    Izanami has always been out #1 dining spot for special occasions. We dined there last night and overall, it was a good experience but with some disappointments, primarily that may sea bass was served at room temperature --at best. When I pointed it out to Iris, our waitress, she just shrugged it off. Understandably, it was a busy pre-holiday night but the service, too, was not as attentive as has been customary.

    Izanami never fails to produce the best food we've ever experienced in Santa Fe. We have returned year after year. They just keep getting better. From the innovative cocktails, to the best sashimi, ribs, salads, and more - they have something for everyone.

    There were 4 of us…we enjoyed mushrooms, eggplant, black noodles, apple Kimchi salad, a tempura/spicy crab maki roll, crunchy tuna and sea bass. Every dish was well prepared and timely served. Neo (Daniel) our server, was charming, knowledgeable, and very helpful. It was a great dinner celebrated with friends.

    Izanami has stepped up thier game since our last visit. It has always made for great dining, but our experience was notice at all levels, from service to ambiance of the space, and hats off to chef and kitchen for really elevating the food experience. Well Done!

    The only thing was I had requested a booth and instead was seated at a table in the middle of the room. I would prefer a booth in the future. Otherwise the evening was lovely.
