"I went with a group of people last night and we were waiting nearly minutes for our drinks to arrive, Then finally ordered our food and they took over an hour with that then they served us half cooked prawns which we did not realise until i ate one and had a funny taste in my mouth so we checked the others and they were part cooked and part raw which is abissmal i told them to take them away then they offered to cook more i said i do not want any more food from you as i didn't feel well then and hour later when everyone finished there main course the waiter who seemed non existent finally arrived to take pudding orders and tried offering me it when i told him i didn't feel well was ridiculous and that i wished to speak to the manager he arrived minutes later and tried telling me that the prawns were cooked so i told him to go get them and we can check again even after the waiter admitted they were not cooked and my whole cooked see they were not then he asked what he could do to help with the issue so i told him to remove all my food off the bill which he said he did but when it came to pay he had not taken anything off and even tried charging for a free bread dish which i asked for to try and settle my stomach so i spoke to the rude manager again to remove it all he then added a service charge and tried billing us for things we didn't have so they ruined my first night out in a month and made me very ill and just didn't care the service was the worst i have ever seen and i eat out rather a lot due to hours i work so to all members of the public do not go eat there unless you wish to be very ill and have a condescending manager try telling you that your wrong."

"The Georgian Townhouse is normally a lovely location for a bite to eat, we have been many times and usually always very satisfied. As tradition my partner and I go here every Valentines Day, it’s always just the right atmosphere with candles etc but not over the top. Food always is lovely, however our most recent experience we left feeling really dissatisfied. We opted for the set menu as it felt appropriate for our date evening. I had the ravioli starter which was delicious and felt very fresh. My partner chose the scallop starter, to which he was presented 1 singular scallop with its accompaniments but it was no bigger than a 10 pence piece. To us it felt a little stingy. Following onto mains, we noticed after a little wait that our food had been taken to the table beside us, they happened to have ordered exactly the same as us, the confusion between staff was clear but we weren’t bothered by that. My partner had the tagliatelle which he was satisfied with, but it didn’t seem to be up to the normal standard of food GTH offer. I chose the upgrade to the plaice which is where it went wrong. If a fish is to be served head and all, a small disclaimer on the menu should be highlighted as for some people they may not enjoy this. I did not enjoy this, with the eye removed but the head still very much intact I scraped away at the bones for a couple mouthfuls of fish. Arguably I should have asked when ordering, that’s a lesson I will learn for next time. The food just didn’t quite hit the mark unfortunately for us. The staff were kind, but evidently new. I’d like to reiterate we are normally big fans of the GTH but this visit left us a little disappointed and having pudding at home instead…"

"I booked this restaurant having wanted to try it for a couple of years and never getting around to it, and then after I booked it I read a couple of recent reviews and thought oops! But, hey ho I thought, I'll give it a whirl! I am so glad we did, I wonder if the reviews on here went to a different restaurant as I found all the staff very friendly and they couldn't do enough for us. The interior is very different and you certainly don't feel like you are in Norwich! Starters: We had two helpings of mushrooms and one of garlic bread to start piping hot and beautiful flavours, very nice mushrooms. Mains: Chef's special penne the beef was tender and everything went together so well and nicely balanced. Spaghetti carbonara for the youngest member of the family, which she enjoyed and wants us to do something like it! Pollo alla crema done very nicely and whilst that youngest person liked their carbonara, I think next time she is having this. We didn't have room for a dessert, but I did enjoy the Ichnusa, a couple of them went down a treat. Once tried you'll be hooked. Anyway, I highly recommend this little gem in Norwich and I want to say a big thank you to all the staff for looking after us that night, we will be back for more and trying something different. I believe it was the owner in there as well who spoke to us as we left, but we were chuffed that we ignored any bad reviews about this place, as either they went somewhere else, or had another reason for putting a dodgy review,"
