Norman's Bistro

So if Norman is the head of the Bistro than Chef Robert is the heart, and the two work really well together.

Norman himself is a staunch business man and real estate tycoon of exquisite taste.  Everything he does is methodical, organized, and well thought-out;  in fact, his Kenwood   neighbors who have watched his empire grow describe him as being "shrewd".  When you visit the Bistro you will know him by this upright posture and pristine attire.  While you are eating you will notice the ambiance of the restaurant which has Norman's name written all over it.  Maple wood floors throughout the 3,000 square foot bistro provide for seating arrangements spacious enough for private conversations.  Art from all corners of the world grace the walls.  The music playing is an eclectic mixture of yesterdays jams and today's soul, while at a volume that is romantic.  Everything is in it's place, and the overall image fulfills your expectations of an upscale bistro..

The food  is far less linear, no matter what kind of food you like there is a pleasant surprise awaiting on the menu.  With appetizers like the Asian wings sprinkled with chopped bacon, and the ocean cakes that combine shrimp, lobster, and scallops with a wasabi sauce you will know that the main course won't let you down;  and, it doesn't.  Everything from the Chicken pot pie loaded with crisp fresh vegetables to the Gumbo with a large medallion shrimp in every forkful is pleasantly filling and delicious.  While, I am a meat eater, I even enjoy his vegetarian dish featuring a sweat potato smothered with cinnamon, spices and a hint of brown sugar.  The meats have been marinated and are flavorful, the vegetables are crisp and not over cooked, and the seasonings are mild , but playful;  so,  simply put - the man can cook.

And this is why I am delighted to announce that you will be able to enjoy a bridal tasting of Norman's Bistro in the Loft of Lake on August 7th when we gather for the sneak preview of Atha Sharod Bridal's forth coming collection of bridal gowns and negligees, "The White Collection - LUXE".  So, get your palettes ready because I'm sure it will be tasty.  Thank you Norman for showing up for my BIG DAY.  To RSVP for this event please call (773) 285-1178.
