Marc & Daina's in Nottingham

Happened upon this place at random and had the early bird 3 course. There was 2 of us. We walked in and were the only people in there. We were met with a fusty smell (ultimately this didn't matter as the review is still 5 stars). It was silent as we came in but upon seating some ambient music was put on which was nice. The lady was served us was attentive and very pleasant, the timing of the food and spacing between courses was good. We had the soup of day (red pepper and tomato) and pate (stilton) for starters, steak stroganoff and crispy pork belly for main and sticky toffee pudding and baked cheesecake for dessert. The dishes aren't big but they're not small either. The food is presented very nicely and the soup came with a lovely warm roll. The stroganoff was so very tasty, the beef melting away nicely and the pork belly showing a lovely crisp to it with a healthy selection of veg and potatoes. Seasoning is on the table, presumably for you to do to taste. Whilst usually a bigger eater, the servings being a little small mattered not as they were very flavourful so that having a large portion may have been too rich so I actually agree with the portion sizes. I was debating a 4* solely due to the fusty smell upon entry but I don't know if its a fixable problem and tbh, you get used to it after a couple mins. Ultimately that doesn't detract away the fact I really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere (even though we were the only ones in), the service and the price and that I would happily return.

Cozy French restaurant in the heart of Sherwood. Very friendly staff and a great menu selection. We chose the chicken and chorizo salad and the scallops for starters which were very tasty. Main’s were the braised lamb and the swordfish and steamed vegetables, good portion sizes and a delicious jus with the lamb. Deserts were the crème brûlée and the passion fruit cheesecake which were the perfect ending to a lovely evening. Recommend this restaurant if you’re in Sherwood.

Real gem of a restaurant. Been meaning to give it a go for a while. Friendly service with excellent food. We all really enjoyed our visit.

I don't like giving poor reviews but unfortunately I have to after a recent first visit here. We went during their 'Early bird' offer between 17:45 and 19;00. We entered the restaurant and was immediately welcomed with a 'fusty' smell. No other customers were inside and this should have set our alarm bells ringing for a Saturday evening. Daina greeted us and was very pleasant. She turned the ambient music on which was Michael Buble!! We ordered a glass each of house red which was very nice and came in a large glass. We weren't given the choice of size. We weren't informed of or offered the 'Early bird' menu so just ordered a main each, one Steak Cassoulet and a Chicken Chasseur. I have been to France many times and have friends who live there so appreciate what a cassoulet should be. Unfortunately this one was just several pieces of over done stewing steak in a watery sauce with a few sliced mushrooms. Accompanying it was a teaspoon size portion of potato which was described on the menu as dauphinoise potatoes. The accompanying vegetables were overdone and unseasoned. The bill came and we noticed we had been charged for two large glasses of wine that we hadn't been given a choice to have but that's beside the point as we were very disappointed with the quality of the dishes. This place could be a little gem but reading reviews similar to ours from 2015 (that we now wish we had read before visiting) it appears not a lot has changed and the owners take umbrage to constructive reviews instead of listening to customers honest opinions. Overall lovely people but poor food unfortunately and we won't be going back.

Just had a wonderful meal with excellent service here. I recommend the sea bass. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. If you want high quality food at reasonable prices and a quaint atmosphere please try this restaurant.

Visiting this exquisite restaurant is always an absolute delight! The culinary experience never fails to surpass expectations, with each dish being nothing short of outstanding. The attentive service from Diana and Marc adds to the pleasure of the dining experience. The atmosphere exudes elegance and sophistication, making every visit a memorable occasion. For anyone seeking a truly exceptional dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit! Great selection of wine

The food and hospitality was delightful and Diana is extremely hospitable. We spent three hours at our dinner table and we did not even know that the time had flown by! Highly recommend the 'Early Bird' menu. We would visit again.

What a wonderful couple, Daina in very personable and friendly. The service was outstanding, wine was excellent. Should have visited a long time ago. We will be returning and bringing our staff Food wise Starter- mushroom basket and scallops, both very good Mains- chicken chaser and pork belly. Equally very good. I am looking forward to trying the sea bass!! Thank you for making us feel special😀😀

Thank you Marc and Diana for a lovely evening and excellent food. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Alan and Kate

Amazing fresh home cooked food beautifully presented. Early bird menu 3 courses £24.95. Unbelievably good value.Very personable service . Highly recommend .

