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.

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.
