My friend who lives in Santa Fe described this as one of the best restaurants. It was certainly one of the most over priced. We were shocked that the arugula salads we ordered had a fried onion ring stuck on top. The waiter told us that the chef had just acquired fresh morel mushrooms from Oregon which influenced our choice of the braised veal osso bucco for the main course. Well, sadly, the morel mushrooms were coated and fried which totally destroyed the flavor and made them almost unrecognizable. The cous cous (supposedly Israeli but more like Palestinian) was bland as were the fava and peas mixed in. The osso bucco was tender and seasoned well.The waiter was friendly and did his best to compensate for a $200 meal (including wine) that was barely worth half of that amount. We doubt we would return.
Pros: Interesting but expensive wine list
Cons: Uncomfortable bench seats and see below
