I had made a reservation for that day for a birthday dinner and I was told by the front desk at the hotel the restaurant was closing early. I ask why because I had reservation on that night at 8pm and I show him the email. He responded oh it let you . He was surprised but dint show sympathy or nothing just a small sorry. I bet this was gonna be an amazing birthday night if it was open. I had breakfast there and it was delicious but I was hopping for something better on that night very disappointing that I didn't receive at least a cancelation notice or something. Had to find a place after that at the same night but rather that that my two days staying were great and breakfast was amazing thank you

We wanted so badly to love this place, the wait staff had no idea about anything on the menu, had no idea when we were served incomplete meals and when we asked where is the rest of the meal she had no idea what we were talking about, the staff was busy chatting to each other to acknowledge us and when we asked for the check we were presented with an option to pay with tip options starting at 22% we can only say that we wish the brunch was as good as the pics on the site look, Santa Fe so needs a great brunch option and we were hoping this would do the trick, not so much…

They DID NOT reserve a table for us. Service was poor with two events going on simultaneously. It was terrible and we will never go back.

We ordered the fried chicken/waffle for brunch. The waffles were very good…light and tasty. The chicken was not fried as usual. It looked like medium sized pieces were dipped in egg and flour and then cooked. Very disappointing. My husband had huevos rancheros that was runny and not tasty at all. The patio consists of a few tables on gravel with a fence. Very sparse and unattractive. All in all, very disappointing. We will not return.

First time there and delighted by the atmosphere and decor. Most other diners were outside in the patio and we were inside so quiet except for music. Interesting menu. I had Caesar salad and didn’t line the dressing. Friend has quinoa salad and really liked it. A new favorite place!

first time here for lunch and definitely not the last. First and foremost, our server Martine was wonderful. Got the answers to all of our questions and was personable yet professional. We had guacamole which to my pallet was a tattoo spicy, but my husband loved it and then we shared a fig and pear flatbread, which was definitely yummy. Recommend and will return.
