    You want to get a reservation well in advance for the restaurant. This will also give you priority tram tickets to the top of the mountain. If you have a family of four be prepared to spend close to $600 but well worth it. Ride up $110 for 4 and my wife and two college boys went big on the menu. Steaks all around. $470 but so good.

    We had a reservation for 6, we were seated right away. Drinks came out right away and we ordered food. Everything was delicious especially the red chili ribs and enchiladas. Our waitress was very good and efficient (wish I’d caught her name)

    We have been to Santa Fe several times but had never been to Geronimo. We sat at the bar which was awesome with fantastic ambiance. The bar tenders were attentive but not overbearing. The food was spectacular. The stuffed quail as well as the wasabi Ceasar salad were outstanding. They had a strip steak special that was very good. Finally the Mexican white prawn dish was so good. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you go to Santa Fe and want a world class meal visit Geronimo.
