    Good food choices. Excellent scallops. Enjoyed the drinks. Best service that we have had in Santa Fe. Overall, probably the best dining experience we have had here. We have eaten in many, many fine restaurants worldwide over 50 years. Our waiter was “Robert”.

    The food and service was excellent as usual, the lobster was outstanding and my wife’s elk was cooked to perfection, the cornbread and 3 types of butter were out of this world good, worth the trip

    Wow…the staff….our lovely and charming French waiter, front desk hostess, manager etc. were all top notch. Gracious, accommodating, generous and caring. They made the whole night so special and memorable. And the sea bass was OUTRAGEOUS!

    We went to celebrate a birthday and they gave us a welcome glass of champagne. The vibe in the restaurant didn’t scream fine dining like the prices did. The wine list was nice but the waiter couldn’t offer any thoughts and no Sommelier was made available. The shishito peppers were plentiful but uninspired and the lobster tails were overcooked in a sauce that overpowered their flavor. The mussels were good (although several were not fully open) and the scallops were the highlight of the evening.

    We had a lovely meal with incredible service from Robert and Roo. Cocktails were stunning. Lots of surprises here. Two in our party had the scallops and raved about them. The green chili posole should also not be missed. Memorable meal!
