    Definitely, a favorite. Even on a very busy Valentine's night the place was amazing. Service, Food, and schedule adjustments. Like clockwork, the Blade's team crushed it. Support local business owners and this great establishment.

    We celebrated Valentines Day a day early and definitely a wise decision! Our server, Avery, was enjoyable and attentive. We both had the bacon wrapped pheasant breast and was delicious. The cinnamon roll with bananas foster and Chantilly cream was divine. Thank you for another memorable evening!

    Our server was a young female. Almost looking like the actress Jenna Ortega. She was highly professional but she read the room. I’ve been to a lot of great restaurants and most servers are like salesman. She was above that. She wasn’t selling service she was selling an ambiance I haven’t received. My partner that was a server for years has high standards. She wasn’t selling service pleased above and beyond. You did yourself great. Screw the amount of famous people that have shown up there the style locations energy and the food was enough. You’ll stay around. Move locations to a bigger spot eventually but good job! 👏🏼💜🔥

    The variety of options for Sat/Sunday brunch are quite nice! Very tasty, nice presentation and great service. We sat on the patio n for a bit and then inside. Great views outside and nice ambience inside. I was last here 15 years ago and the property is well maintained and a beautiful blend of New Mexican with some modern touches. Great blend of traditional and new. We will return sooner than 15 years!