Saturday night evening as a couple. It was a nice place and enjoy the food there. Nice and quiet place to go out for a nice meal

Great food, Lovely atmosphere where you could have a conversation without completing with loud music

Lovely little French restaurant, very homely feel. They even gave us a bag of bay leaves each which was really sweet 🥰

The food was exceptional. Daina was such lovely host. We sat in the beautiful back garden and ate outside because it was such a hot day. Highly recommend

Small, family run restaurant which serves excellent food. The soup of the day was simple, tasty and fresh, the nicest I have had in years. My beef stroginof melt in the mouth and my wifes sea bass lovely. Nice wine, good friendly service. Very reasonable prices for such a high standard. We ate midweek, and it was surprisingly quiet. A little gem of a place.

Very lovely and helpful hostess

Great food Marc, lovely hostess Daina. Loved it🤗. Sets the standard for other restaurants 👍

Well it doesn't get much better than this the food was delicious 😋 and very hot and the place is nice it just a great experience a nice little place if you're in the area and fantasy some good food I recommend it x

This is our favourite place to eat. Would highly recommend to everyone

First time in this restaurant,very welcoming owner's all food freshly cooked And good. Only problem was mid week and very quite so 3* for atmosphere 👍

Lovely staff. Food was really nice. Fresh fish and really tasty beef casoulette. Would definitely come back

For my birthday 🎉. The food was superb and the service was very friendly. Warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend you go to Marc & Daina's Restaurant.

A beautiful place. Love the fact they have carpeted flooring, it's gives a real homely warmth to the atmosphere. I belive it was Daina who served us. She is ever so lovely and friendly. We were slightly disappointed that they dont do escargo or frogs legs but the food that we did have made up for that feeling of loss. The sauces for the dishes were the best sauces I've ever eaten and never have I ever had such a moist and succulent piece of chicken! All was beautiful! Would definitely recommend.

I have been dining here since Marc and Daina took over and they never fail to impress. Delicious, pleasurable experience every time.

Fantastic food really lovely service. Wasn't sure what rose wine to choose let us try both bottles to decide what we preferred

Excellent meal. Beautifully cooked and presented food. French cuisine.

We visited here, having passed it for years and ways saying we would try it. We opted for the early bird menu and we're not disappointed. The food was cooked to perfection and the service was friendly and welcoming. A perfect evening out and we will be back!

What an amazing place! Visited a couple of days ago with my fiance and we were more than satisfied with the service and food. Beautifully presented food and tasted amazing! For starter we shared the risotto, my partner had the Lamb main and myself tried the Chicken with Port and Stilton sauce. Service was 10/10 👌 Definitely returning again! Bianka & Fabian

We went on Saturday 16th July to celebrate two family birthdays. What an absolute delight. A warm welcome by Daina, she made so welcome. The food was stunning. You could taste that the food was prepared and cooked with a passion. Also would recommend the house red, it was fabulous. At the end of the meal it was lovely to meet Mark, the chef and have a foodie chat. This gem of a reataurant in Sherwoods main high street is a gem, and is definately worth a visit. We shall return soon.

Friendly staff, excellent meal - I really couldn’t fault it! We enjoyed sitting in the garden to finish our wine after the meal.

Bit of a birthday treat for me. We have been meaning to back for sometime. We didn't book as it was an early evening on a Tuesday we thought to take our chance. At first we were the only ones in but to women did come in later. Now the food I had the spiced coconut rissiotto which came withba side salad and homemade french dressing. Very light and fresh not too much of a kick. TOH had the roast pepper and tomato soup. Given that it was a baking hot day it was served luke warm again very tasty. For mains I had the mussules came with a spicy broth. Very meaty mussels and a nice broth. TOH had the sea bass which just flaked as soon as you tried to cut it. Very tender and nice. Dessert time I had the creme brulee very good crunch on the topping and light inside. TOH had the honeycombe ice cream. The food the service was spot on. My only complaint would be the decor. It is dark inside and we felt looked a bit tired.

Very good, nice atmosphere and relaxing, great food aswell

The most disappointing dinner I’ve had in a long time. Good service and friendly staff but both the duck and pork belly were virtually inedible There was a funky smell in the restaurant as well Would not recommend :(

Fantastic food and fabulous service.

This was our first visit to this restaurant in Sherwood, Nottingham. I can honestly say that everything was absolutely spot to on. We have driven past this restaurant on our way into Nottingham so many times and said that we ought to give it a try. We are so pleased that we did !! First of all we received a very warm welcome from Daina - she ch a little very and friendly lady. We had starters and main course and the food was cooked to perfection. I had chicken and my wife had sea bass and both were perfect. We even had the opportunity to speak with Marc and Daina afterwards who told us a bit of history about the restaurant. We would highly recommend this restaurant !!

