   I had a wonderful cocktail made by Abraham, a delicious cosmopolitan. Enjoyed the shrimp then the tacos. Will definitely go to Coyote Cafe again.

   Hadn't been to Coyote Cafe in a few years since a lack luster meal back then but we decided to give it a try. The staff is super and the restaurant is beautiful. Unfortunately, it stops there. My scallop dish was actually quite good but my partner had the seabass and it was inedible. It was fishy and had no taste other than that. It had no seasoning including salt. We also had the shrimp and grit cake app and it was ok but was literally two medium size shrimp on a grit cake that was TINY. This and two glasses of house wine was $200.00 dollars. Will not be back. I hate to leave a bad review for a restaurant that is time honored but I would hope it improves soon.

   Excellent service and attention to detail in the preparation and presentation. Coyote Cafe is always our choice for a fine meal when we are in SF. We’re NM residents and always ask our out-of-state friends to join us here. Always a memorable evening!

   We were very pleasantly surprised by our dinner at Coyote Cafe! We were initially a bit confused as to how to get into the restaurant and if we had booked a reservation at the restaurant or rooftop, but once we found our way, our entire experience was great! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly and the food was fantastic! We had the kabocha squash soup, bison carpaccio, and elk tenderloin - all of which were fabulous with such unique Native American-inspired flavors. The only thing we had that didn’t quite live up to our expectations was the pecan pie for dessert. But otherwise everything far surpassed our expectations and it was a phenomenal first meal for our weekend in Santa Fe.

   Dining at Coyote is always a great experience that’s not to be missed while in Santa Fe. Our food was excellent and the service was impeccable. Our waiter Parris was a consummate professional who continued to surprise and delight.

   We had a lovely dinner at Coyote Cafe. The squash soup and Kamachi made an excellent combination. My companions had the pork belly tacos (very tasty and rich, excellent tortillas), the pork chop (tender and juicy), and the mussels posole (an unexpected flavor combination). Dessert was pecan pie with ice cream and banana cream pie, both very satisfying. We’ll be back to coyote cafe!

   Hugely disappointing Thanksgiving dinner. Soup and corn bread luke warm, one meat dish came cold and the bison Luke warm and full of fat. The pecan and chocolate pie looked like they came from Costco, and badly presented. Way, way overpriced. We had great meals before at Coyote Cafe and liked the new chef; was he absent?

    So we have always liked going to the Coyote Café when we’re in Santa Fe and of course we will continue to do so. We have been there on Thanksgiving eve many many years. As usual, service was great and because we had a reservation, the wait was very short.  I really thought that the food this time was just average, not as great as it has been in the past. It was Thanksgiving and they had a limited menu, but as I said, we’ve been there many times on Thanksgiving with a limited menu and the food was better. as always, service was outstanding and the ambience you would expect of the Coyote Cafe. . I had the pumpkin soup and it was OK, I had to doctored up with a little bit more pepper. I had the bass and had asked that it be pretty cooked through, but it really wasn’t. The desserts were good, but the crust was so hard that it was difficult to eat. Look I like this restaurant and I will be back, but maybe because it was Thanksgiving, this meal was a little less than what I would’ve expected
