"The addition of lobster in the gumbo at Norman’s helped establish it as one of the premier destinations in Bronzeville. It’s one of the fancier places in the area, making it a first date-night favorite. It doesn’t hurt that a little wine bar is carved into the rear of the restaurant. There, guests may order lighter bites or full entrees such as chipotle-cream pasta with grilled shrimp, Caribbean flame-grilled lamb, and jerk tilapia. Weekend brunch features classic Southern favorites that have been modernized such as the sweet potato pancakes." - Audarshia Townsend
