Pork Havana
January V.

Celebrated our anniversary at Norman's. It was an excellent choice. Service was topnotch. Staff are all attentive and hospitable. We had the pre fixe menu. Portions were good and everything we chose was delicious. For starters, we had the conch soup and fried green tomatoes which both were a good dish to start this amazing meal. Yellow tail snapper was cooked very well and mashed potato seems to have truffle oil in it. We also had the pork Havana which the meat was tender and the sauce complimented the dish well. To end the night, we had the sorbet, carrot cake and key lime pie. For a person who is not a fan of key lime pie, this dessert was our favorite for the night. Cocktails were also tasty. Highly recommended place. You will feel very well attended at this place.

I was here for a private event and they did a really good job. I didn't try the food until too late so the truffle fries and pork belly appetizers were room temperature at best. I heard the pizza and chicken appetizers were really good. I tried too many of the passionfruit martinis and it really knocked me for a loop. They go down too easy so be warned.

We came to this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday. The hostess seemed disinterested though not overtly rude. The waitress however seemed to have it out for us from the moment we ordered water. We rarely drink but it is always a shock to see the abrupt attitude change that can bring with it - in this instance the waitress treated us as "cheap" for the rest of the evening. The restaurant was nearly empty and yet service was exceedingly slow. There were several times we struggled to get the waitresses attention. The blue crab beignets were extremely good. The truffle fries were okay but not fresh. The mash had very little flavor and was chunky which is just not our personal preference. The filet would have been fine but it was undercooked (ordered medium). We were given a bite sized dessert for the birthday but we both tried a nibble and neither of us cared for it (we do have some sweet tooths and it wasn't very sweet). The ambiance was the best part, it was very nice if a bit bright and all staff were dressed smartly. I would not return here. Their neighbor, ocean prime, blew them out of the water in both service and food.

I came here for my Birthday dinner. The hostess and staff are pleasant and professional. We were seated immediately with our reservation. Note: They keep the place chilly. Bring a shawl, cardigan, something to keep warm. We have 2 servers helping each other. We order drinks and food. My first issue was instead of letting me know the drink I ordered isn't available and choosing an alternative drink, they bring me a lychee martini to see if I like it. I drink it because it's in my wheelhouse and it took long to receive it. Secondly, it actually took long to receive each course. It wasn't initially busy when we arrived but it increasingly got busier during our visit. We arrived at 5:45pm and left close to 8pm. They let us know throughout the service that they were running behind and offered champagne: a nice gesture, but we're not big drinkers. Here's what we ordered: 3 Course Prix-Fixe Menu -Brazilian Styled Conch Chowder -Fillet of Key West Yellowtail Snapper -Havana Bananas -Gold Label Creekstone Farms Wagyu NY Strip Steak *Fried Green Tomatoes *Miso Bbq Glazed Mushrooms *Blue Crab Beignets (2) *Truffle Fries The food is great! I especially enjoyed the Blue Crab Beignets, Miso Bbq Glazed Mushrooms, and the Wagyu Strip Steak. I asked for the steak medium and it seemed more on the medium well side until I got to the center. It was delicious anyway and now I know to order it medium rare. Overall a nice experience, just be aware of wait times between courses.

From the beginning to the end, it was amazing. The service, the food, and the ambiance. It was all very well put together and made me and my husband's dining experience amazing. We came for our 1 year anniversary of marriage and it was very worth it. Johnny made sure we were comfortable the whole time and that everything was perfect. He definitely kept us entertained. But me and my husband enjoyed our time there tonight, we both HIGHLY recommend!

We knew we were in for a wonderful experience when we first entered Norman's. From being greeted by lovely Mia, to Taylor recommending and preparing our drinks at the bar, to Sergio's excellent service, it was a night to remember. Four of us were in town from different areas of Florida to celebrate my birthday. The restaurant is beautiful, the food was perfectly prepared and service could not have been better. We felt not only welcomed, but special. We had a Via Dellagio salad, filet mignon, blue crab beignets, yuca stuffed crispy shrimp, and a molten lava cake. Everything was absolutely delicious! In a world where restaurants are a dime a dozen, Norman's stands out in the crowd, head and shoulders above the others. We are already talking about when we will have the opportunity to head to Orlando again and go back. If you are in the area, check them out. You can thank me later!

Another remarkable meal at Norman's to celebrate my new job! We opted for several happy hour items (oysters, Tataki, pork) and drinks plus split a prix fixe 3-course and added bruschetta - lots of food and leftovers! They even split the prix fixe items and paired 1/2 glasses of wine for us! So, the photos show half of the soup and snapper along with the dessert which was one plate. Perfect weather for al fresco dining. Ladies, they even have shawls to borrow if you get chilly! John was our super fabulous server (also a bartender) and helped us with optimizing happy hour - plus we used InKind for 20% off credit for another visit.

Amazing restaurant. Highly recommend. 1. Reservation: a must. 2. Food: 5 stars Everything I had was amazing! Just get whatever is on the menu and you'll love it. (see pics) 3. Drinks: 5 stars Strong, beautifully decorated cocktails. Amazing choice of wine and their sommelier is awesome. 4. Service: professional, respectful, a bit aloof but amazing 5. Decor/ambience: Very tall ceiling, spacious, literally the opposite of claustrophobic, if anything, welcomes you to take a deep breath and relax. Mostly white decor, which is relaxing instead of dark mahogany steakhouse look and i loved it for that. Didn't see any kids, my son was the only young person here. Extremely happy to have stopped here during our annual trip to Orlando.

Fried green tomatoes
Michelle P.

