A great little restaurant which is very popular so you do need to book. Lovely ambience and great service. While the menu is not extensive it has something for everyone and the food is delicious and well presented.

This restaurant is within a hotel, away from the main roads of Lincoln. It is a lovely walk up Steep Hill, by the Water Tower. We opted for A La Carte menu, which we thought was reasonably priced. The blue cheese souffle was divine. I have a rating system for Sticky Toffee Pudding (STP), mainly based on the amount of sauce I get. No restaurant has yet managed a perfect 10. I've only given 4/5 as we weren't greeted on arrival. We ended up "hovering" around reception for about 5 minutes and it wasn't busy. After that the service was very good.

Having had a wonderful meal here before we returned ..expecting yet another great meal but sadly not. The restaurant was empty apart from one other couple…the staff were as friendly as previously. I had the burger and my wife had the duck but we both agreed on leaving how bland our food was…my burger was distinctly tasteless. It won’t put us off returning but we were disappointed …

What has happened to the Tower? Living very nearby, this has been our favourite eatery for years. A friend and I dropped in for a drink and light lunch last Saturday. All day menu is now very basic. We both chose a prawn and salmon light bite. What arrived was a small table spoon size of pate with a teaspoon of savoury jam on the side. Nothing to spread it on or even a few leaves. The taste was bitter, unpleasant and not of the menu stated ingredients. The texture was like dry goats cheese. We both left it as it tasted barely edible. Thankfully, we had ordered fries on the side. We asked our young waitress to express our reviews to the chef, but didn't hear anything back. On leaving, we were asked in the corridor if everything was o.k and once again politely expressed our feelings to the more senior member of staff who offered no more than her apologies. I'm really hoping it's a one off, if not it will be time to find a new local

How terribly disappointing in every way I booked an a la carte dinner for 2 to celebrate our wedding anniversary this evening. The only times available when I booked were 6.00 or 6.15 pm . So l booked 6.15pm . I did receive a confirmation email but didn't open it for obvious reasons because it said CONFIRMATION!!. When we arrived the no 38 Restuarant was empty ( they said it was fully booked) but we were directed to a small table in the middle of a rowdy sports bar. We went along with this and then they said you have to order your food at the bar yourself. I tried to do so in a state of some bewilderment only to be given the all day menu. I went to No 38 where I had actually booked and they gave me the la carte menu. I went back to the bar with my order only to be told we don't do a la carte in the bar !! I'm now at a total loss . Thought I'd booked a nice meal in a nice restaurant only to be shoved into a roudy Saturday night bar with pub food and no service. ....what is their problem . The bar area is absolutely packed with drinkers on a Saturday evening. Who in their right mind would think to put a 70+ couple celebrating their Anniversary with an a la carte meal in the middle ,literally, of a crowded pub. No 38 needs to decide what it is and not try to con people into booking it and then just to be given some inferior alternative in a pub. If they didn't have table when I booked they should have said so and not just put us in the roudy bar....how rude and inconsiderate could that have been. We have patronised no 38 for some years and introduced many others to it . Sadly the Tower now is just a very successful boozer with grub ,trying to masquerade as a quality restaurant in a room called 38 alogngside, and misguidedy thinks the two are interchangeable. At my ripe old age I can honestly say I have never been treated as a customer in such a desicable manner. My only conclusion very simply is GREED !!!. Rather than tell me they're fully booked they thought they could book into their pub just to keep the booking . Well thank you for ruining that celebration surprise. I won't be coming back . What a shame just from being too greedy and/thoughtless and not considering your actual customers especially,y those who are here all the year round. BE CAREFUL IF YOU BOOK HERE TO CHECK WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING GET ....IT'S NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU THINK OR EXPECTED SADLY, HOW VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING. Please Stop pretending No 38 is a high standard retuarant if its just a rowdy pub with an all day bar menu .

Oh dear, what a great shame. We used to like dining here, but on our last two previous visits we were so disappointed. Family came over from the USA to see us and we took them to No 38 for a family get together. On that last visit on Fathers day, it was a complete disaster. The Sunday roast was inedible and the Yorkshire puddings were all but cremated. This was followed by ice cream served on warm plates. After complaining they reduced the bill, but I would have been happy to have paid the full amount or a little bit more if the meal was acceptable. The staff were very nice, but the food was as poor as it gets and most of it was left on the plates (x6). Unfortunately this experience has meant we will never dine here again. A complete waste of money. Sorry for this review, but it’s true!

