    Always a wonderful night out. The Elk was excellent as was the Duck, caesar salad, and the carpaccio. Service was excellent as well. We have so many great restaurants in Santa Fe and this is one of the best!

    This was our first time here and we had a great dining experience. Our server was attentive and was able to answer all our questions. We had Negroni and Cava with our tapas. We started with two selections, olives and shrimp. Then ordered the grilled artichokes and skirt steak. They were fantastic, we will be returning. Reservations recommended.

    As 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!!!

    Our board loves coming here for the holiday lunch. Nice private room and waitstaff. We started with the great dumplings and calamari. The feature pasta was popular! Steak frites and tacos were delicious as well. We will be back soon.
