    EXCEPTIONAL in every way. We had tried several restaurants in Santa Fe during our 5 day trip. Coyote Cafe was hands down the absolute best in every way. The food was absolutely incredible. Possibly the best Sea Bass we've ever had, in addition to the Elk Tenderloin, the appetizers and dessert. Our cocktails were exactly the same, with the Plum Martini and the Smoked Manhattan. The vibe, the service, the terrific menu of cocktails and divine food..... All of it was top notch. We are blessed to eat out often, in multiple cities. Coyote Cafe would compare to the finest places we've been in Dallas, San Fran, Chicago, NY, Austin and Denver. We will absolutely be back in August on our next trip.

    The food was scrumptious, the service exceptional, and an unexpected wine bouquet lesson most interesting. Simon was terrific.

    Just another incredible evening at Coyote Cafe. We love the staff here. Awesome friendly professional service. Always great recommendations on food and drink. And btw, the elk tenderloin is spectacular. And do not skip the green chile bisque. It’s New Mexico in a bowl. Thank you, Coyote Cafe, for making our 15th anniversary so special!
