Norma's at Le Parker Meridien Reviews List

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"If you are looking for a mix of breakfast and lunch meals, Norma's is definitely the place to go. The food was awesome - especially the freshly squeezed orange juice (the sweetest I have ever had). The coffee could have been hotter when it came out. The very berry french toast was great to look at and great to eat. The service was excellent and the waiters were very professional. Definitely, worth coming again!"

"Definitely a pricey place to visit for breakfast, but the food is very good. Great for a special occasion breakfast or brunch. I was a little disappointed considering a cup of coffee costs $7 and I actually had to ask for Equal and Sugar in the Raw packets!! You'd think they could afford to leave it on the table - it reminded me of a diner!!"

"Better pay cash. I paid with credit card and left 15% tip, but hotel charged 20%. I am working on claim. Leaving 15% I think was a lot, because service was terrible. We ordered 1 single plate p/person and it took more than 30 min to arrive."

"Over-priced for what it is.

Coffee served luke warm and replaced with more luke-warm coffeee.

Toast was served ice cold.

Cream curdled in coffee.

At these prices, better is expected.

Review 16 for Norma's at Le Parker Meridien

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"This is our 3rd or 4th visit to Norma's as we had loved it in the past. Unfortunately, it did not meet the previous standards, and we will not return. It started with bitter coffee, not hot, due to frigid room and silly uninsulated French press. A replacement carafe was tasty. Huevos Rancheros and accompanying salsa & guacamole were not as fresh and flavorful as before and room temperature made cheese congeal on plate long before could eat. Blueberry pancakes were perfect, amuse of smoothie nice, just nothing as special as in the past. Server was okay but should take lessons from lovely hostess on attentiveness and general cheer. With juice & coffee alone over $20 PP and $100+ for two breakfasts they need to step up."

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"The portions are large, but overall too overpriced for what it is. I had the moist french toast which was 3 large pieces of brioche french toast with an orange syrup, good but certainly not worth $21. The crispy french toast was better, but also not worth $21. Neither type of french toast was soaked in the egg long enough and both were quite tough and bready around the edge.
The banana macadamia flapjacks were Ok but had a burnt taste in spots, and also quite overpriced. Service was very good.

"WE had the last seating for brunch and although we were seated on time, service was very very slow. Our server disappeared after taking our order. The food was brought out by a series of others and we had to ask several times for the check. All this didn't make the food less tasty though. But $10 for coffee , stil a littel pricey."

"Norma's is a great brunch place, solely because of the food, but the service needs A LOT of improvement.

I had a reservation for 10:30 am, but we did not get seated until 10:50 am. We were hungry and we had to wait 45 minutes before we got our food. When we did get our food, they got my order wrong. My four-year-old niece told me that she was hungry THREE TIMES. The server that we had never checked in on us for 45 minutes. I was so excited to visit Norma's, but ended up getting really disappointed about the service. Not a good experience at all.

The place may be popular and the food may be good, but I would pick another place for brunch over Norma's. Sorry.

"Our experience was negatively affected by the 45 minute wait that our party of 7(which included our 8 month preganant daughter-in-law) endured. This was the first time we have dined at Norma's, so when the waiter who was holding two pitchers of orange juice asked us if we wanted some in the glasses that were already on the table, we agreed to a taste. We were NOT informed that this cost $9.00 per glass ($63.00 for 7 people.)The implication was that this was part of the meal, as was the petite berry smoothies that were also served. The food was delicious but the wait and the "hidden" charge was disturbing and spoiled our time."

"The food was excellent. I highly recommend the arepa and the fresh-squeezed OJ. The downside -- the service was well below my expectations. My 3 friends got their food and 5-10 minutes passed and I was still waiting. I flagged the waiter at 5 minutes, but he didn't come over right away. Then he acted like it was an inconvenience for him and didn't apologize or offer a free OJ (which is $9) for our tab. He or the food servers should have been on top of it - especially based on the hefty price tag for brunch."

"Our food was good but expensive. I don't think Norma is what it once was. I love the complimentary shot of smoothie at the beginning of a meal. My eggs with cream sauce arrived cold and the spinach was watery. I sent it back and they brought me another one promptly (although spinach was still watery and potatoes were no longer on the plate). The PB waffle was so rich that my chocolalic husband couldn't finish it although he enjoyed the 3/4 he ate. The sausage was delicious- tender and flavorful."

"I went there with a friend before a matinee at the theater. With reservations we had a wait of 15 minutes, but it was well worth it. The crepes and french toast were out of this world. The complimentary smoothies were delicious. The atmosphere was bustling and noisy. The tables were crowded together but who cares? There were so many great things to chose from on the menu. I can't wait to go back!"

