Best Romantic Restaurants in Normandy Beach

Rue 561 Bistro is an absolute gem! The mac and cheese is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor—easily one of the best I’ve ever had. But the real star is the 45-day aged ribeye—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and bursting with deep, savory goodness. The attention to detail in every dish is unmatched, and the atmosphere is just as impressive. Whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special occasion, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Had a great night at Half Moon Point. Ambiance was very nice and food was flavorful / fresh (fillet, shrimp tacos & shrimp pasta). Friendly service team.

This was our first time at the Grand Tavern and was not aware there was not an area to wait if you arrived early. We ended up going downtown for a cocktail while we waited for our reservation time to arrive. Apon returning, the hostess, our bartender, our waitress all we were very informative and nice. We enjoyed being able to relax with a glass of wine, not being rushed during our apps and dinner. (all selections we chose, you could see were made with care, cooked perfectly and bursting with flavors!) We enjoyed our night here and would recommend it to our friends.

Dining at Poached Pear was very enjoyable. The ambiance and staff were welcoming giving you a good feeling. We're not nearby but will be back before the summer crowd. :-)

Always an amazing experience! The food is delicious and fresh!! Their style of cooking is made with love from old school recipes!! We have been here many times, as well as their storefront, Breakin Bread Eatery, for sandwiches, etc… You know you’re going to eat good here and roll yourself out to your car!! 😆 From the moment you walk in, you are always greeted with a warm and friendly hello and shown such appreciation and gratitude for supporting their business before you leave!! Thanks again Pete and Nicole for a wonderful night!! ❤️
