We are on the parking lot. The food was marginal and the server rude.

They are doing a good job Under the circumstances. We sat in the shade on a hot evening next to the dusty parking lot. Too many cars causing dust. We sat on a slant so the sauce on one dish dripped off onto the table!

My husband and I find everything about Izanami outstanding. The originality and freshness of the food is particularly noteworthy. Examples: chilled tomatillo and poblano pepper soup with watermelon cubes; rhubarb sorbet. We always order the sashimi rice bowl. The service is impeccable. We wish we could visit more often, but the dinner was expensive enough that we can only enjoy going on very special occasions.

During this pandemic Izanami Restaurant has managed to keep the amazing food and atmosphere the same. We love sitting outside on the deck admiring the beautiful views of the mountains of Santa Fe. The Scallops were amazing and the Avocado and Cucumber salad was refreshing! Servers were very professional and friendly! This is one of our favorite places to eat! We will be back soon!

Incredibly beautiful setting in the Santa Fe mountains by Ten Thousand Waves. We sat by the waterfall and had an amazing meal. Excellent service and attention to detail. Highly recommend this dining experience. So glad that Izanami is open during these challenging times.

Food was okay...service bad. Also 6 dollars for Less than a thimble of wasabi, and the attitude of that was just ridiculous. My family was visiting from out of town and it was embarrassing. My brother snd sister in law own a micro brewery in nor cal and they were shocked at the poor service.

I love this restaurant and will return even though this meal was a bit shaky. They had just reopened on a limited basis after closing 3 months for Covid safety.

Some of our dishes came quickly and were delicious, other dishes took more than an hour and weren't perfect enough. The new outdoor tables have a great view of the sunset. The service was pleasant but not yet up to speed for reordering drinks or getting the dishes out in a timely fashion.

Everything I’ve eaten there has been excellent- everything!

Izanami is good but not great. They make a good effort to recreate some authentic izakaya style Japanese food but don't always succeed. I tried the miso tonkotsu ramen and it was lacking flavor - couldn't really taste much miso or pork broth. It was also overpriced. The meat bento dish is probably my favorite. Some dishes are good, some are hit and miss. The ambience is great and it's a nice place to have some good quality food but do not expect anything too authentically Japanese or a good value.

We are very pleased that Izanami has reopened. The sake braised mushrooms are one of favorite dishes. The staff was attentive. We can’t wait until the full menu is back

Doing best they can in the Covid world. We had a table in a handicap parking stall. Cars and motorcycles occasionally loud. Food top notch although many favorites not on reduced menu. Still, I'll always go there.

The food was excellent, but it seems that some of the Japanese essence is gone with items on the menu, such as tacos. Our waiter seemed distracted. We had to ask two times for a fork.

Went here with very high expectations since the premises of the spa and hotel are so beautiful - sad to say the food was poor - i understand that there is expected to be a certain level of hesitancy and accommodations due to covid -19 but our food came out cold - the rice and chorizo was bland at best - this restaurant can do so much better.

We arrived and received everything we were looking forward to.

Thank you for an ambience of beauty.

Food at Izunami is now excellent.

Eating was outside only and was a very windy and cold evening. Avoid if cold or take warm jackets.

Excellent food. Staff making great efforts to offer a safe environment. Service was really slow though, not necessarily waiting for food but waiting for order, drinks, dessert. Chalking that up to changes due to Covid strategies and reopening. Definitely will be back again and again

Too little quantity for the price

Even though I live within 3 miles of Izanami, I have lived here almost 2 1/2 years and never been there. I think I was worried about food allergies, but I let them know what my allergies were and they were very good about omitting them, even though they are common ingredients in Japanese dishes. Superb food and ambiance! A must visit for everyone. Next, I have to try the spa.

The best dining experience! Lovely place, terrific fresh superior food. This is a must try if visiting SF! We eat here every time we visit.

Always a favorite spot in Santa Fe, as it truly takes you away from the daily grind. Food is fantastic & service is a lot of fun💗

Professional service. Terrific dining.

The reception was very good. They even recognitzed our usual seats and make a record of it so that the seats can be available when we come.

