    Our second time here and it was as good as we remembered. My husband had the rib eye and I had the salmon. Both were excellent with the side vegetables and roasted potatoes cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. This is a cute and cozy venue that allows for a comfortable and enjoyable evening. We will return on our next visit to Santa Fe.

    We sat at the bar for dinner and had a blast. Michael and Lanie (?) provided great service and suggestions. Has a chance to chat at length with Linda and Glenda, 2 of the owners as well. Good value, VERY reasonable mark up on wines (and a good selection) and the food was top notch. This is now on our rotation. Can’t recommend more highly.

    One of the best in Santa Fe. Food, service, ambience and wine were superb. Can't wait to go back again! Worth a trip! We shared the cheese plate and the special onion rings. Recommend highly. Each had the branzino. Fresh, well prepared and beautifully presented. Everything excellent.

    This is such a lovely Santa Fe restaurant. I am glad it is fully open since Covid. Love the happy hour wine prices, so great wines can be had for half the price. Nice menu, and I like the bruschetta option.

    Lovely restaurant and great service. It was very convenient to where we were staying. Service was great! My husband’s BBQ Platter was delicious and the sauces were perfect. My Branzino however was not a great meal. It was very oily, a pool of it, and the vegetables were too abundant. The potatoes were puffy and delicious. The fish was strong tasting, the skin not crisped and slimy and the capers were fine, but there was just not enough balance of flavors to make the fish “sing” and feel worth the price.

    A lovely small bistro apart from the busy downtown but easy walking distance to the shops and theaters. The food features Southern inspired starters like Crawfish cakes and the mains include a delicious barbecue platter (but the grits need work). They are famous for their variety list of bruschetta, which you can easily make a dinner from. And of course there’s the huge wine list. I’d prefer a somewhat longer offering of wines by the glass to go deeper into the holdings.

    Fantastic ambience, great servers and the food was outstanding. I love everything about this restaurant. Everyone is kind and helpful and the atmosphere is quiet and not rushed. I celebrated a birthday with my family. The hot melted chocolate cake is amazing. The menu has great choices and everything is executed to perfection. I’m so happy to have had my birthday dinner here.
