Review

Reached through the lobby of the Park Plaza Hotel, which is on the gloriously named Maid Marian Way, Nottingham's Chino Latino is part of the international restaurant chain. It's got a supper club vibe - all dark leather, black wood and red lighting - a bit like an 80s bachelor pad.

The island bar divides up the space between the bar seating area and the restaurant and has a pulsating, LED-lit back-bar. Grab a seat at the bar and you'll be faced with a choice of cocktails that vary from classics to eastern-themed twists with plenty of flavours such as sake, chilli, lychees and coconut - more Chino than Latino to be honest. Most drinks tend to be long, but there are some more serious shorter drinks, including some surprising combinations that worked well - including bourbon and port stirred down over ice. We were promised that a full range of sakes is on its way to build up the eastern credibility.
