We love this place, a 2 night stay in Nottingham we do this at least 3 times a year. The food is beautiful we try to tie in a Sunday so we can have the Sunday roast it's gorgeous. The service is good and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Tiff is great she always comes to talk to us and we have abit of a laugh, she is full of good advice about things do and places to go to around the city. Next stay might be new year. Watch out Tiff we are coming back.

Nice staff & clean restaurant. Ordered two steaks medium - one came well done the other undercooked. Truffle mac & cheese portion was very small for the price and tasted bland and wings barely had any sauce on them. Overall food tasted okay. £86 dinner for 2 — we expected much better.

Went for a 21st birthday. Was not disappointing. Warm welcome at front desk - shown to the table. From the starter to the desserts all had there own little different taste style and accompaniment to the dishes. Female waitress very helpful polite and friendly. A good choice of venue - first time at this chain- steakhouse - will definitely be going again.

No sign saying dogs are not allowed. My Weimaraner is trained and restaurant tested. We have been to many restaurants and steakhouses in Munich, where I usually spend over €100 for two people. I've been to a few cafes and restaurants with him in the UK without any problems. Discriminatory towards dog owners.

First time visiting Bar and Block in Notts and we had a great time! Steak was cooked spot on and the scallops were perfect! We were served by Ella, we later found out that it her first shift and she was brilliant, she was polite and nothing was too much trouble!

Been here a few times and loved the meal. This time, I know it was a quiet time, 5pm, but we waited ages for someone asking what we wanted to drink after being seated. Then we checked the menu out, £29 for a steak and salad, £29 for steak and chips. Since when have we been anywhere where you don’t get the chips and salad both as part of a meal, especially for £29!!!! RIP off, then had to pay £4 for a partially burnt microwaved bake potato that was over cooked, no sour cream etc for it. Then because I wanted my steak medium to well I was told it would be butterflied to ensure it was cooked properly, with dried up samphire garnish. Needless to say we won’t be going again!!! Very poor value for money.

Excellent experience! Everything was top notch from friendly welcome by Harry to amazing service by Jordan. We had the speciality Chateau Briand after a selection of the small plates to begin, we definitely recommend the burnt ends, everything was cooked perfectly, well seasoned and beautifully presented. Thanks to chef Nag & team! Great selection of wines too that are sensibly priced, we will be back

It was my first visit here and on my list of places to try and thought it would be a nice place to come to celebrate my daughters gcse results. The decor and feel for the place was lovely. We were seen straight away and was welcomed by a lovely young lady called Jordan. She was so nice and friendly. When we got to our little booth a little card was left for my daughter to congratulate her and I thought that was a lovely touch. The food was so nice. My daughter kept making yummy noises - she had a burger and said it was 10/10 and I had steak sandwich and it was so soft and tasty! We had a little break between our lunch and pudding then Jordan came over with a slate that had well done on it and our brownies were unreal. We left very happy and full and we will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Bar+Block who helped me with this little celebration all the little things were really appreciated.

When the table was booked it was mentioned that it was for our wedding anniversary and when we arrived at our table they had decorated with a "Happy Anniversary" banner, that was a lovely little touch. We shared the Chateaubriand and we left the chef to do their thing on how it should be cooked and it was cooked to perfection, juicy, tender & delicious! All of the food was tasty & cooked well. The staff were very attentive & smiley. The cocktails were good and brilliant prices on 241. We will definitely be returning and I have already recommended to all of my friends. Thank you to the team!

I’m not a great lover of steaks in uk restaurants but their fillet steaks were perfectly cooked and very tasty. Equally their chunky chips were excellent. If you haven’t been before, like us, sign up and you get 25% off your food bill. Will definitely go to this chain of restaurants again

