    This restaurant is a pleasure, and a memorable experience. We had wagu beef burgers, sesame noodles, and beet croquettes that were delicious. The atmosphere is rustic and open, unlike any other restaurant in Santa Fe. Be sure to visit. The drive up Hyde Park Road is also worth the views.

    The food and ambiance are, as always, excellent! This time the service was not good, compared to the numerous times we have been there.

    Awesome dining experience. They are more than generous with the price fix menu, I highly recommend that as we got to experience so many delicious offerings we never would’ve thought to try.

    I had a transcendental experience at Izanami this evening, and it was my first time (hopefully not the last!) -like stumbling into the bathhouse from Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited away, except I remained human by the end of dinner, just barely. I joke, but the staff were remarkably friendly and attentive to this solo traveler with a shabby haircut, scruffy beard and scuffed shoes. I had to let the barkeep and manager, and chefs know that they were participating in something divine- they smiled in thanks - they already know! What a joy to be in a place filled with people ignited with their purpose! To join in their rhythm of lovingly crafted sashimi, rich Miyazaki Wagyu which I cooked myself on a blisteringly hot stone, and THE best karaage (fried chicken) I’ve ever had in my life- this was an absolute treasure and I will remember this when I die. (Hopefully as an old man!) Find a video of my experience on the Adventure Sena YouTube channel in a week or so from this review- and remember, life is an adventure! Thank you to Izanami for an inspiring addition to my quest. Gochisousamadeshita!

    Always spot on! Pork belly was outstanding, and the deserts were exceptional.

    This was our worst experience at Izanami. We are locals born and raised in Santa Fe. Never did anyone ask if we were doing okay. We were a party of 7 for our daughter’s birthday. Service was so slow. Half way through our meal our server asked if we wanted dessert when our A5 steak hadn’t even been served to 5 of us. Unacceptable!!! Do better!! Not everyone can afford a lunch for almost $1000. No excuse. Do better!!!

    Overall it was very overpriced for the quality you would expect from other reviews. We had the grilled avocado which was not so much, and the cucumber avocado salad which had no avocado. The pork short ribs are okay, but definitely not worth the drive and the price. They did have heated toilet seats with a bidet, and that was definitely a redeeming quality.
