   Wonderful service from Valerie and Greg. The lobster Benedict continues to be a fav as well as the pinyon pancakes. The sausage at breakfast is an old fashion thick link that is not to be missed. A few more brunch options (sandwiches) are needed however. Easter menu not yet known.

   Our whole experience was fantastic. We had the mushroom soup and a wedge salad to start followed with the skillet tenderloin and the trout. The tenderloin dish with sides was perfectly prepared. The trout was also perfect, there were a lot of complex flavors on the trout dish plate, maybe a bit too many but still very good. We finished with the s'more desert. Definitely the way to go! It was a Tuesday evening and not to busy. Service was fantastic. Not just in the restaurant but also the bar and other staff seemed genuinely pleased to serve us. Will definitely go again!

   Had a fabulous dinner and great service two nights ago. Tonight, not so much. We enjoyed the kale Cesar salad so much so that we ordered it again tonight, and aside from the dressing, it was a completely different salad; spring mix versus kale. The spring mix wilted under the weight of the hearty dressing and there was minimal if any “kale” in the salad at all. The server asked how it was, and I let her know that it was disappointing based on our dining experience from just two days ago. Truly, if you don’t want honest feedback, don’t ask. And don’t pretend to “talk to the chef” or inspect the salad mix personally. Kale is kale. Spring mix is spring mix. Spinach is spinach. And they are all drastically different. And manners are manners. To sit there and argue with a patron reflects poorly on yourself and your establishment. Clearly, neither you, the chef, nor management care enough to be honest and own the situation. If the kitchen is out of kale, just apologize and offer an alternative rather than serve something that is inferior and nothing like what is listed on the menu and then proceeded to dismiss honest feedback. You don’t have to love every patron, but you should take enough pride in yourself and your establishment to professionally and maturely handle criticism. Escalating vs. deescalating. Figure it out. It’s not that difficult. And it will serve you well in the future.

   We read about the chef and we’re so excited to have brunch. The service from when we walked in was less than desired. We realize that staff shortage is an issue so that was not it. The Bellini delivered with Schnapps as a substitute for peach purée was unacceptable and sent back. The food was delivered on the cold/warm side. Just had higher expectations but think the chef has a great eye for what works. Just need the team to make it great.

    Our wait person was wonderful and it was a charming atmosphere but dated back to the 80's. The food reflected classics from that time period as well. Nicely prepared but far to large in portions. A lot of wasted potatoes! Dessert was lovely, and I repeat, the service was great.

    Setting, ambiance, and service were very good. Unfortunately, the food was uneven. Two dishes were good, but a third was poor. Our server offered to take it off the check without prompting, which was a very generous offer. I hope they can develop a more robust and solid menu to go along with the rest of the experience.

    The servers, especially Wendy, were very good, and this review is not reflective of their effort - they deserve raises for how attentive they were. The issue we took with our dinner was that this was billed as fine dining and the quality of ingredients didn't match. I ordered the filet and at $50+, I expect the filet to be of a decent quality. The beef itself was not flavorful and had a bit of gristle; it was cooked to a good medium rare as ordered (so that was also not the issue), but it was not tender at all - I've never had chewy filet before, it was disappointing. We felt very unsatisfied with what we paid vs what was received.

    Made a reservation for Father’s Day brunch. Nice courtyard atmosphere, greeted by friendly hostess and seated quickly. Wait staff was slow to arrive, and it took a long time to get our drinks from the bar. We shared a breakfast burrito which was huge & delicious, and also shared a side of fruit. When server brought the food to the table, a few strawberries fell out of the fruit bowl and onto the floor. Server didn’t replace them for us, and nobody cleaned them up… they were still on the floor when we left. Overall, friendly but kind of slow service. Great atmosphere & good food.

    The honey-chipotle grilled shrimp starter is one of the most beautifully and deliciously composed dishes I have had in a long time. The baked goat cheese and prosciutto with jam and nuts on crostini is a perfect combination of flavors and textures. We appreciated the suggestions from our lovely waitress Wendy and enjoyed meeting Cristina Martinez, a truly talented young chef. Can't wait to return!

    The prices charged are not proportional to the service and quality. First, they need to close the musty greenroom patio dining and serve guests in their formal dining room. Second, when I opened up my silverware from the rolled napkin, my fork was dirty. Then we were asked to save our forks after we ate our salads in order to re-use for our entrees. Our food was good, but nothing to write about. Our water was slow to be refilled. We spent close to $200 for a burger, 2 salads and a trout entree with a couple of drinks. Don’t expect free refills on sodas. We were charged $4 twice for flat Diet Coke. For the prices paid, one would expect a four-star experience. Instead it was poor ambiance with poor service. We will not be going back.

    Huge delays out of the kitchen for both appetizers and entree. It took 2 hours to complete dinner. During long wait for the appetizer I asked for some bread. Later found out we were charged $4 for two store bought rolls. Entrees finally served and my rice was undercooked (raw). I asked for new rice. It never came. I asked for to speak to the manager, and she had attitude. After I asked if undercooked rice was acceptable, she replied, “what do you want, some type of discount?” When the check was brought, it included a 35% surcharge. I asked the waiter what that was, and he said they accidentally added a charge instead of applying a discount. If you want a 4 star dining experience, go to Lambert’s - which is were I went the following day, and skip this place. Nice resort, but terribly managed restaurant.

    We read in previous reviews the waitstaff and service was substandard. Our most recent experience was quite the opposite. The friendly hostess seated us promptly. The service was prompt, friendly and very knowledgeable. We were quite pleased with the quality of the food and our dining experience as a whole. We will return to the restaurant in particular the next time we are in Taos.

    Our waitress not very knowledgeable of menu and made us rush. Wanted us to order apps dinner and dessert at the same time. Appetizer got to use before our drink from the bar and was ordered wrong from waitress. 5 mines after we got our app our entrees came out. Waters not refilled and was not given a chance reorder anything. As che k was dropped off with a dessert menu? Will not return ever as it was a train wreck from start to finish

    Because of the pandemic, De La Tierra, like many restaurants, is struggling to maintain enough staff. The staff and the service at the resort were outstanding. However, the food was very limited in choice and flavor. Nothing I wanted to eat, after reviewing the menu online, was available. I was also disappointed that the chiles rellano were made with poblano peppers instead of Anaheim Big Jims which were specifically bred by NMSU Chile Pepper Institute for chiles rellano. Poblanos are Mexican food. Big Jims are New Mexican. I recommend staying at El Monte Sagrado. I do not recommend eating at De La Tierra.

    This restaurant does not have air conditioning and is effectively in a greenhouse. It was about 88 degrees during our meal and humid. While the food was good, we felt so hot and so sick we could not finish it. Well over $100 for two. In short, this restaurant should be closed.
