I have been a lover of this restaurant for years and should have left this review long ago but it didn't cross my mind until I attended a lovely event there this weekend. I enjoy this restaurant for many reasons, the food is excellent with something for everyone, the cocktails are sublime, but the service and atmosphere is what makes it my favorite place. Whether with friends or alone I always have a good experience. The manager is always there to greet guests with a welcoming smile, the hosts are attentive and always make an effort to seat us where we are most comfortable, and the bartender is always happy to whip up a special something based on our specific tastes. This place has a great respect and love for their local patrons, and it shows. The prices are very reasonable, why go to an establishment of lesser caliber and pay the same thing when you can have better food, better drinks, and the best service in a more elevated atmosphere? Thank you to Palace Prime for setting the standard for dining in Santa Fe. My favorite meal is the burger with the best fries in town, but the pasta is also some of the best I have ever had. I've never had a beverage there I didn't enjoy, but the Mezcal sour they make there is my go to.

We went to the bar for HH before a concert at the Lensic. Had a drink and a couple of food items. We split the chicken sandwich and FF. The sandwich is really excellent. Also had the bass ceviche and it was really good too. I think next time it is oyster time. Saw a lot of trays coming out and they looked good. Passed on dessert--maybe next time.

Outstanding! Everything - from cocktails to dessert - was delicious! Interesting menu. Something for everyone - from oysters to chicken to pasta to steak with vegetarian options. Staff was attentive but not hovering. Lunch/brunch menu is a great bargain for upscale downtown dining!

Christina is a rockstar. Perfect pairings every time! And the chef’s quail special was divine. Just like my French gramma used to make.

Great food. Branzino was delicious and super fresh. Thanks for deboning it. Duck liver mousse was so savory and rich. Perfect meal. Don’t forget chocolate custard pie.
