   My roommate, her gf, and myself visited this establishment the other day and it was fabulous! The food was amazing the service excellent and the ambience was phenomenal. I had been recommended to go here from a coworker who was absolutely right in her recommendations. This is a must if in or near Santa Fe!

    Great fun and decorative ambiance. Myself and 3 others ordered the Trout. It was bland and had no flavor. It was disappointing for the price we paid. Service was quick and attentive. Next time we will order a different entree.

    Very nice dinner at La Plazuela. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff was great. The tableside guacamole prepartion was fun and tasted so fresh! Our waiter Armando was excellent and they provided a dessert with birthday candle. All in all a very nice evening.

    Loved the ambiance of this restaurant. Opted for the market price guacamole that was made table side. Delicious but pricy at $20. I had the Chile Rellenos and it was superb. Best I have ever had. Tracy had the enchiladas and she was equally impressed.

    It was okay but the menu changed and some of the food was not as good. Some of the entrees were not the menu. It was a bit overpriced. The margaritas needs more flavor less tequila. The service was great.

    The atmosphere is a Santa Fe treasure. It was a bustling place. We were seated about 15 minutes after our reservation. The trout entree was excellent, and the salmon was very good. The bread pudding was good, my personal taste would be to have it served warm with a hot syrup or chocolate over the top with the whip cream. We had a lovely evening with friendly staff. I recommend it!!

    We made a reservation and arrived early not expecting to be seated immediately. Our hostess was not friendly and seemed displeased that we were checking in prior to our reservation. Even though she said she would try to seat us early, we then had to check in again after our reservation time. They appeared to have forgotten about us. They then seated us about 10 minutes after they had asked us to gather our party. The drinks were delicious, but over half of the prime rib special was either too fatty or too difficult to chew. The sides and enchiladas were great. Our server was fantastic and very helpful, but that was not enough to turn our evening around completely.

    The dining room was lovely. We experienced an attitude from the waitress since we ordered a small dinner. We are in our 70’s; we were on a holiday; we make reservations early; we top 25%. Don’t appreciate attitude. The Manager was dressed poorly. Tennis shoes and jeans with a jacket.

    My wife's steak frites were very tough, however the waitress offered to bring her a replacement 6oz filet at no charge. It was much better. Overall, not a good meal for the money.

    We split a generous wedge salad. We each had the hanger steak with a delicious au jus and vegetables. The mean was incredibly tender and flavorful. We concluded our dinner with the flan. It was especially appreciated because we were staying at La Fonda, and had just driven 8 hours. So nice not to have to go out for such a great experience. Service was also professional and prompt. Perfect arrival.

    Excellent restaurant, we love to come here when visiting Santa Fe. It’s in a beautiful atrium setting, not formal but lovely peaceful vibe. Food is always wonderful, as well as service. Northern New Mexican cuisine as well as traditional American steaks, fish and other unique offerings. Definitely recommend.

    Service was poor. Food was barely warm when served. Prime rib had more fat than meat. We were there an hour before our orders were taken. Soup arrived before our guacamole, salsa and chips. Overall, very disappointing. We are from out of town and visit Santa Fe every year. We were disappointed last year but thought we would give it one more try. Spent $250.00 for 3 of us. I don’t mind that much if the service and food are good. Sorry to say we won’t be back.

    There is something about being two women...particularly older women...that makes you invisible. The wine arrived and guy said he'd be back with an ice bucket. We were well into our second glass when it finally arrived 25 minutes later. No veggies to speak of with my salmon and my wife's crab and black pasta was dry. Noisy. Straight couple who came after us was pampered by sane waiter. Dessert served to wrong person by totally different waiter. Food okay but not worth price. Service mediocre.
