We were struggling to find it so cool to say we’d be a bit late. They were very happy to fit us in. My first time there and immediately fell in love with the place. The staff were excellent and we really enjoyed the cocktails. Pricey, but worth it.A great room with super views and a very relaxed vibe. Excellent disabled access. Would highly recommend. Didn’t have any food.

Ive visited Nor'Loft several times and it has always been fantastic. I had a friend staying for the weekend and thought I take her to Nor'Loft . Unfortunately, the experience was very disapponting. We each ordered a glass of Laurent Perrier Cuvee Rose. however, one of the most noticeable signs was that the champagne appeared flat and had minimal carbonation. Sadly, it had lost its freshness. We raised this with the manager but he advised us that he could not open a new bottle for us. It was more evident that our drinks were flat when he served 2 of the same drinks to the next table . There drinks of Champagne had a lively and persistent stream of bubbles.
