The Compound offers great food with highlights including scallops and beef tenderloin. It is a dining destination in Santa Fe known for its exceptional quality and culinary artistry. The menu showcases the freshest locally-sourced ingredients, and each dish is thoughtfully crafted, making it a symphony of taste that delights the palate. However, the service may be lacking, with long waits for bread and inappropriate utensils. The atmosphere can be disappointing with tight seating and inadequate background noise. The drinks, like the Cosmopolitan and gin martini, can vary in quality, though the cocktails and wine list are praised. Dishes such as the asparagus soup and opera cake receive mixed reviews. The staff's attention to detail and genuine passion for providing top-notch service enhance the dining experience, making guests feel special. Service is adequate but can be inattentive at times, and the restaurant's manager may be loud and disruptive to the dining experience. Despite these drawbacks, The Compound provides a pleasant experience for groups, with friendly servers. The food, including the fish, lamb, and chicken with truffles, is delicious, and the cozy upscale atmosphere attracts many locals. Overall, The Compound offers a wonderful dining experience, combining culinary innovation with Southwestern hospitality, but there are other equivalent options in Santa Fe with better service and ambience, such as Geronimo or La Casa Sena.
