As a vegetarian, restaurants can be hit and miss. For many, the veggie option is an afterthought whilst others merely give you a meal minus the meat. At NICE I am guaranteed a stunningly good meal. The vegetarian meals are always well-thought-out and are as delicious as they are surprising. It seems obvious, in this day and age, to provide... More

My husband and I arranged our wedding through NICE and could not have been happier with the results. The customer service leading up to our big day was simply excellent (Francesca is a super star) and nothing was too much trouble. We actually asked the restaurant to design a tapas style sharing menu and what they came up with was... More

I am quite disappointed. Service taking order was slow. Staff didn't smile or even look at me whilst taking the order. There was a guy behind the counter who running round luke a headless chicken, running his hands through his hair and then touching cups and plates you were then meant to be using without washing his hands. He was... More

Interesting space and good food (well prepared, good value and tasty) and a menu that was a little bit different. The menu indicates gluten free items and the staff were very friendly and were helpful about gluten free choices. We ate in the bar early on a Wednesday evening and it was very quiet and so lacked a bit of... More

Oh dear, what a disappointment! Food poor, I sent my main course back and declined to select another choice. Absolutely no atmosphere in the restaurant plus crying babies did not make this a pleasant Friday evening experience. I was embarrassed to bring guests, here who were visitors to Lancaster. The prices are those charged at classy restaurants.

Wanted to take out my wife for a surprise meal and chose this restaurant after researching trip advisor. We were very impressed with the contempory decor and the food quality was excellent with good sized portions. For starters we had Mushroom Alfredo and, Goats cheese, sun-dried tomato and caramelised red onion tartlets followed by fillet steaks for main course. Service... More

Rainy day in Lancaster so called in for soup and sandwich. Waited 40 minutes and when food arrived it was quite simply an embarrassment. Ham and cheese sandwich arrived with no cheese and no butter. Bread was white and not brown. Sent it back and was told they were short staffed. They still managed to take £30 at the till... More

Called in here by chance on a rainy morning for a cup of coffee. Service was friendly is a little slow, appeared to be a bit undermanned when we arrived, but another member of staff turned up and that overcome the problem. Cappucino coffees where well above the average quality, and the lemon meringue was as good as I have... More

Came here two weeks ago with family, had aimed to eat somewhere else but didn't book in time, was very glad that we got to come here instead. The waiting staff were very friendly and enthusiastic. There was a lot of choice on the menu, and the food arrived promptly and was of very good quality and yet very affordable.... More
