Oliver's Bistro - Norwich

Went for the first time last week with my daughter for a meal and could not have had a more incredible meal evening. Set in the beautiful 'Lanes ' part of Norwich we had a fabulous meal, a wonderfully friendly waitress and met the chef after we had expressed our enjoyment of the food to our waitress Erica. How often does that happen these days. And not only did he speak to us but took the time to speak to other customers. Quirky building and décor with lovely atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Bedford's Olivers Bistro managed to squeeze 4 of us in at last minute on Bank Holiday Saturday. We sampled many of the cocktails and beers, which are great. A variety of high quality beverages from around the world. We had 2 of the amazing, gourmet burgers and 2 of the Seafood linguini, punchy flavours and textures. The staff looked after us well also. This was 4th time of eating there since Oliver's has been there. Just lovely!

I've eaten here a couple of times and the food is always really good and reasonably priced. The restaurant is set in a lovely building with exposed beams and quirky decor. The tables are set at one end with a bar at the other. The bar does get busy on a weekend but this gives the place a lively atmosphere. The menu isn't huge but there is something for everyone. This time round I had the prawn and scallop linguine which was was absolutely lovely. Fresh flavours and great quality. Finally, the prices are very reasonable. Will definitely return.

Pleasant staff but very slow service. It took over 2 hours for 6 of us to have 2 courses served, despite only 4 tables being occupied by about 18 people. Food was ok but not very generous in portion sizes if we were paying full price it would certainly not have been good value for money. However, with a groupon voucher it was just about the right price for the meals we had. However, desserts are very expensive for very ordinary choices . Definitely not child friendly if you have a young family.

My friend and I came here to dine on Friday evening and i have to say it was fantastic from the moment we came in we were welcomed with a smile and our waitress was so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Even the chef came out to see my friend and offer her different vegetarian options that weren't even listed on the menu. Even the owner came over to say hello and meet us. What service and what a great find I would recommend to anyone. I will definitely be back!!! Thank you guys for a fantastic evening.
