What a fantastic evening! We visited Restaurant 1877 last night, as a party of 20, for my 31st Birthday. The age of our diners ranges from 19 years to 91 years! The staff were superb, they couldn't do enough for us and were very accommodating. The food - wow! The food was sublime! Perfectly cooked, perfect portion sizes, beautifully presented and speedy considering we were a party of 20!! I would highly recommend to anyone - whether it be a romantic meal for two or a large party for a special occasion. Thank you Restaurant 1877 - you made my birthday very special!

Another delicious pre-theatre meal. The soup particularly stood out. Served warm it was full of flavour. Staff friendly, welcoming and helpful. Will be going again.

Lovely ambience, great service.
Geoff Nolan – 26/03/2012
Second visit and as good as last time. Although we had the a la carte there was a special menu at £18.77 for 3 courses and welcome drink which looked very good value.
Chrissie Stock – 20/03/2012
Excellent place, I recommend it to all my friends. Food is superb and service is first class.
Steve Clayton – 10/03/2012
Food just as good second time around, though the service was a little hit and miss.
Steve Clayton – 10/03/2012
Well executed food in nice surroundings, shall definitely be back!
Terri Chong – 15/02/2012
Good food and service.

Another wonderful meal at 1877! We took our friends there for a post-theatre meal. Each course was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. We will definitely be returning. Brilliant value and lovely clean and nicely cared-for toilets too!
Geoff Nolan – 11/12/2011
First time we've eaten here. The food and service was very good. It will be added to our list of places to eat.
Adam Roberts – 10/12/2011
Absolutely amazing pre-theatre meal at 1877 - best dinner out with the missus I've had this year.
Eve Mulligan – 01/12/2011
What a lovely place to eat, everything was top class.
Melanie Benfield – 13/11/2011
Service was quick and food tasty. Pretty quiet when we arrived at six but filled up a bit later on. Overall an enjoyable meal for a good price.
Matt Whyard – 07/11/2011
We've eaten here a couple of times before and I'm pleased to say that the standard of the food remains as good as ever. The chef clearly knows what he's doing as the quality of the cooking is very high. It certainly isn't a cheap restaurant, but given the quality of the food I think it is very good value for money. My only gripe was that we booked via Godine via a £5 off promotion, and despite confirming this when we arrived it wasn't deducted from our bill (I only remembered after we got home, I guess I should have studied the bill more closely).
Ross Davies – 20/10/2011
Food and service were great, however was a little quiet.Would return.

1877's pre-theatre menu is the best menu in Nottingham for value and quality. The food is English which is actually quite rare - most of the time its European. If you haven't been you have to try.
MR – 06/09/2011
Can't believe the value of the pre-theatre! 3 very well presented and balanced courses were an absolute treat. We opted for the pork Terrine with black pudding, followed by a tasty steak and then the Chocolate Pot which was warm and gooey, cooked to perfection. My friends were extremely impressed and I will be going back soon no doubt. Cannot recommend the stunning value enough!

