The Restaurant at the Norton Announces New Fall Menu by Constellation Culinary Group
The Restaurant at the Norton, the premier dining destination inside West Palm Beach’s Norton Museum of Art, has debuted a new menu. Operated by the experts at Constellation Culinary Group, The Restaurant offers light, modern American fare with nods to coastal influence complemented by scenic garden views and a casual setting. The new seasonal menu is now available, timed to align with the opening of the Museum’s latest exhibition, Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing, on view through March 9, 2025.
The exhibition presents a critical look at boxing through a variety of artistic media, featuring over 100 artworks from the late 19th century to the present. The title is culled from a poem by Gabriele Tinti, offering a rhythmed oration from the imagined perspective of the ancient Greek sculpture Seated Boxer.
The dinner menu starts with small plates, such as the Thai Crab Bisque ($15) with Florida blue crab, coconut, cilantro, and confit sweet potato; Stone Fruit and Burrata ($21), served with peach, apricot, croissant croutons, lavender honey, and pickled grape; and Venetian Carpaccio ($24), featuring orange, black olive, tonnato, bay leaf, and tomato. Other notable plates include Day Boat Scallop Crudo ($18), with bay scallop, Persian lime, turmeric, kumquat, and pomegranate molasses; Spanish Octopus ($26), featuring Manzanilla olives, piquillo pepper, and bresaola; and Queso Frito ($17), with mango, guava, jerk spice, and dragon fruit.
The soups and salads selection includes the Green Goddess Salad ($18), with local greens, tomato, avocado, cucumber, Mermaid Farm feta, fennel, and toasted hemp seed; Contemporary Chopped Salad ($18), featuring asparagus, grilled sweet pepper, Manchego, giganteus sunflower seeds, and sun-dried tomato vinaigrette; and Gem Caesar Salad ($18), with little gem lettuce, buttery croutons, aged pecorino, and crispy capers.
Large plates include the GO’K Burger ($26), inspired by a piece by artist, Georgia O’Keeffe, with mushrooms from Gratitude Farms, bone marrow butter, crispy enoki, sweet agrodolce, Midnight Moon Gouda, and dry-aged tallow fries; Salmon ($36), featuring avocado, coconut ceviche, heart of palm, tapioca pearls, Fresno chilies, and citrus; Rock Shrimp Cavatelli ($24), with tomato, preserved lemon, caramelized fennel, Calabrian chili, and breadcrumbs; Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi ($41), with sea urchin mayo, Sichuan peppercorn, citrus, smoked shoyu, and bonita beurre blanc; Pork Milanese ($32), with field pea risotto, baby mustard greens, confit sweet potato, and country prosciutto; and Petite Tenderloin ($36), with peach, lemon verbena chimichurri, Camembert dulce, crispy potato, and blackberry demi-glace.
For dessert, guests can indulge in Tres Leches ($12), with rum, berry compote, and whipped cream and White Chocolate Pot De Crème ($12), featuring toasted pistachios and raspberry. Other sweet treats include the Cookie Plate ($12), with sourdough cookie crackle, lemon poppyseed, and pinwheel rugelach. Seasonal Ice Cream and Sorbet ($10) are also available.
The new lunch menu is equally exciting, featuring contemporary dishes such as Yellowfin Pan Bagnat ($23), featuring niçoise tapenade, roasted tomato, avocado, sprouts, garlic Dijon aioli, crispy capers, and cured egg yolk; Spanish Garden Sandwich ($23), with asparagus, shishito, roasted sweet peppers, Cana de Cabra goat cheese, and sunflower romesco on ciabatta.

Founded in 1941 by Ralph Hubbard Norton and his wife, Elizabeth Calhoun Norton, the Museum collects, preserves, and exhibits art, and engages visitors through exhibitions, events and live entertainment featuring local musicians and performance artists.
