    Margarita
    Deborah G.

    Went for happy to celebrate my Grand daughter birthday. The atmosphere is very welcoming. Friendly bartender and helpful. Prices are really good for happy hour. The spinach dip was very good as well as the blue crab beignets. Gave margarita is good as well as the old fashion. . Will be back Really enjoyed it.

    We came to this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. The hostess seemed disinterested though not overtly rude. The waitress however seemed to have it out for us from the moment we ordered water. We rarely drink but it is always a shock to see the abrupt attitude change that can bring with it - in this instance the waitress treated us as "cheap" for the rest of the evening. The restaurant was nearly empty and yet service was exceedingly slow. There were several times we struggled to get the waitresses attention. The blue crab beignets were extremely good. The truffle fries were okay but not fresh. The mash had very little flavor and was chunky which is just not our personal preference. The filet would have been fine but it was undercooked (ordered medium). We were given a bite sized dessert for the birthday but we both tried a nibble and neither of us cared for it (we do have some sweet tooths and it wasn't very sweet). The ambiance was the best part, it was very nice if a bit bright and all staff were dressed smartly. I would not return here. Their neighbor, ocean prime, blew them out of the water in both service and food.

    Celebrated our anniversary at Norman's. It was an excellent choice. Service was topnotch. Staff are all attentive and hospitable. We had the pre fixe menu. Portions were good and everything we chose was delicious. For starters, we had the conch soup and fried green tomatoes which both were a good dish to start this amazing meal. Yellow tail snapper was cooked very well and mashed potato seems to have truffle oil in it. We also had the pork Havana which the meat was tender and the sauce complimented the dish well. To end the night, we had the sorbet, carrot cake and key lime pie. For a person who is not a fan of key lime pie, this dessert was our favorite for the night. Cocktails were also tasty. Highly recommended place. You will feel very well attended at this place.

    I was here for a private event and they did a really good job. I didn't try the food until too late so the truffle fries and pork belly appetizers were room temperature at best. I heard the pizza and chicken appetizers were really good. I tried too many of the passionfruit martinis and it really knocked me for a loop. They go down too easy so be warned.

    I came here for my Birthday dinner. The hostess and staff are pleasant and professional. We were seated immediately with our reservation. Note: They keep the place chilly. Bring a shawl, cardigan, something to keep warm. We have 2 servers helping each other. We order drinks and food. My first issue was instead of letting me know the drink I ordered isn't available and choosing an alternative drink, they bring me a lychee martini to see if I like it. I drink it because it's in my wheelhouse and it took long to receive it. Secondly, it actually took long to receive each course. It wasn't initially busy when we arrived but it increasingly got busier during our visit. We arrived at 5:45pm and left close to 8pm. They let us know throughout the service that they were running behind and offered champagne: a nice gesture, but we're not big drinkers. Here's what we ordered: 3 Course Prix-Fixe Menu -Brazilian Styled Conch Chowder -Fillet of Key West Yellowtail Snapper -Havana Bananas -Gold Label Creekstone Farms Wagyu NY Strip Steak *Fried Green Tomatoes *Miso Bbq Glazed Mushrooms *Blue Crab Beignets (2) *Truffle Fries The food is great! I especially enjoyed the Blue Crab Beignets, Miso Bbq Glazed Mushrooms, and the Wagyu Strip Steak. I asked for the steak medium and it seemed more on the medium well side until I got to the center. It was delicious anyway and now I know to order it medium rare. Overall a nice experience, just be aware of wait times between courses.

    We knew we were in for a wonderful experience when we first entered Norman's. From being greeted by lovely Mia, to Taylor recommending and preparing our drinks at the bar, to Sergio's excellent service, it was a night to remember. Four of us were in town from different areas of Florida to celebrate my birthday. The restaurant is beautiful, the food was perfectly prepared and service could not have been better. We felt not only welcomed, but special. We had a Via Dellagio salad, filet mignon, blue crab beignets, yuca stuffed crispy shrimp, and a molten lava cake. Everything was absolutely delicious! In a world where restaurants are a dime a dozen, Norman's stands out in the crowd, head and shoulders above the others. We are already talking about when we will have the opportunity to head to Orlando again and go back. If you are in the area, check them out. You can thank me later!

