    Excellent experience with associates from out of town. Rooftop reservation that Jim GM assembled, and serviced, and Julio V pulled off with a professional touch!

    We had the best server who did a fantastic job at recommending items. Our appetizers were delicious and we're under the happy hour price. Our favorite were the chimichuri steak bites. For our mains we both had steaks. My husband's strip was pure perfection. Lastly for dessert our waiter recommended a goat and cream cheese cheesecake which was absolutely to die for.

    It was the best experience ever! We celebrated my father’s and sister’s birthday. Our server made it a very special moment. She was so attentive and explained everything thoroughly and was such a great experience over all. Food 10/10, environment 10/10, friendly staff 10/10, drinks 10/10, and cleanliness 10/10. Highly recommend

    The Santa Fe Steakhouse lived up to it's reputation as a 1st class restaurant experience. The interior very much is reminanicient of an o p New Mexico Adobe building with tasteful decorations. My wife had shrimp and a twice baked potato in a crust. I had calamari. Their's had chilies and a rather spicy sauce but was delicious. My main course was a rack of lamb, done to perfection with fingerling potatoes green beans and poached peaches. Truly a fine dining experience. Our guests both had ribeye steaks and they looked delicious. I finished up with a 10 year old port. Mario, our waiter, was very attentive but not obtrusive. Ask for him, he'll take great care of your party. My only reservation is that we came for our 20th anniversary. We did let the restaurant know on our reservation. They did nothing special. Had we gone to the Patio on Guerra they would have had a card and special dessert. Nonetheless this was a fine meal in a great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend it for a great meal.
