Diner Reviews
  • "We lunched on a quiet Thursday at noon. There were only a handful of occupied tables inside and out. We chose to eat inside due to very hot climate (105 degrees), which provided a lovely view of the landscaped grounds of the Parker property and patio area. Menu is varied, and we were delighted to find out that the breakfast items were still available. We enjoyed a lobster omelette and a Cobb Salad; both were very good, but a bit bland; needed more seasoning (but 2 types of hot sauce were brought to the table). Service was prompt, professional and friendly. The small smoothie of the day was a welcome treat. Yes, this restaurant is a bit pricing ($25 for the omelette), but it IS lobster....in California."

  • "Each and every time we venture to Palm Springs we always, always grab a bite at Norma's and tour the grounds of the Parker. It's very unique and embodies all that is good about Palm Springs. Go to the hip and splurge. You will not regret it."

  • "we love brunch at Norma's; their egg dishes and their potato pancakes are superb and we always enjoy their smoothie of the day. Service is personal and very professional and, now, with Chef Herve, it can only get better! (if that's possible)"

  • "I adore the Parker and have been to Mr Parker's at previous restaurant weeks and enjoyed it. I expect the hefty prices but not mediocre food and terrible service. Despite being nearly empty at 7:30 pm I first got the wrong appetizer, so my friend was finished with her first course before I received mine.Then the waiter apologized for the long wait (45 mins to an hour?) for the main course (mushy fish) but mentioned knocking something off the tab, and I half seriously/half jokingly said "how about more wine?", which was ignored. As was his mention of a lower price. $50 for the lower priced restaurant week prix fixe and a glass of wine? Puh-lease"

  • "At our recent our breakfast we were very well looked after by our fabulous waiter Tito. He was very friendly and welcoming and also provided great menu choice suggestions . Our breakfast was delicious and Tito kept the strong coffee flowing. The setting was ideal on the outdoor patio on a warm sunny morning. The people watching was fascinating. I would definitely return."

  • "I'd heard so much about The Parker because I'm a modernism buff but the ambiance didn't cry out to me. The waiter and car guys were darling. Waiter even told us the history of the place and did a great job. He was so, so pleasant. Because of the rain there was no outdoor seating and I think I would have given The Parker a higher rating had we sat outside. It was just so loud we could hardly hear one another....really loud, so if you go, ask for an outside seat on the patio. My fish tacos were good, fish they broiled for me and it was wonderful, just a little skimpy. Also the gal who seated us really tried to put us in a quiet corner."

  • "Lovely setting, fine service, mixed reviews on our lunches, with some in our group happier than others. Lobster mac and cheese very rich, spicy shrimp quesadilla delicious, tuna salad sandwich bland and too much mayo."

  • "below average food, lackluster service... has seen better days! My third (and last) time at Norma's. Waitress was over it. The one dish she liked (fish tacos) was terrible - tortillas had not even been warmed up from the bag! My husband asked what kind of whiskey's they had.... she didn't know. He asked if she could check at the bar, she said she would write down as many as she could. Results? "Wild Turkey, Jack Daniels and some other fancy ones." Had to flag someone to order another round of drinks After our appetizers, brought entrees without having bussed the starters (or first round of drinks). Custom milkshakes were terrible. One fell on floor and me, NO ONE ever came over to see if we were OK or if they could help."

  • "The food and service at Norma's meet the price. The menu selection is very good with something for everyone. You can't go wrong with any of the entrees and they are large portions meant to be shared. The smoothie of the day is always a treat to start your meal and really sets the tone for the remainder of the dining experience. We had breakfast twice at Norma's while staying at the Parker and both times exceeded our expectations for breakfast. Make sure you dine here when in Palm Springs as you won't regret it. The blueberry pancakes are some of the best we have ever had."

  • "Once again, Norma's did not dissapoint. We had breakfast two days in a row. On day one, the Eggs Florentine was beyond delightful and tasted heavenly. The lobster eggs seems a little dry. Also, the coffee wasn't quite hot enough. Day two, the berry french toast was divine and the sweetness melted in and around the plethora of blueberries. My fruit ring was fresh, but the papaya was green. This time the coffee was perfectly HOT! Tracy our server made us feel like we belonged and raised the bar on service!"

  • "This place has a great selection of Brunch meals. I had the peanut butter waffles ... outstanding. My wife had the juevos rancheros, and man did that look good. My kids had the fresh donut balls with jam to dip in."

  • "Stopped by the resort for a wedding venue tour. No go on the venue, but great lunch. Fiance had Lobster macncheese and it was fantastic. Really really good. I had the Ahi cobb- very good also- strong on the wasabi dressing tho. They give you a shooter of the daily smoothie when you sit down, so it helped since the wait for lunch was a little on the longer side. Service was good with the exception of the greeter who looked confused. Server was fantastic. I would go again, but just for brunch/lunch"

  • "Norma's is a great hotel cafe. A little expensive for what it is but the food, service and space are good. I could do with a little more then four demitasse cups of coffee from a $12 french press pot, (the same will cost $19 if you order it through room service!) but otherwise it's quite good."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "Best breakfast on a beautiful patio. A must if you are staying at the Parker! They even give you a sample of their smoothie of the day to start, and the breakfast quesidilla is outstanding!"

  • "This is a destination place for a good meal with all the amenities one would expect at Norma's. It is especially nice to take the time to explore the grounds and relax by the fire on a cold morning! And yes, it can get very cold in Palm Springs."

  • "Normas as always provides a whimsical getaway with excellent food and a friendly wait staff that made this celebratory moment even better. From the smoothie shots to the entrees everything was perfect. Our group had the potato pancakes which were perfect with great sauces, pancakes of several varieties and the breakfast quesadilla. We will happily return again and I highly recommend it for those interested in a great breakfast in Palm Springs."

  • "Brunch was good. But no good enough in comparison to the bill. $100 breakfast for two. That's a bit steep. Especially considering the bloody Mary's were horrible and we didn't even drink them. We loved the space and food but I don't think we would return its simply not worth the price."
    Dined on 12/1/2012
  • "Food was ok. Had to send our hamburger which twice, which made for a slow and awkward meal. Restaurant is beautiful and ambiance is great, but food was disappointing. The gems of the meal were the potato pancake and the breakfast smoothie."
    Dined on 11/24/2012
  • "Not worth the price. No one came to help us at the valet stand, and once we parked ourselves, we wandered around for 10 minutes trying to find the entrance to the restaurant. The overdone presentation just made the food harder to eat, and I'm never sure how anyone can justify charging 18 dollars for bacon and eggs. We were all also attacked by tiny birds on the patio the whole time. Bloody Mary only Meh. Go to Cheeky's instead for brunch."
