Frommer's Review

This reincarnation of one of Santa Fe's classic restaurants serves some of the most flavorful and daring food in town. Inside, it's an elegant old adobe with white walls often offset by bold splashes of flowers. Outside, during warm months, a broad patio shelters diners from the city bustle. With friendly, efficient service, this is an excellent place for a romantic dinner or a relaxing lunch. Chef and owner Mark Kiffin, after nearly eight years as chef at Coyote Café, lets his creativity soar. For lunch, monkfish chorizo with watercress is outrageously tasty. At dinner, you might start off with tuna tartare topped with Osetra caviar. For an entree, a signature dish is the grilled beef tenderloin with Italian potatoes and foie gras hollandaise. Finish with a bittersweet chocolate torte. A carefully selected beer and wine list accompanies the menu.