"Norma's had a lot of hype surrounding it from reviews I read and it mostly lived up to it. The food was very tasty, but the service was slow. When we were there, the mix of people wasn't very diverse, but still made for good people watching. Would return."

"The Monday morning breakfast was great. Nice bright sunny space in the Le Parker Meridien. Service was top notch, seemed like toop notch dinner service. The price however was too high. $90.00 for breakfast? This was not a brunch. We had an omelet, eggs ben., side of bacon, oj, and coffee. 2 people, no alcohol. Save it for a special occasion unless you don't car about the price."

"Nice experience, good food, but very very expensive. Service was OK at best. To pay 5.00 dollars for 2 slices of toast is a bit exagerating. Made res at noon and did not sit till 12:25, but if YOU are late they charge your cc. In other words they DO NOT need you as there is always a line."

"Portions are too big and not tasteful. Out of 5 meals we ordered only one was good enough. Omelletes are huge, pan cakes were full of cream, couldn't get the taste of it. Coffee is machine made! The management should go and check their equivalent hotels in Asia and Europe and see how a proper hotel brunch should be. Or may be my expectations were too high due to the reviews. Regardless, my rating is poor."

"The space and the service were excellent, and very relaxing and enjoyable. The food was unfortunately just awful. It was executed well, but the concept behind mine and my friend's dishes were just simply not appetizing in any way. I wouldn't eat my dish again (egg white frittata with shrimp and spinach) if it were free, and my friend, who is from Texas and ordered huevos rancheros to remind her of home, said hers was not even as good as a TGI Fridays in Texas. If only the bill were in the range of a TGI Fridays... We were very surprised at how bad our overall dishes were, because everything else (the coffee, the toast, the jam) was excellent. The egg white portion of my frittata smelled and tasted like a science experiment gone wrong."

The coffee and orange juice alone are worth a visit! We had the banana macadamia nut pancakes with the warm maple butter and your version of eggs benedict - both were the best we ever had."

"The group of four people at my table all enjoyed their meal and the beautiful surroundings. It was expensive ($9 for a glass of orange juice) but once you are aware, you can order accordingly. It was the best French Toast I have ever eaten and I'm already looking forward to the blueberry pancakes on my next visit. We have a subscription to the Pearl Theater at NYC Center, so we will return."

"Norma's does elevate brunch from a mundane to an exceptional, albeit hectic, level. It's hard to believe that the NYC fire code would allow so many people in such a small space, but the ballet between the wait staff and the patrons trying to get to their table is part of the entertainment. The food is worth whatever hassle you have to endure (including waiting for your table for 20-30 minutes, even with a reservation). Our group with the NJSeriousFoodie contingent had dishes that were all top notch: Norma's eggs benedict, heuvos rancheros, a breakfast arepa, and an amazing buckwheat galette. Great coffee, fresh orange juice rounds out the experience. It's still one of our favorite brunch spots, especially near Central Park South."

"I would say that given how much breakfast cost that fair is above average. for about $25 for an egg dish (the taste was good). my poached eggs were over poached and i had to send them back. my friends toast was cold. than i asked for some toast (artychokey (?) does not come with bread) and by the time i received it my food was almost gone. guess another 10 minutes or so. maybe it was the luck of our draw, because the place was busy all day, but, for $45 dollars for eggs and juice I can say i wont be back. to many other great places to eat in the city."

"The experience was VERY disappointing. Reservations were not honored, perhaps because the serving staff was so slow. The fresh orange juice is a nice touch as were the mini smoothies, but there is no excuse that it took close to an hour to get water, and finally our food, which by the way was cold. Not worth the price or the wait."

"Great experience as usual. Love the atmosphere and sensation of Norma's. It's a true city experience. The pressed coffee and guava/oj blend juice were excellent. Huevos rancheros and krispie french toast as entrees for two were the perfect blend of substance and sweet. Interesting take on the huevos, almost too cheesy but nonetheless delectable. And that french toast, my gosh, you don't even need to pour syrup on it - the bites simply melt. Although, the krispie still makes me to scared to even think of ordering the chocolate decadence french toast... but in a good way. ;) Thank you and kudos Norma's."

It's very pretty there and the service was great. It was the perfect Sunday brunch. Thank you!"

"We had a wonderful brunch at Normas's. The food was delicious. The quantities were huge, but we had been told that prior to arriving.Although it was Valentine's Day and there was a crowd in the lobby, we did not feel rushed. I think that the key is to get there early on a holiday. It will be a great meeting place for all our cousins on our next trip."

