    My wife cherished every moment of her birthday dinner, enjoying the delicious array of dishes around her. The highlight of the evening was the warm apple pie, bursting with flavor and topped with a scoop of creamy ice cream—just the way she loves it! The celebration was filled with laughter and joy, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

    Our food was delicious as usual and Steven our waiter was good. Issy, the assistant was phenomenal. She realized my knife needed to be replaced to cut my protein and replaced it without any request from me. We actually saw her more often than our waiter and she made our evening delightful.

    The variety of options for Sat/Sunday brunch are quite nice! Very tasty, nice presentation and great service. We sat on the patio n for a bit and then inside. Great views outside and nice ambience inside. I was last here 15 years ago and the property is well maintained and a beautiful blend of New Mexican with some modern touches. Great blend of traditional and new. We will return sooner than 15 years!
