More good food in Nottingham
Nothing to do with audio or cinemas this time, just wanted to spread the word about a great now bar / restaurant that has opened in Nottingham. Called Vienna and located just off Old Market Square at the intersection of King and Queen streets.
Popped in a couple of evenings ago with a few friends after watching Chris Broad rip through the South african openers (still not seen the floodlights working!). General feeleing was that they should have been made to play a 20 20 straight afterwards as they had enough time! Bad luck award goes to my pal who due to work commitments sent his son along with his ticket until he could get there at six, by which time we were already on our way to a bar in town.
Anyway, the restaurant is in the building that used to be occupied by Hard Rock Cafe, and any of you that went there in its hard rock days will be stunned at how beautiful the original architecture is now it has been restored.
We all went for the scallop starter which was really good and then there was a split between those assembled between the lamb and beef main course. I can only speak for the beef, the fillet being extremely good, nicely cooked, and served with mash and a portion of braised oxtail which added a richness in its own right and in the sauce. Those eating the lamb seemed very satisfied as there was not a morsel left on any of the plates.
Service was excellent, the staff very friendly and happy to answer questons about how the food was prepared. A quick chat with the chef revealed that he has done his time with both Gordon Ramsey and Marco Pierre White, so no surprises that the food was good.
I am planning to go back very soon and try the lunch menu, which looks interesting and reasonably priced.
Anyway, a big well done to Dave Caddick (ex Living Room you may remember?)and all his staff for giving us another option for great food in Nottingham.

Hello Jeff, stumbled across your blogs and enjoyed the read. Good to hear you are still enjoying the finer things in life and CS&V looks like a resounding success - whoever doubted :-). After something of a hiatus, I'm back enjoying music, in all its forms, and we're still living in Bingham. Pass on my love to Diane and the children. Regards, Mark Browell