Review 72 for Norma's at Le Parker Meridien

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"Went to Norma's for brunch last Saturday. Arrived at 12pm but were told they were running 10 minutes late with reservations so had a pre-drink in the bar. Half an hour later followed up with the hostess; she had completely skipped us. We were, however, seated right away at that point. Overall our waitress was rude and wouldn't make eye contact. I asked if she could substitute the bacon in my dish as I don't eat meat and she advised that they don't do substitutions. I ordered the eggs florentine anyway and put the bacon on the side. My husband had omelette with shrimp. Both dishes were excellent. The table next to us had waffles & pancakes which looked amazing. Overall the food was exceptional but service was exceptionally bad."

"To be charged a deposit seemed unnecessary since many people w/o reservations were jockeying to get in this handsome place. Our reservation was honored promptly, but we were seated so near the neighboring tables that there wasn't room for all the winter paraphernalia people were carrying. Waiters poured orange juice at $8 without being asked. On this, our second visit, the imaginative menu was beautifully served but seemed less tasty than it looked for ... $100 with tax and tips, and no alcohol!"

"Norma's is an excellent place. The food is amazing, plates are gigantic so do not eat the night before and splurge during brunch. For such a busy place, service was quite good. When we arrived, we were greeted with a BIG smile from the host and the hostess, a BIG plus for us. Then, they said that it would take 10 minutes to get our table... It took less! Well done. I would definitively go back and avoid eating the two previous days! Two BIG thumbs up for Norma's."

"This was brunch on steroids. Over priced on every item. The fajitas with their well prepared beef and condiments were good, but not worthy of a $25 brunch plate. Overall, I felt crushed in a small space forced to pay exhorbitant prices for food that was good but not great. In all, an over rated, artificially pumped up experience."

"The hostess was incredibly rude and obnoxious. And as we had to wait about 40 minutes after our reservation time for the table -- we saw she was this way with multiple guests.

We had to wait about 45 minutes for simple egg dishes once we ordered. the service was lousy!

This is an expensive restaurant for what it is -- and the food is not particularly special any more. We will not return.

"I has been to Normas numerous times. The portions are historic proportions. However the wait is as well. We had reservations fro 11:15 and didnt get sat until almost 12.We could see they were extremly backed up. So although you may want to save you appetite when you go...you might want to pack a granola bar."

"Nobody beats Norma's for interesting, tasty brunch foods.
Even considering it was the Monday of President's weekend, the kitchen was tirelessly s-l-o-w! It was difficult to even find our waiter for coffee refills.
We've been there at other less busy times with better results in service.

"The food was very very good, but the service is horrible. We had a 12:45 reservation, which I had made online that morning. We werent seated until 12:10. Waiter then came over, poured us very good, but warm, orange juice, took our order and we didnt get our food for over 50 minutes. Eggs, French Toast and a melon with fresh fruit and yogurt should not take that long. Never an apology from the waiter or an explanation."

"We were on time for our reservation but the table was not ready when we arrived. The wait ended up being about 10-15 minutes; we passed the time by sampling offerings of the salon/cocktail sitting area.
The table service was not up to the usual level we have come to expect when we decide to visit Norma's for brunch. A request for lemon with the water was received negatively. When we asked for recommendations among dishes we had not tried before, we did not receive any useful information so we decided to go for a mixture of tried and true (pancakes), upstream eggs Benedict and the lobster macaroni. As ALWAYS, the food was wonderful! We will be back on another occasion...

"The Star here is the food. Amazing and unusual brunch items that are most beautifully presented and equally delicious. You can stare at the menu for hours and still not be able to make a decision. That is the specialty of Norma's and why it is a must go -- at least once. Now ---if you don't like being overcharged for what you get, downright cold service, and very high-end snob appeal -- it will probably be the only time you go. But you should still go at least once to experience that menu and food!!."

"We came 90 minutes early for our reservation but were not seated early when others were being seated, so I think that making a reservation actually hurt us. However, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was amazing. Don't go if you're in any kind of a rush, but it is well worth the wait. Great for a date or small groups. Probably the nicest brunch place in the city."

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"Having been to the funky-fun Norma's at the Parker in Palm Springs I was expecting a little more ecletic and "with it" decor, but that's my only real complaint. The decor was like a 4-Seasons or Ritz Carlton, pleasant, but conservative. Some windows would have been nice, though they do get points for the soaring ceiling. I'm a designer, so judge for yourself.

Noise level was pretty loud, but it's a busy, rocking place, made it exciting and fun to make up for the dull decor. Food was FANTASTIC. Huge portions and big eclectic menu, my head was spinning. Service was very good, but as has been a problem in many new york restaurants of late, servers with poor english. Couldn't have been more pleasant and attentive though.