Tonight's Dinner Marc and Dainas Sherwood French Restaurant This restaurant has been here for nearly 20 years and this was our first visit, located next to Ginza. It's soley run by a Husband Chef and Wife front of house you can guess their names. We were walking past one night and only noticed them because they have had a new brightly lit shop front. In their window we saw they do an early evening 3 course set price menu for £18.50. We had Starters Mushroom Basket Chorizo & smoked cheese Salad Mains Grilled chicken chasseur sauce Steak Stroganoff with spiced Rissotto Came with a bowl of veg Desserts Baked cheesecake with a shot Irish cream Passion fruit Creme Brulee It's old school dining with good home cooked french food. The portions are good too. There was one table taken when we arrived but it soon filled up quickly. It's worth a visit if your in the area. We shall definitely return.

Had our office Christmas meal here and just wanted to say thank you for a great evening. The food was wonderful but not too expensive and the service was really good.

Nice place, nice food, good service

I would not return to this restaurant . No atmosphere, only the four of us peak time on Saturday night. Not good food, very salty, no flavour and definitely not classic dauphinois potatoes! Nice staff and good service but not worth £70 for four.

We have spent a long while walking past Marc & Daina's, it's underwhelming, tucked away. Don't be put off, the food is superb, honest, quality, perfectly prepared and served, fresh, not over-priced or pretentious. Good wine at good prices. We will go again. It's relaxed, calming, a lot like that wonderful little family run restaurant you stumble across on holiday. Confit Duck, Steak Chasseur and a good bottle of red, what's not to like?

Love this restaurant, certainly the best in Sherwood. The food is very tasty and cooked fresh. The hostess is excellent. How we have missed this restaurant over the years is beyond us, but certainly our number 1 place to go in the future.

First class service & food... highly recommended

We had a fantastic meal at Marc and Dainas. The food was authentic and incredibly tasty at good prices. Daina is a great host and we look forward to coming back soon!

The waitress and the chef or maybe he was the manager, were both very nice. Food was good as well. ❤

It was our first visit but won't be our last. We went for the early bird menu really good choice of starters and mains, but could do with another dessert choice. The food was really tasty, served with a really nice selection of well cooked vegetables. My dessert was a perfect passion fruit creme brulee, served with the perfect caramelised sugar and a warm chocolate orrange sauce the best I've had. The deco is very old school but there is nothing wrong with that. The service is again old school great attentive service.

I don't particularly like leaving poor reviews for places, especially small, family run establishments. Unfortunately, as the issues were completely avoided by our waitress whilst in the restaurant, I feel compelled to leave a review. The place was nice enough, although the music was too loud and the place smelled slightly musty. The waitress was polite, took our order and the meal started out well with our starters which were both very nice. The problem started with the main course. We both ordered the confit of lamb which is one of the most expensive dishes on the menu. When I tasted it, it was so unbelievably dry, tough and did not taste at all like lamb. I told the waitress that the lamb was incredibly dry only to be told that "It's a confit, it's supposed to be dry, it's cooked for two and a half hours and it's just different tastes, some people like their lamb well done." She then walked away. Okay so let's back up a minute...firstly I am actually French so I know full well what a confit is! I know for a fact, having eaten confit many times in France, that confit is anything but dry! Quite the opposite in fact, confit meats cook and tenderize with virtually no moisture or flavour loss - the meat is well done but not at all dry. Confit is supposed to be moist, tender and full of flavour; it's so tender that it falls apart on your plate and melts in your mouth. This wasn't a case of lamb well done, it wasn't a confit either, nor was it about 'different tastes'; it was simply a very overcooked, dry, tough and flavourless piece of meat, which quite frankly for a French restaurant is pretty poor. The red wine jus that accompanied it was nice and the veg were OK, but neither of these made up for the fact that the lamb was absolutely terrible. I couldn't eat mine at all, my partner ate his and some of mine mainly for not wanting to throw £34 down the drain. As for the crêpes suzette, I'm really not sure what they were either. Wasn't crêpes suzette that's for sure! Some may like them, they weren't terrible, they just didn't taste like crêpes suzette. The crêpes were too thick, sweet and soggy (not thin, slightly crispy on the outside French crêpes), there was too much sauce, they didn't look or taste like they'd been flambéd (they certainly weren't flambéd at the table, which of course they should be) & I couldn't taste the Grand Marnier. I'm not sure what the other dishes on the menu are like, they seem to have a lot of good reviews so I guess there must be some things they're good at. All I can say is avoid the lamb at all costs! As for us, we won't be eating here again.

