    Very nice ambiance going in. It’s hard to find the location but almost looks like you’re walking into a secretive restaurant. Food was outstanding, would highly recommend everyone to come here.

    We decided to try a new place in Santa Fe - we immediately wondered why we had not been here before. Atmosphere was charming and romantic. Service was exceptional - there always seemed to be someone there to tend to our needs. Tess was our server - personable, friendly, patient and charming. Christina was our wine expert - personable, patient, focused on making out wine selection perfect. The entire staff was exceptional. My wife had the hamburger; when not cooked rare enough the staff immediately responded and several staff went out of their way to correct the problem. My Branzino was perfectly cooked, I celebrated my post-birthday with staff who were attentive and caring. The food and service earned this experience a 5-star review.... we intend to return!

    Thank you, Dick, for your fantastic review! We're so glad you decided to give us a try and that you had such a memorable experience. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the charming ambiance, exceptional service, and of course, the delicious food. Tess and Kristina will be thrilled to know they made such a positive impression on your evening! We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you and your wife back for another special visit. Cheers to many more celebrations with us! 🍷✨

    Our dinner comprised several small plates -- all of which were very filling and delicious! We love Chef Angel's culinary creations. Austin was a gracious host, as always, and our server, Antonio, was attentive but never pushy. Special kudos go to the two bartenders who heeded our drink requests during dinner and then created a special cocktail specifically for us as a coda to the meal.

    Thank you, Eva, for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed Chef Angel's culinary creations and that Antonio and Austin helped make your evening memorable. It’s great to know the bartenders created something special for you to end the meal—nothing beats a personalized touch! We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for more delicious food and drinks soon. Cheers! 🍷🍸✨

    Food was good, a little slow on service as most places nowadays. Business meal, so having music in background is not as conducive for meetings.

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and appreciate your patience with the service. We understand that background music can impact business conversations, and we’ll take your input into consideration. We value your visit and hope to provide an even better experience next time. Looking forward to welcoming you again!