"What a disappointment. My two colleagues and I went for the Restaurant Week menu. Since there were three of us, we were able to order one of each item from the menu.The appetizers were by far the best -- the potato pancakes were okay,the eggs benedict were okay (a little weird on a pancake),but the best was the lox on a mini-bagel. The lox was outstanding,and that's because it wasn't made at Normas. Two of the entrees were inedible -- the minute steak was gray, rubbery, and the gravy looked crusted-over as if it had been standing a while. The shrimp frittata was a joke (3 shrimp atop rubbery egg whites),and the cobb salad was an embarrassment. Chopped iceburg lettuce and seared Ahi tuna?! Desserts were passable. Don't go for Rest. Week!"

"Food was a great experience if you weren't rushed to the next course. We were there for restautant week. The waiter didn't wait for us to finish before the next course was put next to us. I think the waiter ws trying to get us finished before the next shift came, but that didn't happen. Next thing ou know it, we had a new set of waiters for dessert."

"The service was attentive and the food was very good. All of our dishes were beautifully presented. The complimentary "amuse bouche" of fresh strawberry smoothie was delicious and added a cute touch to our breakfast. The only negative was the toast served with the omelet was too hard to enjoy. Pricy for breakfast, but attention to detail made the experience worth it."

"We go here all the time. I realize it is definitely a popular tourist stop as well, but would think the restaurant appreciates repeat business, to some degree. After we were seated past our reservation time, our food took forever, our waiter left during our meal without letting us know. After tooking too long to seat us, and too long to get our food-and not bringing the check, the host asked us to please leave because they needed the table for another reservation. $200 for breakfast and a nice kick out the door? It was very disappointing."

"Norma's was a delight. We went for brunch. The menu was fun to read. So many fabulous choices. Something for everyone. The tables are a bit too close together and it is hard not to be part of the other tables conversation. Service was good but be aware of the items the wait staff offers because they are not part of the breakfast. I will definitely be back."

"We loved the food when we had our meal on Sunday, January 31st. We had a 12:30 reservation but were not seated until 1:15. We were notified to be on time which we were. I think you should honor your reservations in a more timely fashion. Our waiter was kind but inattentive. He did not return to ask if wanted a refill of our coffee. I felt the service was not what it could have been. Overall, we were pleased with our meals and would consider returning."

"Good food, terrible service. Do not come here if you are in a hurry or have any plans for 2 hours afterwards - you will miss them. (Even if you flag for your waiter that you are in a hurry)

Also, an orange juice and a coffee costs $16. Ridic!

"Norma's is my favorite spot for brunch. On Sunday, I was treating a friend for his birthday. He's a very fussy, picky eater, but he finally settled on the french toast with berries -- and he ate every last morsel! I had a delicious arepo with chorizo and sunnyside up fried eggs. It, too, was superb and I didn't leave a crumb on the plate. I can well understand why it's difficult to get a reservation here, because, it caters to both the hotel guests and tourist trade, as well as to us dyed-in-the-wool native New Yorkers who know a good thing when they taste it!"

"Completely overpriced and food was mediocre at best - $7 coffee? $9 orange juice? We had a reservation and after we arrived on time we were finally seated 45mins later only to be told by our waiter that the kitchen was closing and we had to order right away. I ordered the Norma’s eggs Benedict which was suppose to be made with buttermilk pancakes but it came with lemon pancakes so over powered by lemon that it as almost inedible. We felt rushed and once the bill was presented the waiter (by plopping it on the table – no thank you) he came over at least 4 times looking to see if we have paid – reaching over me to open the bill to see if there was payment. The worst was when he picked it up and then placed it in the middle of the tabl"

"It was restaurant week, so I took advantage of the 3 course special menu, which was a great mix of tastes. Unfortunately, it took 1/2 hour to get the first course, and my companion had an appointment, so he had to leave just as dessert arrived. (People who didn't order off the restaurant week menu seemed to get served faster.) The food was outstanding, however, and if we hadn't had to wait so long for the frst course and hence gotten pressed for time, it would have been an 5 star outing."

"We went for Restaurant Week. You definitely get your money's worth of food. We found ourselves already full after the appetizer. We got the steak and it was a lot of meat, and we were barely able to finish dessert. The desserts were the highlight of the meal. The orange juice had a strange chemical taste. The waiter was kind enough to take it off our bill because of our dissatisfaction."

