    One of the most magnificent dining experiences we’ve ever had. The menu was eclectic and brought together so many incredible flavors. The elk tenderloin and sea bass were exquisite.

    Pretentious, over priced, wanna be fine dining establishment. It was cafeteria loud. Wine list is good but the markup exceeds 300%. My scallop dish was good but not noteworthy. My spouse’s lobster dish was unappealing and neither of us liked its taste.

    Attentive, professional service by Jeremy at the lovely bar. I was dining solo and was thoughtfully seated at the end (where I could observe how hardworking the staff are). Phenomenal next-level cuisine. Inspired cocktail (saltiito margarita) and creative, delicious Futomaki Caesar and sublime mussels posole. My first time to Santa Fe and so glad I treated myself to this wonderful dining experience! Vibrant atmosphere with great energy.
