This was our first visit to this restaurant, but it will definitely not be our last. Everything we ordered was delicious. The ambiance was so warm, and we didn't feel rushed to leave. Can't wait to go again!

We went for Sunday Brunch. The food and service were both very good. The Restaurant itself is very tired and in dire need of deep cleaning and new carpet. The worst, however, was going to the ladies room. Dirty, loose faucets, wall paper peeled off of the walls, sticky floors, and a really filthy upholstered bench. I have always heard that you can tell the cleanliness of the kitchen by the cleanliness of bathroom. Not a good thought here.🤢

Several locals recommended Cafe Normandie to us. It did not disappoint! I had the breakfast crepe. It was fantastic and more filling than I anticipated. The roasted potatoes were excellent and a refreshing change from the home fries served at most restaurants. Bonus: they take reservations for breakfast!

We have been to this lovely restaurant many times and have always had a delicious meal and excellent service. However, this time was different. Service was so slow. It was almost an hour before our main course arrived. We had to gobble our food down and take home our desserts because we had play tickets. I do not think it was the waitress’ fault, but the slowness of the kitchen. The food was excellent, but we just couldn’t enjoy it because of the slow service.

It’s just okay, it felt the same as my last visit 2 years ago. Everything’s a bit underwhelming and the restaurant needs a deep clean.
