Would I go back? Supernormal didn't blow me away and I'm not convinced that the food is worth the price. But I enjoyed the experience, the service was good, and I appreciate the fact that they take bookings. Overall I think I'd like to try it again, and taste a few more dishes before casting the final vote.
