Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Santa Fe

Our dinner was delicious. We had a Christmas prefix dinner and the choices were outstanding. Something for everyone. The restaurant itself is charming. Warm and cozy. We liked it so much we booked another reservation that night.

Nothing but praise for the food and staff of the Agave!

We love Pranzo's, the family-owned and operated restaurant which is conveniently located 3 blocks from the Santa Fe plaza and offers some of the best Italian food in town! Their cozy lounge features exposed vigas & cove ceiling, generous windows (which bring in lots of natural light), and a beautiful bar which had ongoing traffic the day we were there but not so crowded and not so loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation. Upon arrival, our friendly maitre' d greeted us and logged in our reservation, then promptly prepared a high top table for lunch. Fresh bread, olive oil, and a classic Caesar salad were perfect starters; we then enjoyed a dish of Ravioli and one of Spagettini Nonna, both of which were delicious and came in generous portions. Their house-made tiramisu should not be missed. And we finished with a couple of espresso coffee drinks. Special thanks to Truitt, our attentive server, Steve, Chef/Owner and all the professional staff at Pranzo's. We've decided that Christmas Eve lunch at Pranzo'a is now a family tradition though we can't wait to visit their ristorante again soon.

The service is very good from the moment we arrived. Seating in the lounge was comfortable. Our waiter named Dan introduced himself and was pleasant and upbeat. The menu is very interesting and that gave each of us excitement about what to select. We had oysters, polenta, sweet beet salad, steak, scallops, sweet squash, seafood variety on rice, and flan with rum-flavored cream and chocolate mousse favored cake with salt favored caramel ice cream. All of the food was creatively prepared and presented. We were greeted cheerfully by the hostess and thanked by everyone for having dinner there. We expected excellent food, drinks and service, and that’s what the Palace Prime experience was for us tonight. We look forward to another wonderful dinning experience there! Clayton Tanga, Santa Fe

First time dining here, but won't be our last. We were very pleased with the whole dining experience. Nice quaint atmosphere, great service, good wine/ drink options, and the food was fantastic. The crab cakes were excellent, as was the mushroom soup, and I had a filet as good as any top restaurant. We were too full for dessert, but will try next time. The other reviews are correct- give Dinner for Two a try!