Recently visited after a day shopping. The place looks good. The server had forgotten to put our starters through. This wasn't an issue at all. The server was friendly, attentive, apologetic and we ate our starters afterwards. These were also comped by the restaurant which was appreciated. The issue here is that the food is mediocre pub grub at inflated prices. The steak mains were very average at best. The starters/small plates were of a very poor standard, blubbery fatty chicken wings and beef burnt ends and crispy beef. These were doused in sauce, which couldn't hide the poor quality of the meats. This is not a place I could recommend to go and eat. Staff were great, the food was not. 12/08/24 In response to restaurant. I feel your message in response is a tad disingenuous. You asked us how everything was and we told you it was 'ok, not great.' I have mentioned in my review that we had no issue with the service and mentioned we appreciated that the starters were comped. What more could you have done? We certainly would not expect much more. Our server was great and we had no issues there. This does not alter the fact that the food was mediocre at best. Edible, but of an average quality. I would add also, this is not aimed at the kitchen staff either. They can only work with the ingredients given, recipes provided. Perhaps rather than get precious about people issuing honest reviews online, efforts should be made to improve the standard of ingredients/food served.

Staff were nice and the the bar is okay. But the food is really not worth the price, cuts of meat aren’t a good quality and for the price you’re not served a good value. Would recommend for a drink but not for a good steak. They Recommend medium because of the marbling on the ribeyes. There was no marbling at all, just an off cut of meat. Would definitely go somewhere else if you know what good food is and don’t think Toby Carvery is the best place for a Sunday lunch.

My recent visit to Bar + Block Steakhouse left me with mixed feelings. The venue itself was impeccable—clean, well-presented, and exuding a welcoming ambiance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, which set a positive tone for our dining experience. I ordered the "Ultimate Roast," which was a mixed bag. The vegetables were fresh and well-prepared, and the dish was presented beautifully. However, the chicken skin was unfortunately burnt, likely due to overly high flames in the rotisserie. Despite this, the chicken meat was flavorful and juicy. The lamb and beef portions were disappointingly small, leaving me wanting more of these otherwise delicious meats. My partner opted for the fillet steak, which arrived as more of a joint than a traditional steak. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare as requested, the exterior was firmer than expected. This detracted from the typical melt-in-the-mouth experience that one would expect from a fillet. We had set our expectations high, naively anticipating a 4-star dining experience. While the decor, food presentation, and service lived up to this standard, the quality of the food did not quite meet our expectations on this occasion. The prices were reflective of a higher-end restaurant, which made the inconsistencies in food quality more noticeable. Overall, Bar + Block Steakhouse shows great potential, but there is room for improvement in the execution of their dishes to fully meet the high standards they aspire to. I hope to see these refinements on a future visit.

We stayed at this hotel a few years ago and really enjoyed it. So when we arrived back in Nottingham today we went for our evening meal in their restaurant. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. My son enjoyed his meal - burger with added bacon and french fries. However I had a vegetarian option and it was very poor. It was supposed to be their special salad but there was nothing special about it and certainly no avocado in it so it didn't live up to the description on the menu and certainly not worth the money. The supposed garlic potatoe side dish did not taste of garlic at all though the potatoes themselves were OK. So my son enjoyed his meal but I was very disappointed in mine. What really upset me was the waitress trying to hurry us out. She actually tried to take my plate away while I was still eating.When she did come back for the plates she reached over me and banged into me with them. Very rude. A shame because we had pleasant memories of our earlier stay at the hotel and now not so pleasant memories of the restaurant.

Clueless waiter. All over the place and didn’t know anything about drinks or allergies. Didn’t have a note pad to take our order. Missed an item off of our order and then when we payed told us that his manager had taken the till off as though paying cash was some kind of an inconvenience to him. Scallops were disgusting. 🤢 The drinks were not on our bill. Not sure if that was a gesture of good faith from the manager but I wasn’t told so I’m not too sure.

