We had a wonderful dining experience! Samantha and Josiah were absolutely amazing — attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. They made sure everything was perfect and created such a warm, enjoyable atmosphere.
The bartender also went above and beyond by making me a special drink, which was fantastic and really made the night feel extra special.
The food was great, but the outstanding service from the entire team truly stood out. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food and vibe. Staff was very friendly and on point. The pork belly, blue crab beignets and shrimp were a great start. The Mongolian Barbecued Pirk Tomahawk, and 18 Oz bone in ribeye were great main courses, tender and tasty. Save room for the dessert!! Apple caramel cheese cake, key lime pie, tiramisu, and passion fruit creme brulee’ were the only ones we tried and all were delicious!

We had a great experience at Norman’s while we were visiting Orlando. Centrally located, fun but sophisticated vibes, amazingly attentive staff, and unique dishes. Members of my party highly recommended the braised pork belly. The fried green tomatoes were great too. Honestly, the tapas were better than the main plates, but I enjoyed the grouper. The scallops were great but the veggies and emulsion that came with the scallops were too salty and quite mediocre. In any case, still highly recommend, especially outdoor terrace seating! Love the ambience.

Great food with service hiccups: (where’s that bread?)
The good: Branzino and Oysters were fantastic, my bartender poured a great espresso martini
The not-so-good: bread service wasn’t given with the appetizer nor main, had to be requested. Oysters were ordered as a dozen, only got a half dozen. Another half dozen were served after letting staff know. Had the artisanal cheese plate, which says is served with sourdough. No bread was served, and when I let staff know again, they brought out a crunchy lavash bread. Definitely worth a stop for the fish though!

We had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday with Norman’s amazing crew. Firstly, shout out to Ian for not only providing me with the dinner service of my foodie-dreams, but also for truly being a shining star at Norman’s and making my birthday dinner special. We started with drinks and small bites. Highly recommend the fried green tomato and the crab beneights. For our main entrees, we had the Key West Snapper and The Scallops. Both dishes superseded expectations. It was the best seared scallop dish, I’ve had the pleasure of eating. From cooking techniques, to the sauces, both dishes were wholesome, rich, and flavorful. The coconut/mango rice pudding and the key lime pie both are desserts that also make the meal come full circle. Ian and the other amazing team members make this experience what it is; from Jayden keeping our waters full, to the bartenders crafting specialty cocktails for our neighboring table that their serve kindly placed an order for us to try the drink, as well, every person here is truly a kind and memorable part of your experience at Norman’s. Don’t skip this amazing spot!

My wife and I, along with two other friends went on a double date last night to Norman’s and had a really great time! Despite some unforeseen challenges, our bartender/waiter John was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and all around awesome. From the moment you walk up to Norman’s, you can see how beautiful of an establishment it is. Inside is even more beautiful. I enjoyed 2 or 3 of the “MY DOWN ISLAND OLD FASHIONED” and shared the rack of lamb, wagyu NY strip, asparagus, truffle fries, and some starters with my wife. My wife enjoyed a few drinks too. Overall, we were impressed with Norman’s – Orlando and will be back sometime in the future.

I had high expectations for Norman’s, especially since we were celebrating our anniversary, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing. We had a 7:15 PM reservation and were seated on time, however it took about 30 minutes just to receive our drinks. Our server did not take our food order until around the same time, which immediately set the tone for the rest of the evening. The food runner was very helpful, he was the only one there for us.
Once the food arrived, the service continued to fall short. Our table was rarely checked on, and we felt largely forgotten throughout the meal. For a restaurant at this price point, the lack of attentiveness was frustrating and unacceptable.
The food itself did not make up for the service. The short rib had no flavor and had to be sent back. The Brazilian chowder was just okay, nothing memorable. The only standout of the night was the key lime pie, which was genuinely good and the highlight of the meal.
The ambiance was fine but nothing special, certainly not enough to offset the overall experience. Between the slow and inattentive service, bland food, and high prices, it did not feel worth it. We ended up leaving around 9:30 PM and did not feel that the evening matched the occasion we were celebrating.
Unfortunately, this was not the experience we were hoping for, and we will not be returning.

It’s difficult to find the words for how much we enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Norman’s. The staff was delightful, the ambiance and surroundings were beautiful, but of course, most of all, the food was amazing! It was our 28th anniversary and it could not have been more romantic and delicious! We did order a wonderful bacon ice cream dessert, but they also gave us some sorbet with a candle that added to the experience. Our server, Andreas, was right there like magic as soon as we needed anything. We had standard drinks, martini and old fashioned, but their list of custom drinks was unique and looked delicious. It seemed like a simple thing to cut fresh rosemary into the olive oil for our bread, but the flavor from the rosemary was so distinctive and made the experience very special! And if you are more on the carnivore side, like we are, then, you must try the bone marrow appetizer! I can see annual visits to Normans on future anniversaries and other special occasions as well!

Family or 6 had the 3 course meal. Started with one small bread and a good start with the chowder soup 8/10, and the pork option looked promising with beautiful presentation but attempt at mole was not too good. Pork looked nice and juicy but it lacked tenderness and juiciness. Fish was smooth with creamy smashed potatoes. The chocolate banana dessert was great 9/10. Overall, disappointed with the pork main entree and service. We ware set next to the kitchen so it was hard to enjoy the atmosphere in that area. Would come back to review and have to have a better experience.

We’ve been to Norman’s a few times now and every time it’s been great. This year we chose Norman’s for our 11 year wedding anniversary and our server, Johnny, provided such an excellent experience for us I really had to write an official review!
First, they went out of their way to make it feel special for our anniversary. Even the menu had a cute little nod to our anniversary celebration on it! The food changes seasonally and is always good – this time I got the grouper and it was probably one of my favorite meals of the year. The little spinach filled pasta that comes with it was incredible! My husband got the filet which is always cooked perfectly. We also got the potato croquette tapa.. one each is enough for us, they are deceptively filling and really good. For dessert I got the sticky rice pudding which has tropical fruits and is a really unique flavor overall. My husband got the pumpkin spice latte dessert which I got to taste and can confirm – it was also amazing! Oh and also if you aren’t big on alcohol like we are the zero proof offerings are really refreshing.
An incredible time from start to finish.. 5 stars for the food, ambience, and Johnny!
