Norma's - Palm Springs

Not only was this the worst meal I’ve ever had in Palm Springs, it was probably the worst meal I’ve had in years. First, you make a reservation through an app, which costs $30. This is fine and something I’m used to, but I have always seen this go towards the bill, at this restaurant it does not. We ordered the tuna burger, which had a pretty grandiose description for something that was ultimately unseasoned canned Tuna on a soggy bun with zero other toppings or sauces. Not once were we asked how our food was. Even when the manager took away the burger with two bites taken out, he didn’t inquire whether we enjoyed our food. It was only after I had decided that this wasn’t even worth taking to give to the local street dogs that the server took it off the bill. This was 1hour and 45minutes after we had arrived and about the 3rd time we had seen him. My girlfriends drink was taken away when it was about half full as our food arrived, and the server never came around again to ask if she wanted another. I remember this place being excellent, but with bland food and brutal service this was about as close to a 0/10 as you can get.

This was my first time at The Parker/ at the food of Norma. If you love Mid-Century Modern/Design, it is definitely a must-see. We parked road outside the hotel and went on Monday at 3 p.m. We were told that a reservation was required and could quickly make an open table while standing outside. The outdoor terrace is stunning. I loved it!!! The presentation of the food is so sweet, the menu is retro, just out of crazy men. I would like to come back to breakfast or maybe even stay in The Parker!! Service was also great.

One of the best places I was in Palm Springs! The ambience, service, decor, food was all top notch and 100% worth it. The smoothie shots when we sat down were such a nice touch! Ask Queensadilla to think Kissenige scrambled eggs, Guac and Speck. The portions are big! Can wait to come back.

Norma is a must for Sunday brunch. Outdoor seating on the terrace, under the cover on sunny days in the desert. The portions are plentiful and the staff is amazing. They are really attentive that makes the experience more pleasant. The drinks are made with love and there are usually some famous cocktails to help you get away from the mouth.

Best Donuts I ever had another meal. The disadvantage is if you are not a guest, the parking service is $12 and you cannot visit the rest of the hotel.
