- TThomasGoldOrange County •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoNormandie was last minute dinner decision and we were so lucky to get a reservation for our group of 6. What a treat it was for everything from hospitality, ambience and the most delicious meals we had for our entire 4day stay in Napa. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived until we left. Maggie is the most gracious host! She and her staff were amazing! They have captured the essence of fine dining……..It was truly a dining experience. The martinis are the best I’ve had. I had their scallop appetizer and Chilean Sea Bass main course simply delicious. I’m in Napa every year for the Jazz Festival and Normandie is now a pivotal part of my trip. You have not experience the best of Napa if you haven’t dinned at Normandie. Normandie was a last-minute dinner decision during our annual Napa Jazz Festival trip, and we were incredibly fortunate to secure a reservation for our group of six. What a remarkable experience it turned out to be. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt genuinely welcomed and appreciated. Maggie is the most gracious host/owner imaginable, and she, along with her outstanding staff, has truly captured the essence of fine dining. Every detail—from the warm hospitality and elegant ambiance to the impeccable service—was executed flawlessly. The food was simply exceptional. In fact, it was the best meal our group enjoyed during our entire four-day stay in Napa. I started with the scallop appetizer, which was perfectly prepared, and followed it with the Chilean Sea Bass—absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. And the martinis? Without question, some of the best I have ever had. their Blueberry martini II refreshing and easy to drink Normandie is much more than a restaurant; it is a true dining experience. The combination of extraordinary cuisine, attentive service, and inviting atmosphere makes it a standout destination. If you haven’t dined at Normandie, you simply haven’t experienced the very best Napa Valley.More infoNormandie$$$$• French• Napa•4.8
