What people say, in short
Supernormal attracts broad support for its Asian-fusion food, with lobster rolls repeatedly recommended and two commenters also naming the peanut parfait. Several regulars describe meals they enjoyed consistently. Others find it average, overhyped or underwhelming; one prefers Lucy Liu's food. Noise complaints include one report of loud music and another of a nearby toddler. The positive consensus does not mean every diner finds the experience worthwhile.
