Food and drinks were okay, if a bit pricey for what you get. Atmosphere is nice. Staff had a tendency to be either hard to find or we would end up with three people asking if we were ready to order within two minutes of being given a menu. However it was a very enjoyable evening. I will be going back, but perhaps not on a Friday night.

To start, we were a party of 8 which were squeezed onto a booth which would be better suited to a group of 6, so wasn't very comfortable. Very poor service, took a while for our meals to arrive. We ordered several rounds of drinks & I don't think one round was right. We were sat eating our meals & then the waiter came with two pizzas which obviously weren't ours. We got the bill & had been overcharged for drinks.

Interesting surroundings and in a prime location of Nottingham. Had a fairly expensive and averagely good afternoon tea. Most of the staff were fairly pleasant but only had average service from our server who ignored me twice and had to be asked twice to get us another pot of tea.

I love the Curious Manor! Having only been before in the daytime (highly recommended) my friend and I went for dinner. It was FAB. So pretty with all the lights and gives the super interiors another dimension. Food was excellent, staff could not be friendlier or more helpful and the caramel cheesecake was to die for!! Please visit the Curious Manor - you will not regret it!

Service not at all good and burger was made from processed meat and was pretty disgusting. Felt rushed from the moment we arrived and the staff didn't seem to know what they were doing. First told couldn't have a drink downstairs - then we could - then we couldn't again and were told to take our drinks up two flights of stairs. Nice view. We won't be going back.

The food was great! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming and the restaurant itself was really cool and had a great vibe, the only thing to fault was the inconsistent quality of service. I think this was because we had 4 separate servers waiting on our table and so there was a lot of confusion and forgetting things / bringing the wrong things to the table in the wrong order. It was a bit frustrating, in future I would recommend one server waiting on the table or at least each server following through with what they've just asked / offered.

Great atmosphere in this quirky bar/ restaurant. Four of us shared 'small plates' tapas style food and tried out some cocktails. The Cherry Bakewell cocktail was like a dessert. The small plates selection was delicious.

The afternoon tea was lovely and a very generous portion size, however what let this experience down was the service, we waited 45 mins from arriving before we even got a drink, it seemed like they were a lot of staff wandering around but not actually serving anybody. Several tables close by were having the same issues. We wanted to order more drinks but it wasn't worth the wait and so just asked for the bill. Improve the service (and speed of service) and the review would be much more positive. If visiting leave plenty of time!