We went here for Sunday lunch and because the restaurant was full we were put in the bar next to an open door out onto the terrace. Prices were the same in bar and restaurant. We soon had people from the terrace using the door as a short cut despite a chair blocking use. Yhis key to people's backsides in our faces as they squeezed past. When Sunday lunch came it was cold and yorkshire puddings like dough. We sent it back and tired of waiting told staff we were leaving. We were nit charged for drinks or starters

We ate in the very pleasant ambience of the bar. Candles on the tables were a nice touch. A TV was showing sport but not intrusively and the bar was welcoming and felt comfortable for all kinds of folk including workmen. The service was excellent and there was a wide choice of dishes. We chose from the very reasonably priced menu offering 2 courses for £18 and were impressed by the presentation and quality of the food. This was our first time in Lincoln but will certainly eat here again if / when we return. Got to mention the real ales eg Ossett Brewery White Rat. Spot on. The bill was ver reasonable.

We went for our 30th anniversary meal. We had been looking for a fine dining restaurant and the images of food on here looked like that. We had the roast pigeon and goat’s cheese starters followed by the roast celeriac and lamb mains, then sticky toffee pudding and chocolate desserts.. The food was indeed excellent - delicious, and beautifully presented. Sadly the rest of the experience didn’t match. No tablecloths, tacky plastic flowers and ‘special offer’ signs on tables, new cutlery stuck in the middle of the table not set properly, friendly waitress but no fine dining treatment (we were not invited to taste the wine, when we asked for something she said ‘no problem’, we were not ‘allowed’ to mix table d’hote and a la carte courses…). There was another menu of pub grub (fish & chips, steak pie etc) which seemed incongruous, and the diners who chose from that seemed to be hotel guests wanting a regular dinner. Which is fine, but doesn’t create a fine dining vibe! I suggest divide the space into two and have a regular dining room and a fine dining restaurant (which you could charge much more for!) to do justice to your excellent chef.

We wandered out of the cold into Thirty8 looking for an early evening meal when lots of local restaurants were closed. Charlotte welcomed us into the lovely restaurant with the invitation to ‘mix and match’ the a la carte menu with the bar food if we chose. The cheese soufflé starter is just heavenly comfort food and the pheasant breast to follow was cooked to perfection. Thirty8 is a uniquely individual venture in Lincoln where national chains are encroaching on local talent. excellent food, nice wine and very reasonable pricing. Thanks for a lovely evening and all the best for the future.

We had arrived for a single night to break a long journey. It was our first visit to Lincoln and we knew nothing of its facilities. We had seen a couple of unpromising, grotesquely overpriced eateries near the cathedral and were teetering on a takeaway in a hotel room with no plates or cutlery! We could eat quite early and were lucky enough to get a table here, a pleasant 15 minute walk from the hotel. Very nice atmosphere, not sumptuous,but nicely presented. BUT THE FOOD! Really can't praise it highly enough. I had venison and my wife lamb after an exceptional pumpkin poachers soup. The wine was reasonably priced, but very good. I had an equally mouth watering dessert. My wife was too full after the generous portions. An Irish whiskey for me and a wonderful dessert wine for her completed a truly memorable meal. The service was top class.There are some negative reviews for this restaurant, but we noted they were quite old.Hats off to the chef and the proprietors.

