Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Norwich

The food and the service at J.Gilbert are always excellent. It is a reliable choice for a very pleasant evening out. My only criticism is that the decor is a bit dated; it could do with some freshening up.

My husband and I had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at 22 Bowen. Although we arrived having no desire to have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, we both ordered it and were so pleased that we had! It was delicious; the turkey was moist and the sides were all very good. The serving size was huge! We are looking forward to the leftovers tonight. Though the restaurant was very busy, the service was excellent. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely return.

Great service. Came here for Thanksgiving - the Thanksgiving special menu was amazing. The deviled eggs with caviar were a surprising delight. The Thanksgiving plate was truly amazing and surely beat doing the cooking myself. Our table also ordered seafood which was done perfectly. The mixed drinks were perfectly blended. Our server was cheerful and prompt - highly recommend

Just make sure to call ahead to ask to be seated in the main restaurant if that’s what you want. They put us in the back but did accommodate us when we asked to be moved

As always, the Coast Guard House lived up to its excellent reputation for outstanding food, service, and friendliness. The menu options and wine choices are also excellent. Very highly recommended. It also happens to be a very historic building that was repurposed very appropriately into the excellent restaurant that it is and continues to be.
