I have been going to restaurants in Santa Fe for many years and I have to say this week had one of the best meals ever at Terra Cotta. The food was outstanding. We had the octopus as an appetizer and it was THE best I have ever had-octopus with humus and sausage - amazing flavors. For entrees I had the scallops which were served with a lobster tail and were absolutely amazing. My wife had the tuna which was cooked to perfection. We finished with a wonderful tiramisu dessert....

We discovered the restaurant while walking to the O'Keefe Museum and decided to try it for dinner. We were very pleased with the food and the service. The duck was terrific and perfectly cooked. For dessert, they substituted a mango sorbet for the strawberry. It was fantastic and should be on the menu as well! The presentations of both courses were beautiful.

The waiter was very cordial and service was great.

We highly recommend...