We visited this restaurant with friends in 2015 on their recommendation but we were sorely disappointed and I reflected this, at the time, in a frank but fair review. What I did say was that the maître d was entirely appropriate in his handling of our criticisms and this would ensure that we would return one day. Just over three years later, and with the same friends, we returned to No THIRTY 8 and we were extremely pleased that we did. All our previous issues had been solely with the preparation of the food, but this time it was perfect. The small but varied menu was well balanced and the quality of the food and the presentation was absolutely superb. In addition, our waitress was very knowledgeable in the menu and most enthusiastic in her work making this a thoroughly pleasant dining experience. We were also pleased to see the same maître d and convey our pleasure with this evening’s food. This restaurant always had a good reputation but one bad experience caused us to boycott it for 3 years. Maybe a lesson learnt for us and No THIRTY 8. I can happily, without reservation, now thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

We booked afternoon tea for family and friends who had joined us in celebrating our late mum's life after her funeral. The hotel staff did an excellent job of catering for around 50 guests. There were plenty of sandwiches, scones with jam & cream, mini cakes and plum bread and cheese. Everything was very fresh, well presented and very tasty, and there was plenty of tea and coffee available. The restaurant was laid out well for the buffet with enough tables and seating for all, and the subdued lighting gave a warm and comfortable environment for our guests. I would recommend the Tower for anyone looking for a lovely venue for a special occasion for up to 50 guests.

We called here on a Monday lunch time - had a nice burger and chips. There is a small area outside at the front and a bigger very pleasant outside seating section at the back. Large bar as well as a separate restaurant.

An excellent find. Food at reasonable prices served on baking hot plates just when we asked for it. The nibbles starter was actually for one person but we shared as it was so large. Good cuts of gammon and steak and chips to die for. In fact these chips are the best I have eaten for years and years. Simply delicious.

Visited the Tower Restaurant for a birthday meal last week and was amazed by the quality and presentation of the food. Had 3 courses and each was excellent. We all had different dishes and not one of us could pick fault. Service was good with our waiters being attentive and very friendly. Can not wait to return!!

We ate in the bar on Saturday lunchtime. I had the gluten free fish and chips.The best gf fish I have had. There was a special allergy menu with plenty of choice. Will definitely eat here again.

We live very close to the Tower and frequent it a lot for drinks and food but this is the first visit for breakfast. Lovely full English with toast and proper Tea. We were recommended it and this was so worth the early morning visit. Took our lovely Dog as breakfast was served in the bar area. We will definitely be coming again.

We visited this amazing restaurant on the 29th January 2018, a Monday evening. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves which was fantastic in its self. The waiter dimmed the lights and placed a candle on our table as he realised we were visiting as part of a romantic night away. This really helped to make the perfect ambience.

Understated decor and a quiet ambiance, good for a romantic soirée, or so we thought. I made the mistake of choosing a table for two next to a table set for 6 or 8. However the party entered as we were about to leave, but a lesson learnt!

Vent here for Valentine’s Day. The food was very good, atmosphere was nice and the staff professional and formal. No delays in delivering the food or any other issue. Nice pallet cleansers between the meals.

Hi. Went Sunday for drinks and food. Nice place but why use McDonald’s chips there rubbish Scampi was good Just a shame because they use to use hand cut proper chips.

Excellent weekday set lunch. Good choice of food, well cooked and nicely presented. Restaurant had pleasant ambience. Don't be put off by the outside appearance eg chalk boards.

Visited here for a work's night out and the food was excellent. Considering there were 14 of us the service was very good. We all chose from the set menu and I think it helped that we had submitted our orders a week or so...

This was our first visit to The Tower Restaurant for a couple of years but we decided to give it a try for our anniversary meal. I must say it was a great choice. The restaurant is lovely and the service was faultless and most importantly the food was amazing. We had Pan Roasted Scallops and Salmon Tartare for starters with Poached Halibut and the 8oz Fillet for main course - Delicious. Followed by Apple Tart Tatin which we had to share as we couldn't manage one each we were so full. Will definitely be going to the Tower again as it was such an enjoyable experience and would thoroughly recommend

We were served by Tammy who was polite and timely with service, food was delicious and good quality. 2 4 1 cocktails deal reeled us in as we weren't planning on having alcoholic drinks with lunch. Overall faultless experience!

We had a large sampling of many types of African and Caribbean dishes. I had curry goat and rice n peas. And a large Nigerian Fanta.

Whilst we had a great time as a group in the arcade and game areas the food was a real let down. We ordered birria beef, jack fruit and marinated chicken which didn’t even taste like it had seen salt and pepper let alone the flavours described. Similarly, other elements of the meal were underwhelming, such as the coleslaw with no mayonnaise. Overall, pleasant staff and we would return for the activities but not for the food.
