Reviews for Normandie Farm Restaurant in Potomac, MD
Normandie Farm is closing forever in 4 days so this review is for posterity. Dishes are as country french as it gets. Gazpacho... had a hint of spice but was a little oily. Wedge and endive salads were great, if lightly dressed. Veal Oscar was very goodbut between crab imperial and mashed potatoes, it's a heavy dish. Friendly staff. Table service to the patio was pretty good.Quick to take orders and deliver food, a little slower at the end of the meal. Read more
I did not like the food, very pricy and not very tasty. Oh I have not found a good France or Italian restaurant
Decided a treat was in order due to a special occasion. I was in Potomac and decided to try this french restaurant that had... caught my eye a few times in passing by. Old but quaint and cozy. Wholesome food and quite a pleasant dining experience. Plan totry out more dishes on another special occasion. Read more
Loved it! The traditional French decor with fireplace( we were fortunate enough to be seated right next to it) and wonderful... service made us feel as if we had traveled to France. The authentic popovers are AMAZING!!!! So flaky inside! There was no wayto eat it gracefully and not make a big mess.???? We chose the house smoked salmon as our hors d'oeuvre as that is not offeredon too many menus.Will definitely do so again.The beef wellington was lovely, tender, and delicious!! As was thebouillabaise-another item found on few menus. Hearty and delicious with a generous amount of seafood- a couple of jumbo shrimp,half dozen mussels, 2 large clams, nice chunks of fish and tasty broth. Dessert didn't disappoint either. Pumpkin cheesecakewith caramel glaze and lots of walnuts. YUMMY! Recommend to get it while in season. Will most definitely return again- hope todo so in December to experience the holiday menu.

Old school French place. Salads for lunch were all solid, although were served with a very small side cup of relatively simple,... not complex, but reasonably tasty dressings. If the salads were tossed or just a bit more spiced they would be top notch. Thelobster tail on the salad was prepared above average, as was the ahi tuna. Salad toppings were all great. The popovers wereabsolutely fantastic! Service was pretty good “old school” style. Read more
A very nice setting French style seafood restaurant. It is a plain-looking house off Falls Road. The inside looks elegant and... classic. The waiters who served us is well-trained and humorous. He recommended Maryland Blue Crab Soup, which is today’schef special. It tastes really good! Big lumps of crab meat at the bottom of soup. Crab cake is very tasty but not salty, justlike what I expected. However, the fries is even better! I even think the fries is the highlight of this entree. The other twoentrees my friends ordered, roasted sea scallops and seared filet of salmon, my friends said both of them are 4.5 out 5. Highlyrecommended. Very good experience! Read more
A place most everyone still dresses up in suits and heels to go to dinner & drinks. Popovers, with raspberry spread and whipped... butter, the best part of the meal. Lots of seafood options, as well as French style entrees. They have Sunday buffet and rsvpholiday dinners. The place still feels and looks the same of 30 years ago. The lounge is classic with live music and a smalldance floor with weekly weekend entertainment. The crowds are mature and everyone is friendly in this reserved atmosphere. Read more
Such sad news about the closing. My husband and I went to Normandy Farm to celebrate special occasions. We will miss the food,... the delicious popovers, and the excellent service. Read more
