    Loved the service, ambience and views. Food was beautifully presented but lacked real flavour and good portion size. The cheese twists were overcooked on outside and undercooked on inside and needed to be cooked at a lower heat.

    Table booked for drinks only so the food rating reflects that we didn’t eat anything! Loved the experience and really appreciated being given the option to choose our table from those available. Nice touch and made the whole experience more personal. First visit but won’t be the last. Thanks team at Nor’ Loft!

    What an amazing experience. Firstly the staff members were so lovely and helpful, they were so attentive and made sure we were happy with our table being outside...they even kept an inside table open for us. Above and beyond id say 10/10. The weather was beautiful so we enjoyed the spectacular views from the terrace. Then the food and drinks came. We were blown away by the quality and attention to detail of every single item which was cooked fresh to order. We cannot wait to return. Well done norloft. This is a truly remarkable experience.

    We were met with a gentlemen who was not happy I had my baby with me said I should have made a note in the booking. My sister asked for a glass of Prosecco and the same gentleman responded with we only serve champagne in a very belittling tone. Due to this experience we called the restaurant we were going to after and asked if we could arrive earlier. I made this reservation to celebrate Mother’s Day and after our experience I will not return!
