    We had a lovely visit to Nor Loft. David in particular was lovely. We visited for my husbands birthday and he really went over and above to make the occasion special. He’s a credit to the place. We’ll definitely be back :)

    We were late on a Sunday and the restaurant was quiet, so that impacted the ambience somewhat, but everything else was very good. Very happy with food, wine and service.
