   Ambiance and service was fabulous. Our waiter, Nate, did an outstanding job. Excellent wine recommendation. But we were disappointed in some of the food. It was good, but not great. The Hamachi was delicious. The diver scallops were too salty, and the Mascarpone Arborio Rice was a tasteless mess. The Grilled Pork Chop was excellent. The caramel cheesecake was tough and chewy. Our favorite food was the tasting of the coconut carrot bisque.

   Our group of three are local, and we are never disappointed with Coyote Cafe. Staff is wonderful. Decor is beautiful and expansive windows overlook historic charm of Santa Fe. We sat at the bar this time and enjoyed watching and tasting creative cocktails from master bartender. From the Spring menu, we had asparagus/endive salad, prawn appetizer, and the legendary elk tenderloin. Coyote Cafe is in 2nd story so be prepared to navigate the sweeping circular staircase. There is an elevator but you need to search a bit to locate.

   Our experience at Coyote Cafe was excellent! The food was delicious and not to mention how attentive and professional the staff was. Our waiter, Jay, made our experience so much more pleasant and really set a high bar for restaurant service. I highly recommend and will go back if I am ever in Santa Fe again.

   Outstanding! This was my second time at coyote cafe. Kirsten was an amazing waitress, she helped me narrow down my choices and I was beyond satisfied with what I needed up ordering. Everything on the menu sounds so yummy it is genuinely hard to choose. I had the venison carpaccio and the grilled Maine lobster tails and they were superb! I love that they have an excellent selection of half bottles of wine, perfect for one🤗. Even though I was totally stuffed I splurged and got the guava tarts with passion fruit sorbet and candied chiles… it was heavenly

    Our server made good recommendations. The signature white prawn dish was lovely and very good. The rolled Caesar was an interesting presentation, tasty, but I prefer traditional Salad presentation. The lobster dish looked spectacular but had less flavor than I remember from years past. My husband’s pork chop had good flavor but was a bit dry. Desserts, guava tart and chocolate “bomb” were great. Overall, a very good dinner, but not as outstanding as I remember from several years ago.

    Our reservations were “at the counter” where we were parked right in front of the chef and his team. It was amazing to watch them in action throughout the evening. Our “back-servers” were also exceptional. They never rushed us but always seemed to appear every time we needed them…very knowledgeable about every dish and how it would be prepared. Very friendly, easy to talk with, and knew just when to step away and leave us to our meal. The cocktails were great, a nice wine selection and the food was wonderful. The upstairs restaurant had mid-century modern look and a great vibe. When you looked around, it was obvious that everyone was having a great time. Whenever you are in Santa Fe, I highly recommend you try it out. We will go there again…and again.

    It was a toasty, windy day and we were whooped. We entered the beautiful restaurant and were greeted and our waiter said, “We’re so glad you are here”. A beautiful welcome and we were treated to professional and warm wait staff. The food was beautiful and delicious and so artfully plated. My quail was perfect. My husband, a vegetarian had the most amazing rolled Caesar salad and carrot coconut soup. Lovely

    This was our first trip to Coyote Cafe. My husband and I were very impressed by the quality and presentation of our meals. My tomahawk porkchop was tender and delicious. Our drinks and appetizers were first rate. But above all else, the service and our server, Robert, was outstanding. This is a restaurant that I would definitely go back to.

    What a treat and celebration of creative apps and mains. I can cook well and when we go out I want food that inspires the taste buds and my future cooking. Our table shared 3 apps (pork belly tacos, Cesar wrap and Hamachi) all combined flavors with balance. The mains of Elk, Hamachi and Scallops were all excellent. Service was responsive and attentive. Our waiter (David) answered all our questions and helped us make decisions. Wine list is too expensive for my wallet.

    Dinner on Mother's Day could have been a disaster at the best of restaurants but the staff at Coyote Cafe carried it off like the crowd was nothing unusual. Our waiter was very, very well-informed and treated us like we were the only table in the place; service on our drinks and all three courses was solid but not rushed. And the food was amazing: I'm from the south and the cornbread appetizer with chile butters was the best I've ever had. We had the hamachi, beet and burrata salad, lamb, quail, and cheesecake; all beautifully presented and delicious and very generous servings. Highly recommended.
