The Restaurant at The Norton

Interesting collection of patrons. limited menu. service slow. convenient for attending the museum

Ambiance, menu, drinks, service was to our full satisfaction. We want to specially mention the outstanding, friendly, witty service by Anna. And the best Margarita in town, clearly made from scratch.

It was lovely. The food was fresh and the service friendly.

It was over-priced, limited, and most of my meal was french fries.

Ambiance was great, sit outside if possible to avoid the high noise level. The food was good, no complaints and the service was excellent. What drive the review is the high cost of the meal, very high for slightly above average food.

Great restaurant. Average to high prices. Only open on Friday in the summer. Vegetarian options.

As a resident of West Palm Beach, I’m thrilled with the Norton Museum’s incredible, new enlarged spaces. Friday night dinner facing an outdoor venue used for fun and games, lent to the joyous atmosphere. A little noisy but we soon adjusted and enjoyed the food and wine. The server needed more training.

Service and ambiance is fabulous. Food was good and overall the restaurant is a wonderful place to have lunch

The food was excellent. The only thing we're didn't like wad the mashed potatoes. Everything else was great.

We truly enjoyed the food here. The dining experience is very similar to the art galleries surrounding it, unique, creative and tasteful. (And expensive, but that’s art).

We were pleasantly surprised when we went to the museum and having no thought of having dinner there. Then we stumbled upon the Restaurant and decided to stay and eat and were so glad we did. The food was great plus we had a lovely view of the gardens. Everything was 1st class so now we plan to go back when we are in the area, regardless of whether we plan on going to the museum itself. It was that good.

Lovely surprise for us at the Norton - it was our first visit there. The service is warm and friendly. The food is diverse, beautiful presentation, not your normal fare. We enjoyed it very much.

Everything was great go there weekly

This was our second time at the Norton Restaurant. We enjoyed it once again. We forgot to bring our discount postcards from the first time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Norton. The food and service was excellent. The ambiance could use some improvement. The food is a little over priced for what you get but nevertheless delicious. The dining room reminded both of us of a cafeteria at Kennedy Space Center. It could use a bit more color and creativity to match the dinner menu.

Was looking forward to dining in the new dining room since the renovation ....the room is very contemporary ...but cold ...as was my entree and fries ..unacceptable ..food should arrive to the table hot .. and also we only saw our server once ...when she took our order and not again till we asked for our check ..but I think what really was the most annoying thing of the evening ,was when they charged us for a slice of bread !! NO ,JUST NO ....

Lovely atmosphere; excellent food; great service; delightful overall

The four of us enjoyed the food we had at our first visit to the restaurant. But two of my friends thought that the portions were too small. Gluten free items would also be appreciated.

Amazing experience.
Table at the window looking at the sculpture garden.
Had salmon eggs Benedict- amaze.
The tomato bisque was outstanding.
Lesley was our server and was attentive, friendly and accommodating!
Already made reservations for next Sunday.

We sat outside where it was quiet! Noise was not an issue but the mosquitos were.
My only suggestion would be overhead fans and citronella candles.
Otherwise everything was perfect

Good food, fair prices. And the waitress did not rush us.

I was disappointed the bonmei sandwich I had once before and was delicious wasn't on the menu.
I ordered the fried fish sandwich. The fish was overcooked. The bread (only ate the bottom slice) was saturated in oil. I would have preferred coleslaw or a side salad instead of more fried french fries.

What a wonderful improvement to the old Norton! This was our first visit since the extensive renovations by Foster. This is now a museum one can spend a day enjoying with the additional bonus of a fabulous restaurant to round out the experience. The inside dining space is a bit noisy due to the hard surfaces, however the modern clean environment is lovely. We were there on a hot summer day and some brave souls were enjoying the outdoor seating area. In season during more favorable weather that will be a great alternative seating arrangement. Thank you Norton and the design staff of Foster for creating such a nice addition to West Palm Beach!

Everything about The Restaurant at The Norton makes for a perfect meal or nosh! The expanded menu offers delicious choices for all palates. A must do!

Loved everything about it! Food was fresh and delicious, wait staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. Will be back!

Went to museum, fantastic, & had heard food was great at the restaurant. We tried & it was excellent all around - food, service, ambiance.

I thought the menu looked interesting but was so surprised at just how fabulous everything tasted. We went for lunch this past Saturday with friends who were visiting from Miami. Everyone loved their meals. We ordered the mushroom and Brie toast and needed to order a second one. The same with the Caesar salad with fried capers. Our friend ordered the Salmon with quinoa, edamame and cashews that was a perfect blend of flavors. I’m definitely getting next time! And my husband had a special that had pork belly and eggs on a baguette. Can’t wait to go back!

Love the new look and feel of The restaurant, food was good. Food service a little slow.

Beautiful setting and great drinks. Small portion sizes for the price. Food was good but pricey for what you get.

This resturant was quite costly for what it offered. Though the food was tasty, we have eaten at many other places that had great food and was more affordable. The service was excellent. The ambiance was nice, as the resturant is airy, modern and you could see out to the gardens where the art sculptures were, so if you are into art you would enjoy that aspect. We walked through the museum after our dinner and viewed all the art which was also cool. Overall it was nice for our date night.

Very attentive service. Ate in the patio which is in the court. Lovely ambiance and delicious food

Fantastic Surprise.

The services was on a par with the old restaurant, excellent. The old setting had a warmer feel to it. I liked my quiche, but about 1/3 of the crust was missing.

Will be going again in the near future with other friends. Enjoyed the food. Looking forward to cooler weather in order to eat outside and enjoy the garden.

After my second visit to the Norton since its re-opening in February, I treated my sister, who was visiting from Virginia, to lunch for her birthday. The restaurant offers a beautiful view of the green space and is nicely furnished; however, the noise level was very loud. There is nothing "soft" in the restaurant to absorb the noise. We would have preferred to eat outside; however, it was a very hot and humid day. We had the Fried Mahi Sandwich with Fresh Cut Fries, which was delicious. The service was very slow that day and we had to wait quite a while to place our order and for it to arrive.

I'd recommend and inform them of the cost $$$. We had to wait well over 30 min. More like 45 min! The least the management could've offered, as they apologized for the wait, was a complimentary drink. First time at the restaurant and most likely will not be back for a while.

Menu needs more variety in salad choices.

The food is delectable, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the prices are fair. The service is also impeccable. We have eaten there twice and can't wait for next time. Highly recommended.

Up charge for bread and butter not appreciated in expensive dining
Appetizers and mains brought out at the same time
Would not fine here again

Music a little too loud. Food mediocre. Service excellent! Loved the video.
