  • This place is just amazing. Great food, brilliant staff and superb atmosphere. We ate as a family of 5 on a busy Monday night in amongst a really diverse crowd of customers and had the best time. The mix of plates is varied and high quality, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are just so good. A family favourite!

  • I had such a fantastic time at The Blue Joanna! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I was especially impressed by the vegan options on the menu. I think either the banana blossom or the buffalo cauliflower were my favourite meals. But then again, everything I tried was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s always such a treat to find a place that takes plant-based dishes seriously, and they really delivered. The service was lovely throughout. It was friendly, attentive, and relaxed. What made the evening even more special was when the staff sang happy birthday to another table. It was such a thoughtful touch and a lot of fun to experience as well! Highly recommend for a cozy night out with great food, kind people, and a bit of fun. I’ll definitely be back!

  • Fantastic. Everything comes together in this wonderful restaurant. Great atmosphere, which is in no small part due to the friendly, attentive and efficient staff. Wonderful music, at the correct volume, tailored to the diners! Food is really nice. We had various tacos, beef and sweet potato and normal chips. All was delicious and came quickly, but not too quickly. Was very reasonably priced too.

  • This restaurant is amazing, the food and drink had my partner smiling from ear to ear as it was the first time she was able to have crispy chilli beef since she was diagnosed coeliac. It was a real treat to have an opportunity to share a range of Asian dishes and we cannot wait to return and try all the things we haven't yet. If we'd have known about it sooner, I have no doubt we'd have already visited several times already. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was also great, the staff were so welcoming and kind and friendly throughout the meal. They gave us confidence that they understood dietary requirements and it didn't feel like we had to compromise on flavour or experience because of them. The atmosphere in the bar was also lovely, every seemed to be having a great time and the music matched the atmosphere of the restaurant so well. Honestly, the food was sublime, the cocktails were phenomenal and the service was legendary. If you are wondering whether or not to visit, absolutely do - you will not regret it.

  • This restaurant has a cracking vibe and excellent food. We chose three plates each which was enough for us and topped the meal off with a couple of cocktails.. A real cross-section of folk was there when we visited. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

  • Came here as a surprise on my birthday and boy we weren't disappointed. It's a Goldilocks restaurant that is "just right". Super friendly engaging and attentive staff who clearly all love what they do. And this spills over into every aspect of this fab little place. Menu is small plates to share that were anything but small and all totally delicious. The Chefs can be seen working away which I always appreciate and their efforts were top notch. Unfortunately, we live 2.5 hours from Norwich but if I lived closer, this would be an absolute nailed on every week visit. Thanks to Keiran and his colleagues for a great birthday dinner. Just keep doing what you're doing cos it's FAB! P.S. it was fantastic value too!