    Another remarkable meal at Norman's to celebrate my new job! We opted for several happy hour items (oysters, Tataki, pork) and drinks plus split a prix fixe 3-course and added bruschetta - lots of food and leftovers! They even split the prix fixe items and paired 1/2 glasses of wine for us! So, the photos show half of the soup and snapper along with the dessert which was one plate. Perfect weather for al fresco dining. Ladies, they even have shawls to borrow if you get chilly! John was our super fabulous server (also a bartender) and helped us with optimizing happy hour - plus we used InKind for 20% off credit for another visit.

    Amazing restaurant. Highly recommend. 1. Reservation: a must. 2. Food: 5 stars Everything I had was amazing! Just get whatever is on the menu and you'll love it. (see pics) 3. Drinks: 5 stars Strong, beautifully decorated cocktails. Amazing choice of wine and their sommelier is awesome. 4. Service: professional, respectful, a bit aloof but amazing 5. Decor/ambience: Very tall ceiling, spacious, literally the opposite of claustrophobic, if anything, welcomes you to take a deep breath and relax. Mostly white decor, which is relaxing instead of dark mahogany steakhouse look and i loved it for that. Didn't see any kids, my son was the only young person here. Extremely happy to have stopped here during our annual trip to Orlando.

    Fried green tomatoes

    Dined here for the first time over the weekend. Honestly, I'm sad I didn't even know this place existed until magical dining videos. It's super elegant inside, has like a 1920s vibe. Everyone working there is nice, attentive, and helps each other to ensure you have great service. For magical dining apps we tried the fried green tomatoes and the foie gras French toast. The fried green tomatoes were cooked nicely but I didn't love the flavor. The foie gras was very good and I recommend it. For entrees I ordered the special plancha steak which was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the mash underneath- it was slightly sweet and yummy. My partner upgraded to the peppered steak but he said it barely had any hint of pepper, so he was disappointed in that. For desserts we tried the banana cake and the key lime pie. We were warned that the banana cake was spicy (which I don't enjoy) however this had no spice at all and was very good. The key lime pie you could tell was homemade and very tart. They were offering a bottomless $40 wine option, which my partner got and really enjoyed. I tried the peach dragonfruit cocktail (forgot the name) but it was not very good, very artificial tasting, so I ordered a glass of bubbles instead. Overall, the food was very good, the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was very nice. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing experience for our anniversary dinner! Johnnie, Matthew and all staff were super attentive and knowledgeable. The food was superb! We will definitely be back! We even got a Prosecco toast pro bono!

    Excellent vibes. I like the ambiance. Music is on point. I'll definitely come back here again to enjoy this place. Service is excellent. Fast and courteous. Only reservations.

    From the beginning to the end, it was amazing. The service, the food, and the ambiance. It was all very well put together and made me and my husband's dining experience amazing. We came for our 1 year anniversary of marriage and it was very worth it. Johnny made sure we were comfortable the whole time and that everything was perfect. He definitely kept us entertained. But me and my husband enjoyed our time there tonight, we both HIGHLY recommend!

    Sam T.

    Every bite was incredible, so much so I forgot to take pictures! We started with cocktails and apps at the bar for happy hour then migrated to the dining room for dinner and dessert. Highly recommend. Not only was the food to die for, the wine list had great variety and the cocktails were very good. In addition the restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff were incredible. So kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I can't wait to come back!

    Ask the Community - Norman's

    We are going here as a work group for a meeting. Is there a dress code? Jeans or shorts ok?

    Hello - our fine-dining restaurant has a Business Casual dress-code, we just ask that you do not wear sports attire or baseball caps in our dining room. Enjoy your visit.

    Is the terrace covered ( in case of rain?) and is there AC and/or lots of air moving via fans?

    Hello Tracey! Yes we have a covered Terrace, with fans for moving air. We just had a large party… 

    Anyone have an idea of their pricing?

    Like any fine dining restaurant, the pricing is on the higher end. However, the excellent food, impeccable service and wonderful interior decor deserve a premium. Chef Norman is an innovator and the menu at Norman's is a prime example.

