Overall a good meal, as I would expect having dined here before. Only a couple of things which if addressed would have brought the score up.
The poached egg on the starter was underdone for my taste. I like a runny yolk but some of the white was still uncooked - clear & slimy. There was also a typo on the menu - starter said 'tiger prawn' which put one of our party off ordering as she was hungrier than 1 prawn! However, when it came out, there were 4 prawns and she was then disappointed she hadn't had it.
The seabass and coconut chicken dishes were both excellent.
The chocolate tart was also lovely but very rich. The portions could have done with being smaller - none of us finished it and actually could have easily shared 1 between 2 or even 3 so was a shame to pay for what we coudn't eat.
It was the lunch special so good value at £20 for 3 courses.
It a nutshell, it was good, but not fantastic.

I'd heard so many people over the years praise World Service that I thought it would be the ideal place to treat my friend to a 50th birthday meal. The restaurant is in a lovely old building. The decor, however, is modern and understated, with comfortable sofas in the reception lounge and well-spaced tables in the dining area. The menu offers a good range of choice. Every dish we had was beautifully presented and cooked. The wine list is extensive. Waiting staff were helpful and friendly. The ambience was unhurried and relaxed. Prices are to the higher end of most people's budget, but justified by the overall experience.

Amazing light lunch. Both food and service were great!

Superb food and a very high level of service. It is expensive (£105 for a meal for 2 with 2 glasses of wine and 2 bottles of beer) but it is worth it. For a special occasion in Nottingham it cant be beat.

Fabulous set lunch. Extremely good value for such quality, relaxed yet quality ambience and friendly attentive staff on hand without feeling watched.
I will be back soon, of that there is no doubt!

Review from 2 Vegetarians here...A bit disappointed with the Food, dont get me wrong, it was well cooked and presented but lacked originality and we would have liked more taste and flavour for our money. It was nice, but could have been better. Why is Veggie food often bland, even at this level? Give it some SPICE!!! Saying this, the wine was EXCELLENT, one of the best Riojas I have tasted. The staff were very nice and attentive but not over the top. Nice outdoor area and dining room, a stylish oasis in the City. I would go back again, but I would hope for more choice, rather than just the one option on the menu! (To be fair, they did offer to do an alternative, but I'm not sure what that would have been...)
We both had the Goats cheese, followed by the Mushrooms in pastry, a few sides, 2 Drinks and a bottle of Wine. £100. Not Bad...

I took my wife for her birthday,and to say the whole experience was outstanding would not do this justice. I would recommend a visit to any serious diner without hesitation.

Great food and relaxed but efficient service. Good all round.
Ashley Fenyn – 12/04/2010
Every bit as good as I remembered it being. The food was first class, the choice of wine was exceptional and the attentive service was possibly the best I've come across. It's also nice to finally go to a restaurant with a genuine atmosphere!

Had a wonderful meal on Easter Sunday with family. The roast dinners (beef) were excellent and a large plateful - unusual for World Service! As usual World Service lived up to its reputation as one of the best places to eat in Nottingham.
Tracy Saunders – 22/03/2010
I find it impossible to find anything negative about this restaurant. We enjoyed an excellent sunday lunch (£18 for 3 courses), great wine, friendly and efficient service; overall the best restaurant in Nottingham!
AR – 27/02/2010
I took a client for the light lunch menu and was blown away by the quality of the food at such a reasonable price. World Service is a fine dining restaurant so the food can reflect that, but for those who perhaps want to enjoy fine dining but like a bargain, the light lunch menu is an absolute winner!

Had a fabulous meal with my girlfriend and the atmosphere was great with the restaurant being nearly full, not bad for a Tuesday night!
Jeanette Bird – 27/12/2009
We had a really lovely evening here. The delicious Champagne cocktails on a winter night in front of the roaring fire definitely helped.
The meal was great, with pretty decent sized portions, which I like because I'm greedy! The starters were especially good: Yummy Scallops!
The waiting staff were really (genuinely) friendly and as mentioned the cocktails are great.
It all had a really nice, relaxed feel about it.
Jennifer Oliver – 24/12/2008
We have always been fans of world service for the 'service' and the feeling of luxury that it provides. however, we were not quite so impressed this time, we had to wait a long time for our drinks to arrive and our champagne was slightly corked. but still, overall another pleasant meal, perhaps not as good as we have grown to expect from one of our favourite restaurants.

The pork dish was excellent and the wine at World Service is great.
