Out and about visiting los Alamos and the Manhattan project. Got steered here by the locals. A pleasant surprise with nice ambiance. I had the marinated tacos and my wife the rueben sandwich. Both excellent with a cold beer on tap. read more

Right across the Post Office you will find Blue Window Bistro. It is a very nice and cozy place. The waitress and the greeter were very nice and attentive. We dis not have any appetizers, we dig right in to the entree. I had the special of the day which was a wild caught grilled salmon bathed with guava and sesame sauce. That was accompanied with a sweet potato puree, carrots and asparagus. It was awesomely good. The best salmon I ever have. I strongly recommend this little food paradise without any hesitation. read more

Had a lovely lunch while passing through town- our group had the New Mexico dip, the fish and chips, and the steak frites salad. They were all excellent, and we had good service. Only knock is I wish they had better choices of sides - more veggies. read more

Food quality has decreased whilst prices continue to rise. Considering this is a small town business that has severely suffered fur to the draconian lockdowns mandated by the state government and has miraculously managed to survive I give them a shout for still being the best eating spot in town. read more

I had the fish and chips. It was really good. The fries were all herby and good. I went back again determined to try something else on the menu, but I couldn't not get the fish and chips again. I will try again. I was told the ribeye is really good. The atmosphere was nice and the service was pretty good too. Most meals are in the $12-20 range. Very good value. read more

This seems to be the "best" restaurant in Los Alamos - I feel sorry for the residents. This place is overpriced for what is offered at dinner. My wife ordered Salmon which was advertised as "wild salmon" but which clearly was "farm raised". She was disappointed with the preparation and taste. I ordered the Chicken with some sort of dough around it which also was quite boring. We ordered a wine which on the menu was listed as being from Paso Robles CA but which we knew to be in fact from Santa Barbara CA The menu also listed several expensive wines and one of them (I forgot the name) was listed as being from Washington State but was in fact from the Napa CA area. This makes me wonder - selling expensive wines and not knowing where they come from - how are they stored? We obviously would not be back read more

I ended up eating here three more times. I had salmon prepared two different ways on two nights and fish and chips the last night there. The fish and chips was a tad greasy, but what else would you expect? :) Service was great. I spoke to the owner the last time I went there and she was very nice. Great place! Get the creme brulee! read more

We were passing through Los Alamos headed for the Jemez Springs Scenic Loop Drive and randomly chose this place for lunch. I had the shrimp tacos, my wife had the chicken Waldorf salad and our friends split the turkey wrap. We were all impressed with the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the food. The place was packed for lunch, but the service was swift and professional. Los Alamos doesn't appear to have a lot of choices when choosing a restaurant, but you can't go wrong with this one. read more

Excellent service, food choices, prices and location. Next to park and other shops. Easy parking on street and in lot.

While visiting los Alamos we stopped here for lunch. The food and service was really good! It is a very busy restaurant and we arrived at 11:45 and the was already a wait for a table so I would recommend getting there early or make reservations. I had the Reuben which was excellent! My friends had the tacos and salmon Greek salad and they were both very happy their choices. I would recommend having lunch here when you are visiting los Alamos read more

I ate here 4x during my 3 day stay in Los Alamos. The menu was varied and the food very tasty. They had an outdoor seating option which was nice. The staff is clearly doing their best, but they could use more help, like almost any restaurant in the covid/post covid times. Thumbs up, I recommend this place. read more

Another hidden gem that we found. Dined here on a Monday afternoon before hitting up bandelier. I had their Monday special, some sort of sand which. All I remember that was on it was garlic aioli. It was amazing. The entire meal was delicious. We were raving about this place throughout the duration of our trip! I wish I remembered the name of the sand which because I didn't see it on the menu. So hopefully for all of your sakes, it's a normal Monday special :) Another thing that stood out was their soup du jour. hubby had never had it before so he got it on a whim. He absolutely loved it! Can't say if it's the best since we have nothing to compare it too but it was very delicious. We wanted to get another bowl of soup but we were on a time crunch. We considered going here again before our trip ended but it was just a touch out of the way. Now I wish we did :( read more

