6 Best Thai Restaurants in Santa Fe

“Definitely the best meal we have had in Santa Fe so far! And one of the best Thai meals we’ve had anywhere! Right up there with Fish cheeks and zaab zaab In NYC. Trust them when they say it’s spicy!!! Can’t wait to come back.“

“The best food in Santa Fe! Generous portions. I usually take pictures, but it was too good and I was hungry! The next time I go I'll snap some.“

“Exceptional food. Always cooked just right. It may be take out but it is much better than 95% of the restaurants in Santa Fe.“

“We visited here to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary and it was the highlight of our evening.

Aesthetics- This is an amazingly beautiful place. They took the idea of a glamorous speakeasy and executed it to perfection. The piano player contributed to the mood, playing at the perfect volume to allow us to enjoy both the music and our conversations. Even the staff’s dress alluded to the theme.

Food and Drinks - Though some menu items were pricey, others were much more reasonable. The portion sizes were generous enough that we felt sated (not like some other fancy Santa Fe restaurants where we needed to get fast food later to fill up 😉) The drink selection was varied and the cocktails were inspired. The cocktails which my husband and I ordered were artfully done, and tasted like the descriptions in the menus, while still providing a nice buzz. (I hate when I order a drink based on the description but then can only taste the alcohol!) We ate the Fritto Misto, Truffle Gouda Pasta with shrimp, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Each was impressive and delicious. We ordered the pomme d’oro for dessert; it was delightful in both presentation and flavor.

Service - Extremely thoughtful and attentive. I asked for water and they offered “sparkling, still or tap”. I asked for still; and though they left the bottle at the table, we never once had to refill our own glasses, they ensured the glasses were never empty. The waitress helped me select a cocktail, and graciously allowed us to finish our appetizer and cleared the plate before our entrees were brought to us. (This is not always our experience when dining out.) Later, our remaining food was taken to the back to be boxed and bagged before being returned to us. We dine out frequently, and lament that good service is so rare in Santa Fe, our hometown. But the service at Gatsby’s was impeccable!

Final Thoughts - I love having a reason to get all dolled up, and am so glad to have a place like Gatsby’s which is worthy of my best efforts! 😘. My husband prefers to dress casually but did wear a collared button up shirt with his jeans. There is no dress code for Gatsby’s, they welcome you as you are. But putting on something nice (and forcing my husband to do it) contributed to our enjoyment of this fabulous place. After such an exquisite experience, we plan to return.“

“Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner! Your food and service were both excellent!! We were so pleased. We’ll be back!!“

“The Pad Thai is DELICIOUS!!! I Love spicy food, so ordering Thai Hot is 🔥💯🔥💯🔥. Definitely Recommend!“
