Service was outstanding. Everybody, and I meant everyone who served us was extremely courteous and helpful. Would love to come back since their burgers were amazing. Too bad I don’t live close by or else I’d be here every week.

Excellent food in a beautiful setting. We will be back!

Food was good. Service was awful. Had to track down a server after being seated for nearly 20 minutes just to put in a drink order and then had to continuously track someone down thereafter anytime we needed anything

Great- food has become excellent, new outside garden and feeling sitting by the amazing rock buttresses is wonderful.

Would prefer if food came out a bit more slowly and in 2s which go together.

Our sashimi and fried potatoes (!) arrived within 4 minutes of ordering. After we finished those the wine and saki arrived. Then the last two dishes.

All too fast and this is the second time eating there where drinks don’t come until way after food delivered and mostly eaten.

But overall great and we will keep on going back- food is really nicely done!

Top notch everything, even during Covid. The staff were vigilant, friendly, and accommodating. All seating is outdoors. They even delivered a blanket to me, as it was a bit chilly. The omakase (tasting menu) was divine and worth every penny. I’m so glad I made the trip. Beautiful location and fresh, creative, bold food.

Enjoyed the experience, feels like a get away from the city and was relaxed and enjoyed our meal close to nature!

Beautiful location with great servers- right down to sending me to my room with the chai I hadn’t drunk. The ginger sorbet was amazing. Japanese food is not usually my go to, pleasantly surprised.

A short drive from downtown Santa Fe with beautiful views! Our dining experience started with warm welcomes from several employees as we were guided to our patio table. The plates are small, yet every bite is packed with flavor and the presentation is refined. Recommend: the sake flight so you can try a trio of their fine sakes, nasu dengaku, popular smoked pork ribs, and their fried oysters (kaki fry) are sublime! Service is attentive, and the dishes were delivered from the kitchen quickly - almost too quickly, so let your server know if you prefer to take more time between dishes. We will come here every time we visit Santa Fe!

Since we had to dine outside it was rather chilly. Servers provided blankets which was appreciated. The heaters would have been nice earlier than later.
Always a beautiful experience regardless.

Bento box - most ingredients were heavy and too oily. Burger was under cooked and bun was stale/dry. Value factor POOR

This was our first time at Izanami and it was highly recommended to us by two people. Perhaps they were having an off night but, our experience was a solid “meh”. We booked our reservation for a special occasion one week in advance, through Open Table, notating the occasion and asking for a seat with a view. We were seated on time but in a corner directly next to the bathrooms and facing the kitchen prep area. The smell of sewage was very strong and we had to listen to the kitchen staff talk about their weekend shenanigans throughout dinner. The food was excellent but the sever checked on us so sparingly that we ended up giving up on ordering all that we wanted because it was taking so long for her to check on us (up to thirty minutes between visits). We would try Izanami again with friends but won’t seek it out on our own.

Beautiful outdoor dining with a fabulous menu! And wonderful bathroom!

Great location great food but horrible horrible service. I can’t express enough how terrible the service was. Let me give specific examples. Our waitress never ever ever came to us. Never asked how we were doing. Never asked what we would like to eat. Our greeter ordered our first drinks and appetizers but then after that we did not get any service. And you would think maybe it was because they were super busy or maybe because the waitress did not know we were assigned to her table right? Nope and nope. She knew she had our table AND she walked by our table several several times but never once asked/offered/provided anything for us. It was so bad that I got up and went to the front to get my check. What a disappointment of a service. Easy fix though : train the staff and get rid of the unfriendly ones because your location and your food is to beautiful and stunning to have that kind of people representing it.

Excellent service and delicious, healthy food. This was my first time dining out since the start of covid and I felt very safe.

We’ve been coming here for years and it has been slipping in service and food quality. The tastiest thing I ordered was a bowl of white rice, which is so sad considering how great this place used to be.

Not worth the drive - food and ambiance don't match the gorgeous building and setting.

