  First fell in love with Scruffy's way back as a student in Nottingham due to it's laidback decor, fun menu and atmosphere. Decided to go back there with some friends last night but was left bitterly disappointed. It has new owners and new decor which was basically plain white walls and mirrors. The restaurant area seemed really empty with a few tables spaced out. Basically any character that used to be in Scruffy's has gone. Aside from that the food was ok. I had a steak and had to ask for a steak knife as I'd been given a normal one! We also had a starter of bread and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The oil and vinegar mix was so bad that when you dipped the bread all you got was oil. In the end we had to ask for another bowl to scoop the oil out as even trying to mix it didn't work. To finish we had tea and coffee. The tea basically tasted of limescale and at £2 for a small pot surely the kettle could have been descaled. Maybe these are teething problems that the new owners will sort out but unfortunately there was nothing that would tempt me back.
