   My girls and I had a fantastic experience at Norman! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and refined, with a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a little longer. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations without being overbearing. The food was a standout — beautifully presented and even better tasting. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, with fresh ingredients and bold, balanced flavors. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch or a special dinner, Norman delivers on both taste and experience.

   Food was exceptional, wine list is outstanding, and ambiance is amazing, as always. It was my daughter’s birthday (she’s gluten-free, as is my wife) and they took good care of her. The wine selection and knowledge was superb, and we enjoyed a great Châteauneuf du Pape. We did have a handful of minor, and uncharacteristic, misses that kept this review from being my usual 5-Star glowing write-up (no napkins, forgot steak knives, didn’t comp birthday dessert, etc.).

   Came for my husbands birthday. We have passed this restaurant for nearly 2 years and I’m so glad we finally gave it a try. All staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. We felt like we were the only patrons in the restaurant. John was our waiter , and the managers name slips me but they were both very knowledgeable about the food and drinks menu. The food was amazing!! Very flavorful and presented very well. We really wanted to order everything on the menu-but decided we would just have to go back to experience the rest of the menu. We didn’t feel rushed at all. We did have our baby girl with us-and the staff made sure we were accommodated with her as well. 10/10 would recommend going to Norman’s!

   Celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary. Restaurant beautiful, food delicious but we won’t be back. We sat for 15 minutes with empty wine glasses until our waiter noticed. The pours of wine extremely small. Had seen other reviews where couples celebrating were given glass of Prosecco or dessert. Nothing. For the money, not worth it. One and done. Very disappointed.

   We are extremely concerned to read this review as all of our guests that noted they are celebrating an anniversary (or other celebratory event) do receive a complimentary dessert or beverage. We never want our guests to feel underserved, or unvalued, your server should have made our manager aware, but let's make this right. Our GM has been made aware of this and will reach out to you this week. Please know you are valued here at NORMAN'S!

   Was my husband’s birthday. Johnny, our fantastic server, first brought us a glass of Prosecco to celebrate. He was fabulous as was the food. Ambience elegant. Everyone from the person who brought water to the person who brought the food, lovely…. Beautiful chocolate balls with liquer inside with a candle. Great finishing touch. Would highly recommend for any or no occasion.

   The food was superb, ambiance relaxed and elegant, but the best part of the dining experience was the service; warm yet professional. The sommelier was knowledgeable and really terrific, and our principal server, Becca, was an absolute delight and truly made the evening. We generally do not use superlatives, but Norman's deserves the praise.

   By far one of the finest tables in all of Orlando. The food and service are always stellar. Wine service is also perfection. Every detail has been carefully considered. The tasting menus are incredible values for the quality of the food served and the wine pairings are always perfect. Fabulous!

    Norman’s in Orlando is truly a five-star experience! The service was impeccable, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we arrived. Each dish was a culinary delight, perfectly presented and bursting with flavor. The staff’s attention to detail made the evening even more special, ensuring everything was perfect from start to finish. If you’re looking for an elevated dining experience where service, cuisine, and ambiance are all top-tier, Norman’s is the place to be. A true gem in Orlando!
