Norman at the Skyview Los Alamos

What a sweet place in an unexpected location. We had a wonderful dinner and wandered about, saw the nice pool area and generally felt really good about the place. We'll be back

I would like to say that I have eaten here many times before. The food was always great. But today, not so. I almost asked if they had a different cook. If the manager or owner of Norman's read this, please get a better cook, and better food. Currently, just mediocre.

We were staying on the property and decided to try the restaurant. The restaurant is well decorate and had a fun and inviting vibe. The service was wonderful and our food was amazing. I had the steak and my husband had the salmon. We had the chefs special for dessert (a pizookie with Carmel ice cream) and even got a second one because it was so good. We will definitely dine here again!

Was really looking forward to this meal as my sister has eaten here before.

Appetizers were excellent. Half baguette was warm, and compote was great. The charcuterie platter was fresh and abundant.

Dinner was disappointing on so many levels.

I ordered the wagyu beef burger with fries and avocado. The waiter asked if I wanted bacon, and two of us answered, "No, just avocado. " What came was just bacon. Had to ask for avocado and then was charged for bacon I didn't ask for.

Sister had steak dinner with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. What she got was a steak, with cold mashed potatoes and (literally) charred black broccoli florettes. She mentioned this to the waiter, and he agreed that the order was wrong. He returned 10 minutes later with plain, unroasted (microwaved?) asparagus with no seasoning and less flavor. The potatoes were still cold.

My wife ordered the pork chop, which was wonderful, but again, her sweet potatoes were cold.

I regularly pay 200.00 for dinner and if I get a 200.00 meal, then I have no problem paying. If I feel I've gotten my monies worth, I've often tipped a hundred bucks on that occasion. Tonight was not that.

Feel bad for my sister as she had talked Norman's up all day, only to be left disappointed.

Unfortunately I won't be giving it a second chance.

Delightful staff curate an intimate, romantic dinner for two. The midweek atmosphere perfect for our anniversary.

Fine dining with a great view in a historic location. Great service and friendly atmosphere.

This is such a cute place with an incredible view. I just moved to the area and came with some visiting family. We had a blast sitting by the pool, taking in the view, and enjoying the berry and burrata salad (among other things). I will be back.

In town for the first time we decided to try Skyview and heard it may require a reservation so we booked one online only to have it decline. We went there anyway to see if it was open and it was. A nice old group of ppl were eating and the bar, looking fully stocked, was beautiful too. They were prepping for a party and so we were given a happy hour menu. I came for the Avocado toast but it wasn't on the menu. Instead, a ton of things not in my dietary plan were listed. Never got to try the food. Parking was a bit unclear as well so, expect a 50% chance Skyview is a burnt mission.

Great food with high-quality and fresh ingredients. Outside patio provides a pleasant atmosphere. One of the many gems the Los Alamos culinary scene has to offer.

My friend and I went there to have a drink and we didn’t get any service. The bar was full the waitress ignored us won’t be going back there
Customer service was not the greatest.

Mediocre food. We got the steak and salmon. Added shrimp to the steak which was $12. The steak barely have any seasoning. The shrimp is the worst, it taste like someone just heat it up. No salt, no seasoning, no flavor at all. The salmon was cooked well, but the rest of the sides around it taste like a whole different dish. Everything is just bland. The only thing that’s good were the drinks from the bar.

My partner had called ahead to ask the staff if they have bday candles for dessert. They confirmed they have it, but on the day, they served the dessert with a normal fat candle. The server apologized for not having a bday candle, so they sub with that one. By the time the server served the dessert, the candle had melted all over the dessert…

It is a convenient place to have food if you stay at the motel, but I would recommend going somewhere else in the town. There are better places to eat with the price you pay.

