I went here for dinner with my husband and we had such a great time thanks to the server, the chef and the staff.
I am here celebrating my birthday and we wanted to have a nice dinner, we asked the lovely server, Isabela, if there was anything else vegan on the menu, she said she would ask the chef. The chef went out of his way to create a dish not on the menu for me due to my dietary restrictions. They were so happy to accommodate me.
We felt that the server went above and beyond for us!
The food was delicious! And it is also beautiful space. 10/10

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

We were staying at the hotel and just dropped in for drinks. As far as being a bar goes, Norman is very comfortable with indoor and outdoor seating. It is very convenient to the hotel pool. They have a full bar and interesting cocktail list. I had a Paloma and my wife had a gin martini. They were both well prepared and fairly priced. Our server was good. The patio was comfortable. Norman is out-of-the-way a bit, but we are glad we stopped in.

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.
