                                        I’ve been to Coyote Café before, but this was the by far the best experience I’ve ever had, Parris was amazing, and the food was phenomenal. The green chile bisque took me straight back to my childhood, and the filet mignon was cooked perfectly. Also do not skip on the plum martini, it was the perfect match for the crudo ❤️❤️❤️

                                        Excellent service and food as usual! We had a belated Valentine dinner celebration and were not disappointed. The filet was excellent and cooked to perfection. Tried the green chili bisque and loved it! To top it off had cheesecake for dessert!

                                        First, they had my name under a totally different name and found it a reservation under my phone long time, and he finally asked if I wanted any more as we were getting ready to leave. number. We thought we were going to have great service initially and Started that way with drinks. Once we ordered our food, our food was brought to us and the server didn’t show up until it was time for our dessert and asked if we wanted it now or wait a bit. Next time you showed up was to hand us our bill. My water glass have been empty for a long time, and he finally asked if I wanted any more as we were getting ready to leave. The food was superb as always, and we know who to ask for next time as our waiter. We’ve always had exceptional service there, but not last night.

                                        We had a lovely SFrestaurant week dinner. Drinks, food and service were stellar. Thanks Parris! It had been years since I’d been back. Dining room is much more subdued but still felt special. Curios!
