Restaurants near Museum of New Mexico

The Pink Adobe is FANTASTIC! I got the duck, I’ve never tried duck before but it was possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Our waiter, Fernando, had amazing recommendations and really made the whole experience. Make sure to make a reservation, they will book up. I couldn’t recommend this place more!!!

The reputation of this restaurant is well justified. The food choices are creative and well prepared. The cholula was excellent as was the sea bass with mole. However, the most notable thing about Sazon after the food is the staff. They are trained in the continental style. Totally attentive, coordinated service and very supportive of each other. Highly recommend Sazon for anyone visiting Santa Fe. I’m sure locals don’t need a review to decide to patronize this restaurant.

My girlfriend and I went out for Valentine’s Day yesterday, and it was absolutely wonderful. I’ve never felt compelled to write a restaurant review before, but this experience was so exceptional that I had to. As two young professionals, we rarely get the chance to escape for a nice dinner, and this one was worth every moment. The service was outstanding—attentive yet unobtrusive—and ordering was seamless. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was perfect, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. We even struck up a conversation with the couple next to us, and the background music was at just the right volume—audible enough to hum along but never overpowering. For dinner, we started with oysters. I had the filet mignon and lobster, while my girlfriend had the branzino. Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, and she had the profiteroles—both were incredible. A heartfelt thank you to the staff for making it a Valentine’s Day to remember!

We drove to Santa Fe from Albuquerque to try La Boca for Valentine’s Day. As you can assume it was quite packed and the restaurant is not very large, but all of the servers and staff in the restaurant were very attentive and kind. We were talked through the Sherry Flight, and tried the 3 course tasting menu. First course was a soup or salad, so we ordered one of each. The main was a chorizo, goat cheese and chili sandwich, and dessert was a chocolate mousse. The spoon was a little larger for the mousse vessel but it was quite funny trying to figure out how to get everything out of the container. We even made acquaintances with the table next to us. Overall it was a nice time, I’d love to go back on a less busy day!

I gave the noise level a Moderate rating because we were sat next to the fountain which makes a very soothing background “noise”. The food was good, the staff were excellent and the atmosphere is very pleasant.
