Love the new location and decor. Great wine list and wonderful service; friendly and attentive. It was my first time and I enjoyed the New Mexico Special steak. The green chili risotto was very delicious.

Joseph’s Culinary Pub is designed to be a platform for Chef Wrede’s unique and uncompromising vision on traditional and contemporary cuisine, both regional and international.

Was so excited to try this, food was just ok. So many options in Sante Fe it’s hard to describe why it was just ok. Patio is gorgeous, wine list is pretty good but it just missed the mark for me in this crowded foodie paradise. 3 of us all had meals, appetizers and shared the great bottle of wine. I’m glad we tried it-but it’s not stellar like so many other places in town for a huge price tag. Chef must not be cooking regularly because the hype was more than his famous cookbook and reviews.
