Sister restaurant to Coyote Cafe, upon Carlos' recommendation from Coyote we visited for lunch. We were waiting to be seated and the bartender came over with a small refreshing beverage for us. We enjoyed the Caesar, the pasta of the day with chicken, calamari, and Lobster Rolls and loved it all. I had amazing cocktail as well. Loved it would go back in a heartbeat.

Gave my pregnant girlfriend food poisoning last night. She thinks her lobster was undercooked. We had the Valentine's day menu last night with my Uncle and Aunt. It's very upsetting that we paid over $600 and now my pregnant girlfriend is vomiting and has extreme diarrhea. Not to mention it took a very long time for them to seat us, take our order and bring out each course. The service wasn't horrible, but we were waiting for everything a lot longer than we should have. Food looked delicious, but was a little too bland for my tastes. The quality and untimely service didn't match the price

Wandered in after getting a little bit lost downtown one evening- and found the greatest spot! Fabulous bar, wonderful food- attention to detail is amazing. One of our new faves for sure!!

We dined at SantaCafe during the Santa Fe Wine and Chili Fiesta.  It had been several years since we were there ... It was as good as ever!  The draft cocktail menu is amazing, every one we tried was exceptional.  The complimentary cornbread stick and butter was divine!  Stuffed squash blossoms ruled the first course of the meal ... sublime!  The fish and beef entrees rocked, and the dessert was out of this world.  We will definitely go back next time we travel to Santa Fe!

Amazing experience, wonderful service and delicious food. The apple acorn squash soup flavor was so unique and just perfect. I didn't get a picture of the soup but trust me it is the best. My wife got Vietnamese Lobster which she is now in love with. I got the bolognese and it was some of the best pasta I've had in Santa Fe. The Lemon cake comes with a marmalade that is out of this world. Update, I recently ate here again and got the filet. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly, but the suprise was the celery root puree. I was doubtful about ordering but it complimented the beef perfectly.

It's a nope. First time to Santa Fe. We arrived at 5 pm on a Monday for our 5 pm reservation. As soon as we were seated, I used the restroom located next to the bar. There are 3 single restrooms there. I walked in and a female server was in there using the restroom and she did not lock the door. Strike 1. Then I came back to the table and ordered a Tempranillo wine. The waiter delivered a savignon blanc to me. Strike 2. I told him that was not mine. The sweet corn breadsticks (complimentary) were delicious. The sweet pea salad was awesome, as were the pork dumpling appetizers. The filet mignon was terrible. Strike 3. First of all, the steak was too salty. We travel and eat out a lot and I know too salty when I taste it. They just ruined a $54 steak. Also, it tasted like pine needles! (Rosemary?) Then the sauce it was sitting on was completely cold. The potato gratin tasted like an old shoe. I couldn't even eat it. The asparagus was tough and not tasty. We would never dine here again.

Our lunch today was very good. But I have to say. The service was topnotch, the best we have experienced in a long time! Thank you for such a pleasant experience!

What stood out was the staff, Leo you provided A+++++ service. Give this guy a pay raise!! We had the half roasted chicken and bolognese, very yummy. Also had the Calamari however a bit too greasy. The ambiance of the restaurant felt cozy and relaxing. It was a great experience.

We have had many memorable meals at SantaCafe starting 25 years ago. Meals on the patio w friends are never a disappointment. The service is always perfect with enough attention but not too much, the food no matter what we’ve selected, always prepared perfectly and in creative and interesting ways. There’s a reason that this place is a Santa Fe institution. Having a modest place on the monetary continuum, we cannot go there as often as we would like, but when we do it is the perfect experience for the dollars spent. You won’t be disappointed.

We had an absolutely incredible evening at Santacafe. We were a large group of 6 celebrating my best friends bachelorette party and the staff was just wonderful ❤️! They had such a welcoming and accommodating energy. Everything we ate was delicious and the cocktails were amazing.

