When we first arrived we were seated by s bus boy that truly did not want to be there. Could have left the attitude outside. Once Avery came to our table, everything was up hill. Celebrated Father's day at the perfect place. Food was delicious as well as the presentation. Thank you

It was a wonderful lunch with a friend, my sister and my 90 y/o aunt. We split 2 sandwiches, 2gumbos, and 1 appetizer. Coffee and a dessert for all. Surprised bill was $175 for 4 ppl for lunch not including the tip. Not complaining, just surprised.

Food was good but the service was terrible. No one was at the entrance to greet or seat us. The hotel concierge finally came over and said he would go find someone to sit us. But then we waited another 10 minutes for a waiter. Food came fairly quickly but that was the last we saw of the waiter. We wanted refills of coffee and water, but no one came to check on us. We served ourselves. I had to go ask the front desk for someone to bring us the check.
Cafe Normandie at The HigginsResponded on June 7, 2024
Thank you for your feedback. While we're glad you enjoyed the food, we regret that the service did not meet expectations. We will address these issues with our team to ensure improvements are made. We hope to provide a more attentive dining experience in the future.
