2023-06-24 19:40:11Mediocre 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.

2023-03-30 21:46:23Beautiful 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. Its a cool relaxing place and Im sure well give it another chance.

2023-10-06 16:16:25This 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.

2022-02-26 04:57:24So weve dined at numerous high end restaurants and Ill 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 dont 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.

2023-02-21 15:08:06Had 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.

2023-11-19 18:35:29Too cute of a place, we made reservations for 7 and almost everyone at our table ordered steak… it was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, delicious. If you get the blackberry cheese appetizer you have to order extra bread because the crostinis are definitely not enough but whatever. We also had the apple burrata salad and it was delicious as well and service was excellent!Highly recommend the apple bread pudding with vanilla ice cream, it was divine

2023-11-12 03:27:56Was 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 didnt 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 Ive gotten my monies worth, Ive often tipped a hundred bucks on that occasion. Tonight was not that.Feel bad for my sister as she had talked Normans up all day, only to be left disappointed.Unfortunately I wont be giving it a second chance.

2023-09-22 15:00:03In 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 wasnt 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.