What a great little restaurant. We had a warm welcome from the waitress who was friendly and very attentative. The restaurant was small but cosy. The food was delicious and well served . The service was second to none. The wine was good. And the prices reasonable. This is not a copybook restaurant so if your looking for something different ( French cuisine) look no further you really can't go wrong here. I Heartily recommend this restaurant to you.

Lovely family run place, They have been here 19 years and still getting it right! Service great, food great and portion size great.

Fantastic meal, brilliant service and very friendly. Would really recommend this restaurant. I will definitely be going back.

I have eaten at 5 star restaurants around the world. The food in this restaurant is on par if not better. Why is this a hidden gem in Nottingham only cane across the restaurant by chance. Highly recommended.

This independent, family-run place is a hidden gem in Sherwood. Classic French style cuisine, very reasonably priced and friendly service. We paid £18.95 for 3 courses as part of an early evening offer, but would happily pay full price whenever we can make it there.

Fantastic place used them for over 10 years always good quality food . Atmosphere is nice and relaxed easy to have a conversation with out all the extra noise you get in some restaurants . Because of lockdown just had a takeaway food still hot and full of flavour

I love this restaurant. The food is consistently good and the patrons are very friendly. We have been eating at this restaurant for years and have never had a disappointing meal.

Wonderful food and service. The pork belly was perfect! Thank you for a perfect night ☺️

Fantastic food and so friendly and welcoming..recommended very much

Diabolical. Food terrible. Decor disgusting. The whole place is just dirty. Won’t be going there again

Mi novia y yo fuimos a cenar anoche y lo pasamos muy bien. Tuve la sopa del día seguida por el pato y ambos estaban deliciosos. Mi novia estaba igualmente feliz con sus vieiras y mejillones. Luego ambos disfrutamos generosas porciones de helado de panal de postre. La camarera, Daina, creo, fue amable y muy servicial con respecto a mi alergia a los huevos. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente visitar!

Un gran restaurante en Sherwood, no sabía qué esperar, pero estaba más que gratamente sorprendido. Esta no fue mi primera opción, pero probablemente lo será en el futuro.La comida está recién preparada y la gente que dirige el lugar es muy amable.¡Me decepcionó que no hubiera más gente el sábado por la noche!Entra allí, te estás perdiendo un regalo.

A real surprise, the food and service was amazing. Freshly cooked with a select menu the people that run the place are also really friendly. This wasn't my first choice, as doesn't look appealing from outside. However I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend going to this place. I'd probably go back on my own.

Lovely meal which we enjoyed in the comfort of our own home during lockdown. Can't wait to visit the restaurant when everything reopens again. Thank you Marc and Daina!

Your response to a review mocking mental health is down right vile and disgusting And who ever wrote that review your in the wrong job. absolutely shameful !!! I will never eat and your disgusting restaurant and I will make sure I tell others of your vile attitude

In response to your reply the the review left titled ‘rude and not interested in Groupon customers’ the table was booked on the 25th January and no where on the restaurant website or The Groupon voucher in terms and conditions did it state that the vouchers would not be valid over Valentines weekend and that it would be a set Valentines menu at a set price. If this was the case these should be clearly stated on your website and on the Groupon voucher. The fact that you weren’t excepting Groupon vouchers over this particular weekend was not the issue, it was the way in which I was spoken too! If I had been spoken to politely and with respect then we wouldn’t of hesitated in re-booking. However from reading your replies to other dissatisfied customers I am a little relieved that we did cancel.

The atmosphere is really dark and dated. There is a constant smell and it is really cold. The food on the menu makes you think the food will be really good but all the 3 courses we had were fail. They just looked good. I was still hungry when we left. Service is really slow as well. On the plus side, the waiter was kind.

After buying a groupon voucher for my sister and husband as a gift, they booked a table for Feb 15th through the groupon app. My sister then called the day before to ask what time she had booked for to be told she hadn’t. The guy on the booking desk was rude saying ‘groupon this weekend - laughed and said no chance’ my sister then called me to explain and had found the booking reference email. I called to try and sort the problem out only to be told the same only this time the guy didn’t laugh but kept sighing to the point I actually asked if I was Inconveniencing him, to which he replied - if you have a problem with the customer service and it’s a groupon voucher, speak with them! I did and they were amazing and gave me my money back! I will certainly not be going again or recommend them to anyone. Shame.