My wife and I finally took our sister and boyfriends advice to not only stay at The SkyView Motel, but to eat at Norman's. What a beautiful dining experience. Dinner was outstanding as well as breakfast. Our servers Zack and Ava went above and beyond. Locally sourced food, great ambience, great place to stay and great customer service. What more could you ask for. We live in Florida so can't say when we will come back, but we will, one way or the other.
Highly recommended!

Wish you could separate experiences when reviewing. We had dinner here not too long ago. This morning I ordered the croissant sandwich, which came on a bread that was not a croissant. The cheese is not smoked and the aoili is a fancy way of saying mayonnaise. Probably Hellman's or lower quality, from the taste. $22 breakfast sandwich with $3 tip. Not an ideal situation. The bread was toasted, which is a plus, but overall not too happy with thos choice. Jake, who took my order, was very polite and kind. Much appreciated in a world of poor hospitality and service. Needs some work, but I'm interesting in trying the breakfast burrito and the chilquiles. Like before stated, we had a good dinner some time back, but the quality of the food (for the PQR) needs some work.

This restaurant is attached to the Skyview hotel (which in itself is a cozy, retro, fun place to stay). We came in late and decided to give it a try and it was awesome. Great food, perfectly made cocktails, and wonderful service. Highly recommend!

First time here. Playing was drab, but tasteful and very homey. Bridgett, our server, was one of the best we've had in a long, long time. Patient, not rushy, accommodating and cheerful. Host was a little dismissive, but kind, nonetheless. Ordered of slew of beverages and menu items. Mac and cheese could have used a bit more sauce, and flavors. Perhaps seasoning? Also the cheese could have been melted better. The cornbread was fire! Probably the best I've had, with wagyu talo. Sort of sick of the hot honey phase, but this hit. The maldon was the percent touch. Spicy, salty, sweet and fatty. Hit all the buttons. Sous vide confit duck was brilliant. Again, very high up on the best ever list. Could have been a little hotter. Cauliflower needed some pizazz. Pretty plain. (Oh, also Mac and cheese could've had more chorizo, although the flavor was bangin!) Prawn risotto was great! Prawns were not over cooked, which is typical. Good consistency and beautiful acidity. The absolute best thing was the turnip soup. Curry, I believe it was. Soft potatoes for some chew, but very nice consistency. Easily one of the best soups I've had. Different, yet familiar. We'll definitely be back. When the line at Flatbread is too long and you don't feel like paying for an overpriced, bought Michelin dinner, come here.

Beautiful property off the beaten path of Los Alamos. Service was good but food was overall just ok. They would prefer you park a hundred yards or so at the bottom of the hill and walk up to the restaurant, but I ignored the "hotel guests only being this point" sign. You should too. Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich was good but the fries were cold and stale. Beet and burrata salad was good if unremarkable. New batch of hot fries were as good as frozen unseasoned fries get. Kind of an unsure mix of hip and southwestern diner decor with some interesting art inside. They also have outside dining by the pool with a view. It's a cool relaxing place and I'm sure we'll give it another chance.

Zach was absolutely amazing! We have had iffy service in the past but he redeemed our entire experience! Friendly, witty and extremely competent! Worth way more than 5 stars!

Had a fantastic dinner experience at Norman. My girlfriend and I stayed at the Skyview property and didn’t want to venture out again after a long day of wine tasting so we decided to try the restaurant attached to our hotel and it was such a great decision.

Starting off with the yellowfin crisps, the freshness of all the ingredients were perfect. You can really taste all the different flavors from the fish to the Japanese slaw to the soy glaze. Everything sat on crispy, airy, fried won tons. Great appetizer to start the meal off with.

Kept it simple and ordered the Bates Burger and that exceeded my expectations as well. The American wagyu beef was so tender and juicy. The caramelized onions were done perfectly, and the creamy garlic aioli was the perfect extra layer to this phenomenal burger.

For dessert we ordered the cookie skillet which was on special that night. Very warm cookie with firm edges and very soft and melty inside with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was the perfect way to finish off our meal.

Will absolutely come back to eat here again in the future. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.
