This may be my favorite place in town for fine dining, and that is saying a lot in a town like Sant Fe. Our server, Miguel, was an absolute delight. We were seated in the Jazz Club and were entertained by a very talented group of musicians all evening. The atmosphere is really upscale but also very cozy and charming—not at all stuffy or overly formal. The wine and spirits list is super impressive. And the food was superb. The menu is thoughtful and creative. Presentation is everything — beautifully plated with edible flowers, etc. And, the flavors! Each meal was perfectly balanced, delicious, perfectly cooked, and had surprising flavor combinations (venison with chimichurri?! Who knew!). Most of all, we were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the staff was super accommodating. They allowed me to bring in a birthday cake which the presented to our table and served. They had the band play a jazzy happy birthday tune, and just generally made the whole evening extra special. Even the chef came out to our table to wish my husband well. La Casa Sena is an absolute gem.

We had a wonderful waiter named Cedar who could not have been more helpful. The food was delicious and I recommend people go to this

Hidden gem in Santa Fe. Calamari was excellent. Sea Bass perfectly crusted yet moist and flaky. Elk Venison was like a prime filet, rich and flavorful. Desserts were a little disappointing. Plating and presentation was as good as any Restuarant anywhere.

Started out with the Calamari, it was the BEST we've ever had! Ordered the Venison, Veggie Pasta, Burger and Seabass, we all agreed our meals were DIVINE! Our waiter, Paul was so friendly, polite and informative. The wine list goes on and on!! It's highly recommended to dine here!! EDIT: we went back two days later! Ended up canceling reservations at a high end steak house so we could have one more dinner at La Casa Sena!!
We brought our friends from out-of-town for dinner last evening, as this is one of our favorites for special occasions. The food as usual didn't let us down! Ambiance was lovely with the fireplace going. Thanks for another wonderful evening.

My husband and I were in Santa Fe for my birthday and decided to try La Casa Sena. The food and service were fabulous! Our only compliant was that they didn't have any lamb dishes on the menu. The online menu showed a lamb dish.

Outstanding meal and margaritas. Chili was excellent. Chicken enchiladas with green chile were yummy. The Cadillac Margarita was awesome. Highly recommend the new menu. Can't wait to return
This was our second visit this month. Our first visit was so enjoyable that we returned with guests. This time we sat in the main dining room which was perfect for conversation. Again the food was outstanding and the service attentive. We would highly recommend.

Great table by the window looking out on the beautiful patio. It was a cold and very windy non patio day. Our service was great. The menu has changed back to more SW-ern Santa Fe style. VG wines by the glass. Tonite we opted for Steak(Filet) and potatoes hearty fare. Delicious! Thank Y'all.

We had heard that La Casa Sena had changed its menu resemble a steak house, versus the Mediterranean-style as posted on their website. Though this was disappointing, the burger and enchiladas were ordered were yummy, but not outstanding as we expected. The piano bar was actually the hit of the evening. Great cocktails and an extremely talented pianist/Kyle made the evening enjoyable.
TaKing out-of-town business associate to dinner. Restaurant was not busy in the middle of the week in mid-February for a 7:00 Pm reservation. Everything about our dining experience was outstanding.

Very delicious food. Every dish we tried was excellent! Congratulations to the chef! We were there twice in one week and our waitresses were great. The quiet jazz music contributes to the calm romantic ambiance. Lovely decor too. It was cold outside when we went making the fire in the fireplace very welcoming.

No restaurant better captures the ambience of Northern New Mexico than La Casa Sena. After some disappointing forays awhile ago into dishes populated with Quinoa and Kale, the menu has returned to more traditional Santa Fe offerings. We both had fish, which was well-prepared and very good, and the service was excellent.

Our New Year's Eve celebration was less than celebratory. There was no notification that the meal was pre fixe. Which in itself would have been a non starter for me. To make matters worse out of the minimal menu two of the items were either sold out or unavailable. This was the 8 o'clock seating on NYE. To add insult to injury the tab was over $180 per person with one cocktail each. It wasn't the amount of money but the value. Needless to say I won't be going back to La Casa Sena on my next trip to Santa Fe.

Terribly disappointing NYE dinner. Surprised to find a pre-fixe menu that was limited and many of the items already sold out. Enraged at the addition of a 22 percent gratuity on top of $125 per person. Very small portions. Slow service although our server was trying her best. I will never go back to this place. Beware.
