Found this place from watching Jenni competing on Food Network. This place did not disappoint. We had great service and plenty of food. It was not an exaggeration when our server said the dessert menu was extensive. The entire menu provided plenty of options.

The Love Apple was such a warm, intimate, cozy experience overall. It felt like we were dining inside someone’s home, and we were instantly transported into a mellow and inviting space. Candlelit dinner and only warm lights. Food was incredible - we started with the endives/leeks and seasonal special mussels. The mussels were amongst the best we’ve had - juicy, plump, smooth. Now, let me get to the main course - the bison steak with red chile au gratin poh-tay-toes was something truly extraordinary. These potatoes were noteworthy, nay - shout from the heavens-above good! The bison steak - perfectly cooked. The lamb chops, succulently tender and exquisite - atop a cool light cheese and caramelized cabbage. Not to mention the dessert - we had the special NY cherry cheesecake and the raspberry tart. We did not speak to one another for several minutes. Chef Jenny is. a. goddess. We will be back.

Love Apple more than lived up to the hype. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and uniquely Taos—beautifully rustic without feeling pretentious. The staff was friendly and genuinely knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations and making the whole evening feel relaxed and unhurried.
Every dish was incredibly fresh and so well balanced. You can really taste the care that goes into the ingredients. The flavors were creative without being over the top, and everything felt perfectly seasonal. It’s one of those meals where you want to slow down and savor every bite.
It’s definitely a place you plan ahead for, but it’s absolutely worth it. If you’re in Taos and want a memorable dining experience, Love Apple is a must.

One of the best restaurants in the U.S. 3 of my top meals of my 82 year life have been at Love Apple. Superb sides. Wild meats are outstanding.

This place was recommended by a friend so we called a few weeks in advance for a reservation and received a call back a few days later. The service, food and atmosphere were all perfect. The cocktails were creative twists on classics. It was hard to decide what to order because everything sounded so good. We had the corn muffins, mushrooms, duck, and sea bass and would easily order them all again. We hope to make it back again sometime if we’re visiting Taos.

Upset because the server threw away my steak before I was done, and when I asked the staff, they just shrugged. I was definitely not done, probably $20 worth of steak tossed.

Incredible experience! Like visiting Europe in Taos!
We have been loyal customers of Love Apple for years, but after tonight we will never be back. We had a reservation for 7:30 and arrived at 7:25. They told us it would “just be a few minutes” at 7:30. We continued waiting and waiting and waiting…We were patiently waiting for over 30 minutes and when we asked them when our table would be ready, they told us to leave
What a gem! We were visiting Taos and decided to try this restaurant for dinner. Luckily we were able to get a reservation.
In the dark, very hard to find. But once you find it, the ambience of the restaurant is beautiful and inviting. Service is attentive and prompt. Food was out standing, especially sea bass. A must try. For appetizers, We had the corn bread, which the restaurant is known for, and grilled mushroom - savory and well flavored. Our second entree was the duck dish with mole. The duck was well cooked and prepared.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and time at the Love Apple.

The place was more expensive than Ahi, and didn't taste as good. You can probably do better.
