Hubs planned what we thought was a nice romantic NYE dinner. At $155 a person, with a fixed menu, we thought we made out.

First we arrived and the host had to triple check we had reservations, he handed us the menus and without no drink menu. Took another 15 minutes for our waitress to appear and did not make us feel welcomed. No hi my name is so & so, I will be taking care of you this evening. Joaquin made his guests feel welcomed but not our waitress.

Christina who is providing rhe complimentary champagne was awesome but didnt engaged in small talk as she did with the other tables.

Tatiana was the only one who was attentive and seemed to care about our table.

I had to flag our waitress since she did not ask if we would like a drink other than water. She brought one drink menu in which we took turns making our selection.

Each time our dishes were placed for the wrong person, so I had to exchange the dishes each time with hubby. When our drinks arrived, the runner was trying to deliver it to 2 tables down.

What was interesting is they called my husband a few days ago to confirm our reservation and asked for his credit card to reserve it. They offered two times 5:30 or 8:30. If we failed to show up, we would be charged. A couple shows up at 6:51 and they roll out the red carpet with no issue.

Service was bad and to think, there was all hands on deck to make this night memorable. I do not feel they appreciated our business knowing we could of gone somewhere else.

To think I am latina, and all the employees who were working the floor minus Christina are of latin decent.

I thought the food and the atmosphere were generally okay, and the selection of wines was not only good but reasonably-priced, about 2.5 times retail.

A black cod entree was fine, though a .jamon Serrano starter was disappointing. I am a professional hotelier and restaurateurs, owner of a 5-star resort in Asia, Plantation Bay, “a Real Resort with a Real Spa.” We also serve Jamon Serrano and in addition
Jamon Bellota (the very high-end version of Serrano, to simplify the explanation).

Serrano is a dry, hard ham. What Anasazi served (which if genuinely from Spain must have been alternatively processed to please the USDA) was soft and gummy, somewhat like the texture of Italian Parma ham. It wasn’t bad, but the chef (who the server said was Italian) either didn’t know the difference, or hoped the diners wouldn’t.

For the money, definitely not worth it. The service was good, they were very attentive. It took a while to get our initial drink order but fine afterwards.
It is a cute place, I’d say “Southwest fancy” but the music is TERRIBLE!!! There was a sax player at the entrance and we were across the restaurant and could barely hear. It was basically a guy playing a riff of scales over and over with a simple song smattered in. It was so distracting and unnecessary, especially since they still had background music on. Please do not have live “music” in a venue like that when there isn’t space for it with such a loud instrument. It was very pretty otherwise, a nice mix of southwestern minimal but gawd awful music ruined it all.
We asked for chips and guac which was technically a bar item but they were kind enough to bring some. The guac and salsa was so good!!
The octopus starter was fresh even for a landlocked state and flavorful. It was perfectly charred, highly recommend if you like octopus.
The risotto was wonderful. It’s not only a good vegetarian option, it’s a good option for us carnivores too! The dish is deceivingly small, the portion is plentiful and filling. It has a nice consistency and well spiced. The corn is a nice addition giving it a good southwestern spin on risotto. Highly recommend
Salmon-no. It was dry, overcooked, and oddly seasoned. The seasonings were “big” so it overpowered the salmon. But, it doesn’t really matter because it wasn’t cooked well at all. I suppose that’s what I get for ordering salmon in NM. The skin char was good but cancelled out by a very overcooked fish. I think if it weren’t so overcooked it would’ve been better.
Drinks-meh. Portions were not even remotely enough for the price. The coffee cocktail (I forgot the name) would be much better if it was served up, not on the rocks. The watermelon marg was nice, not sweet at all, had a Tajin rim which paired well with the marg itself but would be much better with a cucumber garnish to bring out the cucumber flavoring. Mine had a massive mint sprig (like a ton!) in mine but my cousin’s didn’t. I don’t know if I had a mint garnish and shouldn’t or hers should’ve and didn’t, but there should not be a mint garnish on a marg. It detracted from the flavor and the pour was very small. None of them were worth upwards of $18 or more.

We stumbled into this place because we didn’t want to wait two hours somewhere else, we should’ve waited and spent under $200 for great food and it $300 for meh.

We and another couple had dinner here last night. The wine sommelier was awesome but our waiter Joaquin truly acted as if he didn’t want to be there at all. His attitude was absolutely terrible he could have cared less about our dinner and dining experience it was so bad it was almost comical. The steak was fine and the sea bass was decent. The tres leches desert was terrible and straight out of a grocery store freezer. Better options in town so I would probably pass on this place as it isn’t bad but it isnt a great value for the dollar spent. Atmosphere is nice and food is decent but the service needs improvement.

Excellent dinner. Have loved this chef’s food for many years and glad he found a new home. Food superb. Especially the smoked salmon arancini. I was very sad he didn’t bring his team with him. Only one waiter for a Saturday night so restaurant not filled (should have been). The gracious sommelier was helping to take orders and serve. He’s too good of a chef to not have an incredible support staff. Our waiter did a fine job but nothing like his team when he was at Sassella.

Wow! The food was fantastic. We had the bison steak and the chicken. Just perfect… everything was cooked precisely and tasted delicious. The vegetables were exceptionally well cooked and the meat was very good. Drinks were refreshing. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable and relaxing to sit in. The only downside was that the service was a little slow, but the wait staff checked in regularly and asked about food allergies before we ordered.

I, and four friends joined me for lunch at The Anasazi Restaurant. We all ordered the Fish Tacos. As another Local Guide mentioned (but alas I only just saw her review), these were the blandest fish tacos any of us had ever eaten. The sauces added nothing. One was red, one was green. Neither had any particular zing. We were all very disappointed. How can you screw up fish tacos? At least the ingredients were fresh. The service was good and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant. We could actually hear each other converse.

Really beautiful food, attentive service, great drinks (the vodka martini was excellent), and an atmosphere that was conducive to being able to have conversations easily.

We always like having a cocktail at the bar when we visit Santa Fe. Thr experience this time was only fair. The bartender had no personality and when I asked for a New York Sour he didn’t know how to make it. He said he could try if I told him what was in it. I expected more. We had two drinks and wandered over to the restaurant. The food was amazing, but the service was subpar. I had to ask for a black tea refill and got something that was not tea, maybe an Arnold Palmer. The waiter never checked back to see how our dinner was and he just seemed like he would rather be anywhere else. Sad, when you pay a lot for the food and drinks and the experince was below average.

The Jamon was lovely, my cocktail was poorly crafted. The lamb loin was ordered med rare but came raw and medium well in pieces…not very fresh and little flavor. Service was indifferent except for the host who was pleasant. A very expensive meal that was not up to par.
