Norma's Parker Palm Springs

This was my first visit to The Parker, specifically to dine at Norma's. If you have an appreciation for Mid-Century Modern design, this place is definitely worth a visit. We parked on the street outside the hotel and arrived on a Monday at 3 p.m. Upon arrival, we learned that a reservation was required, but we were able to quickly reserve a table while standing outside. The outdoor terrace is absolutely stunning, and I loved every moment spent there! The food presentation was delightful, and the menu has a retro vibe reminiscent of "Mad Men." I would love to return for breakfast or perhaps even stay at The Parker! The service was also excellent.

One of the best places I visited in Palm Springs! The ambiance, service, decor, and food were all excellent and absolutely worth it. The smoothie shots we received when we sat down were such a nice touch! I recommend trying the Queensadilla, along with the Kissenige scrambled eggs, guacamole, and speck. The portions are generous! I can't wait to come back.

Norma is a must-visit for Sunday brunch. The outdoor terrace seating is delightful, providing shade on sunny desert days. The portions are generous, and the staff is fantastic—exceptionally attentive, which enhances the overall experience. The drinks are crafted with care, and there's often a selection of signature cocktails to tantalize your taste buds.

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.

Norma's is an informal indoor/outdoor restaurant. The historic Parker Hotel has a fun decor but it is still a serene oasis. The food was good. Service was very accommodating. Valet parking was pricey at $12 when the property was quite empty.