We could clearly hear the kitchen staff, they seemed to be having a lot of fun but it completely ruined our relaxing lunch. Staff was parking right below our table, it was loud and we could see and hear everything. The food was good but it was the fact that we could hear and see everything the staff said and did outside of their professional duties detracts greatly from the experience. Disappointed

Beautiful outdoor dining, as always absolutely delicious menu with the best flavor and variety. All the staff was wearing masks and it was very comfortable. I highly recommend.

Very expensive! We ordered the bento steak boxcar $36 and got 4-5 very small slices of steak. The rest of the box was vegetables and noodles. Super expensive. This is not a place to go to if you are hungry. According to the waiter, this order was a large order!

Enjoyed a great outdoor lunch with spectacular views. My favorite was the sushi appetizer. Not a huge fan of the fried chicken.

Food was amazing and chef came by to check on us each dish of Omakase. Sat by the waterfall and it was nice to be away from everyone and much more private. The bathroom was beautiful! Celebrated our anniversary here and would definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff, beautifully amazing delicious food!!

After a very long wait for water and wine, I ordered the chef's 3 course tasting menu, my wife the soup and ribs. The ribs came shortly and were very good, the soup later and barely warm - we sent it back to heat it up. Long after my wife finished eating, we asked where my dinner was. The waiter said they lost the ticket. Another long wait and the first and second courses appeared together. After 20 minutes we asked for the manager and she went back and found the last course. Although all the courses were beautifully plated, only one was very good. In fact the fish dish didn't work at all. The dozen clams were small as peas and tasteless. The manager apologized for the pacing, and offered a desert for our inconvenience. Only after returning home did we discover that they charged us for the ice cream. Also due to Covid they don't bus dirty plates from the table.

A beautiful, tranquil setting. We tried many different dishes among the four of us and each one was outstanding. Delicious flavors, fresh, light and healthy. Can’t wait to go back!

Best sake menu in the Southwest. Server Rob outstanding.

Superb food, views of the mountains, safe environment outside for a late lunch.

We ordered seven dishes including the tomahawk steak—everything was phenomenal.

My friend recommended I have dinner here, and my AirBnB host said this was her favourite restaurant in Santa Fe. My experience lived up to their hype. The food was amazing -- I ordered the wagyu tartar, spicy avocado + cucumber salad, mushrooms, panna cotta and one of the sampler sake trios. All of it was AMAZING. And the "tapas" portions were actually much larger than I expected. I wound up having to take two of my dishes home.

Service was also very friendly and attentive. Felt totally safe and comfortable with their COVID precautions. There was one table nearby that was pretty loud, but they probably had a lot of sake ... and I can't blame them.

Go!

Amazing food and service. Waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and how to pair them and what drinks to pair them with. Felt very safe during pandemic times. View was nice from the patio overlooking the hillside.

Food was delicious, staff was friendly, view was nice. We had a great dinner.

My mom and I shared a special lunch outside on the deck. The view was lovely, the food was amazing. We both ordered the lobster ramen - I am still thinking about those the well seasoned lobster and the absolutely devious shitaki mushrooms. We didn’t order any sake, but the list was extensive. Next time!

Don’t get a seat near the bar area where the waiters congregate like it’s a break room and the conversations flow right out the open windows to diners

Reminded us of being back in Japan! Loved the food

Excellent food and service, and beautiful views! Definitely will return!

We had a lovely date night. The food was delicious and our dietary needs met without any challenge. We will be back. Seems like the safety set up for this time makes for both a more memorable ambiance and special visit.

We had a lovely anniversary dinner at a socially distanced table in a tent in what had been a parking area. The staff was careful in our interactions and provided excellent service. I loved that my spouse could order the tasting menu while I ordered two small plates that were delicious and just the right size. Even room for dessert - black sesame panna cotta was amazing.

Nice outdoor dining experience

Great experience noting that Covid has closed down in dining. View of the canyon from the balcony was spectacular.

Food and service was v good. it was tough to eat right next to the gravel/car park.

Great place very unique and delicious menu, plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices. Gorgeous views!!
