Note that this is way more than a ‘cafe’. We had an eight person family get together at Santa Fe Café. The atmosphere was perfect for the event. We had a table in the loft area that provided some privacy but we could still enjoy the vibe of the cafe. The group table was serviced well and the food was superb. Having just spent a week in Santa Fe NM, this HH restaurant is true to the spirit of the town it’s named after.

The food is pretty good. It’s a cute place right near the marina.

My husband and I decided to take our teen out for a nice meal while visiting Hilton Head. The restaurant did not impress me at all. The atmosphere is not relaxing at all. The food was good, but the fact that they seated us next to a loud party of 12 made having a conversation almost impossible. The loud talking and screaming across to each other went on our entire meal. It is sad to see people not respect others.

I understand the restaurant wants to make money, but this arrangement was not fair to our table or the small party immediately next to us. The food was seasoned well, and the presentation was well thought out.

Manager: Possibly, plan large groups to dine earlier so each guest can have a good experience.

Food was good, fresh and flavorful, and good service but did not get to experience the atmosphere as we were sitting outside on a patio totally disconnected from the restaurant vibes. Recommend Chimichanga and shrimp tacos for sure. Little too pricey.

Great Mexican with an upstairs patio when it’s nice out. Food was fresh and inspired with different takes on classic dishes. If you’re looking for something different from the usual Mexican this is a nice place. I didn’t drink alcohol anymore but it’s got a nice selection and even had mezcal.

Nice atmosphere and decent food. It’s difficult to gauge these types of restaurants being from the south west. Some times I have to try to be unbiased and really think about he location. This is one of those places. Great food, I had the filet menu with cheese enchilada. I found it tasty. My better half had the southwestern combination plate. She wasn’t too pleased. However she is from Mexico. So a little bias maybe in play here.
Don’t get too hung up in the weeds. Try the filet with enchilada. It was tasty. Also had the pistachio cheese cake. Delicious. All together the bill was about 150.00. Not bad for two. Enjoy.

This place is a great for your Mexican food & beverage cravings. The menu is on the pricier side for the cuisine but the quality, taste and sizes make up for it!

The ribeye burrito is something to write home to mom about. It’s HUGE. The photo is for my ½ portion and it would still feed two people.

The Desert Soup was delightful. Definitely something to share as it could be filling.

The margaritas are delicious but would prefer a bigger glass for the price.

I strongly suggest requesting a downstairs table. The service when upstairs has been of lesser quality compared to being seated downstairs. Despite having a smaller roof top bar, the servers still go downstairs for the drinks. This is the only negative but definitely a constant as we have been going here for over two years. Never miss a trip.

This is by far the worst restaurant experience I’ve had in Santa Fe restaurant in Hilton Head. The waitress showed no interest in asking if we wanted salsa and chips or even if we needed water. She hardly paid any interest at our table to take the order.

I just inquired about the herb-roasted free-range chicken from the review photos, and we ordered shrimp tacos and chicken tacos. However, she brought us a shrimp taco and herb-roasted free-range chicken instead. We pointed out that it wasn’t what we ordered, and she returned with bone-in chicken tacos. They essentially just threw some pieces of herb-roasted chicken into a taco

Even taco filling was quiet disappointing—just small pieces of tomato, no cheese, no lettuce, and scoop of avocado and sourcream. And it was ridiculously expensive. I ended up paying $115 for a meal and I didn’t enjoy at all. I deeply regret spending so much money on this awful experience.

We were able to sit at the chef bar/table and watch chef Dave work his magic! The food, the service and the atmosphere were all outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re visiting the island.

Upon entering, you are greeted by the wonderful smell of N.M. incense, grilled meats & chili! Service was excellent, food & drinks came out in perfect cadence, which is hard to find nowadays! Rachel, our server was amazing. She was attentive, but not intrusive. Highly recommend!
