We loved our breakfast at Norma’s. Everything we ate was delicious, the service was great, and the vibe at the Parker Hotel is really cool. Great aesthetic!

The worst service and wait I have ever experienced while dining. The manager was rude about the fact that it took over an hour to get one thing and we had to call over at least 3 different staff members just to help us get water. Absolutely insane- can’t recommend even for the vibes and food.

Fun atmosphere with trendy interesting dishes. Service was first class and we chose to eat inside versus the nice area outside in the heat.

Five days at the Parker, five days of fabulous breakfasts and superb service. Food is divinely decadent, if you like that sort of thing (we did!). Though of course healthy options are available, we splashed out for all the deliciousness a birthday vacation calls for. Service? All around the Parker: Unfailingly kind and accomodating, friendly, and helpful. At Norma’s, calling out Laura in particular for the most thoughtful touches, and extremely personable demeanor—and her colleagues also deserve a shout out. Well done, Norma’s. Well done, Laura.

Located in the Parker Palm Springs hotel, Norma’s is a Palm Springs establishment everyone should visit. If the weather permits, definitely sit outside in their colorful, covered patio. The staff are attentive, friendly, and welcoming who can help decipher the menu. I say decipher in the best way possible because Normas menu is one of the BEST menus I’ve ever seen. The names are clever, the preparations thoughtful, and the presentation’s exceptional. They start you off with the smoothie “shot” of the day, which was strawberry banana and orange juice. We then ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the crab cake “pancakes”. The sandwich was large and the fries FANTASTIC (super crispy yet meaty). The two crab cakes were flattened but large and delicious. They come with an aggressively dressed mixed green salad with white balsamic and a single beer battered onion ring that is filled with a dill tartar sauce/aioli. Highly recommend eating the onion ring first otherwise it gets soggy and if you’re not a heavy-dressed salad person, then ask for lighter dressing or on the side. Otherwise, fantastic and flavorful dish. Order a glass of their rosé and you’ll have it poured out of a double magnum bottle. Or a Diet Coke and you’ll have a personal carafe on the side. Awesome spot. Bring a group so you can try a bunch of different awesome dishes and just have a good time. Can’t wait to come back.

VANESSA… maybe the best breakfast service we’ve ever had. Thank you for making our morning so bright. The food is good… the service is best in the business.
While all the staff was great at Normas including our server (I’m blanking on her name right now, but she took care of us pretty much our entire stay and was wonderful) there was one evening in particular that really left a memorable impression. My sisters, my two boys and I were staying at Parker for 4 nights, to be honest, it started off kind of rocky and I was regretting choosing Parker as our annual Palm Springs Summer Trip location this year. The experience did improve but what really made us change our minds was one particular evening that I was spending around the hotel grounds with my two toddler boys, we wandered into the lobby area for an evening treat and Jacob and Alandra were there with warm, welcoming smiles. We ordered a milkshake per Jacob’s great recommendation and waited in the lobby. Alandra brought the boys Dino stickers and made their night. Jacob brought us our shake, and made us feel so taken care of. It was something small but their thoughtful and attentive behavior really left an impression. Thank you Jacob and Alandra!

We had this placed saved for the Palm Springs trip! It was a great idea to come here - We sat outside (it was earlier in the day - so it was still not crazy hot) it was a very calm and relaxing vibes Server: Vanessa - she was incredible 😘🤌🏼 very polite and great demeanor. Drinks off the menu: • the joy at the parker - raspberry infused vodka with grapefruit flavor. That was so good! Worth the try • weekend at the parker - it’s as if an aperol spritz and a margarita had a baby (my friend ordered it and loved it) Based on the recommendation of one of the employees- we decided to try the burgers 🍔 and that an excellent choice! I think i was full for the rest of that day! I added grilled onions and avocado on mine with fries. The burgers are supposedly made in house and the quality is amazing! Cooked medium for a perfect slight redness in the center and the everything else loaded on top with a fresh and soft bun. Super Yum! 😋 Definitely on my top 5 burgers ever… - Everything was incredible. Thank you for great service and even better food! Job well done 😘👌🏼

To be honest all members of Norma’s have been so accommodating and attentive, but specifically Al, Palvi and Brandon. So lovely and kind. Al will make you feel like you’ve known him for years :0) We stayed for a week and had breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food was so decadent and beyond anything I’d make at home. Their new Butter Chicken?! Please! So good! Fresh croissants?! House made jams, jelly’s and creams, OH MY. We can’t wait to come back.