My boyfriend made an online reservation with no issues, and getting seated was easy. Overall, I'd give the food about a 3 out of 5. Nothing was bad, but it felt more like an upscale chain restaurant experience than a standout seafood destination. Around the table we had everything from lobster mac and cheese to oysters and steak, and the consensus was that the food was decent, just not particularly memorable. I'm allergic to dairy so that definitely impacted my ordering abilities. I ordered two appetizers as my meal: the calamari and the pork belly. The calamari was a bit too fishy for my taste, so I found myself mostly picking at it. The pork belly, however, was very good and easily the highlight of my meal. Where Big Fin truly shines is customer service. We had several picky-eater teens in our group, plenty of special requests, and a lot of moving parts. Our server, I believe his name was Nathan, handled everything with patience, and a great attitude throughout the evening. The hostess was equally impressive. We arrived before the rest of our party and had the opportunity to watch her expertly navigate a few situations with what appeared to be some challenging guests. She remained gracious, calm, and welcoming the entire time. John, the manager, also stopped by our table and was wonderful. It's clear that hospitality is a priority here, and every staff member we encountered made us feel genuinely welcome. While the food won't have me rushing back, the exceptional service certainly left a positive impression.

We were immediately greeted by two hosts with genuine, big smiles, which set the tone for the entire evening. We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef, mixologist, and general manager--a personal touch that truly elevated the experience. Our evening was a full-on culinary journey. We enjoyed oysters, shrimp, newly crafted cocktails and bold wines, crab cakes, Hamachi crudo, poached king crabs, halibut, and yes--all of the desserts!!!! Every single one of them. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and somehow better than the last. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the fish was flawless, and the balance of flavors throughout the meal was spot on. There is a chef-tasting menu--which we didn't experience this time--but after this meal, it's absolutely happening on our next visit. The night ended with a tableside dessert presentation from the chef, which was such a memorable and elevated final touch. Incredible service, exceptional food, and an atmosphere that encourages great conversation and even better memories. I cannot wait to go back. Classic hospitality, modern execution, and a menu that delivers every single time. Love the experience fellow FIU alumni, Javier provided!!!!

Two different types of crab, a bunch of crawfish, and a lot of other good accessories like the corn, potatoes, and Andouille.

On top of that, tip was already auto grat, which I didn't think was what I would have tipped. If there were 2-3 servers, no problem, but all that tip going to one person when service drastically slowed? Horrendous. Management, fix your staffing issues! At least stop seating people when the place is full and you know you do not have the capacity to serve all these folks. Everyone in the restaurant was trying to be patient but there was a lot of angst all around, plus the server seemed to have a bit of a spiff with the manager / owner that came out to drop off food (which also didn't give for good vibes when you're eating). It felt like they were one step away from a shouting match. Besides that, the Bite 30 menu was a great deal. Apps were solid, as were mains. Dessert wasn't great though. But still a solid deal to get some crab plus extras in, and is a good way to sample their offerings.

I really wanted to like this place but it was a swing and a miss. Parking was easy during the Saturday afternoon we visited. On busier occasions, they do offer valet parking. Nearby businesses share parking so if it's a peak time, you may have to walk a little to the door. Not a long wait before we were seated. Spacious with tables and booth seating. There is a bar and televisions here. Our hostess was nice and offered insight into the menu. For the appetizers, we started with oysters Rockefeller, and fried gator tail. It's a red flag when places smother items in a sauce instead of letting it stand on it's own. No complaints on the oysters and the gator tail was given previously frozen vibes. For the entree, I got the shrimp po' boy. The bread was hearty and held onto the six lil shrimp that they felt were enough. When the ratio of shrimp, bread and topping aren't portioned right, you end up with gaps of the flavor when you're eating. What sent me is the shrimp weren't properly deveined. If you took a biology class, you know that black line running along the back is the shrimp's waste system. I'm not eating that. The hostess saw me just sitting there looking at my food and asked if I wanted something different. Hard pass. Even the waffle fries were bad. They weren't piping hot and dried out inside. I made due with the sweet tea which they did well with. The manager came by and offered to remake or replace my meal. I appreciate his efforts but I didn't want anything at that point. The bathrooms were clean. Nice enough people but the kitchen didn't get it right.
