New American Restaurants in Santa Fe, NM

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

“This is a mixed review. Jospeh is a formidable chef, but the restaurant itself is run down, chairs uncomfortable, noise level excessive and service sketchy. Some of our food (Duck confit pad thai and mixed mushrooms) was excellent, but the watermelon gazpacho was way too heavy on the garlic, and my husband couldn't eat it. Tuna tartare was mediocre and overpriced. Waitress couldn't stop asking how things were "TASTING", but didn't wait for an answer! Building should probably be condemned and the decor is falling apart.“

“Our dinner for two was outstanding. The noise in the main dining room bothered my hearing aids (my fault - not theirs) and the staff was delighted to move us to an area at the bar that was less noisy. (Also - we love sitting at bars. We get to talk to interesting people! ) The Food, wine, service weee excellent. Make a reservation and enjoy!“

“Excellent food and service, I had the banana bread french toast that was so flavorful no syrup needed. My husband had the burrito and loved it. The coffee was sourced from Kenya and was constantly refilled needless to say the service was suburb. Highly recommend“

“Wonderful experience! The food was outstanding- flatiron steak was delicious and the trout was amazing. Mixed greens light and fresh. The service was outstanding. Everyone was super attentive but not too much- just the right amount. They have the timing and cadence down to perfection.“

“The evening was pure perfection. From checking in to the soft caramel candy. My steak was the best I've had in a long time. The mushroom appetizer is definitely worth ordering again. The staff was attentive and funny. We'll be back.“

“We sat on the patio which was delightful. The Annex was on standby if the threatening rain came, and it did not. The entire staff were friendly, enjoying their work and seemed proud of where they were. Very gracious service. Our servers excellent, explaining the menu and describing wines. Excellent in every detail.“

“Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Hooked my 82 yr old mom up with Brit for Reflexology & O2 while my sisters and I cruised downtown Santa Fe. Win-win! Mom’s feeling great & we got some extra steps in. Life is good ���“

“I had the chicken fried steak breakfast special. $13.75 for the steak smothered in green, , hash browns, two eggs, and two biscuits with gravy. Half for brunch and half I took home for dinner. What a excellent value, plus it was super tasty and well- prepared. We love this place!“

“Lovely evening: delish cocktails, tasty appetizers, terrific dinner & dessert. Wonderful service -- attentive & friendly.“

“We had wonderful dinner and outstanding service. The table side guacamole was terrific, a gentleman came around and made sure our water was refilled and my iced tea on a regular basis. Our waiter was attentive and very pleasant. Overall a great dining experience. We'll be back on our next visit to Santa Fe!“

“San Fran was a very nice place and we had great service. I had the ribs which were a little overdone for me. However, we had a party of six and all other members tried other dishes. All were appealing and nobody had complaints. I would go back again and try something else without hesitstion.“

“Great meal- Friendly and Interactive Wait staff. Fresh salad, hand cut french fries, juicy and delicious burgers and a wonderful menu of available drinks! GF options ( including fresh hamburger buns) and the dog friendly patio were key! If you are near Santa Fe this is a MUST TRY! ( Oh and the prices were incredible)!!!“

“Excellent service and food in a lovely setting. Superb wine list too!“

“Lovely Easter Brunch Midtown Bistro. First time going in. Its an absolutely lovely space. The acoustics were perfect to be able to have conversations and not be overwhelmed. Brandon Martinez was our server and though busy was still attentive and kind. Careful to ask questions about the dishes we were ordering and giving recommendations. Expansive wine list and my mom did a spicy bloody Mary cocktail that she enjoyed. Patio looked lovely and they had live music. Food was delicious and fresh. My Mom says its the best calamari shes ever had and we grew up on the coast. So mucho compliments on that. I got the salmon and risotto which was delicious and filling. My Dad got the Huevos Rancheros and my mom did the Arugula salad. Plenty of parking. Two thumbs up from us. We are already planning another meal out. Want to try their lamb for dinner.“

