The food here was quite good. Although, it is quite odd that they don’t have a large tapas menu.The atmosphere however leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t typically associate fluorescent lighting, dusty decor, and missing drywall with “fine dining.” The service was diligent and overall good, but could be better for what this restaurant aspires to be. As a local I hope to be back, but I’m not sure I will be recommending this “experience.”

Competent hotel restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere (and the hotel itself is quite lovely), but the food has a few issues. Everything tasted good, but there was little inspiration in evidence, (which we all know is not unusual in hotel eateries). The least satisfying item was the mezas platter- there were far too little actual mezas on the plate in favor of a whole lot of bread. Now mind you, I love bread, and the grilled pita and slices of baguette served were delicious, but you don't want to overload your patrons with bread. The salad and the grilled asparagus we ordered—both pretty good—helped to counter all the carbs. Our server was very busy but handled everything like a pro. Husband ordered a martini and liked it so much he got a second one. In all, would love for the kitchen to be allowed to use more imagination and put a little more heart into its offerings, and serve portions that deliver on the menu descriptions. After all, competence is nice as a starting point, but as something to build upon.

If I'm the only soul in the entire restaurant the waiter has zero freaking excuses to ignore me the entire damn time. I had to flag another person down for them to find my waiter.Absolutely garbage service, amazing food.

I could go on and on about how rude and unprofessional the wait staff was on Valentine's Day night but instead I'll just warn you of the horrific service, forced 34% "service fee" in addition to your tip and highly overpriced food for the quality and taste. Slow, disrespectful service experience imaginable and the price is the final blow. Would never recommend.

Rude hostess, walked up to her saying I just can't today while handing the phone to another worker. Then our waitress would come and then disappear. Drinks were amazing. But then fish came raw to the tabel. Told the waitress when she finally came back and she was like ohhh that's not right. Looked at the table next to me and he had just sent his steak back too. Both us just raised our hands. Beautiful place but food was not cooked and poor service.

Sat down to a very nice meal this evening with a good friend. Our server was the absolute bomb! He was humble, and very attentive. The food was also bomb! But we had to have the server kind of explained the menu a bit to us as it was super fancy lol as far as the place goes, it's a decent place but I feel needs a little updating. But I was informed by the waiter, that they would be closing in a few months anyway...
The worst meal I've had in my 8 years in New Mexico. Half the menu was "unavailable," a special was EYE of lamb which was delivered to me as: two small chops that were raw. The waiter was earnest but poorly trained - so sad for such a beautiful and historic hotel to have such a poor in-house restaurant.

The waiter forgot an entire course of the tasting menu. Additionally she would only check on us around twice in an hour and a half visit. The menu was well overpriced for the flavors and overall delivery.

They were understaffed. Service was extremely slow. Main course came out before we finished starters. Bottle of wine did not come out until after main course was delivered. Food was excellent. Also, they were getting ready to change menus so many of the starters were out.

The service was excellent, from the time reentered the restaurant to the time we left. The Mezzo platter was outstanding. I would recommend this dish as a must eat for all veggie lovers.

We took friends for dinner who have never been there. They are amazed how great the atmosphere and food was. We ordered multiple items and shared them so they could try everything. The ribs, chicken wings, bacon dates and risotto were spot on. The staff there are all so friendly and you could tell by the food presentation they all take pride in their culinary arts.
