The wait for our food, one hour, was ridiculous. They said the kitchen was behind 20 minutes. The food was a bit overdone. This is the first time I’ve experienced a problem there.

I absolutely love Cafe Normandie, it never disappoints. Today I took a friend for a birthday lunch, and it was lovely. For this visit, I rated it a 4 rather than a 5 because the escargot, while delicious, were short—out of a dozen, four had inaccessible fillings.

We visited on a Saturday evening with 5:30 reservations. We were promptly seated at an upstairs table. It took several minutes (10-15) before our waitress visited our table. She was doing a great job - I think she had too many tables and was struggling to keep up. Drinks and apps were brought up pretty quickly but then it was at least a 45 minute wait before our meals were served. My daughter’s steak was under seasoned and very fatty and we had to ask for a steak knife since they didn’t bring one ahead of time or with the steak. My risotto with scallops was very good!! I don’t understand charging $4 for a serving of bread and butter for the table. Seems excessive. Overall, we would not feel the need to go back.

This charming, cozy restaurant is a perennial favorite of ours. The food is consistently good with French favorites you can't find anywhere else in the area, such as bone marrow, escargot, and crepes. I am particularly fond of the trout almondine, and even though roast chicken sounds boring, it certainly is not. We appreciate that we never feel rushed. This is not a place that is counting the minutes until they can flip the table and doesn't look askance at customers who want to savor their cocktails before ordering appetizers.
