La Plazuela was the hotel’s original 1920s patio and it retains that sunlit Old World charm. Skylights flood the dining room with natural light and handsome carved furnishings, artisanal lighting, and our much-loved hand painted windows create a beautiful, inviting room to gather, to dine and to make memories in. The menu was crafted to showcase old favorites with New World influences and authentic New Mexican cuisine. La Plazuela at La Fonda on the Plaza is Santa Fe’s gathering place. Come dine with us!

    1. Biggest problem was the noise level. It was so loud, I was happy to finish and leave. 2. My wife ordered the scallops and told the waitperson, she wanted them cooked through. When the order finally came, she sent the order back because the scallops were not done. I had the steak frites. It was good. When the orders came back, the food was very good. 3. We were warned that we were allotted 1 1/2 h ours to complete our meals. It lasted closer to 2 hours, but no one said anything. Thankfully.

    I normally order enchiladas but this time I ordered the Sea Bass and it was the best fish I've had in years. Perfectly cooked and the sauce was the best.

    My Chilean Sea Bass portion was ridiculously small for the $53 price. Inconsistent service, no offer of pepper for salads or other foods.
