We went with family and we enjoy the food and service, was a little empty, but the food was great. We enjoy it, and we will come back on the next opportunity.

I'm not sure if there is fine dining in these parts but this is close. Some of the dishes although a bit creative and have nice presentation were a bit too salty. I also thought the sides overwhelm the main course which is quite small and so did not really fill me up. The staff is professional and somewhat friendly.... More

I went there with my fiance Alex for his birthday. The service was really solicitous, courteous and warm. The food was very decadent, we had the French onion soup, chopped salad, beef short ribs, and of course mac and cheese and I have been craving it ever since. Love this restaurant and I'll definitely come back for my next

Excellent food, excellent service, very friendly staff. Reservations are a good idea. My husband & I went to Norma's after a long day of skiing and it was an excellent end to our wonderful day. We basically ordered appetizers for dinner & they were delicious! The beet salad, Cobb salad, crab cake & french onion soup were outstanding! We also... More

I can't believe we didn't go to this place before last weekend. It was excellent. Cool space and large floor to wall windows make a great view. The kitchen area is open, so you can see the chefs at work. You could even sit at a "bar" that surrounded the kitchen, although we sat at a table. The menu is... More

The food was outstanding, yes limited, but that is what makes this restaurant so good...the farm to table concept is definitely here at Norma's. Everything was fresh and we all enjoyed the wonderful flavors that came with each meal. Still thinking about those brussel sprouts...and the... More

The scenery from the windows was breathtaking, the ambience was relaxing and the food was very good. Best latte in Stowe! The menu was limited but the were willing to accomodate our request of broiled eggs on English muffins (no hollandaise sauce). Would consider for dinner.

We saw Norma's on Tripadvisor and searched it out for lunch - hard to find if you're coming down the Mountain Road. It's tucked in next to the spa and a valet parks your car. It's really a small place with just a little bar, but the giant windows overlooking Snuggler's Notch open it up. I had a nice quiche... More
