   Prairie Star is absolutely fabulous, it's small and quaint southwestern. The restaurant is on Santa Ana reservation, which overlooks the Santa Ana Golf Course and the Sandia Mountains. The food/menu is diverse and offers a nice variety of entrees. The menu is fairly priced. The Prairie Star is a must for upscale dining at a fair price. We celebrate our wedding anniversary yearly at the Prairie Star. Roger, the manager, returns confirmation reservations quickly and manages a top-notch restaurant. Wait staff are pros!!

   Christmas Eve prix fixe meal was a very good option for us this year since we opted not to cook...it was just the two of us this year. There was a nice selection for each of the four courses. We ordered the local bison short ribs and halibut for our main courses. The flavors were very good and it was seasoned just right. The wine suggestion of an Argentinian Malbec went well with the bison. We also tried the Tractor Milk Mustachio Stout which was also very nice. The cappuccino was below average, though. We really enjoyed the fact that the acoustics throughout the restaurant allowed for conversation with our normal voices and we could actually hear each other! This has also been true every time we dined here. Prairie Star offers good food for good value, a nice ambiance, and good acoustics, which makes it a perfect place to share a meal with your loved one, family or friends.

   We got married at the Prairie Star (17) years ago and every year on our anniversary we have a wonderful dinner there - just the two of us. Rebecca planned and orchestrated our wedding. And as hoped for - She's was there last night as usual making sure everyone was being treated to a 5 star experience. Our waitress Francesca is also an experienced server and her knowledge of the food and drink menu was right on the money -plus she is a delight to meet. We had the best anniversary evening yet. Superb food - atmosphere only surpassed by the graciousness of our hostesses. You'll enjoy your time there as well. THANKS TO ALL!

   We returned to Prairie Star after a long hiatus, and found it just as wonderful as it had been in the past. Superb food, cheerful and attentive service and a quiet, comfortable ambience made the experience all we had hoped for and more. Bravo, Prairie Star!

   Wonderful evening last night. The duck soup & grapefruit salad starters were on point! The entrees were equally delicious...swordfish was the best ever, lamb shank was so tender & mild-but add the red chile jus & flavor pops! We shared a Paso red & a Chard to go with. Dessert was a flourless chocolate torte-so good! Thank you for a wonderful date night!

   We were seated in a small room with a beautiful view of the mountains. The waitress behind us was talking a lot and her voice really carried... But otherwise it was a very intimate dining room. The steak was a little tough and overcooked. But it still tasted good. My partner's food was delicious and the rest of my meal was very good.

   Thank you for submitting your valuable feedback. Please accept our apologies for the steak not being up to your expectation, nor ours. We are disappointed to have let you down. I appreciate your grace in offering the comments, and am grateful you enjoyed the remainder of your dinners. Please keep us in mind when planning another evening out.
