    Coyote is BAAAACCCKK!!! For those who have felt a kind of surrealist film noire over the last 8 months with some uneven changes at our beloved Coyote Cafe, the much anticipated return of Dakota to Head Chef has elevated the quality and sophistication of not only the menu and preparation, but clearly energized the staff whose enthusiasm is palpable. A lightness of mood permeated the room, as delectable plates and drinks gleefully made their way to tables, packed full of diners that were thrilled with everything. The Pecan Coffee Rubbed Filet Mignon brought Coyote back to having the best filet in town. Perfect Plus, is a phrase that comes to mind. 🙌🏻 Already making plans to go back again this week. YAY!!

    My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. She had the duck and I had the elk tenderloin. The green chili bisque was delicious. We shared the esquites which was also fantastic. Good wine selection and the service was excellent.

    My husband and I had a wonder dinner at CC last night. This place just never disappoints in the culinary, cocktail, and customer service experience. Always a recommended place we give to friends and always a repeat for us as locals! This is one of those places where the professional staff really works well together and it shows through their elevated service and friendliness.

    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!
