My 3 course meal started with delicious creamy pumpkin soup, followed by shrimp stuffed shrimp with caribbean salsa rice and steamed vegetables and for dessert, cheesecake wrapped in a spring roll skin with black cherry rum sauce and vanilla ice cream. The entire meal was excellent but the star of the show was the shrimp. It was well seasoned and... More

While on a recent business trip I took a prospective client for dinner at Norma's on the Terrace.

The food was excellent - my filet steak was cooked to perfection and the white chocolate creme brule was amazing. The prices... More

Over the years I tried to eat here three times. They never had anything I ordered off the menu. Past reputation was high but it is now very 'hit and miss'.

Norma's has moved on since the death of its namesake, and it suffered a bit initially following her demise. One of the charms of Norma's was that she was always on hand every night to supervise the kitchen, the service and the satisfaction of her guests. However, the tradition has carried on, and the thoughtfully-prepared food is served on a... More

I took four friends here for dinner. I've been a few times over the years and found the atmosphere great but the food variable. This evening we had a mixed experience. Those of us who tried the signature dish of crab stuffed fish found it heaven. The soup and the wine that we had were excellent. But the men weren't... More

Norma died fairly recently but the new owners have kept up the tradition of interesting food in a lovely setting. In fact I think they have improved on perfection

Since Norma passed away. I'm sure the food was great once upon a time but when my husband and I ate there is was average. The service however was second to none. Excellent.
