Prairie Star Restaurant and Wine Bar at Santa Ana Golf Club has offered an unforgettable dining experience since 1986. Housed in a renovated 100 year-old adobe ranch house, the warmth and intimacy of Prairie Star is intoxicating. You may absorb the NM Territorial atmosphere of handmade adobe walls, kiva fireplaces and full viga and latilla ceilings while enjoying awe-inspiring and sweeping views of the golf course and the Sandia Mountains.

Our culinary team masterfully creates stunning Contemporary New American cuisine with global influences and Executive Chef Myles Lucero changes our menu seasonally to reflect the time and freshest ingredients at hand. Each dish is carefully crafted from the finest ingredients, locally sourced when possible, and organic, sustainable and fair trade items preferred.

Prairie Star serves prix fixe menus on major holidays, and you can find details at prairiestarrestaurant.com. We are closed Christmas Day and New Years Day.

We got married at the Prairie Star (17) years ago and every year on our anniversary we have a wonderful dinner there - just the two of us. Rebecca planned and orchestrated our wedding. And as hoped for - She's was there last night as usual making sure everyone was being treated to a 5 star experience. Our waitress Francesca is also an experienced server and her knowledge of the food and drink menu was right on the money -plus she is a delight to meet. We had the best anniversary evening yet. Superb food - atmosphere only surpassed by the graciousness of our hostesses. You'll enjoy your time there as well. THANKS TO ALL!

We returned to Prairie Star after a long hiatus, and found it just as wonderful as it had been in the past. Superb food, cheerful and attentive service and a quiet, comfortable ambience made the experience all we had hoped for and more. Bravo, Prairie Star!

Wonderful evening last night. The duck soup & grapefruit salad starters were on point! The entrees were equally delicious...swordfish was the best ever, lamb shank was so tender & mild-but add the red chile jus & flavor pops! We shared a Paso red & a Chard to go with. Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte-so good! Thank you for a wonderful date night!

We were seated in a small room with a beautiful view of the mountains. The waitress behind us was talking a lot and her voice really carried... But otherwise it was a very intimate dining room. The steak was a little tough and overcooked. But it still tasted good. My partner's food was delicious and the rest of my meal was very good.

Thank you for submitting your valuable feedback. Please accept our apologies for the steak not being up to your expectation, nor ours. We are disappointed to have let you down. I appreciate your grace in offering the comments, and am grateful you enjoyed the remainder of your dinners. Please keep us in mind when planning another evening out.

We went to the bat before dinner for a drink and Avery was our bartender she is very sweet and made us some delicious drinks. We found out that she would also be our waitress we opted to change tables to stay in the bar area. The food and drinks were delicious. We will be back .

We are so glad Avery made you feel welcomed and comfortable, and that you enjoyed your dinners. We have shared your compliments with Avery and Chef. We appreciate your five-star rating and hope you can return soon!

Thank you so much for choosing Prairie Star for your Thanksgiving celebration. I am disappointed to hear you didn't enjoy the steak as much as the remainder of the meal. I have shared this with Chef Myles for his notes. We would appreciate you keeping us in mind for a future evening out, and thank you for responding.
