"Considering the price, the meal was poor in flavour; it seems as though the chef thinks that all dishes are enhanced by cumin, and yet failed to mention it on the menu. Now I like cumin, but not in everything, and when we all discovered that each others’ dishes were cumin flavoured it became a standing joke. (To respond to an obvious reply from the restaurant; we are sure that some things on the menu won’t have contained it, we just didn’t have those starters or mains, and since there was no mention on the menu, we wouldn’t have known, so our comment stands). The service was barely adequate and considering the price was not a patch on other local restaurants we have been to, it just did not have the level of attention or finesse. More training is needed. We were unfortunate to be in the same room as a loutish man in a football shirt and his objectionable friend, their wives were lovely and apologised for the behaviour, but the restaurant staff did nothing other than avoid coming into the room and saying, after the family had left, that their behaviour is always bad! Hmmmm, so why were we put in the same room as them, in fact why are they allowed in the restaurant, and why didn’t we get an ex gratia discount by means of apology? Our family dressed up to go out to dinner on 23rd December, we generally do dress up to some extent, but are football shirts the type of dress The George aspires to in your expensive restaurant? If so then you deserve this review, if not then why were they permitted? By all means be inclusive, just recognise the impact that decision will have on trade. So for a £500+ bill for 6 people, it was pretty poor and 3* is very generous, so we won’t be bothering the George again. If we didn’t personally know two members of staff and live in the same village, we would have given it 2*. Everything mentioned is very fixable, let’s see if The George management decides to convince us all that they are fixing it. The new decor is really lovely."

"among a large number of fried chicken restaurants, almost food joints and numerous bangladeshi restaurants is a rustic Italian restaurant with an excellent environment. on Wednesday afternoon for lunch I was amazed to see a style similar to that of a first class restaurant. the restaurant was relatiw full for a Wednesday afternoon in mile ende. the menu consisted of a few dressed in different categories that you would see in any Italian restaurants, but with a higher complication. the waiter came to explain the daily specialties that burrata with black truffles shave up and spaghetti with truffle both for reasonable prices. my friend ordered a margherita pizza that arrived with basilikum and parmesan cheese on the side. the pizza was thin crispy crust with a delicious tomato sauce, a simple dish, but prepared for a very high standard. I ordered the rabbit ragout, which was also very tasty and the pasta came al dente, I also ordered burrata with black truffles, both were very tasty. there was a formal environment with a dedicated wine menu. the waiter explained to me that the restaurant was only open two months. this restaurant can be seen as a hidden gem in mile ende and is definitely recommended to appreciate the good hearty Italian cuisine. prices can be slightly high compared to the surrounding restaurants, but for the quality of food and the ingredients it is definitiv a trip and worth the money."

"Went to this restaurant as part of Norfolk Restaurant Week and had heard very good things so was super excited Was hard to find but when we did it was a lovely welcome from the staff.....we were seated Immediately as we were late through not finding the venue.....menu looked very appetising!!! Served bread which was lovely....me being an Irish man love my bread and butter....asked if we could have a bit more (perfectly happy to pay extra which I said) to be told that the chef had only made enough that day for one roll per person and no extras were available.....ironically 5 minutes later the table next to us asked for some more bread but got the same answer Food was fabulous and an incredibly high standard.....in truth the starter portions were rather small for an adult....I fully appreciate fine dining but there wasn't much on the plate....at that point kind of had that sinking feeling!!! Luckily though even though the next 2 courses were not the biggest they did the job of filling us up in a pleasant way and all three course were very good food good service apart from waiting 55 minutes for our desserts but in total fairness to the manager and the staff they were extremely apologetic and even went so far as to only charge us for 2 courses instead of 3!! Which was not my intention but a very nice touch!! Also very helpful and polite.....explained to us that there was another promotion in January food was excellent and would definitely have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the bread and maybe slightly more on the starter....yes there was a delay but it was dealt with perfectly looking forward to hopefully dining their again with friends soon"
