From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were in heaven. The service and the food were so outstanding! The portions were extremely generous, and I had not planned well, eating half a bagel in the late morning made me not so hungry so we have delicious leftovers for today. Everything was so fresh! Five stars in all categories. A real treat for anyone visiting Santa Fe.

Its a lovely restaurant and usually has really good service but this time it was very slow and inattentive. Disappointing. We asked to have an additional gyoza so every one in our party could have one and they said no. (?) The drinks came out very slowly and we had to wait for a good 10 minutes to get our check.