Dined here for the first time over the weekend. Honestly, I'm sad I didn't even know this place existed until magical dining videos. It's super elegant inside, has like a 1920s vibe. Everyone working there is nice, attentive, and helps each other to ensure you have great service. For magical dining apps we tried the fried green tomatoes and the foie gras French toast. The fried green tomatoes were cooked nicely but I didn't love the flavor. The foie gras was very good and I recommend it. For entrees I ordered the special plancha steak which was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed the mash underneath- it was slightly sweet and yummy. My partner upgraded to the peppered steak but he said it barely had any hint of pepper, so he was disappointed in that. For desserts we tried the banana cake and the key lime pie. We were warned that the banana cake was spicy (which I don't enjoy) however this had no spice at all and was very good. The key lime pie you could tell was homemade and very tart. They were offering a bottomless $40 wine option, which my partner got and really enjoyed. I tried the peach dragonfruit cocktail (forgot the name) but it was not very good, very artificial tasting, so I ordered a glass of bubbles instead. Overall, the food was very good, the service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was very nice. We will definitely be back!

Lindsay S.

Amazing experience for our anniversary dinner! Johnnie, Matthew and all staff were super attentive and knowledgeable. The food was superb! We will definitely be back! We even got a Prosecco toast pro bono!

Athena A.

Excellent vibes. I like the ambiance. Music is on point. I'll definitely come back here again to enjoy this place. Service is excellent. Fast and courteous. Only reservations.

Filet Mignon
Fiona C.

Nice ambiance and comfortable seating. The service was cordial but they forgot one of our appetizers and we never got it. Food has a beautiful presentation! It really is nice to look at. The steak was seared to absolute perfection and very tasty and fish was juicy but the flavor was overall bland. The menu is small but has good options. However, they were out of a main menu item. When your menu is so small, being out of one item is specially impactful. We are glad we tried it and enjoyed our time, we would return if in the area already but we would not go out of our way or plan to come here.

Sam T.

Every bite was incredible, so much so I forgot to take pictures! We started with cocktails and apps at the bar for happy hour then migrated to the dining room for dinner and dessert. Highly recommend. Not only was the food to die for, the wine list had great variety and the cocktails were very good. In addition the restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff were incredible. So kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I can't wait to come back!

Anyone have an idea of their pricing?

Like any fine dining restaurant, the pricing is on the higher end. However, the excellent food, impeccable service and wonderful interior decor deserve a premium. Chef Norman is an innovator and the menu at Norman's is a prime example.

Located in the plaza next to Trader Joe's (convenient and clutch), parking was effortless with ample spaces plus valet. We were immediately greeted by two hosts with genuine, big smiles, which set the tone for the entire evening. We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef, mixologist, and general manager--a personal touch that truly elevated the experience. Our evening was a full-on culinary journey. We enjoyed oysters, shrimp, newly crafted cocktails and bold wines, crab cakes, Hamachi crudo, poached king crabs, halibut, and yes--all of the desserts!!!! Every single one of them. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and somehow better than the last. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the fish was flawless, and the balance of flavors throughout the meal was spot on. There is a chef-tasting menu--which we didn't experience this time--but after this meal, it's absolutely happening on our next visit. The night ended with a tableside dessert presentation from the chef, which was such a memorable and elevated final touch. Incredible service, exceptional food, and an atmosphere that encourages great conversation and even better memories. I cannot wait to go back. Classic hospitality, modern execution, and a menu that delivers every single time. Love the experience fellow FIU alumni, Javier provided!!!!

He inquired about the claws and told they were available in Large size, freshly delivered on that Tuesday and were available at $40 for the half order. He obliged and excitement grew as he waited.

After great crab handling display and meat consumption the gentleman sat back and relished, but the chill of the claws had him feeling a bit cold, fingers cold to any touch. As an anecdote to the chill he rested himself with a warm bowel of lobster bisque. The bisque was warming and delectable. A creamy sherry flavored broth was the bow or the evening. He thought " this restaurant delivered exemplary service from a young and professional bartender 2 outstanding seafood option at very fair value." The out of town visitor was very impressed.

So much of Orlando is dominated by very average chains but Ocean Prime stands out as one of the better ones imo. Upscale with a bit of a trendy modern feel. Food (4.5/5) - Extensive selection of seafood-dominated mains and appetizers, but also complimented by upscale steaks, sides and salads. Hamachi Crudo - Hamachi pieces with pickled mango, sweet peppers, cilantro, sesame ginger vinaigrette - outstanding appetizer - hamachi was very fresh and the mix in the crudo just works so well together. We enjoyed it so much we ordered another one instead of dessert at the end of the meal lol. Oysters On the Half Shell - had half a dozen of the west coast ones and they were pretty good... fresh and flavourful but not briney. Sea Scallops - served on a parmesan risotto, with english peas, and a citrus vinaigrette. Outstanding main... perfectly cooked texture and balanced flavour/seasoning with the perfect amount of searing. Grouper - served with lobster pieces, pasta, peas and garnishments in an emulsion. Cooked to proper firmness and a nice fresh flavour. Side Asparagus - not bad... cooked to proper firmness but maybe on bland side. Service (4.75/5) - top notch - very attentive, knowledgeable and upscale. Server and support table staff were all professional and engaging. Atmosphere (4.5/5) - upscale and classy with properly spaced table options. Not a lot of parking however not as busy as the I-Drive one. Overall (4.5/5) - a definite recommendation if you are in the Orlando area and looking to have an upscale, quality dinner date, work event, get-together.