I've been to Blue Window several times when I'm in LA . The food is always superb,creative and consistent . The service too is very good. I had the roasted beet salad and the melt in your mouth pork tenderloin. An easy menu including Northern New Mexico specialties. All items will appease any appetite so you can't miss. The PHD's in this town must be very demanding to keep this restaurant at a high level of excellence. Melissa the owner and Lauren the manager run an excellent eatery . Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Coffee is great, grilled chicken croissant is delish. I got the side salad as the side basic field greens. I'm happy with my meal. read more

Blue Window Bistro - New American Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

This appears to the the most highly recommended restaurant in town. The decor is fairly cute with a southwest feel. The table is sticky! When I ask my male and seemingly the only waiter in house, what is good, he said everything! Great, everything is good? I Just hope the food is better. Well the French dip is not made with prime rib...it looks and tastes like a philly cheese steak with pre-sliced beef that comes in a box. The soup which is yellow tastes like curry with tons of milk. The salmon taco was ok but I like sauce that came with it. Over all, this is just an over rated restaurant and I feel sorry for the people of this town if this is the best restaurant. read more

I came from out of town for work to this lovely restaurant. It's very busy at lunch time due to the small town. When I came to wait for my table, I was alone, they said it will be 10 minutes. In less than ten minutes they had a three person table ready and they sat me there. Where I live, that would not happen as they aren't maximizing there space so that was nice. I started with the soup of the day which was green chile chicken almond. It was really amazing. The flavors were really good. I then had the al pastor tacos. Coming from California, I have had better al pastor, but the grilled pineapple was really tasty. Overall I would recommend this restaurant. read more

This is the best restaurant in Los Alamos. Consistent food, decent prices, and the service is always great. The only real problem is that it gets too busy sometimes. Get the desert, you won't regret it. It has the best creme brulé in the world and I've literally traveled all over the world trying them. They add rosemary I think. read more

We happened upon the Blue Window Bistro after hiking at Bandelier National Monument. It was pleasantly surprising. Very clean, bright interior. My husband enjoyed the turkey croissant. Our sons had hamburgers. I had the veggie burger. It's a good value as well. Service was excellent. read more

Cozy place but quite pricey for average food. My wife ordered the 8 Oz. Fillet Mignon - was just "ok" for $28. I ordered the Pork sirloin that was completely out of seasoning. Also we ordered two Caesar's salads that the waiter completely forgot. (He apologized several times but this is a mistake that can't happen). Best was my daughters chicken fingers with fries and free ball of vanilla ice cream! Los Alamos is a nice tow but needs more restaurants. read more

Blue Window is amazing!!! The food is wonderful especially their Steak Fritz salad it's clean comfy good service and amazing food. Go early enough this place fills up! Also for a restaurant it's weird they are only open during the week closed Saturday and Sunday but I think that's because there is a labor shortage here as well read more

This bistro was recommended by Los Alamos visitor center. Fantastic ambiance and excellent food. The best Reuben sandwich ever!

thanks to my yelp pals i found this great eating spot in a new town :) food: we got the lamb chops and the salmon. both were great but the lamb was better ambience: cozy, comfortable parking: plenty, it is in shopping lot service: attentive, no issues here price: pretty high , was over sixty bucks for dinner for 2 overall: i would recommend trying it out if you are in the area read more

Still a decent place for lunch or dinner with above average food for Los Alamos. The southwest chicken in the jalapeño cream sauce is now my favorite menu item. read more

The Blue Window is always a great place to have a great meal. I haven't had a bad experience here yet. They have great prime rib and creme brûlée for dessert. If you are in the mood for a burger or more fancy meal, this place satisfies both requirements. The ambiance of the restaurant and the wonderful staff make it a highly enjoyable place to relax and dine. Sometimes it's hard to get a seat quickly, but you can call ahead and make reservations. And there is plenty of parking so you don't have to worry about that. read more

Yummy! Service was quick and friendly, chocolate mousse was delicious and the menu was varied so there should be something for everyone.

