   Santacafe is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Fe, NM. The food is incredible, the atmosphere is beautiful - especially the garden in the summer - and the staff are kind, attentive and very good. I highly recommend the calamari and the spring rolls as starters and Maggie's special pasta of the day and lobster rolls! Great wine list and wonderful craft cocktails too!

   Our evening at Santa Cafe was very nice. Service was spot on by both the principal server and other staff. We had lobster rolls (appetizer ordered as an entree), bolognese, and the pork chop. The first two were excellent, the pork chop was extremely tough, nearly impossible to cut. Desserts were superb. We will be back.

   We were 5 people. Our food came 45 minutes after we ordered it. One of my guests had to leave shortly after we received our food. We were never told that it was delayed. The famous pasta was lukewarm and tasted terrible. The bread for the 4 turkey sandwiches ordered was hard. The turkey was not good. I've gone there for many years, and had many good experiences. This time was a disaster. People around us were being served food. We weren't.

   In a word, stellar! This one’s a keeper! Outstanding food, served with pride and passion. Our server, August, was as artful as they come and he himself enriched our experience. Highly recommended!

   A lovely birthday luncheon. The calamari is still the best we have had anywhere in US and beyond. Service was pleasant and thoughtful. We waited quite a while after ordering for our entrees, but they proved worth the wait, including Maggie's pasta, lobster rolls, salmon tacos and a cheeseburger. The entire group raved about the parmesan fries. We were happy to find the same quality we knew before the pandemic.

   Started with the Lobster Roll and then a superb Rack of Lamb. The new pastry chief ending the evening with a very tasty brownie with Vanilla ice creme whipped creme and a raspberry topping. Cody our service person is always the notch. Almost forgot, all this devious food was washed down with a Robert Sinkey Pinot.

    We had enjoyed eating here for lunch in the beautiful outdoor courtyard before. Dinner inside was more formal and our waiter was not great. He was obviously perturbed that we weren’t spending more and made it clear. Would come back for lunch but not dinner.
