    I ordered a brisket cheesesteak. There was one minutely, thin, slice of something, but not brisket. Nothing but a huge slice of gristle. I took the meat off and ate the bread. This was the worst meal I’ve had in Santa Fe in nine years!

    We dined here in 2017 and it was amazing, this might actually be the entire reason we came back to Santa Fe. Our latest trip left a lot to be desired. The food was ok but not great. The duck could’ve been seared for another 1-2 minutes. The burger was overdone and dry. The drinks were ok. The service was fine but not memorable. We were seated in the far back of the restaurant against a wall. It was far too cramped for a four top. Additionally, there was absolutely no background music playing so everyone could hear everyone else’s conversations. Odd ambiance.

    Our dinner was very disappointing, not worth the money, and did not live up to any good reviews. The gnocchi was dense and gummy in a watery tomato broth with little flavor. The wild boar tenderloin was tasteless and chewy. We would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    I was supposed to have a patio table, and when we arrived it was closed. My food was average,but my friend had a good salad. The waiter checked on us twice, but otherwise could not be found. The atmosphere was pleasant, so it was sad that it wasn’t a great experience.

    Came for the Mother's Day brunch buffet. The location of the restaurant is great but finding a parking place was difficult, at best. The food was tasty and well prepared with a wide variety to suit just about every taste. And the wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The only downside was the amount of our tab. Especially after we took a look at the regular menu prices. I realize it was Mother's Day but it seems like the markup was excessive. And the added in 23% "service charge/buyout gratuity" was ridiculous! Especially for a buffet meal. We'll probably be back but not likely for any holiday meal.

    My wife had the beet and barrata salad and tortilla soup. I had the burger with fries. The beets in the salad were not very good. We never received any bread. Our waiter was also waiting on a large party so he was MIA. Burger was fine but nothing special.

    From the moment we walked up to the hostess to the moment we walked out, everything was a delight. Our server was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. Our craft margaritas, crispy Brussels sprouts, fish special, chicken and hamburger (!) were all so good that we put aside dainty manners cleaned our plates. We will definitely eat here on our next Santa Fe visit.

    Average atmosphere and expensive limited menu. Average service. A nice hotel that could do better with this restaurant. Not worth the price and there are better places to go for a nice meal. Not a good value.

    Celebrating my wife’s birthday and the whole experience was outstanding! Our waiter, Jordan, was gracious, attentive, and friendly. He was very accommodating in taking care of and serving the birthday cake I brought in for my wife. Those assisting Jordan with service were also very efficient. The ambience of Luminaria was perfect for the occasion. Glass stemware, perfectly clean white tablecloth, and classy setting all perfectly done! The plates we ordered were all beautifully presented and and the flavors and seasonings were very well prepared. The meat was just a tad bit dry but overall still extremely good. The entire restaurant and other customers were all very quiet. Made our event feel very private and intimate. I don’t think I could have asked for a better experience for this special occasion. Thank you!

    I consider myself a foodie, and the food here was fantastic, both in presentation and taste. But the decor was uninspired and ambiance was pretty stale. The server was not great for this level of restaurant. The server in the next area over looked much better. Ours was way too hurried (even though they were not busy), and didn't respect our space in the way a restaurant of this level should. But again, I want to emphasize that the food was fantastic.

    We were a party of four. One was gluten-free and one diner was vegetarian. The GF options were good. Only one entree option for the vegetarian which was celery root steak. It was hard, crunchy and undercooked and if not for the sauce on top, had no flavor at all. The cauliflower risotto and asparagus that was served with the celery root was very tasty. I think the chef should come up with a different vegetarian option. The GF chocolate desert was wonderful as well as the sorbets.
