy as some other places, the busiest time is probably when students are walking to town so about 7-9pm, and between these hours it can be pretty rammed. The staff are friendly and the decor is pretty nice in here, it was redone a few years back and has some nice comfy chairs in, it has an upstairs and downstairs bar too!

This rooftop bar and restaurant has an amazing terrace with amazing views of the city while being away from the hustle and bustle of street level. I have been there both for drinks (the cocktails are delicious!), birthday meals and even a romantic meal for two as Saltwater caters for all occasions. The food is good British, local produce by night and summer-ry barbecues by day. Although it is set within Nottingham's cornerhouse complex, the vibe changes as soon as you enter the bar with chilled DJs and contented chatter - Saltwater's a great place to celebrate, catch up and relax.

It really gives you a completely different view of the city - and one that is quite beautiful. In fact, there's a balcony - open in the summertime for drinking your cocktails and champagne - smashing! The food is very nice. Traditional western cuisine cooked well, and specialising - unsurprisingly - in fish. They have a good selection of tempting fish dishes to try, in both starters and mains. The desserts have always been a hit with my wife. However, although the coffee is good, they've gone a bit too European with the size of coffee cup - I like my tongue to be wet from the coffee - one shot does not suffice!!! You can eat here on a budget if you order carefully, or if you take advantage of their lunch time two/three course menu. Later in the evening it turns a bit more bar-esque, and is a nice place to drop in for a drop of something warming after the cinema, before bed!

Restaurant Review…read more Sinatra's Bar & Restaurant Nottingham We were invited by Chef Sam to dine at Sinatra's prior to the launch of their Autumn Winter menu. Sam explained how he has endeavoured to inject a fresh approach to Bistro Dining at Sinatra's using local produce and creative twists on traditional flavour pairings. With the recent Casual Dining revival, it was refreshing to see this enthusiasm of ethos be transferred to the plate in what proved to be a stunning Brasserie/Bistro experience. The Menu is varied and with a Lunch Set Menu also available. Gluten Free options are plentiful and all dietary requirements are catered for. The journey began with Pan Seared Scallops, Black Pudding, Caramelised Apple, and Crispy Pancetta. The presentation was delightful (pictured) with everything cooked perfectly. That unforgettable texture contrast of Scallop and Black Pudding is always a winner but this was executed with finesse. Thankfully, the finesse continued with mains. Pan Roasted Duck Breast, Date Purée, Honey & Orange Mash, Sautéed Leeks, Red Wine Jus (pictured) stole the show with beautifully earthy flavours and that sweet and citrus edge from the Dates and Orange respectively. The Fresh Salmon Fillet, Lemon & Herb Sautéed Potatoes, Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Olives and Tartare Sauce (pictured) was so perfect for this time of year. I think the Sinatra's ethos is personified by this dish. If you have read our other reviews or follow us on Twitter @hoothospitality you'll be aware of our obsession for the Sticky Toffee Pudding (pictured)... it was promptly ordered. Our Server explained we were in for a treat and she wasn't wrong. It was light and fluffy yet packed with flavour, absolutely superb and a lovely way to end what was a beautiful Brasserie/Bistro experience. We would highly recommend you joining Sinatra's in their quest at Brasserie perfection. There is no pretension, just simple food executed with panache. Follow on Twitter @SinatrasNottm or Like their Official Page here on Facebook. Thanks to Sam and the team. Highly recommend #HootHint #Nottingham

Unadulterated mediocrity makes for a tough review, especially when you're limited to a five-star…read morerating. While two stars seems like a miserly score, Yelp's accompanying description sums up my experience at Sinatra's perfectly: Meh. I've had better. Me and my girly visited Sinatra's for my impromptu birthday dinner yesterday evening. We decided to go at the last minute and, due to the glorious weather, everyone in Nottingham had decided to go out too, so it was to be expected that a lot of the nicer restaurants might be quite busy. However, this was the exchange between myself and waiter 'Mark' (I can't remember if this was his name or not), who greeted us when we entered: Mark: Table for two? Me: Yes please. Mark: Did you book in advance? Me: Uh... no. Mark. Oh, well, sorry - we're very busy. Uh... what? You can't start by offering us a table and *then* ask if we've made reservations, then refusing us a table! I thought I'd try the pulling the birthday card to see if it made any difference: Me: It *is* my birthday, though. Mark: Well then you should have booked. Wow - Mark clearly wasn't paying attention in Customer Service School. At this point I lost any interest I had in Sinatra's and turned to walk away. I think Mark may have panicked slightly at this point and offered us a table in the Bistro. This is a section of Sinatra's that isn't any different to the main restaurant except that it's closer to the bar and has comfier chairs. I ordered the Chicken & Bacon Caesar Salad and we had a side garlic bread and fries (which were recommended by Mark). The food was completely unremarkable, with the exception of the bacon my Caesar Salad which, rather than being chopped up or diced pancetta-style, were served as two whole strips resting atop my salad and looked like they had been cured for a long sea voyage. Impressively, the bacon tasted even worse than it looked, with a horrible overbearing residual flavour of salt and fat. The fries tasted exactly the same, only with twice as much salt. This may seem fairly picky, but why do Sinatra's serve bacon and fries flavoured exclusively with sodium and lard, then give me a small pot of cheap low-fat mayonnaise? The service was fine, although I was obviously put off by Mark following our initial exchange. This was not helped when the bill arrived with a 10% service charge automatically added with no mention of it being 'voluntary' or any option to have it removed. I never tip unless the service is exceptional, so to force my hand into paying extra for such average service and a far-less-than exceptional meal is bordering on offensive. Of course, the only way to have the extra 10% removed would have been to call someone over, take exception to the charge, get a new bill printed, and in the meantime know that the waiters would be pointing me out to each other through the kitchen doors and telling each other what a complete asshole I am. As it was my birthday, I decided to skip this step and pay the 10%. Sinatra's isn't terrible, but it is distinctly unremarkable, bordering on being a bit rubbish. If you want a standout Italian meal for a decent price, good service and an *optional* service charge, try Strada instead.

The…read moregirl behind the bar told us to take a seat instead of waiting at the bar and came and took our order for drinks from our table. I love the leather seats they are really comfortable like sofas even and I sank right down in my seat straight away. The atmosphere was relaxing. There was music but it wasn't intrusive. We could happily chat away without having to shout. The young barmaid brought our wine over to our table for us and even poured it for us. She did come back over when the bottle was empty and ask if we wanted any more but other than that she didn't bother us. The only downfall was the fact that the ladies is up 2 flights of stairs which could be a problem if you leave it too late. The food is quite reasonable too although we weren't eating on this occasion. A lovely alternative to Wetherspoons if you are looking for an afternoon tipple.

The prices are fairly well priced, they dont have special cheap nights but they do sell the lovely guiness red.