We were there recently to celebrate my companion’s birthday. It wasn’t our first time being there. As past experience, all the staff were highly trained and professional. Courteous and efficient. The food was excellent as expected. They surprised us by putting a candle on the dessert. It’s always the little touch that makes things special. We certainly will find reasons to go back there.

Charming atmosphere. Good for a birthday party or anniversary or any special event. Menu was surprising with unusual pairings. Wait staff was quite attentive. All the dishes we ordered (and they are a bit pricey) were presented in a very appetizing manner. The sea bass piece was slightly smaller than expected. But the burger was quite large. Dessert was exquisite. This restaurant is worthy of several visits.

We love this restaurant. The food is always superb and beautifully served and the staff is friendly and helpful. Maggie's pasta is the best we've had and for dessert, it would be hard to beat the lemon cake. There is a wonderful outdoor patio area for when the weather is nice.

Pricey but worth it for the bolognese! Santa Fe might be going through a bit of a workforce issue, but you wouldn’t know it here as the service was prompt and friendly. Nice selection of wines to go with your meal and some inventive cocktails.

Wow!! 5 Stars!! If you are in Santa Fé check this place out! The sashimi scallops!! So light and tender!! The calamari was decent and the aoli and the side sauce yum! The crab cakes had a lot of filler, but that sauce for the crab cakes was out of the park good. The dumplings went down before I could try them. Homemade caesar salad dressing and crostini croutons. The highlight was the filet and the lamb. Wow!! Off the chart delicious. Seasoned to perfection. That mint yogurt was smooth and cheesy. The couscous was excellent. There was a chili sauce underneath that was excellent. The filet was high quality. It was one of the best asparagus preparations I've had. The pureed mushroom was very good also. The deserts were excellent also. That lemon marmalade!!!

What a lovely patio. The ambiance enhanced the experience. Food was delicious, however my sparkling wine cocktail, though tasty, was not worth the $16 for 6 ounces of anticipated joy. I would have to agree with Bianca C. An air of snobbery does exist!!

What a beautiful and special Mother's Day brunch experience we had! The food was outstanding, the patio ambiance lovely, and the service impeccable. Santa Cafe's consistency can always be counted on. It is a great restaurant and in Santa Fe where a person should never have a bad meal, it is a top contender!

Very nice service and atmosphere. Too bad you cannot reserve outside tables. The lobster rolls are not traditional. They are served warm with claw meat rather than cold with tail meat. I like mine better…the salmon and filet were both lovely but the sides are a bit underwhelming…slightly under seasoned. Still overall good experience…the strawberry rhubarb star anise sparkling wine thing….surprisingly nice

This was the best dining experience we had in Santa Fe! They are a fabulous place to have a celebration like a birthday (complimentary sparkling wine). We didn’t have one thing that wasn’t exactly what we expected. The corn bread was the best unexpected surprise. I would recommend the tartare and bolognese papardelle. The city different cocktail tasted like fresh cranberries that you could easily drink 3 of them. Highly recommend this place. Parking out back.

The service was outstanding! Staff were so professional and efficient. I had the salmon appetizer and it was perfect...loved the pop of caviar on top. My friend had the Butternut squash soup and it was delicious. For dinner I had the miso cured cod, which was very moist and tender, but had no flavor. It was overpowered by the fruity sweet sauce that was served with it. It didn't pair well for me, but others may like it. Everyone else in our party loved their dishes. The drinks were on point as well. Overall it was a lovely dining experience and I will return to try other dishes.

My partner and I were blown away with the food and service at Santacafe. Our waiter, Edgar, went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary, giving me a taste of the soup ahead of ordering it, making the perfect wine pairing with our dessert, and seemed to genuinely care about our experience. I ate the chicken thighs for dinner and they were honestly the best most juicy pieces of chicken I’ve ever had. When the bill came I wish we could have experienced the night all over again. Highly recommend!

Met an old friend for drinks, went over their closing time but the staff were kind enough to let us take our time to end our mini get together. Amazing service and the martinis were strong!

OMG - the lobster rolls were awesome! Sorry, no picture. I had the salmon. Wife had the steak. Both were excellent. Service was 5 star.
