The "elegant" ambiance and "superb" food, from exquisite steaks to flavorful seafood, make it a must-visit.

    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!
    Norman's - OrlandoResponded 3 days ago
    Thanks for visiting us and for your kind words - we just love seeing 10/10! We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your birthday celebration! It's wonderful to know that our staff's friendliness and knowledge added to your experience, and that you enjoyed your entrees (Our Yellowtail Snapper is a legacy entree and a customer favorite - good choice)! We always strive to make our guests feel comfortable and well taken care of, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.

    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.
    Norman's - OrlandoResponded 3 days ago
    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!