“Truly! I am basking in the experience of eating their amazing food. As a vegetarian, it can often be disappointing to order a tofu dish. But I ordered their special Rueben Tofu sandwich and wow! It was to die for. I'm seriously trying to think if I can make one at home half as food. Also, butternut soup, amazing. Beet salad...so good. Everything. Incredible! Rarely do I have a dining experience like this. It makes me want to consider moving to Santa Fe. I wish these guys would write a cookbook. If you're a foodie or a vegetarian, this place is magical. ✨✨✨“

“Hello Hawt Pizza:
I am writing to let you know about a great experience my husband and I had at the Low N' Slow Bar in Santa Fe, NM where we ordered Hawt Pizza. It was great because of the chef baking the pizza - Paul Kokalis! He made amazing pizzas. We ordered the El Norton and it was fantastic. It was so good we came back the next evening for more. This is saying a lot when you are in Santa Fe, lots of good restaurants there! But we chose to come back for Paul's pizza. He was personable, professional, and a great chef! Kudos to Paul. He deserves any promotions possible!
Sincerely - Dana from Albuquerque“

“The room I had has a nice fireplace and was very clean. The employees were very friendly and helpful. It's pet friendly. I would defiantly stay here again.“

“Beautiful setting, but if you are going to charge THIRTY TWO DOLLARS for a chicken Caesar salad, literally a few pieces of Romaine and a small chicken breast, you should at least try to make sure that the chicken is fresh and grilled and juicy, not sad and dry and overcooked.“

“Nice and Cozy. Heater was Greay“

“Great food, quiet, nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“We are here at Vinaigrette in Albuquerque, NM. Fantastic place to eat!!! Our first time. We are from Sacramento, CA. We had the duck tacos, gumbo soup and the duck arugula with creamy goat cheese…super tasty!!! Love the decor, it was bright, relaxing and cheery at the same time. Our waiter, Christopher, was super!!! He was cheerful, polite, very interesting person to talk to, had some wonderful info about Old Town, and overall good guy!!! Thank you Christopher for making our dining experience lovely!!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!! Beth & Emre“

“Fabulous hotel! Wonderful staff!“

“The mocktail mule, Juliarita, bread service, burrata, and poke nachos were all awesome!!! Service was great 👍! The steak frites were pretty good, too many overcooked shoestring fries though. The patio was beautiful, plenty of shade and gorgeous plants -even huge butterflies flying overhead. We will definitely be back!“

“A very rural but stylish place for breakfast/brunch !“

“Alex is the best! He remembered my order from 3 months ago. The bacon bleu burger with onion cloud and sweet potato fries was delicious! Enjoyed an early NYE at happy hour...Y'all are awesome!“

“Luminaria is always short staffed, or this is the structure it has set. Therefore it was impossible yesterday for any of us to have a second cup of coffee at brunch. It is embarrassing to keep asking. I love Luminaria, the menu is varied, the food is OK , and the ambiance is wonderful. But the service - I am sorry but cannot recommend it any longer. Unless one orders a pot of coffee; a carafe of iced tea; and on and on. I hate to say this but must alert future diners.“

“I was a little hesitant because of some of the reviews, but ignore the bad ones! We had brunch here and the food was delicious and full of flavor. I had the New Mexico Omelet and loved it (careful if you aren't use to spicy). Pancakes were awesome, even the potato side that comes with some plates were very good. Service was perfect, VERY friendly and sweet staff. The food arrived in the perfect time, no issues there. We highly recommend this gem.“

“Appetizers and desserts were both great - loved the whipped feta and the chocolate mousse. My salad left a little bit to be desired; I could have overdressed some spinach and goat cheese at home. We put in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and no one ever asked about it. Overall great ambience and beautiful view.“

“We had an excellent experience at Red Sage so I don’t understand the complaints by others. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was all very well done and the prices are typical of this setting. Our NY strip steaks were done perfectly and came with a nice sauce, the shrimp cocktail was excellent, our friends had shrimp scampi they enjoyed greatly. The wine list is nice though I do wish they had more choices ‘by the glass.’ We did find nice wines by the glass and the bottle selection was good. Also have to give a shout out to the bartender who was hardworking and friendly, he took great care of us. Overall, a very delightful experience.“