We have visited this restaurant around 6/7 times. On one occasion a while ago I had cause to say that the food wasn't a good meal, we had the steak sampler, we could not tell the difference between the sirloin, rump or fillet steaks. I spoke to the waitress who was very understanding and I couldn't fault her, she basically removed our whole bill which we were very impressed by. We have then visited a couple of times since, however, we visited this weekend again and when asked by the waitress I had to say that the food wasn't good, the steak was well cooked but poor quality and the chips were undercooked. She arranged for the manager to speak to me. I spoke to the young man at the bar and explained the issue and he said that all I do everytime I visit is complain. Totally stunned by what he said I was speechless. He said that as soon as he saw my details come up he knew I was going to complain!! I told him exactly where I sat when I had cause to explain that the food wasn't good enough. He said that isn't true and I complain everytime. Totally wrong. At this point I asked my wife to listen to what he was saying and she was amazed by what he said to us. I had to take her out as she was getting upset. If I complained everytime why would I keep going? So once I have mentioned that the food wasn't good enough does that mean that my card is marked? It appears so. As a business owner myself, the young guy who spoke to me needs a lot of retraining on how to deal with people because if I dealt with my customers like that I wouldn't have any left. I didn't want to write this review as I messaged Whitbread directly but 5 days later still haven't received a reply. Hopefully someone will read this and take action and improve the customer experience. Obviously I have been blackballed from this restaurant for having the gall to say that the food was substandard on one occasion. I will stick to independent businesses in future who actually care, sadly had to said.

I chose the ultimate and the food was amazing, maybe slight overcook on the broccoli but who cares when everything else was perfect.

Table booked 3pm Thursday dec 28th. We arrived, waited in the lobby, nobody came to greet us so we sat at the first table, just inside, the lady served someone at the bar and still didn’t come to us, my husband then went to the bar to get seated. Once seated we were given menus, one of the party has a nut allergy, we were given a booklet to read through, once you have chosen what you would like to eat you have to cross reference it in the booklet, it would be much more helpful for the menu to state the allegy information . Order for 4 meals placed, we waited for 30mins, which seemed a long time as it wasn’t busy at all. Two steaks ordered, when the waitress took the order, we asked what was included, basically everything is extra bar the fries. We paid £4 each for mushrooms, we had to pay for salad. I ordered a portion of garlic prawns, which I think were £6, when they arrived there was 2 prawns!! Onion rings were extra. The food was nice, but I do feel that you should get a plateful of food when paying nearly £30 each.

Visited here at lunch on the premise it was a steak restaurant and the pictures and reviews looked great. Lunch menu very limited and there was only one steak on the menu which read as though it was a quick cook minute steak. Wasn’t as expected and we left. Can’t comment on the food as I didn’t dine due to the limited menu choice. Would not recommend for lunch. The staff however were friendly and accommodating perhaps visit in the evening if it’s a steak you’re after. Given the name I was surprised at the lunch menu!

Staff attentive. Starter: scallops and prawns were hard and over cooked. Made member of staff aware. Steak chewy and grisly. Not the best steak I've ever eaten. End of sauce sachets found in my chips. Sorely disappointed. Won't be returning. Plenty of better steakhouses to...

A large group of ladies were dining as we went in the restaurant. They were very loud and spoiled our experience.

After trying over 8 restaurants in Nottingham on a very busy Saturday eve, the lovely lady on reception at bar and block found us a table. Staff were all lovely and the food was delicious. The cocktails were also beautiful and the bill was very...

We had a lovely dinner, food was delicious and the staff were very welcoming. Unfortunately, at the end of our meal we paid and left a small tip of a few quid (there was no service charge recommend on the bill). The waitress serving us walked away and remarked sarcastically ‘wow… i can buy a small red bull with this’. As a waitress myself i thought this was very rude and sadly left a bad taste about the entire experience as this was our first meal out in almost a year.

The service was lack lustre from what looked like a demotivated workforce and my burger was dry and poorly presented (see picture). This is such a shame as I booked a table for my son’s birthday and he was really looking forward to going to Fat Hippo. We were given a warm greeting and seated by a lovely young lady but when we were handed over to a young man with red hair and glasses, is where things went wrong. It was not busy (30% occupancy) but he was too engaged chatting at the end of the bar with his colleague (literally a few metres away from us) and it took him 10 mins to get us a drink order and took our drink and food order at the same time he took that long to come over. My son’s can of draft beer came and exploded all over the table (can looked like it had been agitated) yet we had to clean the table ourselves with napkins as he was too busy chatting. The food came and the chicken was overcooked and tough, and the bun dry. So much so we needed sauce to help it go down (for an extra £1) The decor is great, a really cool space but the service was of a level I would expect from a motorway service station, why could the cheery lady who greeted us not have served us. Such a shame as it used to be a great burger spot. Friday afternoon, 11 October 13:30.
