Izanami did a great job on Thanksgiving Day! They took excellent care of us during our visit. My reason for the 4 stars for the food was because the pork was a bit dry and the cranberry sauce was too tart. But…the star of the day was the GF apple-ginger pie. The crust was divine. If the chef would give us the recipe, we would be so very appreciative! Overall, an excellent visit as always!

Santa Cafe provided us a warm and memorable Thanksgiving experience!! Our original plans were unexpectedly re-routed due to over two foot of snow in Telluride. Santa cafe was an unexpected and amazing surprise with the most savory and delicious food anyone could ever imagine and their staff giving up their Thanksgiving day to make ours special. Many thanks to all of you…and your hospitality, much appreciated! My husband enjoyed the calamari and I enjoyed the pillowy, pumpkin ravioli. This followed by the filet on celery root puree with scalloped stacked potato and herb side dish. I enjoyed the amazing bone in chop with some sort of pearl pasta in the most amazing wine reduction sauce! Waiter, somalier, stopped by and then the manager with a gift, it was a jar of hot rum mixture to take home and a sample at the table. It was delicious! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

We are Spanish and can verify that the food is authentic Spanish. The morcilla pinxtos were excellent, the lamb albondigas were bigger and tastier than we expected, and the baguette and olive oil were excellent. The espresso was also excellent.

One of the two or three best restaurants in New Mexico. Chef was working the dining rooms last night—first time I’d seen him without his cowboy hat. There are dishes and flavors that can be found nowhere else in the United States. We’re from Texas and we know a bit about mole. No one matches the depths of flavors he is able to achieve. Trust your server—there are a couple of dishes that should be mandatory—Chef’s soup and his special dessert; your server will guide you. This is super-fine dining. Expect to spend several hours over dinner—it’s not fast food. Service is excellent and the rooms are beautiful. Plus, it’s not cheap. But, it’s special and worth the occasional splurge.

Coyote Cafe’s staff truly knows how to serve customers. We were greeted warmly, shown our table, and, because we indicated it was our anniversary, were bright two glasses of champagne and addressed by name by our waiter, Parris. He truly knows how to provide table service! He made excellent recommendations and made sure our experience was top notch. The food, atmosphere, and service were all perfect!
