Prairie Star Restaurant and Wine Bar at Santa Ana Golf Club has offered an unforgettable dining experience since 1986. Housed in a renovated 100 year-old adobe ranch house, the warmth and intimacy of Prairie Star is intoxicating. You may absorb the NM Territorial atmosphere of handmade adobe walls, kiva fireplaces and full viga and latilla ceilings while enjoying awe-inspiring and sweeping views of the golf course and the Sandia Mountains.

Our culinary team masterfully creates stunning Contemporary New American cuisine with global influences and Executive Chef Myles Lucero changes our menu seasonally to reflect the time and freshest ingredients at hand. Each dish is carefully crafted from the finest ingredients, locally sourced when possible, and organic, sustainable and fair trade items preferred.

Prairie Star serves prix fixe menus on major holidays, and you can find details at prairiestarrestaurant.com. We are closed Christmas Day and New Years Day.

    Starters were excellent. The steak had an overwhelming smoky taste to it. The sides were good.

    We arrived for the special Thanksgiving menu close to the last seating and that may account for the very dismal state of the food. The first side had been on the warming table much too long and was crisp beyond edible. When the waitress saw that I hadn't eaten it, instead of apologizing, she told me to not worry, that all sides were actually free and that I was only paying $80 for the entree. Somehow this did not appease me, it just made me think she took me to be an idiot. The other sides were nice, and the entree was fine, just not anywhere near worth $80! None of the diners at our table were as impressed with this four course meal as the menu led us to believe we would be getting. It was pretty pedestrian. We had to ask for bread. We had to ask to have the unused wine glasses taken away. We had to ask to have our water refilled. We won't be back to the Prairie Star. We had been hoping to find a new gem for dining but were very disappointed.

    First of all, thank you for choosing Prairie Star for your Thanksgiving celebration, and for responding with a review. We were disappointed to find your feedback, and please accept our apologies for the less-than suitable experience. The manager has taken note to discuss with the staff, and will contact you this week.

    We enjoyed an exquisite thanksgiving meal. The view is spectacular, the restaurant cozy, and the food was delicious and creative. I especially enjoyed the fried sage and the red chile caramel which accompanied the pecan pie.

    Great food, awesome service, superb desert. Table of 4 next to us were very noisy, but made us laugh a few times. We've been coming here since 1998...still our favorite NM restaurant.
