Andy was our waiter, he had fabulous recommendations & overall was a great guy. I ordered the scalloped which were amazing. My husband had the Elk which he said “best I have ever had”. Desserts were equally as good.Cleaned our plates. Highly recommend Coyotes Cafe. Best meal I have had in a long time.

I was looking forward to trying Coyote Cafe. I have to say, our party of four was underwhelmed. The pork collar was bland and tough, not juicy, and sat in a pool of dry tasting black beans. Believe it or not, we asked for salt because it was so bland, which is unusual for pork. One of our party had the sea bass which he said was fine, but again, the word bland. The pork belly tacos were good as an appetizer and the corn bread that they bring to the table was excellent. The decor was beautiful with some great art. Overall it was an overpriced, bland dining experience and in a city like Santa Fe with so many flavorful options it was a disappointment.

My family held a small celebration of our moms 100th birthday and Coyote Cafe made it a truly memorable occasion. The staff, particularly our server Perez (hope I got his name right!) were all welcoming and so helpful. The food (our group had the scallops and the elk tenderloin) was over the top spectacular. We will keep this restaurant on our special night out list!

We are delighted to leave a positive review, again. We had the pleasure of meeting Travis, the new Chef for 3.5 months now, and it shows what a positive impact he’s had. We’ve.been to Coyote Cafe many times in the past but had decreased our frequency as meals were inconsistent, some not up to a high end place. In contrast, dinner last night was excellent, from appetizers to deserts. We’re happy to put this formerly favorite restaurant back on our preferred list. Prices are higher, but worth it. Paris, our waiter, 5 stars, and the dining hall remains one of the nicest in town.

As always, this was an outstanding experience. We made a reservation for four for a birthday celebration. Our server made extra effort to make the birthday girl special beverages, and candles for the dessert. The food was outstanding, the wine pairings were exceptional, and the specialty cocktails were a great experience. It was truly a special night. Thank you!

We ordered the recommended dish of squash blossoms and sea bass. It was tasteless in my opinion. The scallops were good Though.

We are visiting Santa Fe for the first time, and had dinner on our first night in town. The food & service did not disappoint. Our server Andrew, aka, Andy was very helpful with choices of food and drink. He had a great sense of humor as well. If you are visiting Santa Gr give Coyote Cafe a try. P.S. Their Coyote Rooftop Grill next door looked very lively as well, with the younger crowd.
