   We love the food here. Our dinner was delicious fresh salad, salmon, chili rellenos with veggies with delicious red sauce. Lots of vegetarian options. I wish they would offer more plant based (without dairy/eggs) options/for those of us choosing to eat healthier.

   I spent my birthday solo and the food made it that much more enjoyable. Reasonably priced, fresh tasting, and at your table in less than 30 mins. I had the local short ribs with mashed potatoes and zucchini corn squatash. No desert after that, but definitely fills you up. The ribs were fork tender seasoned well. The squash/ corn super fresh and light. The mash creamy and buttery. Fast forward to the next day, I ended up at breakfast for chorizo tacos (2). Also very delicious and filled to the brim with refried and scrambled eggs. Both times I cleared my plate. The staff is superb you can tell they are a team and care for one another. Can't beat that when it comes to the people making your food. Much appreciated.

   While the atmosphere was terribly lacking in such a charming location, the food and service was excellent. The menu has alot of fabulous choices for when dining here multiple evenings.

   In two days, we had lunch, dinner & breakfast the 2nd day. The meals were delicious & food preparation is very important to me. But the service was outstanding. From the host, the wait staff & servers, they were personable friendly & very knowledgeable about the restaurant. As I looked around, I saw happy customers. My compliments to management. We will return definitely.

   Ate here as we had stopped to do a Day Pass after a whitewater rafting adventure in the area. Had an early reservation. Seated right away, service was very good, fairly attentive. Seemed a bit understaffed at the restaurant. Food was very good (shared bruschetta and vegetables were fresh), pork tenderloin cooked as requested with well-seasoned broccolini and sweet potato mash. My daughter's Pomodoro pasta was very good per her report. I tend to reserve 5 stars for truly outstanding places so I would give this a sold 4-4.5 stars. We were too full to try dessert and did not have cocktails or wine since we had a one-hour drive back to Santa Fe! The Spa was fairly nice overall, somewhat crowded confines for the Women's Bath House and fairly good compliance with rules of quiet. Again, very attentive and kind staff. Relaxing and nice way to end our day!

   We enjoyed a great meal after spending the day soaking in the mineral pools. We will definitely make a dinner reservation the next time we visit Ojo Caliente.

    Ojo Caliente is a lovely spa. The appetizers, brushetta and pepper fries, and salads were very good. The entrees of fajitas and chile relleno were so so. Breakfasts were also good.

    My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary with a trip to Ojo Caliente. You don’t really go to Ojo for the food, but since the restaurant is really the only place to eat, we made a reservation. We had salads, my husband ordered the Classic Caesar and I had the Ojo Farm Salad. The greens were fresh, but there was a lot of them, compared to the other ingredients-it was almost like a bowl stuffed with greens, just a little out of balance. My husband had the Bison Ribs, which were served with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. He loved the ribs (which were distinctly mesquite flavored) and the mashed potatoes were delicious. I had the roasted veggie chile relleno. The red chile was spicy and delicious, but the roasted veg and the quinoa tamal were not very flavorful, and I guess I just don’t like goat cheese with red chile, I found it an odd combination. The staff was friendly and available and we sat next to a window with a lovely view of the gardens. I think it just depends on what you order!

    Once again, your restaurant did not disappoint! Food was excellent, ambiance was wonderful and the wait staff was excellent! And Mateo and Tomas were attentive and made our dining experience perfect! Also, the young man who we checked in with(Anjel?) was delightful.

    So close to 5 stars but like so many restaurants staff was a bit overburdened, the steak in the tasty fajitas was a bit chewy and the lovely vegetarian southwest quinoa casserole was overpriced. Would’ve enjoyed a light dessert option. The Artesian restaurant really enhances a stay at Ojo Caliente

    The food was great and all the host and servers were great except for one that ruined our previously nice experiences at the restaurant. Erik was so rude to us and other guests and had such a bad attitude that we refused to eat in the restaurant after that and drove 45 miles to dine in Taos.

    Food was terrific. Mother’s Day special wasn’t much of a value. And therecould’ve been more items offered. However, the lasagna was absolutely delicious.

    Service staff was overwhelmed but very friendly. Main dish came out while we were still eating appetizers and the runners just dumped them on our small table so we needed to stack plates and put our water bottle on the floor to eat. Menu does not indicate gluten free items and service staff were uncertain. If they can indicate what is vegan (which they do), they can indicate what is gluten free. They also seemed to be running out of dishes, because some items seemed to be plated on dishes that were too small or too big for them. Scallops over cooked.

    The food was just average, not what we were expecting. The food did not seem to be made with “love”, but rather, typical pre-made restaurant fare ie; cesaer salad out of a bag. We were rather disappointed.

    Food was outstanding as always. Also, ample size servings. Waitresses, waiters, bartenders, and bus staff were professional and courteous. The meals coming out of the kitchen were much slower that previous visits. That could have been the result of short staff in the kitchen.

    My boyfriend and I have enjoyed coming to ojo caliente for day soaking but this is the first time we have stayed the weekend. It is amazing. We are staying in the posi suit (I think that’s the name) the room is spacious and luxurious. We loved lighting a fire at night in our bedroom and absolutely looovvveeeddd having our own private soaking tub in our back patio with beautiful Mountain Views. We really couldn’t have asked for a better trip. We got massages today and went early to the waiting room so we could use the eucalyptus steam room and Himalayan salt dry sauna. As if getting pampered with a massage wasn’t enough the waiting room feels like it’s own treatment. The restaurant has healthy delicious options and we don’t drink but the cocktails sound yummy. We came to celebrate my bday and now we both have decided this has to be a bday ritual each year! So dreamy!

    Hostess was not friendly, waiter was kind but frazzled. Ordered a dish with certain ingredient description and received something different.. very disappointing since I ordered for that flavor profile (ie ordered pork with poblano, corn and bok choy - it came with broccoli instead). Overall, overpriced for what it was in terms of experience and food quality.

    Delicious dinner-Began with Prickly Pear Margarita, beet salad, small blue corn muffins, then the Trout & rice dinner was deliciously baked. I ended with the crème brûlée dessert as a special treat. Not overly priced, but reasonable. The staff was friendly and attentive. Hot Springs Spa Experience- After dinner, I changed in the comfortable Women’s locker room where I was given a key by helpful staff. I soaked in all 4 of the mineral springs. It was not overly crowded although it’s May 4th so early in the season. Still a good clientele crowd in attendance with people being mostly respectful adhering to the “Whisper Rules” & thankfully no one talking on their cell phones as part of the rules. Overall relaxing for my body, soul & spirit!Thumbs up!👍🏽
