Restaurants near Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder

This is where we go when we want to treat ourselves and spend a really special evening with friends or family. It never disappoints. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The food is great and perfect for sharing. We love the yellowtail roll, the fried oysters, the pork ribs - to name only a few. the servers are pleasant, friendly, personable without being intrusive. Secret tip: for some reason it's not on the menu, but they offer sake flights and that's a fun way to try out different ones. Our only problem yesterday, and this was not the fault of the restaurant, was the unruly, extremely shrill, probably drunk group of six people at the neighboring table. It was impossible to converse or even relax. This group should have gone to a bar instead, they were ill-placed in this serene environment and they were super annoying. Fortunately the staff were able to find us a different table and it became a beautiful evening as usual.

The service was fantastic, and very friendly. So was the food. Prices are high but they let us split the filet mignon, which was all we needed. It was perfectly cooked. Because they were busy (holiday season), the place was noisy but it really didn’t matter to us.

The hostess was lovely and found us a table indoors when we realized it was too cold for our son to dine outdoors. Our waiter was great. He was very friendly and professional. The food was delish. I had the beef bourgnigon and my daughter had the gnocchi. My son and husband had the scallops and the bolognese. All the food was hot and delicious. Oh and the cocktails were great too.

Everyone at Gabriel’s did an outstanding job for our BIG family birthday dinner celebration! We had 17 people…including 3 young children. The service was excellent! The food delicious! They even let us bring in our own birthday cake. Special kudos to Girardo!

Thanksgiving feast was awesome. Turkey and sides were delicious. Gabriel was our server. He was attentive and fun to converse with. He spoiled us! Starters, main course, and desert were the best. I walked by the kitchen and applauded them for the great job. Every restaurant should require their STAFF'S to watch "The Bear" on HULU. It is raising the populations expectations of fine dining and may certainly help establishments raise their own bars. Stay ahead of the curve. LOL
