Definitely recommend, really lovely staff and food was delicious.

Generally decent food, but sometimes seems difficult to get staff's attention (likely because we normally go when it is busy around Christmas)

It was our first time there and everything was lovey. The staff were brilliant, the service was fantastic, there were a couple of big parties as well as our own but everything came out at the right time and was all correct. Evie was our main server and was a dream to all of us. Very kind and patent with us all.

Myself and my party of a total of 16 attended on Saturday. I have contacted Wildwood main office saying that I want to make a complaint, however 2 days has passed and I've received no correspondence back.We were seated separatelyWasn't very happy when we asked to be seated at 1 long table, there was room for this. I was told by the manager well its difficult with large bookings. But if they couldn't manage a party this size they shouldn't have taken the booking.Waiting staff were miserable and flustered.Was told to be seated at 4pm as our food would be served then. If we weren't there at this time then our table would be given away. We were seated at 3:50 and at 4:10 they tried to take our orders. Even though we had to pre order 14 days before the booking (their requirement)Food did all come out pretty much together, so I commend them for that.However extra sides didn't come and I had to as for this twice. It finally came out after the person who had orded it had finished their main. They were good again here and gave her the side and took it off the bill.At the begining there were glasses set on the table. Once we orded a couple of drinks there ended up being 40+ glasses on the table. We stacked some of these glasses up on to our mains plates for them to be cleared and taken away. One of the service staff took the glasses off a place that a medium rare steak had been on. So yes this put the blood/juices from the steak all over the table. When I explained this the wait staff huffed and puffed then took the glasses away. But she did not come back to clean the blood up, I had to go to the bar area and request a cloth and I did this myself as we still had dessert to come.At least 6 of the Tiramisu that was brought out was still frozen (I was not aware of this at the time otherwise I would have said) steaks were extremely fatty, the Turkey was dry, there was very little portions and we were expected to eat Prawn cocktail with a fork and steak knife and had no where to put the extra bits you take off a Prawn. The people who had the pizzas said they were nice and the fries were too. However my colleague's dogs did enjoy the left over steaks.Vegan option isn't very good, Butternut squash for starter, Butternut squash for main and no vegan dessert. The person who was vegan still had to pay for dessert and give it away.Toilets were blocked and no one was around to raise this with.Food overall was mediocre and nothing you couldn't cook after a long day at work and not worth the price of up to £35 a cover.I wasn't aware of all these issues on the night otherwise I would have said something in the restraunt and asked the 10% service charge to be taken off the bills and asked for my vegan to be reimbused for their dessert, as they didn'toffer an alternative. We spent just over £700 so it's quite a bit extra.We have all given feedback from the QR code at the bottom of the receipt but we have chosen to not accept the voucher that was offered for doing this.The bill was given to one of the gentlemen in my party to pay, even though the booking was in a woman's name. I thought sexism was on the way out. Obviously not at Wildwood Nottingham!!! I was greatly offended by this.It's a shame I've had to resort to posting this on a public forum. But if no one wants to get back to me then I have very little choice.

Excellent serviceWe were told there was a delay for food due to the restaurant being very busyHowever the food was quick enough to arrive and worth the waitI had a risotto which was greatWell worth a visit

Went for a work's Christmas meal. Food was very average but eating a prawn cocktail from its serving dish was challenging when only equipped with a steak knife and fork!! Had to ask for more serviettes as initial one had to be used to place the shell and head of a prawn garnish (no charger plate given)...hands smelled as no wipes offered either. Main meal of sirloin and hot, crunchy chips with a watercress garnish was fairly enjoyable despite the odd sauce that was either curdled or had been frozen. My desert of luke warm chocolate fondant was sweet and tasty. Service was very slow due to volume of customers and after an hour had passed from starter, we were offered a free drink...really appreciated this - barman who oversaw this was excellent and deserves a worthy mention.

If I have a day off i pop in here. All of the hard working staff are great. I get a lovely friendly welcome and all of the staff are professional. I tend to go in for lunch. And once a month i have dinner here with friends. A good menu and the pizzas at lunch time are very good. The Sauvignon Blanc is particularly good!

Marie Hayward

The food is delicious and staff very helpful and friendly. If any negatives just wish the portions were a bit bigger as we spent £35 per head and came away wanting more! The staff are a credit to you ?

Not sure where to start with this restaurant. One good thing we walked in and there was a table ready so we were seated straight away. A second good thing was that our drinks order was taken relatively quick.Now for the negatives. Our food order was taken 20 minutes after ordering our drinks despite us being ready to order when we ordered our drinks. Once our food order was taken we were waiting well over an hour for our food to be delivered. Tables walked in after us and placed their orders after us were served their food almost straight away. We were not given any notices on how long the food will be or if there is any delay is food coming out. Once the food eventually arrived, we have several problems. To begin with the oven baked lasagna we order was burnt to crisp. It was rock solid. It was that hard you couldn’t even place a fork into it due to how burnt it was. Even the waitress was disgusted with how it looked. Secondly the rosemary garlic bread was foul. There was no flavour to it and it was hard and cold. They may as well have served cardboard. We ordered a side of fries and they were cold, bitty, and very much over cooked. The calamari we ordered was 100% reheated and was more batter than squid.The staff all look miserable and there is no friendly service. We asked a staff member how long our food was going to be and they all looked around at each incompetently and was almost scared of the chefs. We did not feel welcomed in this place.It was that bad one of the waitresses even told us to complain. Would avoid at all costs. We certainly won’t be going back.‼️UPDATE‼️Following the reply from my review from the owner, they said a discount was added to the bill. However there was no discount added to the bill. We payed full price for everything. The only thing that got removed was a lasagna which was burnt to crisp. It got sent back to the kitchen in which we said we did not want to wait for another hour for a fresh meal. Therefore it was removed since we did not have this. What other discount was applied? None? We wasn’t even given any complimentary drinks or anything to apologise. Utterly disappointed.

Verry welcoming came for my 18th and the workers we all so nice made my birthday verry special could have done any more to give me a a special evening

The only reason why the star rating dropped is due to the incorrect phone number listed online. Both Google and their own website has a number that's not reachable, despite the restaurant being open, so it was rather disappointing to not be able to change your reservation in case of emergencies.The layout is beautiful and food is amazing - the atmosphere of the place has a magical feel to it. And they also deliver!

Ordered the Vegan lasagne which came promptly but there was quite a lot of spinach filling I had to pick some away. Other than that it tasted nice and had good vegan cheese on top. There were only 2 people serving so had to wait for bill but that's expected - staff were very friendly.Dietary restrictions: Vegan

Having had the manager boast how much better Wildwood was than Piazza Express (next door) I was expecting great things! Pizza was cold had to send it back, wine never came, it was soooo mediocre, Id have preference Pizza Express TBH.
