We had little time before a concert and yet the kitchen managed to produce 3 courses without making it feel rushed. Every dish was great. Lobster bisque, foie gras, crab/scallop risotto were the appetizers, and lobster with thin spaghetti and chili cream sauce was exceptional. Sea bass with mushroom/miso broth was more delicate in flavor and also delicious, both cooked to perfection. Cardamom creme brulee was the best I've ever had.

Market Steer Steakhouse offers a refreshing new take on fine dining, serving up an atmosphere every bit as charming as Chef Kathleen Crook's creative approach to Prime Steak and Regional American Cuisine.

About the restaurant

The name Zacatlán surged from the origins of our chef, Eduardo Rodriguez. He was born in Zacatecas, Mexico (north-central Mexico), which is defined as "the habitants of the land where grass grows". Zacatlán is the nahuatl translation for "land with an abundance of grass", and that is where our idea of Zacatlán Restaurant began.

Zacatlán Restaurant desires to continue to preserve the traditions for our upcoming generations, while bringing forth new flavors. These new flavors incorporate Southwestern and Mexican influences. We are established near the Santa fe Plaza, right off of Guadalupe Street. We want to unveil a new fusion of food for everyone in Santa Fe and those who visit.

We had a great night. I had a special request on seating and it happened flawlessly. We told our server we were headed to the theater and the timing was perfect. They have a magical way of staging the meal. We had plenty of time with our cocktails and then our fabulous and tasty meal including dessert. Two hours later we left. Reminder… do make a reservation. Two couples before us in line did not have one and while they were able to seat them in the bar, it seems to be so much easier to simply reserve.
