- RRobertNew Mexico •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoRestaurant Martin is my favorite restaurant here in Santa Fe, primarily because it offers a sublime menu combined with a refined but not stuffy atmosphere. I also enjoy the fact that the dining areas are spaced in such a way so as to not find yourself trying to hear over the noise of other conversations. The staff is courteous, and available without feeling overbearing and I've never had any meal that didn't delight my taste buds.More infoRestaurant MartinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Fe•4.7
- LLeslieNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoDining at Joseph’s is always a treat. Jeff, our favorite server, is the consummate professional. The dishes speak for themselves- interesting and delicious. You can choose to spend a lot, or not, depending on your selection(s). Regardless, you won’t be disappointed. The wine list is excellent, too!More infoJoseph's Culinary PubPrice: Expensive• Continental• Santa Fe•4.8
- DDougVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •69 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAs always, an exemplary dining experience. Delicious appetizers and main dishes: roasted beet salad, mushroom bisque, pork shank, and rack of lamb. Ambience and service were top-notch. Servers were friendly and professional. I have two very minor complaints, and both involve the bread. Geronimo’s used to deliver an impressive bucket of bread with long pieces of lavage oriented vertically, creating an impressive architectural display! Now, it appears they have shifted to more of a standard issue bread basket, which included two types of bread and several pieces of delicious lavash. While eating our main dish, we requested some additional lavash and butter. I expected that we’d get a fresh bowl of lavash and butter. Instead, the server put a couple of pieces of lavash in our existing bread basket and didn’t bring any butter. Not a big deal, but what could have been an absolutely perfect meal was slightly marred by the disappointing bread issues and somewhat stingy refill. Bring back your beautiful bread buckets!!!More infoGeronimoPrice: Very Expensive• Fusion / Eclectic• Santa Fe•4.9
- JJULIEAtlanta Metro •14 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had a great night. I had a special request on seating and it happened flawlessly. We told our server we were headed to the theater and the timing was perfect. They have a magical way of staging the meal. We had plenty of time with our cocktails and then our fabulous and tasty meal including dessert. Two hours later we left. Reminder… do make a reservation. Two couples before us in line did not have one and while they were able to seat them in the bar, it seems to be so much easier to simply reserve.More infoRadish & RyePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Fe•4.8
- JJodiDenver / Colorado •47 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 13, 2024We walked a few blocks from our hotel at night. Our wonderful server named Sean helped us get there over the phone! He stayed on the phone until we arrived & he even waited for me to get the car, to walk my dear elderly friend right to the car from the restaurant upstairs!! Best service I’ve ever had!!More infoEl Rincón CaféPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Santa Fe•4.5