"The sleek, modern lines of Norma's in Le Parker Meridien Hotel differed tremendously from those of the lobby. The chef took brunch and tweeked it up to lunch: Eggs Benedict, Lox and Lox of Bagel (Who writes the copy for these menus?), including fresh capers (which we'd never seen before) and Potato Pancakes for appetizers, and Chocolate Decadence French Toast for dessert, for example. The portions were so generous that each course was a meal in itself. I heard lots of oooos and ahhhs because of the beautiful presentation and tastiness of each dish. The service was very pleasant but slow, and one of the waiters wore the worst wig I've ever seen. Overall, lunch at Norma's, was filling and fun."

"We went for brunch and the food did not disappoint. Prices were a little steep but we enjoyed it for a special occasion. We ordered Norma's Eggs Benedict and the crunchy French toast... both were fantastic. The only downside was how cramped we were... we practically sat on top of the people next to us. Highly recommend reservations."

"This is the last time I will eat at Norma's. The food was fine, not that exciting anymore, but the service was not. We were taking our out of town cousin for brunch and I chose Norma's because it should have been an exceptional experience. I stopped by the desk to ask them about celebrating my cousin's birthday at brunch that day. No problem, they would bring, without further prompting, a birthday cheesecake with a candle. At the end of our meal not only was there no a cheesecake, our waiter did not even ask us if we'd care for anything else. He unceremoniously put our check down without a word. I was unhappy to say the least. I complained and we did receive an apology and the chessecake. Too little, too late"

"Sunday Brunch at Norma's was outstanding! Courteous wait staff, attentive without being pushy. Dishes were presented very well, with wonderfully sized portions, and careful twists on standards that made me say: "I've got to come back to try that one next time."
The atmosmhere was energetic, not too quiet and stuffy, but not uncomfortably loud. Our Manhattan based college students really enjoyed the vibe. All in all a wonderful experience.

"This is the place to go when you want a special brunch every now and again... yes, it's 2x the cost of your average brunch but it's 4x as good. Very cool ambience/setting, so it 'feels' like a special place. I'm a cheap guy, and I still recommend this because I feel like you definitely get your money's worth."

"Don't know exactly how to describe it, but the gooey glob of whatever on top of the "Waz-Za" was unappetizing. I expected, as the menu described - "Fruit Inside, Fruit Outside, Crackely Brulee Top!" There was fruit inside, fruit outside, this gooey glob of whatever all over the place, and then a Crackely Brulee Top. What was it? Yogurt mixed with fruit?? I ate it, but it was gross.

Service was great. Prices a little extreme.

"Food is good. Service excellent. Seating terrible for two. Each elbow touching strangers. Our hostess with an attitude acted like we were complaining about nothing.
Prices were rediculous when padded by orange juice and cofee. Like a banker's bonus. Will leave Normas to first time patrons.

"My expectations were pretty high, but Norma's really failed spectacularly. The large portions don't make sense except to try to justify the high prices. Why not serve reasonable portions and charge less? The food was only so-so, with everything being over-the-top to match the portion sizes. It took our waiter a good 20 minutes and 2 requests from the host to even check in with us once we were seated.

Won't be going back to Norma's.

"I was really looking forward to have brunch here. And so on the above date, my friend and I had the opportunity to do brunch. I realize that the place closes at 3p, but it just seemed that they tried to rush us out of there asking for the signed tab, multiple times. In addition, it took a while for use to be attended, I had to ask for our attendant. With regard to the food, I had high expectations about it esp of the Hot Chestnut Pancakes, as it was highlighted as one of the Norma's recommendations...but it was quite average, and so that was a total disappointment."

"Incredible food for those looking for something off the beaten brunch track. A pot of French-press coffee and a complimentary two-ounce fruit smoothie are on the table when you sit down. Unlike my last experience here,the fact that my companion was late was not an issue. We were not rushed and lingered over coffee even though every table was filled on a Saturday morning. The quesadilla was good, but at $23, not exceptional. The fruit covered, brioche French toast, however, was an extraordinary delight, and the coffee was almost worth the $14 price tag. This is definitely a 'special-occasion' place."

"Excellent service and a special place to enjoy breakfast. While the prices are exhorbitant, it is also part of its charm to dine at a place that promotes itself as such. At the recommendation of the staff, I chose the Crunchy French Toast. The fresh juice shooters and freshly squeezed orange juice were a hit, and the French Presse was a lovely touch. The atmosphere was Paris meets New York - banquette seating in a modern atmosphere. Service was quick, personal and attentive. A fun people-watching spot on a working day."

"If you've never tried Norma's, you should -- they have the most creative and varied menu I've seen. And, the best part is you can have breakfast any time of day, as well as some other very nice dishes. Not cheap. If you don't have a reservation, plan to wait over 1 hour."
