La CantinaWhat a treat - good food,What a treat - good food, really good drinks and a cabaret show. Don't miss this restaurant when in Santa Fe5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it, always doWe hadn't been back to La Cantina in a while but as always we loved the combination of music and great food. The hanger steak, ordered medium rare, was perfect and the pan seared scallops seems to make my girlfriend quite content. I'd never had mashed potatoes wrapped in a grilled green chile before ..... nice!
Go everyone, enjoy La Cantina! Rob Fox is a master on the piano and the entertainment is fantastic.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food, truly outstandingGood food, truly outstanding service and entertainment.
These are not your usual singing waiters!
Christiane Miranda who we got to know while she served as our 'waitress,' has a powerful voice with tremendous range--"the whole package," wife says--and reminded me of a young Barbra Streisand. The 84-year-old accompanist/pianist has a voice like Tennessee Ernie Ford. His deep bass 'money note’ was easily worth the price of our dinners and drinks, and his performance of "My Way" made Sinatra's old version seem weak--at least to this 80-year old geezer. Wow!
All the performers seemed to genuinely enjoy chatting with customers (several of whom ordered only drinks--there is no cover charge, incidentally) as much as we enjoyed meeting them.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMIt is so fun to have the waitIt is so fun to have the wait staff sing songs, they are all so talented!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMI have been there many timesI have been there many times and as always I enjoyed myself and I believe so did my first time guest.
Jo4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were ontime for our 7 p.m.We were ontime for our 7 p.m. Open Table reservation and were seated immediately. We were asked if we wanted to be near the "stage" or toward the rear of the room and we chose near. We got a ringside table at the far left, against the wall. Although we were often just behind the singers (but close enough to touch!) we were quite happy with our location.
My wife and I shared a nice beet salad and she was very pleased with her mushroom tamale off the early dinner menu, which is available through the night. I had venison sausage.
Our server was Christianne, the only female singer on the bill. She was very personable and had a fine voice and stage presence.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AM
