    My favorite restaurant. Though it’s an expensive restaurant and one I reserve for a special occasion( Today’s visit being Thanksgiving ), I’m never disappointed. The menu, the individual ingredients, the presentation and preparation are impeccable. The entire staff from head chef to busboy are personable, polite and professional. I recommend anyone visiting Santa Fe to stop in and experience the incredible Italian cuisine of Sassella!

    Another great Thanksgiving Dinner at El Nido. When my wife and I are in town for Thanksgiving by ourselves, El Nido has become our go-to place. Service was well organized and very smooth. The food was first class. From a super crab cake (with just the right dash of cole slaw) to an excellent turkey dinner, which all came together with an extra helping of the red chili gravy. The pumpkin pie was great, highlighted with some candied chopped pecans. Be sure to ask for the back room if you are looking for a quieter ambience. Great job, El Nido!
