To put it simply, we sought to use the best tool available to deliver the wealth of content that we have to offer online. For example,
we have an image gallery with over three years worth of Chef Norman's tasting menus, special events, charity dinners and so much
more, available to browse (and download) for free.
Chef Van Aken's reputation has been marked by innovation and a willingness to stretch beyond the boundaries of the everyday
and the ordinary. We seek to use the most appropriate technology available to showcase his innovative reputation.
True, there are an unfortunate number of websites out there that are full of irritating "Flash" fluff-- with big dramatic opening
sequences
and floating graphics and soaring music that accomplishes nothing by the end of it all. Normans.com moves far
beyond the
destructive misuse of Flash and provides our visitors with a simple, clean, and interactive landscape of Chef Norman Van Aken's culinary world.
Some people may not be able to visit his restaurants; but with streaming videos, they can step into his kitchen watch him prepare Roast Pork
Havana with Black Bean Salsa; or, they can watch a warm Florida winter day unfold at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival.
For guests that are coming to the restaurant, they can create their own personal dining profile and make reservations that will not only
immediately show up in our reservation system, but allow them the convenience of confirming their reservation via email.
The details concerning our guest’s reservations are very important to us; and empowering our customers with a tool that will let them
communicate their needs to us from the comfort of their computer, on their own terms, in a quick and easy to use manner, is a feature that
simply does not exist in the culinary world. You can login to normans.com and put your anniversary, birthday, allergies, table preference,
server preference, etc, etc, into your own personal profile, and every time you make a reservation at normans.com for any of our restaurants,
we will know exactly who you are and what your needs are-- and all you had to do was type in a username and password and select the location you wished to dine at.
All the best,
The team at normans.com