Having dined at this restaurant numerous times. we've been very disappointed the last couple of times. The service was slow and the food was poorly cooked. The NY Strip steak was thin and fatty. The Angus burger was over cooked and I asked for it to be cooked "medium." I also asked for mushrooms, grilled onions, and bacon added for $2 more for each, but only got a few mushrooms and a roasted chili pepper inside instead...that i didn't request. The cod in the fish & chips was over cooked. It was dry and not flaky. The shrimp added atop the salad was burned on one side only. Very disappointing! We can only imagine these last two experiences there were poor because they are lacking kitchen and server help. The food for three of us last night (12/07/22) took more than 35 minutes to be served to us. Signs of the times in the restaurant business or just deteriorating quality from the only sit-down restaurant in Los Alamos? You'll have to decide. As for us, we won't be back. read more

Nice atmosphere. My seat was not in the most elegant place in the restaurant, but it was okay. Had the calamari as a starter and it was not bad. The chef likes their salt, which works for me, but others may find the amount in the food excessive. For my main course I had chicken with veg. and mashed potato. It was very tasty. I visited this restaurant a second time and the food was very good. Once more there was a lot of salt in one of the dishes. The chef needs to cut back on the amount and let the customer add it if they wish. read more

I have eaten here two times in the last 3 months. Frequent for me The salmon dishes are excellent. Both nights the dinners were excellent. I highly recommend this reataurant. read more

I wish we lived near this restaurant to I could go back again. We went because it was near our lodging and the reviews were mostly good. We are so glad we went here. The ambiance is delightful with bright, southwestern colors in just the right places. Our waitress was so pleasant and accommodating. The food was excellent. I enjoyed the Cesar Salad which was fresh and tasty. I ordered the scallops over polenta. The scallops were grilled to perfection. The polenta was creamy and wonderful. read more

Good food but quite pricey for what you get. Portions are small. Beautiful presentation but I left hungry.

For a little restaurant in Los Alamos, this ones a hit. Great service, great selection of food and quick for those on the run for a fast lunch. Price is reasonable and the interior and location is great for downtown Los Alamos. read more

The Blue Window Bistro is a very charming little restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, a lot of character, flowers growing in a terraced garden, and lovely semi private seating areas indoors. The staff are almost always attentive and courteous and very well trained. The menu has a few vegetarian options (I am a vegetarian) and the beer/wine assortment works for me. My favorite thing here is the Veggie Burger- which they make from scratch and has a wonderful flavor. I usually get it with an IPA and leave with enough leftovers to have lunch the nest day, all for a really fair price! read more

Overpriced and not that good. They have a lot of options but they are all pretty much 15$ plus. Then when you do eventually get the food (30+ minutes later) it's just really underwhelming. read more

Good food and extremely good service. Had a salmon entree salad packed with ingredients and very tasty salmon grilled open flame. Had asked for salmon cooked rare and it came well done, but otherwise everything was spot-on. read more

We were in town for dinner while camping at Bandalier National Monument. We were in for a treat! The decorations are super cute and funky (check out the napkin rings!). But the highlight of the night was Tanya, our server. She was so helpful, and great with our kids! She made us feel like family, and kept us laughing all evening (she's hysterical!). The food was delicious, very "New Mexico eclectic" with something for everyone. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Los Alamos! (Unless we move here, then we we'll be back every week to hang out with our new BFF Tanya.) read more

this place sucks the food is so bad I couldn't not gag throw eating the food the service was so bad I almost cursed out the waiter.

Repeat customer, so relieved to find it still alive & well. Again, a yummy experience!

Stopped thru for a quick lunch. Calamari, shrimp salad and steak salad were all bomb AF. Sat right on the window and had a view of small town america post office and stream of New Mexicans headed this way and that. Waiter was polite and attentive. Not sure what else is going on around here but this spot was just fine. read more

Had a delightful twist on a French Dip, with green chilies giving this dish a subtle bite. Co-workers enjoyed their meals also. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Cool little place, definitely more of a bistro than New Mexican (as in their name), but they do have enchiladas! Taquilla chicken tortilla soup to start and it was fantastic, it had some kick but I like spicy food. I got the chicken enchiladas (Christmas), they are served flat and they were really good. I'm normally a cheese enchilada person, but the chicken enchiladas did the job tonight. The Blanco Margherita was excellent! I would say this place knows what they are doing. The service was alright, but I was dining alone and I feel like solo diners are often overlooked. All of the 2 or more tables were getting fantastic service. I would recommend this place and I would come back. read more
