Amber Bar & Restaurant — Restaurant in North Norfolk

We came here after recently moving into our new home in Overstrand. It's a bit hard to find as it is actually part of the Cromer country club and there is no signage for it from the car park, but once you do find it, it is a fantastic restaurant.

The restaurant was very clean and stylish - we initially thought high quality and expensive but the prices on the menu aren't too bad! The service was generally prompt and the waiteress was nice and friendly.

The food, as you can see from the photos, was amazing. From the starters to the mains we had to the tasteful deserts, for the price you pay the food you get, as well as the portion sizes are fantastic. The menu also has a good amount of choice for everyone and a variety of dishes.

The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant is that they offer some sauces with their steaks, like peppercorn sauce. Although the steak was very nice it would've gone well with something like that.

UPDATE: We booked a table for a Christmas dinner which they assured us would be available - turns out they didn't make correct note of it and we went along for nothing; us and our neighbours had planned to go along for a dinner which never happened as they are incompetent at taking bookings clearly. The way in which it was dealt with by whoever it was as well was poor as if we were more of an inconvenience than...

We were staying at The Grove just down the road but we ate here. You need to book but the food is simply amazing. Staff are super professional and they way they interact with you reminds me of a much posher restaurant. They also check on you regularly and this is quite rare these days. There is a nice atmosphere in the restaurant in a very modern setting. Hats off to the manager and staff at the restaurant for making our meal and experience so delightful. I'd definitely travel back there for a meal again, not just for the food but for the customer service. A gem of a place to eat. The only negative is that it is a little / quite hard to find as only the Golf Club is shown from the road and it is quite a meandering drive to get to the restaurant although you are able to park very close by / opposite. We were walking and had to go into the reception to ask where the restaurant actually was and even on the driveway we were not sure where we were going so we followed the signs to 'reception'. Perhaps some signage would be good for the restaurant as for people not staying at the resort it is a little...

Some mixed reviews about this restaurant and bar, but having just got back to our accomodation and feeling pretty damn replete I can confirm that this place is well worthy of your attention. My first reaction when we walked in was to think that it looked way more expensive than I had thought, but when the menus arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see some very reasonable prices. We were welcomed by Richard, who escorted us in via a wheelchair accessible route (past a gorgeous swimming pool area!) and promptly seated us. Our food orders were taken, food and drink arrived promptly and was of a very high standard. Richard and his colleagues took very good care of us during our visit, everyone was very pleased with the choice of restaurant. Great venue, great food...
