Normandy Kitchen 405 South 8th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55404

"Service was excellent. It is a beautiful place aesthetic. The Hanger steak is pretty salty on the outside. Otherwise the potatoes seemed drenched in wine. Edible but wasn't my favorite. Was told by the front desk to go with a burger but wanted to try something new."

"This is by far my favorite restaurant. It has a wide fare of wonderfully prepared, decadent culinary dishes. I will admit that one of my main reasons for my initial admiration for this restaurant had to do with the pommes frites accompagnement of sauce Béarnaise. This, sadly, has faded away, but the steak au poivre vert, the pork, the Henry VIII burger, the meatloaf, the sensational soupes du jour, and all the rest of the delectable repasts are well worth your attention. I will be bit critical of tonight's fare, the wild rice risotto served with sweet potato croquette, roasted kalette and grape, crème fraîche, and fresh Parmigiano Reggano. While the croquette does melt in the mouth, and the kalette and grape truly add to the flavour, the dearth of mushroom is a setback. I actually requested a separate order of sauteed mushrooms to supplement the dish. Nonetheless, I still love this wonderful locale. Good beers, a wonderful bottled French cider, and a plethora of fine wines add to the overall plaisir gourmandise! Enjoy!"

"We stayed at the Normandy so we came here for breakfast every morning and dinner a few times. The service is very friendly and fast and the food was always very good."

"Another restaurant that we've been saying we want to visit... we were not disappointed. Rotisserie chicken with polenta and Brussels sprouts and also the Walleye with mushroom risotto -- everything was seasoned well. The decor in the dining room was very cozy, good background music. We'll be back again to try other options!"

"Ambience is beautiful. Service exceptional. Food was okay. It’s on the lower end from other French restaurants I have tried. That’s not to say that the food was bad. It was good enough for a decent meal but certainly not exceptional. No char marks on the cheese for my onion soup. Popover was a bit soggy in certain spots. Niçoise salad was refreshing but lacking a bit in flavor. No fishy tuna smell so I appreciated that. Pork tenderloin not as tender as we had hoped and certainly not enough depth of flavor from the red wine. Bone marrow was delicious and perfectly seasoned though I thought it a bit strange to have radish on it. One of the ends was bloody so I avoided eating that part. Street parking is available though certain parts are limited due to time restrictions."
