    The food was excellent. I just thought it was cold inside the restaurant- literally. They need a fireplace or something to warm it up and make it feel cozier on a cold winter night!

    Yummy Thanksgiving. They sat our group in a private dining room - quiet noise level and fun to celebrate with our guests. Immense portions - lots of good leftovers to take home

    I'm in disbelief at how awful this restaurant is. It ruined our Thanksgiving. I'd chosen Blue Heron/Ojo specifically because they label vegan options on the menu. I ordered a vegan breakfast burrito. Two of the guests in our party ordered turkey plates, simple enough. They brought out my burrito smothered in cheese (obviously not vegan). After sending it back, they delivered a new one with eggs inside--still not vegan! By the time my order was at last corrected, on the third attempt, everyone else had reluctantly picked at their disappointing meals and were mostly done. My long-awaited burrito lacked any seasoning, containing only giant tofu cubes and raw-looking hash browns, which weren't browned. Shockingly, my meal wasn't comped after this fiasco. In fact, there was an automatic 20% gratuity, although we were a party of only three. If you're gluten-free, lactose intolerant, vegetarian/vegan, or just someone who makes customizations, don't be fooled by the menu. They will disregard your requests, no matter how clear you are. Avoid dining here at all costs, as it will ruin a special occasion.

    It was our 30th anniversary dinner and for $285 it should have been superb. My braise pork ribs looked like it was a leftover from the previous evening. My husband's steak was nothing to rave about. The waiter was on top but no sommelier to help select our wine for the evening. We went to Sazon in downtown Santa Fe Plaza for an exceptional dinner and service, and their chef came out to greet us--all for nearly same price. We've eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants and Sazon was well deserving. We really wish we could say the same for Blue Heron.

    Arrived late an hour before closing. I wasn't hungry but my husband was so he ordered salad and pasta. We both ordered drinks and I wanted a dessert menu. His food came but no drinks nor menu. We waited for about another 30 minutes before we were able to flag for service. Then everything came right away. Atmosphere is not as romantic nor intimate as I had envisioned for a spa resort. Feels cafeteria. We hope tomorrow's dinner celebrating our 30th anniversary will be more pleasant. Fingers crossed.

    We ate three meals at Blue Heron. Everything was unique and delicious. Service for two meals was excellent. Unfortunately, service for dinner the last night left a great deal to be desired. But, was small in comparison to all the positives.

    We were immediately seated and presented with menus plus served water. Our server came over to introduce herself within minutes. We had yummy lime cocktails and ordered the poblano fries appetizer, delicious. We each ordered salads as our entrees, the Farm Salad and the NM Cobb, both freshly mixed with their homemade vinaigrette. Finally, we indulged in the Tiramisu which was the perfect dessert to complement our salads.

    The salmon we ordered was a thin slice from the tail. (In good restaurants, it is typically a thick filet from the middle). So, because it was so thin, it was over cooked and dry. The accompanying veggies were crisp and delicious. The farm to table salad was fresh. Cocktails at $15 each were fine. At $75 per person, I would have expected more.

    We've been coming here for our anniversary for the last few years. Last year we noticed a decline in quality but figured it was just a bad night. We went last night and the food was so bad we could believe it. Everything tasted like prepackaged airport food and was completely unseasoned. My wife's vegetables were so undercooked they were basically raw. Neither of us could finish our meal which was amazing considering how small the portions were. The quality of food didn't match the expensive prices at all.The service was friendly but we didn't really get checked on very much and we were served beer in wine glasses without any explanation and left with butter knives to cut our steak which was strange. When I complained about the wine glasses we were told they ran out of every other kind of glasses and had to use those instead. The server didn't charge us for the first round which was nice. All in all this place has gone way downhill and we will probably never go back which is a shame because we really enjoyed it in the past.

    Our previous experience a few years ago was terrible but we we’re hopeful when we learned there was a new chef. This time the food was OK, but certainly not memorable. Since it’s technically a hotel restaurant, perhaps the captured audience is the issue. As Santa Fe locals, we want to support innovative chefs and we hope this one finds his creative footing. My wife has Celiac and ordered the breakfast burrito in a bowl without the tortilla. The menu said it included potatoes which were not there. She pointed this out and ordered a side of hash browns. When the bill came, we were charged extra for them. We did protest and the manager took them off, but that should not have happened! We have many choices in Santa Fe. Unfortunately, we will be waiting awhile to return, in spite of the beautiful setting….

    The food was cold and expensive for the quality. I got the steak and it was lacking flavor. The restaurant was loud and the ambience was not there for the type of restaurant. There were flies and they gave us room temperature water straight from the faucet and our water was not refilled once. Overall I would’ve preferred to eat anywhere else in Santa Fe, but I guess you pay for the convenience of staying at the resort.

    This was our first night at the resort. We tried the chicken tortilla soup, there was no flavor. The hummus was also somewhat bland. My friend got the steak and I got the burger, they were okay. Overall, nothing wowed us. We felt that maybe the seasonings lacked to appeal to a wider variety of pallets.

    Bloody Mary and Margarita made with locally sourced spirits were excellent as was the fried poblano strips for an appetizer. Spinach and goat cheese salad with pecans and blue cheese sprinkles with lemon vinaigrette was very good. Sauteed scallops with mushroom risotto, and stuffed poblano for entrees were also excellent. We would've had the caramel bread pudding but we were too full. Our server, Rachel, was pleasant, conver rant, andttentive, but not overly so.
