Restaurants near Site Santa Fe

My wife and I had dinner at Geronimo last night. The food, service and ambiance were outstanding. The building is unique and is a great location for this type of dining. We had a table in the bar area and it was comfortable and was very cozy. Geronimo’s billing as the best dining in NM is well deserved. We have eaten at multiple Michelin restaurants and this restaurant is on par. If in Santa Fe, try to eat here. Highly recommended.

This is where we go when we want to treat ourselves and spend a really special evening with friends or family. It never disappoints. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The food is great and perfect for sharing. We love the yellowtail roll, the fried oysters, the pork ribs - to name only a few. the servers are pleasant, friendly, personable without being intrusive. Secret tip: for some reason it's not on the menu, but they offer sake flights and that's a fun way to try out different ones. Our only problem yesterday, and this was not the fault of the restaurant, was the unruly, extremely shrill, probably drunk group of six people at the neighboring table. It was impossible to converse or even relax. This group should have gone to a bar instead, they were ill-placed in this serene environment and they were super annoying. Fortunately the staff were able to find us a different table and it became a beautiful evening as usual.

The hostess was lovely and found us a table indoors when we realized it was too cold for our son to dine outdoors. Our waiter was great. He was very friendly and professional. The food was delish. I had the beef bourgnigon and my daughter had the gnocchi. My son and husband had the scallops and the bolognese. All the food was hot and delicious. Oh and the cocktails were great too.

Andiamo is just an all around good experience, from service to food to the intimacy of the room. Decent value for the buck spent as well. It is not a resto that one hears a lot about, but it delivers, with out the razzmatazz and the high pricetag.

We 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.
