Stopped in the evening of New Year’s Eve and really enjoyed our visit. The place itself is very cozy. We were there when all of the Christmas decor was still up and that was a lovely element to our experience. Our server was also extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

We got the mussels, half hen, and burger. They also gave us a complimentary popover, which was surprisingly super delightful. The burger was pretty basic taste wise but the half hen was the selling point of our entire dinner. Extremely flavorful and tender—paired well with everything in the dish! The mussels was definitely another favorite of ours.

Ate at the Normandy Kitchen twice during our stay at the Normandy. Both times the staff was phenomenal. The guy we had at our dinner had a lot of unique stories and facts that we converted about. The women who was working in the morning during our breakfast was the absolute sweetest. Kind, caring and attentive.

To top it off all the food we had was amazing!
Everything is fresh, homemade and flavorful. With pretty presentations.

Both times we visited, there wasn’t many other people in the restaurant so we were seated immediately. But it was a quiet weekend with a snow storm that had hit. Pricing is higher, but that was to be expected.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The Henry VIII Burger with Truffle Oil fries sprinkled with gorgonzola cheese was delicious. Our server was very friendly. Highly recommended.

Exceptional waiting and chef staff. Leaves you feeling right at home and treat you amazing. Food was great and atmosphere was good for our family meals. We chose to embrace their hospitality for meals each day based on the pleasant environment and meal variety. Pancakes, sausage, corned beef hash, steak salad, cheeseburgers, muscles etc were exceptional.

The food is consistently very good. My favorite appetizers are the stuffed mushrooms and calamari. The service is excellent. Parking is a bit challenging for guests as you have to go to the main desk and get a ticket first. If you are staying at the hotel, it’s included.

The hotel rooms are nicely updated while maintaining the buildings historical charm. Everyone hung us clean and comfortable. I recommend bookinghe bedroom suites with separate rooms.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Frank was our waiter and I have never in my life had better service. He was polite, kind, made great conversation, and had the best recommendations. He knew the dishes inside and out, down to how they were prepared. He also made fun non alcoholic drink recommendations for our teenage daughter, and she was thrilled with her order. We ordered what he recommended and we’re floored by how amazing everything was. Next time we’re in Minneapolis, we’ll definitely be back.

Nicole was awesome, probably the best server I’ve ever had. She was super easygoing, genuinely friendly, and really knew her drinks. Her recommendations were spot-on and exactly what I was looking for. She checked in often without ever feeling intrusive and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. You can tell she really cares about giving great service. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll absolutely be asking for Nicole again!

We visited the beautiful city of Minneapolis for a Ravens away game. Of the thousand locals we met, the people at Normandy Bar were the only ones who were less than friendly. Visited for drinks at the bar on Saturday and the experience was a very good one. Bartender (shorter bald guy with glasses) made a great ol fashioned and the service was very good. We spent ~$200 and walked away very impressed with the atmosphere, drinks and service.

Unfortunately, when we returned the next night the experience was awful and downright embarrassing. We walked in (wearing Ravens apparel) and moved a stool to the end of the bar where there was one empty stool. We saw new “friends” from the night before and sat down with them and another couple. About 15 minutes later we grabbed the bartenders (younger taller guy with a Vikings jersey) attention and politely asked if we could order drinks. We were told that we were being denied service. I asked why and was told simply “we saw you stumble walking in and are not going to serve you.” We were astonished by this claim. This was patently false. In fact a couple who we began talking to after sitting down argued back that we were the most sober people in the entire bar. Mind you, we’d only met that couple 10 minutes prior…so it wasn’t like they had a vested interest in either side of the matter.

I asked to speak with the manager and she came over(first time I’d seen her). I asked why we were being denied service and she merely said “my bartenders are very well trained.” I told her that each of us had a handful of light beers over the course of the entire day at the stadium and surely were not intoxicated. She apologized several times but doubled down on the decision. I found this to be contradictory and frankly believe she lacked the backbone to question her bartenders decision. Several onlookers stuck up for us and apologized for what we dealt with. I never raised my voice and treated the bartender and manager with a respect they never gave us. They missed out on another 30%+ tip (like the one we gave the night before) and put a damper on an otherwise amazing trip. I can only guess that the reason for the refusal was due to us being opposing fans…I cannot fathom any other explanation.

Ironically, the night prior, I witnessed an older female restaurant floor manager at Normandy’s clearly inebriated while working. I said nothing because it wasn’t my place, but still find it incredibly ironic and unprofessional that they allow employees to be intoxicated while working but then refuse service to sober patrons.

I recommend staying away. I gave this 2 stars because the experience on Saturday was very good. However, that was nearly completely negated by the terribly embarrassing experience on Sunday. Do better Normandy’s.

Great drinks! I had the Dragon’s breath and it was very unique. Mario was great and takes good care of us. The French onion soup was divine!

I’ve always wanted to like and support this spot since it’s right around the corner from where I live. The folks there are nice enough enough, but the food is always a major disappointment. This restaurant basically serves reheated hotel food but charges as though they are a five star restaurant. In my latest attempt to support this restaurant we were served a piece of halibut the size of my thumb and charged $35 for it. This combined with their overpriced drinks makes it feel like a a scam whenever you visit.
