Norma's - Parker Palm Springs

Hello, Happy Luxe. Looking for the ultimate five star diner? At Norma’s at Le Parker Meridien Palm Springs the dining experience begins with a shot of the fruit smoothie of the day and ends with a gift of delectable lightly glazed orange slices. In between, a gastronomic delight of entrees including Very Berry Brioche French Toast, Normalitas Huevos Rancheros, Flat-As-A-Pancake Crabcake, Pancho's Fish Tacos, the chef’s famous Zillion Dollar Frittata straight from Broadway, or Lobster Swimming in Cheezy Macaroni are sure to delight the most discriminating patron. Norma’s wooden floor, cozy leather chairs and inviting residential feeling sets the stage for relaxed gatherings of family and friends. Choose to dine under the stars on the lovely Norma’s patio or surround yourself with the innovative interior of famed New Yorker Jonathan Adler, who has brought his quirky designs out into the California sun at Norma’s at Le Parker Meridien Palm Springs.

"I really enjoyed my lunch at Norma's, the decor of the patio is amazing.
I wish they would have brought the wine at the same time as the food... it took them a while and a few additional requests to eventually bring it over.
other than that. no complain. I had a great experience

"First visit to Norma's. Had been given cookbook, so knew what to look forward to.
Went with group. It was busy, but service was excellent. Loved the daily smoothie.
Everyone in our group tried something different - from healthy to absolutely decadent.
Everyone was happy with their meals. I tried the Wa-Za, not only beautiful presentation,
but soo good and not too sweet. Other favorites - Norma's benedict and Rock lobster and asparagus omelette.
Were also happy that could substitute potatoes for fruit.
Looking forward to returning!!

"Probably the most expensive tuna salad sandwich I've ever ordered but...it was excellent as was the lobster and mango salad ordered by my spouse. The outdoor seating allows for quiet conversation and a walk through the gardens (after your brunch/lunch) is an added plus."

"This is my second time at Norma's and if your in Palm Springs you MUST go. First reason, the breakfast is the BOMB and second to just enjoy the totally fab Parker Hotel. I never get tired of going there. Just love the decor to death! Recommend reservations for breakfast on weekend just in case it gets busy ."

"I took my girlfriend there for a nice night out. I was expecting to spend $100 plus bucks on a nice meal with good service in a hip resturant nestled in an architecturally signifigant environment. We went for dinner at 7pm Sat night on modernism weekend. The place was dead. We were one of 2 or 3 tables. The waiter was very nice but pretty green for a place like this. The menu was disapointing and unexciting. I had a meal that I could of had a Chilis or Applebees for a third of the price and it would have tasted better too. The $12 drinks were unexciting and watered down. I expected to spend over $100 and I did. However, it met none of my other expectations. Spend your money elsewhere."

"We had a delightful breakfast on the patio on a beautiful California morning. The mood was fun and lively the service was attentive. The food was outstanding and truly creative. Fabulous non-stop coffee service and interesting people watching make it a must for entertaining visiting friends."
