The Rosary — Restaurant in Norwich

I have always been a fan of Delias cookery books so I was really looking forward to the meal at her restaurant. The room is light and airy, staff are attentive and the food was acceptable. I had duck which was very tender but the skin was soft and fatty rather than crispy, and I think a little jus was needed, the fish souffle was tasty and the ginger ice cream was creamy. However this food was certainly not outstanding. We also waited for an hour from entering the restaurant until receiving any food and then only after complaining. There seems to be more people in charge than serving? All staff however were very polite and apologetic. We were given a free after dinner drink to make up for our long wait. The following night we ate at the Cotes Brasserie(chain) in the city which was two thirds of the price, much tastier and far more professional in...

We got taken to our table ordered drinks and waited for over five minutes for them. We ordered from the ala carte menu only to find out that one of the starters was sold out. The main that we both had was steak it was small but tasty,the fries was crunchy and oily some had potato in them,the salad... sorry I meant the water cress and lettuce wouldn't have filled a tea cup.

Maybe because it was a match day and they beat Cardiff 4-1 that we found that it wasn't to our...

Had my work Christmas party booked here, we went for the traditional Christmas party. Expecting high things at such a prestigious establishment, sadly let down. Was told to arrive for 7pm, with food served at 7.30pm and disco to begin at 9pm. Didn't recieve bread until 8.15pm, starter served at 9pm with mains at 9.30pm and dessert not served until 10.20pm. As a result food was warm at best, having being left out on a hot plate. Having paid £50 a ticket, and with my work placing meant to be in a partnership and a key sponsor of Norwich City Football Club, I and the rest of our two tables was disappointed. When the food was coming out, waiting staff were running round like headless chickens, asking if we had ordered the food from the menu, rather than having taken a pre order. The bar prices were inflated, with staff that didn't seem capable of...
