About the restaurant

Chef Joseph Wrede is a Food & Wine Best New Chef, the winner of several AAA Four Diamond Awards, several DiRoNA Awards and has received both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast distinctions. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is a creation of Chef Wrede and his creative and business partners. This is the third incarnation of Wrede’s original Joseph’s Table, conceived in Taos, New Mexico, not quite 20 years ago, for which he is well known and loved within the region and beyond. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is designed to be a platform for Chef Wrede’s unique and uncompromising vision on traditional and contemporary cuisine, both regional and international. Regarding the restaurant as a process much like theater, Wrede envisions the experience of dining in his restaurant as an interactive play between the pub and the public, with his sights aimed at rivaling high art.

Our party of four had a wonderful experience today for lunch. Our server was timely, knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. We each had something different, yet delicious. The new winter soup -the chicken one - was fantastic!

The food and service were excellent. Chef went above and beyond to accommodate my friend's dietary restrictions. I had the BEST cup of decaf coffee after dinner. Ambience was soothing. Definitely recommend Sky Fire.

The staff was great, my Waygu beef was too salty. Need to back off on the rub.
