    It was a quiet Thursday evening at one of our favorite restaurants for dinner prior to attending Annapolis Outdoor Garden Theater performance. In the 10 years we have dined here regularly for lunch & dinner this is the first time the Osso Bucco was not falling off the bone! My Halibut with figs was over the top divine & of course the cote du rhone wine was velvety. The server was only 2 days on the job & understanding how hard it is to find servers we were very encouraging as he continued to apologize throughout the evening. The location of our cozy table for 2 enhanced the evening! We DO look forward to returning soon & giving a 5 star review!

    Our dinner at Cafe Normandie was such an enjoyable one! My husband and I shared the escargot appetizer served in shell. It was so well prepared. 12 plump snails with just the right amount of garlic and butter, along with dense French bread the better to soak up the drippings! We indulged in the Chateaubriand for 2. It could easily have served 3-4. Perfectly prepared to our request; very rare for my husband and less so for me. The roasted vegetables were so savory with the meat juices. Capped off with a half-price bottle of Côtes du Rhône; we were transported back to Paris! Our waitress, Tatiana was perfection. She gave the kitchen our convoluted rareness request, consistently checked back, and even spotted an overlooked snail still inside the shell! A memorable evening in Annapolis!

    Dined here many years ago but found it was still open. The chef has been there for 38 years and is still turning out a very good dining experience. Traditional French cuisine with some having a modern twist. Reasonably priced French wine list. A definite hit when looking for an upscale dining experience in Annapolis.
