I was at the Normanby on Saturday night for a catch up with friends over dinner and a few drinks, but after reading some poor reviews on the restaurant I was a little nervous and reluctant to go.
I was more than pleasantly suprised and impressed with the fantastic and efficient service from all the staff and the quality of the food and drinks. (cocktails need a little work) but everything else was fantastic even the coffee at 11pm at night!
Putney needed a place like this, so dont right it off on the other reviews.... I will definately be back.

Completely disapointed! Went for Brunch with 4 friends, took 20 minutes for drinks to come, got moved off our table for "more important" guests, brunch arrived (cold) after an hour of waiting. The service is appauling and I wouldn't recomend to anyone.

Truly poor service (exceptionally slow service & argumentative manager) mixed with very average food has thankfully become a bit of a rare thing... but hey, then there's Normandy!

The manager overheard us commenting on how slow the service was and came to apologise as they were extremely busy. They must do take-away as the dining room was mostly empty.

The medium rare steak of one of our party was charred. The manager, straight out of the Faulty Tower School of Catering, cut the steak over our friend's shoulder, thought that it was perfectly cooked and then proceeded to show the meat to other guests to get their opinion. No answers... Awkward... and embarrassing... He was happy to make another one but it would come out exactly the same way. It soon became too tense for comfort and the manager walked away from our table. And so we walked away from his restaurant. Shocked that places like this still exists."
