Norman at the Skyview Los Alamos

Had an absolutely amazing lunch with my wife. Such a beautiful place located in Los alomos right off the freeway. Outdoor seating has incredible mountain views. Great hosts, DELICIOUS FOOD.

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.

The Norman is an amazing place to stop in your way up or down the coast. The menu is small but don't fret because it just means that the chef pays that much more attention to what comes out of the kitchen. The burger is delicious and has all the right toppings (do not skip the homemade ranch with your fries). The chicken is tender and comes with the best squash based sauce. The cocktails were not just cleverly named drinks that you can get from anywhere, but we're instead unique, well crafted and delicious. That just leaves the ambiance, which is beautiful reimagining of a high end '50s motel. Its worth the trip.

The food was extremely delicious. My friend ordered the chicken achiote dinner plate and I ordered the Patty Pan Squash. The half baguette for an appetizer. The bread was perfectly crispy just like crusty bread should be. The main entree was fantastic. The chicken flavor was spot on and unbelievably tender. My veggies were cooked just right and had a great flavor. The food is a definite must try

So we've dined at numerous high end restaurants and I'll have to say this hidden gem is amazing!! Some restaurants have amazing service, some have food that looks as great as it taste. Chef Dustin Badenell, our Server Abel and the rest of the staff have it all covered from start to finish. From drinks to starters to entrees and definitely don't forget dessert it was the most amazing meal we have had out in quite some time. It is absolutely on our list to visit again, soon!Also my wife is vegan and she was just as delighted with the choices and options they had for her as well.Thank You Chef Dustin and staff for a wonderful birthday dinner for my wife.

Was never a huge fan of this restaurant…till discovered Taco Tuesday with Zach tending bar. He always makes us feel welcome. Mixes a great cocktail. And creates an atmosphere that keeps us coming back every week. As a local it’s nice having a friendly place where everyone knowns our name. Never leave Zach!!!

We have eaten at Norman’s twice. The food and cocktails have been great. Nice view of the valley when sitting at the bar.We had:Yellowfin Crisps as a starter, Japanese slaw, sesame ginger vinaigrette, furikake, soy mirin glaze, sriracha aioli.Grape and Candied Walnut Salad - spinach, radicchio, blue cheese, apple cider vinaigrette.Eastern Scallops - celeriac purée, grapefruit segments, beurre blanc, apple fennel slaw.All 3 of these dishes had excellent flavor.To finish off the dinner we had the Bread Pudding A La Mode.The ingredients on each dish paired together. Chef at Norman is very creative with the dishes.

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.