Great food and service. Would definately revisit.
TF – 15/06/2011
We went for the pre-theatre menu whoich was brilliant value for money.
Lisa Fretwell – 03/06/2011
Meal was ok as we had a groupon deal voucher but wouldn't have liked to pay the full price for it. The service was a little slow and the food quite bland not what I expected from a michelin rated restaurant.
Nick Wells – 19/05/2011
Nice food and nice surroundings. Had Groupon menu and all mains came with just a pile of green leaves, which made the mains look a bit lacking, but food was good and can't complain for the Groupon price!
Judith Evans – 15/05/2011
Great meal, only criticism was the price of the wine.
Wing Tse – 11/04/2011
1877 is an excellent choice of British restaurant. We went for the Pre-Theatre meal which was a very reasonable price at 10 pounds for a 3 course meal. The meal itself consisted of chicken terrine, fish and chips and a lovely chocolate brownie. The service too was excellent. Much recommended.
Kathryn Hewitt – 08/04/2011
Second visit to 1877 within a couple of weeks, courtesy of my son for mother's day. He was pleased to be able to get me such an excellent meal on his limited budget. Staff pleasant and welcoming again. Particulary pleased that the chef checked whether I am vegetarian, as I had chosen a veggie main course, in order to use an appropriate sauce.
Sam Besgrove – 04/04/2011
Have eaten here on a number of occaisions now and normally, its very good. This time, the starters and deserts were good, but thought the mains (Sunday roasts) were not up to the normal standard. Plated in a large yorkshire pud, with little meat and two tiny potatoes - a bit disappointing really. SB
Kathryn Hewitt – 25/03/2011
My mother and I were greeted and seated in a warm and friendly manner, being given a choice of tables. We dined from the Theatre Menu, which is excellent value at £9.95 for 3 courses. The choice of dishes was limited, but all our choices were delicious and well-presented, and portions were ample. Mum was particularly surprised at the substantial slice of hock terrine. The wine list was extensive, the only drawback being for us that the wines were mostly a little more than our budget would allow. The wine we chose was an Argentianian Pinot Noir at £22 and was very good. We would definitely go back.
Tom Buchanan – 16/03/2011
Nice and pleasent. Nothing spectacular, but good enough for me
Jade Nurse – 15/03/2011
Very nice Restaurant, with excellent food and friendly Staff. Shame about the wait in between courses, it was an hour before we receievd our starters. Excellent for a relaxed meal.
Richard Short – 14/03/2011
Fantastic set menu at just £15 for three courses on a Saturday night.
Asheeka Hyde – 27/02/2011
This place is awesome. The pre theater menu is a steal.
Lynn Thompson – 15/01/2011
Lovely meal. Friendly and helpful staff.
Mary Banks – 10/01/2011
Lovely sunday lunch, generous portions and great service... hardly needed to ask for anything as it was all brought to you already. Great value for money.
AR – 11/10/2010
I went to 1877 as part of a group of 9 and we had the £9.95 3 course pre-theatre menu. The food was superb and for the price, incredible value. The waiter was polite, attentive and not overbearing so very happy in that department too. Overall we all thought that the food was excellent and the menu was amazing value. Will be back soon.
Jaye Humpherson – 13/07/2010
The food was fantastic but the service was lacking a little. We enjoyed our meal overall.
Jaye Humpherson – 13/07/2010
Lunch was fantastic and as we were the only people there the service was exceptional!
Ann Goodwin – 12/04/2010
First time we've been to 1877 but we'll be back! Food was very good and well presented, service was excellent but only two other tables occupied on a Friday evening so we had their undivided attention. Definitely good value for money.
AR – 27/02/2010
I enjoyed a fantastic fish dish with lime foam and a side of beans. My partner had a chicken and chorizo dish with potatoes - both of which were very good. Our desserts were a crème caramel with a delicious sauce and very chocolaty dessert, which was a bit of a show stopper! Service is very efficient and the atmosphere was calm and refined.
Jeanette Bird – 27/12/2009
I really like it here. Beautiful food, lovely waiting staff and amazing value.
Ambience: Downstairs is probably best for a relaxed atmosphere although upstairs seems right for a mid-shopping lunch!
Steve Taylor – 20/07/2009
First time at 1877, we thought the upstairs room was too clinical and lacked ambience. The seating although comfortable was too low and would benefit with proper dining chairs. The soup was too salty but the mains good (excellent lamb).
Judith Mills – 03/05/2009
On the good side, the restaurant is beautifully decorated, the staff really know what they are doing and are extremely attentive. The quality of the food is excellent, especially the cheese and there is a comprehensive and well chosen wine list. The problem is that the portions are 'fashionably small'. My first course of asparagus and poached egg comprised about three thin spears (cut into 2inch sticks so hard to say exactly) and the smallest egg I've ever seen. This does not compare well with the week before when I'd had asparagus in a smart hotel in Stamford which also sourced its food locally where I had been served with 6-7 good sized spears. Similarly my husband's crab salad was lacking in crab. We normally only eat a starter and main course, but this time had a dessert because the first two courses left us feeling we needed more.
Jeanette Bird – 24/03/2009
We had a really lovely meal here. The atmosphere was great (we were downstairs- which was I think extra nice).
The food was spot on and also was very pretty, but not just for the sake of it. It actually made you gasp a bit when they brought it out, which added to the feeling of it being a bit special. It was also excellent value for money.
We were there on a Sunday lunch time and it was Mother's day, so the service was a little slow, but the staff made up for it- they actually had personality, which added to the relaxed feeling of the place.
I will definitely return, it was very satisfying!
Marion Crawford – 23/03/2009
Very friendly and efficient staff. A little draughty by the front door but overall a fantastic night out and at such a good price for the fixed menu. Will be back.