Very impressed with the whole evening will definitely be going again

Lovely atmosphere lovely staff and beautiful meal will go again

We popped into Marc and Daina's on spec and had a beautiful meal. The mussels for starters delicious and the chicken with a Stilton sauce the most delicious sauce I have ever tasted. Would really recommend.

Went here for my birthday on a Thursday, just 3 sets of 2 including my husband and I. Music 10 out of 10. The belly pork is good but you don't get much.

Yes this is not the most modern place but the food is great. Came with my husband for an early dinner. This is about our 6th visit as we dont live far. We both had a different beef dish and both enjoyed it. If you are unsure about a visit book for early and take advantage of their great value early bird deal.

I dont often write reviews on here, only if I feel it necessary. Unfortunately this is one of those times. We brought a Groipon Voucher 3 course for 2 people - £27 Very reasonable price and good discount we thought - Wrong - upon arriving we noticed a sign in the window saying 3 courses £13.50pp (an early bird type offer) as we were booked at 6.30pm we fell into this time frame and so it seems had received no discount whatsoever via Groupon. On entering the establishment our first impression was that it looked like an ex-chinese takeaway, it was very dark, the whole restaurant was so dated, old fashioned carpet on the floor and a wooden suspended ceiling with the roof beyond painted dark red, 1980s type patterned glass panelling, it was cold (we were not the only ones to think this as one girl on a nearby table put her coat back on and sat there with it on) and the smell of the kitchen all through the restaurant (which I personally dont like, my clothes and hair stunk of cooking when we left) and not a table cloth in sight, just brown varnished wooden tables. I reassured my husband who looked mortified, that the food was probably brilliant (it wasnt but more on that later) We wer seated by a young polite boy and passed the plastic menu folder who explained that the drinks are at the back (they're not, the wine is at the back which neither of us drink) We were then left too long, sat without a drink, before being asked what we wanted to order to drink or eat. The waitress then didnt know what beers or gins you serve (she had only been there 2 days she said so we forgave that) she then asked "what food do you want" not the most polite way to be asked. Drinks came, cheap very fizzy tonic was my first thought, we only had 1 drink each, we made it last. We was not at any point offered table water although glasses seemed to be on the table for that, we could of asked yes, but would have been nice to have been offered. My napkin was dirty. We ordered Mushroom basket & Chorizo and cheese salad to start. My mushroom thing was nice but the side salad was non exciting and absolutely drowned in dressing as the waiter came round with an old wine bottle full of homemade dressing & it glugged out at the speed of light. My husband said his starter was like he'd make at home, which is acceptable, but you dont go out for a meal to eat like you'd make at home. We then had to wait a good 20-30 minutes before our mains came out, I was getting VERY frustrated at this point. Another table that had finished their starters after us got their mains before ours which I thought was wrong. We both had the Beef Cassoulet for main, this was dolloped on the plate which was swimming in gravy. The meat seemed dry an overcooked within the juice, the accompanying dauphinoise were nice, the side of veg were ok, the 2 chunks of fresh orange in there were not to our taste at all with the veg. Whilst eating our mains a couple arrived and sat at the table directly next to us, their faces on arriving spoke volumes and she said to him after being seated "do you want to leave and try somewhere else?" he declined and said the food might be great. She then also commented on how freezing it was in there. For desert my husband had the cheese (£3 surcharge) and i had the double chocolate baked cheesecake. I have a very sweet tooth and love desert, not this one, I couldn't taste chocolate at all, all I could taste was cinnamon, it was served with a watered down tot of Irish cream which just basically washed around the plate, I couldn't eat it, I left it n shared my husbands cheese. We paid £13 on our bill for our drinks and the cheese surcharge (having already paid £27 for the Groupon) so £40 in total, which was more than enough for the evening we had. Would I recommend this place NO, would I go here again NEVER, was I disappointed TERRIBLY. I've given 2 starts because the food was ok if nothing special at all and it wasnt the waitresses fault she'd been let loose front of house on a Saturday night without proper training.

We ate here last night, having used a groupon offer. The food was of a high standard, well prepared and delicious over all three courses. The patrons were most helpful and friendly. This is a great local restaurant which represents very good value.

