    The setting was beautiful, food was excellent and service was great. Only complaint is you had to pay for the bread and coke refills. We didn’t realize the bread basket was $10.50 when the server asks if we wanted bread. It was good but I eat out a lot and travel a lot and have never been charged for a bread basket.

    The patio setting is lovely, and the food was good, and service was very amicable. We brought 5 people and had a nice meal and drinks for about $500; it was my husband's birthday, which they knew when we checked in and again when we told them after the meal. There was no acknowledgment or glass of champagne or cake, so I felt disappointed for my husband that he did not receive anything for his birthday, especially after we treated all our friends. It's not a good venue for birthdays, anniversaries or any celebration.

    Extremely pricey. Ridiculous to pay $7.00 for bread, $9.50 for a bottle of Pellegrino which we didn’t finish and no cap to take home. I had a tiny bowl of watery pea soup for $17. Service was stuffy and not friendly. We’ve had much better food and service for much less. Happy to pay for the experience but this was very mediocre.

    For our most recent visit the evening temperature was perfect for dining on the patio. As always, the drinks and food were outstanding and the server and other wait staff were excellent. I always get the nightly special and I’m never disappointed. This is a wonderful restaurant!

    Pretentious presentation that didn't live up to the attitude. For six guests we were charged $35 for two baskets of bread; they shamed one of us for requesting fresh pepper for her salad, saying that salad didn't come with fresh pepper, "Chef's Choice" Why not just serve the pepper and keep quiet? They forgot cutlery and one of our dessert drinks, and we had to remind them. Wouldn't have bothered us except that they make such a show of being a top shelf restaurant.

    Truly outstanding food and service. The chef has been nominated for and won many awards and his food is incredible. Fresh, innovative, and interesting. I’ve had salmon at almost every restaurant in Santa Fe and no one can touch his interpretation. Sit on the patio if weather permits and try the prickly pear margarita. 🌺

    This is one of our very favorite restaurants in Santa Fe – and the dishes are so creative, yet they work - which doesn’t always happen at other restaurants. We sat on the lovely patio, got excellent service and love the spring pea soup, the new sumac-crusted shrimp appetizer, the duck and the chicken breast. We’re already planning our next visit…
