Santacafé

"What a amazing experience! Jeremy and Ky were such fantastic servers, truly so knowledgeable about the menu and hospitable. We initially were seated outside, however the chairs were too close together. The manager kindly moved us inside to a different and more comfortable setting. The food wasn’t normal- it was exquisitely beautiful. My favorite personally was the perogi, something made out of just potatoes, cheese and onions made me close my eyes. The salad with the fig purée was delicious, the beef was spectacular, and the sundae was great. We took the toffee date to go and I personally liked it better. All I can say to conclude is MAKE THE RESERVATION, you won’t regret it. This was by far the best restaurant i’ve had in not only in Santa Fe, but my life. Thank you, Santacafe!"

"What an amazing dinner we had last night! I was joined by my husband and 8 year old son. santacafe was remarkable! We are big foodies and it did not disappoint! From fantastic food to excellent service! Gorge was superb! He made the entire evening on point! We will be back!"

"Delicious food! Our server Jorge was so wonderful. Gave us the BEST recommendations and was very attentive. Thanks Jorge!! We got four cocktails and they were are pretty delicious. Our favorite was "What Q is having" which was recommended by Jorge. We ordered the morel special appetizer & it went well with the house focaccia. My husband got the lamb which came with couscous and I got the beef bourguignon. Both dishes were big on flavor, well tied together to the general theme of the dish, and presented beautifully. We got the opera torte to share for dessert and it was perfect. I'd go back to try the red velvet one as well. It was a cute date night 💖"

"Very cool location near Santa Fe Plaza. Highly recommend. The Banana Pudding Sundae was the single best dessert I have ever had - followed closely by the Toffee Date Cake. Amazing service. Special thanks to Jeremy for the Elk Carpaccio (:"

"We wanted to love Santa Cafe — the atmosphere is charming and the reputation well-earned — but our experience fell a bit short, particularly in the entrée execution. To begin with the positives: the service was excellent. Jeremy took wonderful care of us, thoughtfully guiding us through diet-appropriate options and providing warm, attentive service throughout the evening. He was a highlight of our visit. The cocktails were excellent and the appetizers showed promise. The pear and burrata salad was visually striking and genuinely enjoyable. The house Caesar, while flavorful, was dressed far too heavily — the components were fresh and appealing, but the balance was overwhelmed by the dressing. Where the evening faltered was the main course. We shared the beef bourguignon, which arrived beautifully presented; however, the meat was room-temperature and surprisingly under-seasoned. Of the four pieces we received to split, one was entirely fat — unexpected and disappointing for a dish at this level. In all, Santa Cafe offers gracious service and a lovely setting, with appetizers that hint at excellence. With more attention to balance in the Caesar and especially to temperature, seasoning, and quality of cuts in the entrée, this could be a truly exceptional dining experience. We hope to return and find it living up to its celebrated reputation."
