This is our second time eating here. Brought our out- of-town friends. Love the ambience, food and service (the server worked with us to turn off overhead AC which was too chilly!) Our friends were impressed. This is a little gem of a place that is so different from most eateries in SF. Will be going back again. (We were hoping to eat in the “garden area” but the skies opened up and changed our plan! )
Love love this motel vintage vibes!! Service was excellent,food drinks were amazing and the Shiner club jazz band was amazing!! Loved the mystic vibes though out the motel!! Recommend 10 out of 10!!
My husband and I decided to give The Mystic a try because it was Restaurant Week in Santa Fe and their menu looked like the best value for the menu options. The first course was green chile chicken skewers with a delightful green sauce. I ordered the nacholotes that were tasty but had they roasted the corn it would have been out of this world. My salad was suppose to have goat cheese but came without. Having that bit of tang would have really made the salad not be so try and lacking. We both ordered the rib eye steaks. I ordered my medium rare and it came out well done. However the steak was not tough and it was full of flavor. We ordered an apple tart and chocolate cake for dessert. They brought out a berry tart and a half melted flourless chocolate cake. Both were good but not what we were expecting. Overall the food was good but because it was Restaurant Week we expected more. Definitely would go back to try their regular menu.
It was a restaurant week and I found this place. The service was great and the food was fabulous. My only criticism was the steak was over, but the flavor was still there. It was a great date night kind of place.
We tried The Mystic during restaurant week. The restaurant is very comfortable and lovely decorated. The food and cocktails were great as well as the service was great. We will definitely go back. It is a small place and once the music started it was a little hard to talk with our friends
Attractive, small bar and dining area. Service was slow and drinks were fine. Food was average.
I had made a reservation for that day for a birthday dinner and I was told by the front desk at the hotel the restaurant was closing early. I ask why because I had reservation on that night at 8pm and I show him the email. He responded oh it let you . He was surprised but dint show sympathy or nothing just a small sorry. I bet this was gonna be an amazing birthday night if it was open. I had breakfast there and it was delicious but I was hopping for something better on that night very disappointing that I didn't receive at least a cancelation notice or something. Had to find a place after that at the same night but rather that that my two days staying were great and breakfast was amazing thank you
Me and my family went to desert Cafe cause we were looking for a place to have breakfast on Google. The pictures didn't disappoint so we decided to check it out. At first our waiter was very nice. Until all of a sudden at the end he got very confrontational. Asking why we came there, if it was a birthday, asking us were we're from and why we came. We felt very unwelcome. We understood that it was located in the motel, but they never told us that the cafe was SPECIFICALLY for the guests there. If you ever want to be detective interrogated and unwelcome I fully recommend coming here!!
Also the pictures were misleading we thought there would be more about pastries but the menu there is very limited, with only having 4-5 sweet things on the menu. And only 1 page full of what's recommended.
Never coming back again!!!

We wanted so badly to love this place, the wait staff had no idea about anything on the menu, had no idea when we were served incomplete meals and when we asked where is the rest of the meal she had no idea what we were talking about, the staff was busy chatting to each other to acknowledge us and when we asked for the check we were presented with an option to pay with tip options starting at 22% we can only say that we wish the brunch was as good as the pics on the site look, Santa Fe so needs a great brunch option and we were hoping this would do the trick, not so much...
Found this place kind of by accident, and so glad we did! Delicious food, great service, really cool Southwest vibe.

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I've had in recent memory. The Pig in a Panini was exquisite. I've had a number of iterations of this combo of bacon, fig, pear, and feta and this was above and beyond!

They DID NOT reserve a table for us. Service was poor with two events going on simultaneously. It was terrible and we will never go back.
Overall very good. Service was very slow as there was only one Waiter! Waiter made up for slowness by Ben g very gracious.
Mid century coffee and restaurant
We had the flat bread “Daytripper” flat bread was delicious. A tad spicy.
The Nochotes are also a winner.
Lively joint, they had a DJ, and played a few rounds of bingo.
The affogato churros: the churros were great. Not overly sweet dipped in a semi sweet chocolate. The dipping sauce ( the affogato) not to my liking.
Happy spot.
I would definitely be a regular if lived nearby.

I wanted to like it but after fighting stomach problems all day, it just confirms that I cannot. Service was slow and a friend was forgotten at the table. Drinks were pricey and very weak for the cost. Food tasted ok but for $40 I’d rather have saved my money. I also had to park off site and walk in. Music was insanely loud, which the person taking our reservation beforehand did not notify us of a themed evening. So, I’m not sure what’s happening here but it has potential. It just missed the mark. Also, as somebody that can’t do dairy, my options were limited.
