Norma's Seafood & Steak

"Decent choice for a casual seafood meal in Seaside. Visited Norma's Seafood & Steak during our stay in town. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, fitting for a beach town. I tried the clam chowder, fried oyster appetizer, and fish and chips- all of which were decent. The chowder was creamy with an average portion of clams, though it could use a bit more seasoning. The fish and chips were tasty, but nothing extraordinary. Service was friendly but a tad slow. Prices are somewhat reasonable for the portions you get. Overall, Norma's is a solid choice if you're in the mood for seafood without any frills. A solid 3.5/5 experience.""

"Really good chowder, and solid fish and chips. Some good lunch specials that run until 4pm. Staff was great. Food was great. Convenient location as well."

"The atmosphere was classic. The service was on pointe. The bussers especially were very polite & have manners. They said "excuse me" any time they grabbed an empty plate. The server was polite, attentive, & sweet. The food was good. Though for the pricing, I would make a few slight changes to elevate the meals a little: Spicy Garlic Cheese Bread - was good & there was no shortage of cheese! Though maybe mixing the dry seasoning in with the butter spread would be better versus the dry seasoning on top of the cheese. The flavors were there, but texturally the dry rub was a little different on the bread. Side Salad - the greens were fresh & there is an option to have shrimp on it. Though without the shrimp you just have greens. Maybe add some tomato, crotons, and/or cucumber. Shrimp Fettuccini - was good & there was no shortage of sauce or shrimp! Though if the shrimp was grilled it would have tasted so much better. If this is an option then I missed it. Blue Cheese Burger - cooked perfectly to my partner's preference! Key Lime Pie - tall with no shortage of filling or whipped cream! Was so great! Drinks - beer was a perfect pour, not every place does that. They filled all the way to the top! Strawberry lemonade was tasty!"

"I am a pretty picky person, I've been told! That being said, this place is, by far, the best seafood restaurant I've ever been too. The shelled crab dinner and the seafood pasta is all I've tried but they were exceptionally good! Waitress was well informed and knew the menu like the back of her hand! Great prices too!"

"Reasonable prices. We enjoyed fresh oysters and a whole crab! It was delicious. The crab was a little well done for my preference but overall all great choice. My husband ordered the halibut which was also over cooked but well seasoned. Their menu is big so there are many options."
