Kellyn Carlson
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.

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

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!

Charming atmosphere. Good for a birthday party or anniversary or any special event. Menu was surprising with unusual pairings.

We dined at SantaCafe during the Santa Fe Wine and Chili Fiesta. It had been severalyears 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 definitelygo back next time we travel to Santa Fe!

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.

Gorgeous outdoor courtyard, and classy indoor space. Pricey but good food and good portion sizes.

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 atmosphere was amazing, and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed a wonderful salmon that was prepared very well. Greg was our server and went above and beyond and even took a minute to get to know us.

The lobster roll was delicious. We love sitting at the bar to eat and the ambiance at Santacafe is great. I cannot say enough about the bartender who was our server. She made excellent recommendations for wines to go with my appetizer and a different one for my entree. I have forgotten her name but she moved from NYC to Santa Fe. Her service was impeccable and such a delight to talk with!!!!
