    A friend and I enjoyed lunch at Cafe Normandie yesterday. It’s our favorite go-to restaurant when we’re in Annapolis. Fortunately for us, it was Restaurant Week, so we each enjoyed a three-course meal for a very reasonable price. The food was excellent and so was the service. We both started off with a crock of the restaurant’s delicious French onion soup. My friend’s main course was steak frites and mine was salmon cooked with blueberries. Both were exceptional. My friend had crème caramel for dessert, and I had the fruit tart. We also split a bottle of brut rose sparkling wine. The atmosphere was upbeat and vibrant. Patrons were having a good time. I highly recommend Cafe Normandie!

    We had a Valentine dinner on the early special menu which is 3 courses $45. There was a varied selection of appetizer, entree, dessert. The Caesar salad is excellent, mushroom soup ok, not great. Both duck and boeuf bourgonnion were delicious Eclair dessert is excellent, not a fan of pistachio cheesecake . Wine selections are excellent and fairly priced. Our waitress was attentive and efficient Extra charge for bread seems unnecessary at a nice restaurant like this Atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, but tables are very close together. We enjoyed our first visit

    Unfortunately we had a horrible experience at Cafe Normandie on Valentine’s Day. TLDR: we were forced into a $130 prix fix and the service and meal quality were not up to the standard you would expect for a meal that expensive. We were notified about the prix fix 2 weeks before V-day so by then all other places were booked up — annoying but we embraced the idea of splurging on a really nice meal together. We were seated in overflow seating away from most other customers. The table was set with paper napkins and plastic cups, although my plastic cup was missing. When our server came over she saw the missing cup and grabbed one from a table that people were seated at. Immediately my boyfriend noticed and asked if the cup was clean, which the server insisted it was, but still unsettling that it came from a table in use. The poor ambiance could have been excused if our meal was excellent but it was mediocre at best. We were served four courses: a salad, appetizer, main, and dessert. The salad was sad, just lettuce and a crumbled hard boiled egg. For our apps I got a charcuterie board, which was 6 slices of salami and two pates and a small pile of spinach on the side, and my boyfriend got burrata which also came on a bed of spinach. We also were served bread and pats of cold butter in gold foil packaging that you get at a Cracker barrel. The mains were the best part of the meal, I got the veal and my boyfriend the salmon but the desserts were meh, clearly prepped a while ago my pastry was very stale. The bill ended up being almost $400 (we ordered a bottle of wine) and I was on the verge of tears because I was so disappointed in what should have been a very special meal. My boyfriend asked to speak to a manager and we spoke to the owner. Instead of trying to mitigate the situation he got defensive and argued with us. When we pointed out that the same meal a la carte was $75 pp and that this was a rip off he yelled at us and stormed off. We will never be back.

    They served a prix fix Valentine's Day dinner and while the food was good, service was slow. The whole meal was not worth $130 pp. On top of that the tip was automatically added for 2 people!