My husbands gallery representative was in town to put together a photographic show for Kurt in June New York. A huge show. We were celebrating the final choices for the show. We were shown to the counter instead of our table which was not ready. I was not going to settle for the counter nor was my husband. We were shown to our table and everything turned out well. Meal was great. Sake was superb. Our client had a wonderful time. It could have been a wreck but the problem got resolved.

We’ve been here a bunch and always like it but tonight was next level. Everything was outstanding from the table to the food to the bubbly water. We took in friends from out of town and it’s an understatement to say that they were blown away. So were we! Paloma did an awesome job. Thanks again izanami!

Lovely!! Good was amazing, sake flight incredible and friendly helpful service.

Felt like I was back in Tokyo, everything was great. The staff's knowledge around sake was truly incredible. HIGHLY recommended.

Absolutely loved everything thing about this place! Wine selection was very good and the food was absolutely delicious!

I was in a group that originally had two reservations which they combined for us upon request and were very accommodating. Everything was superb- service, food, ambiance. My only complaint is that they did not time their courses very well and our group ended up being served at different times or finishing up before others had gotten their food. The restaurant was super busy because of restaurant week, but it would have been better to serve everyone together. Other than that we had a really enjoyable evening!

Wow! Iszanami is a must if you are in Santa Fe - or it is a place you must put on your list to visit. Excellent food, service, and an incredible selection of Sake (do a flight!). Every bite from the homemade dumplings, to the soup, to the wagyu tomahawk was flawless. Eat in the Japanese seating area in a kimono and it's almost like you're in Japan!

We enjoyed the food although we found the little quail And one of the appetizers more spicy that we would have liked. The Sake was outstanding.
The people in robes for dinner we did not like so much. They did not help the atmosphere.
Parking was tight.

Amazing dining experience after a great day spent at the spa. All the dishes we ordered were wonderfully executed. The icing on the cake was that we showed up during their happy hour, which was half off all sake. Also our server was awesome! Overall memorably experience, and I'd recommend this place to anyone visiting

Always a pleasure to dine at Izanami. Our server Aine was superb.

The fried chicken and the tempura sea bass was awesome. Friendly and knowledgeable employees. I want o definitely go back for happy hour.

Excellent in every respect.

It seems there was poor communication between our server and the kitchen. We waited for an hour for all of our food to arrive. Yes, it's small plates served as they come out of the kitchen, but several parties who arrived after us got their food long before we did. We finally started bugging our waiter, who said the chefs were backed up, but that didn't explain why others were getting their food and we weren't. Eventually a manager stepped in and discounted our bill, which was nice. I don't think I'll go back to Izanami, though.

We love Izanami and have been several times. This evening was during restaurant week, and although the food was incredible, the way they present their plates does not work for the “3 course tasting menu” idea. There were 4 of us, and for each course someone always ended up without food until the other 3 were almost done with their plates. Perhaps they should rethink how they are going to do the restaurant week menu and just do their normal presentation of small plates and do away with the course designation?

Beautiful restaurant, seated on time by gracious hostess. Busy night due to being restraunt week but still served promptly with expert service and knowledge of food and sake menu. Presentation, taste, and service all highly rated.

Really creative and delicious dinner with outstanding sake list.

Very small plates, and we felt it was very expensive for what you got. Half of a grilled avocado was $10, four small pieces of tofu was $7, a scoop of ice cream was $6, a small piece of cake was $12. We went there for my birthday, and while it was lovely and there were interesting choices, I would not return. The portions were just very very small. The table next to us it was her birthday as well and I heard their server offer them free dessert, while our server knew it was my birthday and offered us nothing.
It was a lovely place and interesting though, I’m vegetarian my fiancé is not. He got one lamb chop and found it so delicious I literally think he was considering licking the plate clean. But that’s also probably because after ordering 5 other small plates he was still quite hungry.

Izanami never lets us down and restaurant week was no different. The restaurant week menu was phenomenal and the presentation was amazing. Do yourself a favor and try this fantastic Santa Fe spot!
