The vegetarian Prix Fix with the wine paring option was wonderful. Each course was perfectly matched with the wine and was the right portion size. The wait staff was very professional and friendly. The valley parking was a bonus.

Our first dinner at Market Steer’s new location. The ambiance is refined, comfortable, warm, welcoming. The tasteful holiday decorations added charm. Service was superb. Every member of the team was engaging, thoughtful, helpful, attentive. The service ethic is quite a notch above even the most heralded establishments in town. Excellence all around. The food was amazing…from the amusing and delicious onion rings, to superb starters and salads, and perfection in the New Mexico cut prime grade beef. Just delicious, served hot and precisely to order. The wine list is extensive, varied, and a real treat for lovers of exceptional wine. The Sommelier was engaging and attentive and didn’t dismiss us when we exhibited our ability to select a wine for ourselves. We’re so happy for the team at Market Steer…we cannot wait to return for another extraordinary evening.

Atmosphere was terrific and service was great. Our server David was attentive and answered all questions on the menu. We both had the chicken and shared a sweet potato. We left enough room for a churro dessert with ice cream and chocolate ganache. Everything was terrific. This was our first time to this restaurant and resort. Signage is limited, you have to valet or self park and have a golf cart shuttle you to the restaurant, which sits up on a bluff. The restaurant hostess calls the shuttle when you are ready to leave and gets you back down. Beautiful property.

We had a great night. I had a special request on seating and it happened flawlessly. We told our server we were headed to the theater and the timing was perfect. They have a magical way of staging the meal. We had plenty of time with our cocktails and then our fabulous and tasty meal including dessert. Two hours later we left. Reminder… do make a reservation. Two couples before us in line did not have one and while they were able to seat them in the bar, it seems to be so much easier to simply reserve.

Always a wonderful night out. The Elk was excellent as was the Duck, caesar salad, and the carpaccio. Service was excellent as well. We have so many great restaurants in Santa Fe and this is one of the best!

GREAT food with a nice wine pairing and awesome service! I highly recommend the lobster bisque. Definitely a great neighborhood restaurant for either a nice meal out, including date nights and special occasions, or just to get out of the house and avoid cooking.

About the restaurant

Originally from Mexico City, Chef Fernando Olea, formerly Chef of Epazote, has been enthralling diners in Santa Fe since 1991. Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world. His menu is deliberately small, featuring fresh and locally sourced produce and meats when possible.

Nothing evokes the mystery of Mexican cuisine more than mole, a sauce of complex flavors that usually includes toasted and ground spices, seeds, nuts, chocolate and chile. Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009. The large mural in the main dining room, was painted and presented to Chef Olea by Federico Leon De La Vega, a well- known artist from Mexico City.
