Best Restaurants for Foodies in Albuquerque Acres West

Coyote Cafe is a staple in our Santa Fe restaurant rotation. Every meal we’ve had there has been excellent. New Year’s Day was no exception (even though we were still full from our New Years Eve dinner lol). Started with the kampachi and then I had the sea bass and my husband had the elk tenderloin. I opted for wine by the glass instead of bottle (see NYE comment above) and the server recommended a wonderful, minerally white that perfectly complemented the fish. We’ll definitely be back!

Prompt seating, special in isolated alcove. Excellent menu with varied choices. Ordered drinks - green chile chicken stew, mussels, salmon. Servings were well prepared. Waiter was very good & attentive. One of our favorite restaurants for special occasions!

Outstanding! The atmosphere is exquisite and permeates as fine dining. Wine Selection by the glass was just what we were looking for! Caymus Cabernet. Out of all of the dinners in Santa Fe, this was the best. We had the beet salad, Lobster Entree and “the Apple” for dessert. The Apple is an artistic treat. Not a real apple but looks like one till you slice it open to a fluffy interior with spiced apple bits and a touch of caramel.

From start to finish we had a delicious meal with the best martinis and eclectic and yummy food in a beautiful ambiance. The service was wonderful with a couple of calls made as we were late and throughout the meal the attention to detail and style. My husband and I always love Zinc and last night was perfect!

Boy, talk about a really unique experience!! At the front door, after we had our "password" validated, we were met by Micky with a baseball bat who made sure we knew what the houserules were. We were escorted to our table and prepared for a terrific dining experience. The food was expertly prepared and presented. It was a really enjoyable experience.
