Chef Joseph Wrede is a Food & Wine Best New Chef, the winner of several AAA Four Diamond Awards, several DiRoNA Awards and has received both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast distinctions. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is a creation of Chef Wrede and his creative and business partners.

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. Regarding the restaurant as a process much like theater, Wrede envisions the experience of dining in his restaurant as an interactive play between the pub and the public, with his sights aimed at rivaling high art.

Exceptional, creative cuisine paired with a superb wine list and service bar none. Entertained different out-of-town guests here last week, twice this week and have a reservation made for again next week. We’re locals and have been dining regularly at Joseph’s for more than 10 years - always the same consistent food & the same consistent service. My #1, go-to restaurant in Santa Fe.

The date cake with Carmel Gelato stole the show. The salmon on a giant bean ragout was delicious and healthy, too.

Another wonderful dinner on the deck! Everything was delicious! The tagliatelle with local oyster mushrooms was so good we ordered a second serving. Two wines, including a Chardonnay that Hannah surprised me with that was so light and bright it changed my attitude toward that grape. All the way through dessert to a final caffé corretto as the sun set in a golden orange horizon... what else to want? Michael provided his usual buoyant and attentive service from start to finish. Until next time.... many thanks to AV for a fine evening.

Took a friend here for their first time. We’re both vegetarian and had a feast of options highlight for me was the street corn fusion dish and the grilled avocado.
