    your staff is great, but service was a bit slow and it was not very busy. Perhaps the house pooling of tips needs a re-visit? noone seemed to be motivated to go above and beyond.

    Came for the St. Patrick’s Day menu. My husband and I ordered EVERYTHING off of the menu. It was all delicious and pleasurable! We had plenty of leftovers and left very happy and full. We always enjoy The Norwegian and look forward to our next visit every time!

    The Norwegian is a unique restaurant that is always enjoyable. The menu changes weekly and the food is creative as well as excellent. We came St Patrick's day weekend and enjoyed whiskey cheese, colcannan, roasted root vegatable salad, and corned beef on rye waffles. Our experience was outstanding.
