    Amazing dinner. Service and Food. Gazpacho, salad, bread and butter selection, roasted corn side dish, ravioli were all top notch. Fresas con crema may be the best dessert I have ever had. Fantastic place.

    We had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar at Coyote Cafe. We ordered drinks, appetizers and dessert. All were delicious and beautifully presented. The bartender, Jeremy I believe was his name was friendly and attentive. We also had the chance to visit with another diner who lives in Santa Fe and she said this restaurant is a local favorite. Would highly recommend!

    Sat at the bar and watched all the action. The kitchen is impeccably managed and run. Dakota Weiss is truly a genius when it comes to flavor combinations and presentation. The whole team was incredibly kind and professional. So fun!
