The food was not complex but exquisitely done, with subtle flavours to savour. A good wine selection and knowledgeable staff to help you through the choices if required.

Quite a busy Sunday breakfast spot! Did not book, but that was not a problem and seated fairly…read morequickly. Extensive breakfast menu with many dishes to choose from. Also, a good amount of veggie options, for those that prefer meatless. Bottomless coffee came with our breakfasts- always a good thing in my book when it comes to breakfast! Food was well presented and very generous! The poached eggs are real, as I had some shell in mine! Beans, fresh tomato, 2 slices of toast, bacon was a bit anaemic and possibly boiled not grilled/ fried? Sausages were ok and the potatoes- not really sure what that yellow curry looking sauce was, a bit salty but not too offensive! Probably would go without next time! A good experience, still as loud in the morning as it is lunch and dinner. Staff are lovely and do a great job!

I could give Damons 4 stars just for the decor; it is just like walking back in time. Did the last…read more30 years not happen for them? Seriosuly, though the decor is tacky, but so tacky it is cool. Think lots of black furniture and red, and tasteless patterns. It is so ridiculous it is cool. I liked it, anyway. As for the food, well...the menu is enormous, both in size and content. As it was only lunchtime when we visited (August 2010) we refrained from the enormous feasts and diverted away from something called Onion Loaf (it appears to be onion rings, but loaf-style). We opted to share a platter of ribs and side dishes. The ribs were great. Not necessarily the best I have ever had, but still good. The sides were ok - I would like my fries to be thinner and crispier. The service was excellent though and I found our waiter to be super-friendly. But the best part was the chocolate milkshake, the only wish with that was that it was too small! If you are on your way to Lincoln definitely stop by Damon's, if only for the experience.

My party and I…read morewere only planning on coming here once during our brief stay in Lincoln, but it was so fantastic we actually had to come the next day as well. I will start off by saying the interior is very neat and rustic-quire cozy. All the service was quite friendly and prompt! A major highlight of our visit was absolutely the soup they were offering at the time: roasted parsnip. I have never had a soup like that. What a humble parsnip must dream of becoming... to be cooked into this exalted state of being! Seasoned to perfection and served with homemade bread and salted butter, it was so divine that my mouth is watering just thinking about it as I write. Truly a marvel. All the pies were skillfully crafted and gorgeous. Beautiful pastry and well seasoned fillings, accompanied with your choice of mash. I particularly liked the cheese and leek as well as the wholegrain mustard mash. I tried a vegetarian pie with goat cheese our first night, then a more classic chicken pie the next. Both were magnificent and the portions absolutely giant! They also have both the traditional hot-water crust pies in addition to puff pastry, so it's a nice variety. As we visited around Christmastime, my party and I also benefited from the delicious mulled wine and holiday puddings, which all hit the spot. This is somewhere which, if you visit Lincoln, you absolutely must not miss!

Il Castello is a very good restaurant in a town with an abundance of Good Restaurants,…read moreI have eaten here with my wife on more than one occasion, in our opinion this restaurant is Special enough to use for special occasions, but not so exclusive that you can't use it for a casual night out. It has some pretty weighty neighbours, Cafe Bleu, and the newly opened Moorings in its midst, but It easily holds it's own. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxed, the Italian country theme is carried well throughout the dining room and reception area, where the impressive wine rack is on display. Service is Brilliant some of the best in Newark, The food is Brilliant, plenty of time to enjoy it, you aren't rushed, and as an endorsement we have seen real Italian customers on vacation in the UK using the restaurant. The Location and current re-development of what was a handy car park makes it very difficult to park near the restaurant, and it doesn't stand out from the road which is a shame, but also makes it feel slightly more exclusive. Well worth a visit.

The restaurant is underneath the main shop, but it feels cosy rather than basement-y, with white walls and plush blue velvet curtains. We had some french people stay with us once, and they really wanted to try proper fish and chips, so we brought them here. They weren't disappointed - who could be with light, crispy battered haddock and fluffy golden chips on offer, with proper mushy peas and gravy that tastes like it's been made for a roast dinner? Ommmm.
