My husband and I enjoyed this destination breakfast spot. Within seconds of sitting down we had a large cold glass of fresh OJ and a french press pot of coffee on the table. It was pricey but we knew that when we sat down so be forewarned. Excellent service; very good food; more than we could eat. We will go... More

We got 2 recommendations from friends to go eat at Norma's for brunch so we decided to see what it was all about. Food was good but not worth the price! The portion was huge but still not worth the price. My French Toast was $23 but really worth half that price -- it is definitely over-rated...I can find the... More

Restaurant : Norma's is a mandatory brunch mecca fir visitors to new york. Why brunch? Because the portions are si big and yummy, you wo t be able to eat any lunch (or perhapsdinner) after this dinosaur meal. Ambience : Bright funky jazzy. Nice vibes. Plenty of energy. Plenty of upper east siders abound. They git tge vibes right. Service... More

I could go on and on, but will keep it short. Incredible breakfast. Incredible service (Joen). I had crunchy, brioche French toast; wife had buttermilk pancakes with peaches and pecans. THE BEST. My enthusiasm is tempered somewhat by the bill (including juice,coffee, and tip) exceeding $80.

Service was spotty, food portion was too big and so it was pricey. Feels like a coffee shop, extremely noisy during breakfast/brunch hours.

As good as we remembered. Egg dishes, pancakes, waffles ALL GOOD and huge. Something I forgot from our first time there - the OJ they offer you when you come in is not included with your meal and costs $8 a glass - not worth it in my book.

We highly recommend brunch at Norma's for your inner or actual twelve-year-old. The french toast is amazing to behold and super tasty (plus it includes ice cream and cheesecake). This is not a place you can afford (health-wise) to attempt on a daily or even weekly basis. But for when you can make exceptions, go for it. Definitely check out... More

Breakfast or brunch at Norma's is a family tradition that hasn't disappointed us over the years. We try to schedule time there when we visit NYC. This time, the food was delicious and the service was over the top. Our server felt that the kitchen was running a little slow so he brought not only the delicious shooters of daily... More

Book ahead or be willing to wait - but it is worth it! Have Turkish coffees in the lobby while you wait!
