Cute space, but come on! $4 for bad coffee??!! The food was decent, but really overpriced. What we need in NYC is a good ole' International House of Pancakes (aka IHOP). Until...

Nice treat for yourself once in a while 7/31/2002

This is a nice treat for yourself. The food was pretty good. The only thing was that the Eggs Benedict i had, the asparagus was overcooked. My friend had the lobster/asparagus omelette, and the asparagus and lobster was overcooked also. Cons: Pricey more

Good way to start your day! 7/30/2002

Breakfast at Norma's is the way to go if you want to have a great start to your day or to close a deal. With great food, ambiance and service, it sets a positive atmosphere for business as well as pleasure. Love their Caramel French Toast! Free smoothies to start and strong coffee. It is NYC's best kept secret! Pros: good food, great ambiance, creative presentation Cons: long wait, not cheap more

Terrific food and calming atmosphere 7/24/2002

I've been there about 10 times (all for weekday lunch), and never had a disappointing meal. The menu is sort of varied, which makes it interesting. Excellent lemon pancakes and crunchy French toast with real maple syrup, and very fluffy omelettes. Haven't tried their salads or burgers yet, although they look huge. Samples of their great smoothies is a nice beginning touch to the meal. I love this place!! If they only took weekend reservations, it would be even better. Pros: excellent food, soothing atmosphere Cons: long wait on weekends more

WazZa WOW 7/23/2002

This is the greatest breakfast place ever! The waiter talked me into getting a Wazza. He said if I was disappointed that I didn't have to pay! Who could ever be disappointed? This dish was amazing. The restaurant is number one for me. The managers were great - they let me take home the leftovers - the room is very comfortable (you don't sit right on top of the next table) and the music is a trip down memory lane for everyone. I am going back next week with my family so they can taste the WazZa - but really because I want to try the chocolate french toast!! more

French Toast Heaven 7/23/2002

OK, I've had french toast before, but they have the best. Chocolate French Toast with berries and chocolate sauce. Perfect chocoholic's fix! It's pretty pricy, but service is top of the line, and one meal there will last you all day! more

SIMPLY THE BEST 7/23/2002

Astonishing. The food and the service are both top-notch. The room is absolutely gorgeous. The music is subtle and sublime. This is by far the most exquisite and eclectic breakfast menu anywhere. If you don't treat yourself to this at least twice a week, you are truly missing out!!! Pros: Brightly Lit, Excellent Service, Best Food Ever Cons: Crowds on Sundays, Not open for Dinner, Does not Deliver more

NOT REALLY KID-FRIENDLY 6/21/2002

There is NO kid menu and I don't know too many parents who want to pay $4 for a glass of milk or $7 for orange juice--fresh squeezed or not. The food was tasty but most families with children ages 3-10 would do better elsewhere. $14 for a plain waffle and fruit is just a little steep. This is NOT the place for families watching their vacation budget. A local diner would have been a better choice. Note: I was told that at Norma's kid-friendly means that they allow children to dine there. They do have crayons and coloring placemats but that is the extent of their kid-friendliness. Pros: Convenient Location, Friendly staff Cons: EXPENSIVE, NOT KID-FRIENDLY more

Excellent! 6/2/2002

Brunch at Norma's was just lovely! Though we did have to wait about 30 minutes, it was worth it. They started the meal with a complimentary shot of their fruit smoothie of the day, then brought us each our own french press of coffee. The meals were delicious - french toast with foie gras was decadent, corned beef hash was a salty delight and eggs benedict was good as well. There were at least 20 options on the menu that looked good to me. It is a bit pricey but worth it! more

Best Breakfast in Town 5/27/2002

Looking for a great breakfast spot? You'd be hard-pressed to find a better place than Norma's. French press coffee, unlimited refills on OJ, and the best Belegian waffle (topped with creme brulee) in the city. Expect a long wait on the weekends, but it is well worth it to tough it out. Also be sure to get there early as they close at 3pm. The prices are a little steep, but you will be so delighted by the food that you won't care that you just plopped down $40 on breakfast. more

The Best Breakfast in Manhattan 5/21/2002

I've been to Norma's several times now, and between the dishes I order and the dishes of my companions that I sample, I've tried around 10 of their dishes. And they are all amazing! My favourites are the Wazah (crispy waffles with fruit and a brulee topping), the Very Berry Brioche French Toast, the Red Berry ""Risotto"" (oatmeal), and the Lobster and Asparagus omlette. Weekend brunch is very busy, but I've never waited more than 20 minutes. When I've gone during the week, I've never waited for a table. The service has been consistently good- they always seem to know what you need and when. I hope this place stays around for a long time! Pros: dishes are perfect, service Cons: short wait on weekend more
