    Amazing meal! My wife had the fresh trout and I had the pork chop. Both were cooked to perfection. A great experience with tremendous service. A gem near the heart of Santa Fe.

    Great patio dining for brunch. Luminaria Benedict is delicious and quite filling. The addition of corn to the meal is a nice touch.

    We had a party of 5 and the place was not busy at all. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but it took a half hour to get drinks and an hour to get food. My caprese sandwich was fine but others were disappointed in their meals.

    Been coming here for decades. Never dissappoints! Didn’t live the non traditional bread pudding seasoning but risk you take by trying new things.

    Steaks were overcooked unfortunately. Ambience was great, presentation was great. Nice restaurant. Just overcooked steaks, which I’m sure were just a bad draw for the day and easily fixable.

    My wife enjoyed the airline chicken and wedge salad. I had the blackened salmon and liked it and green chili risotto. We topped off our dinner with the flour less chocolate torte which was delicious. Service was attentive and great throughout our meal.

    We have dined here many times and always enjoyed it. The service and ambiance were both great once more. But the food was disappointing. We ordered a salad with salmon, and the salmon portion was probably less than 3 oz. The bread appetizer was six pieces of one type of bread - ok but nothing special for $8. The swordfish special was very good, but again a small portion. When we arrived, we wondered why the patio was so empty. After our meal we understood why people are going elsewhere.