I went to this restaurant with my wife a couple of weeks ago. I would not recommend it. She wrote a review, the owner answered by saying we had not payed and we left no tip, both of which are untrue. Daina was not even there. We had a groupon voucher so had already paid before hand, that was why we stayed for the meal, we gave the very pleasant waiter a tip and we paid for the wine we had had.

Marc & Drinks is a very nice and friendly place to eat, the staff are very welcoming and the food is lovely, we look forwards to trying more of the menu, early evening offer of £13.50 for 3 courses is very good value for money.

No atmosphere, bad decoration, gloomy, food poor. Only redeeming thing was the service by the young lad who was very friendly and attentive.

Beautiful meal, 3 course. Fantastic service, nice warm greeting and very looked after. Food was delicious, perfect portion sizes.

The food was out of this world and had a very friendly atmosphere and was a gorgeous restaurant would recommend to any one.

3rd visit to this place and not dissapointed. Had the 3 course early bird menu, everyones meals were lovely. Well worth a try.

Restaurant was cold, food was well presented but meat was overdone and sauces were bland. Great service though.

Nunca he estado aquí antes, sitúese en una calle principal muy transitada, aunque se permite el estacionamiento de automóviles; Fue solo después de que nos fuimos que encontramos un pequeño estacionamiento general cerca.

Visité con una oferta grupal y me alegro de haberlo hecho, habría sido muy infeliz si hubiéramos tenido que pagar el precio completo.

The food was delicious and staff pleasant. Would recommend. The evening was very quiet, but don’t let that put you off.

Llegamos al pequeño restaurante sin esperar demasiado, ya que nos gusta probar algo sin mirar las críticas, pero el servicio y la comida fueron increíbles. Teníamos una tarjeta de sabor que Daina no había visto en mucho tiempo, pero nos trató como a la realeza, que es algo que no siempre se obtiene con tarjetas de sabor o si se agrupa. Muchas gracias. Después de unas vacaciones canceladas, fue una noche de bienvenida. UNA

Have walked past this place a lot. Its facade hides a little gem. We went for the early bird menu and it is superb value for money the food is delicious and the service excellent .I will be returning.

Exceptionally friendly welcome and service in a real local restaurant serving up good food... Particularly the Baileys Chocolate Cheesecake

Service and food excellent value I can't understand why it's not full every night

Great service amazing food will definitely be back

Agree with most of the average/poor feedback. How anyone can use this place for a “celebration” is beyond me, when there are superb restaurants like World Service in Nottingham that know about customer service and quality. Had to try it out of curiosity and would happily not return. Can see why they depend on Groupon which is a hit and miss deal but this one is the latter.

We booked to go on a Thursday, early evening for a works meal (wasn't necessary as we were the only ones in there) The food was nice + very tasty although very small portion sizes with the meat (lamb and pork) Had 2 courses each which was fairly good value. Would go again to try some of the other dishes

Service was ok, probably the best part of the meal. Food is ok, but very bland, not exciting. I finished my plate but would not order again. The place needs to be redecorated. It is dark and has carpet on the floor with a not very inviting smell. I would not go again.

looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate our "not" Anniversary ( used to be anniversary but we have got married since. 9 years!! since we met. Already had the lunch out to recreate our first meeting . So looking to relax with some good food . Used tripadvisor for help and was heading for town. Thought we'd try local .

We booked this restaurant on Groupon a three course meal for 2. We had never been to Sherwood before so had to use the sat nav to find. There is a large free car park just at the other side of the pedestrian crossing opposite the restaurant.

Enjoyed a lovely evening. Food was delicious, service was efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Booked a table at Marc and Dainas, the man who took our reservation sounded a bit grumpy on the phone but I didn’t think too much of it.

Friendly service. Excellent food. Why was it almost empty?

This restaurant had a lovely warm atmosphere, friendly staff. The menu had a wide range of dishes. The food looked lovely on the plate and was well cooked and delicious. Prices were good for the quality and portion size. Want to go back the next time we visit Nottingham.

We picked here for ‘date night’ and was not disappointed! The food was amazing, with a great atmosphere. The lady who looked after us was so lovely. Can’t wait to go back

One of the best restaurants in Sherwood, I don't understand why thispkace isn't packed out every night! Great food and prices and even better service. I'd go there every week if I could.

Food was gorgeous, generous portions, lovely ambience and Daina was a fantastic host.

Lovely atmosphere with 1950s background music. On street parking outside. Home cooked good quality food cooked to order. Gluten free choices available. Diana is a warm and welcoming hostess. Speedy service and friendly atmosphere.
