My fiance and I went here for our last dinner in Taos. This is a cute little quaint Fine dining restaurant located in One of the hotels walking distance from the Blake Hotel.  Highly encourage making reservations as they can get busy pretty fast!

We started off with the cheese plate and Caesar salad. I am big on Cheese plates and charcuterie boards and have had quite a variety, and this is probably the most disappointing cheese plate I’ve ever had in my life. Feel free to reference my photos, we essentially got four thinly sliced pieces of cheese cut into further smaller pieces. I was very disappointed, and an embarrassing plate to present – photo speaks for itself. Our server just got sat with 3 tables back to back so she didn’t get the chance to check in with us regarding the apps.

Although off to a bad start I was pleasantly surprised and happy with our main dishes! I ordered the Scottish salmon, the fish was nicely crisp on a bed of crispy rice surrounded by a tasty Vietnamese yellow curry. My fiance ordered the steak and fritz, he said his steak is slightly over cooked but overall very tasty and ate every bite. I think it was the manager or similar checked in with us regarding our meal to see how everything was, I explain to her my disappointment and the cheese plate, she appreciated the feedback and gave us a small discount.

Had our favorite meal of the week here! We sat at the bar (because the lighting in the main area was just a little too bright). Our bartender, Oscar, was great and friendly. We split the kale Caesar, meatballs, and the steak. All of which were incredible. I can’t get the photos to add, but trust!

Great place with fast and friendly service and a good range of available dishes including flank steaks and filets and salmon and a range of local beers on draft. Generous portions and protein is cooked well and seasonings are good.

“Fine” dining? That would at least imply better than the mediocre, expensive, terribly drawn-out process of getting dinner here. My party of 4 was seated at a very uncomfortable high-top table at 7:30 and we didn’t make it out of there til 9:10. The server only stopped by our table every 15 minutes or so and had to be told we wanted to order food or refills on empty water glasses. The hot chocolate tasted like it was just a packet with water added – the Bavarian has a much better recipe. The service here was exceedingly slow and inadequate. There were only 4 other parties there but when our food came out, it was one dish at a time as if the kitchen had no clue our 4 dishes went together… so the food was cold! The pasta was not very exciting either. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant was the hot caprese dip, which was delicious… but OF COURSE only came with about 1/3 the amount of bread you’d need to eat it as a dip! When I asked for more bread to finish the dip, the waitress acted like it was a big deal that they would charge more for bread. I was like seriously… we’ve been out of bread and this dip has been getting cold for 15 minutes and you haven’t even walked by once. Anywho, highly do not recommend this place. Go to Taos Ale House instead! Eat their wonderful pizza. Blonde Bear is definitely a no-go.

Incredible food and great location after our family went sledding. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The kids were SO happy with their food which was a huge hit for us because we have some picky eaters. The vibe is very nice and relaxing with elegance and warmth. We cannot wait to visit again soon.

I just had Huevos Rancheros on Sun. It was outstanding. The service staff were attentive, the portion was good. I’ve had Huevos Rancheros at a lot of places, it is top notch there. The outside seating was also really nice.
