Fantastic experience. Beautiful setting and atmosphere. The food is top notch! Service is great. Only thing I could nit pick is they are way heavy on the ice with the mixed drinks. Definitely make the trip and enjoy a fantastic dinner!

We celebrated both a birthday and anniversary at Norman - and it was great - The waitstaff was personable and well trained. The food was very well prepared and tasty - proportions were good. My husband loved the burger..... I wanted to love the tuna crisps but they'd lacked flavor (but were pretty to look at). The goat cheese burrata was very good. The drinks were pricey. $9.00 for a beer is steep - $14.00 + for a cocktail drink that was quite small.... but we had a fabulous time and look forward to another visit. The ambiance was great - it's a beautifully curated space and did not disappoint.

What a unique experience being transported back in time to a roadside hotel that has been converted into a unique establishment. BTW the food in the restaurant was great.

I'm glad this was not our first time at Norman's or we would not be back. The lighting was bright and not moody like usual, the food was overcooked, not delivered as ordered, and not up to usual standards. We ordered the Chef's special for dessert which was the cookie with ice cream and it was basically raw cookie dough.

Norman's was a fun find in Los Alamos. We started with the Yellow Fin Crisps which was the highlight of our dinner. It is a MUST ORDER. For my entree,I ordered the Cavatelli Piccata with chicken which was delightful. I recommend this dish. My husband ordered The Bates Burger which was also very good. One thing to know is that if you sit on the patio you are by the pool and there were lots of people swimming. We started outside and moved inside which we preferred.
