My oh my, what a first class establishment we are blessed to have in Norwich!
The service was exemplary as staff knew the answer to every question we asked. They handled my allergy with professionalism and zero fuss. And all so young, a real asset to the team here.
We really liked the option of picking the paired wines by the glass, as some people don't want the full flight.
Now how to describe the food... imaginative, delicious, quality, beautiful. We are still talking about it a week later.
A must visit for a special occasion.

A truly wonderful experience.  I couldn't find fault with anything.  We were so well looked after and the food was amazing.  The wine and drinks selection was also spot on. Loved the descriptions and when one of the chefs delivered a dish to our table. The enthusiasm and skill on display was brilliant.  Thank you so much Benedicts.

Mostly excellent. Good value, although I would have preferred the (delicious) sherry mousse dish to be included.
