Izanami never fails to produce the best food we've ever experienced in Santa Fe. We have returned year after year. They just keep getting better. From the innovative cocktails, to the best sashimi, ribs, salads, and more - they have something for everyone.

The food and service were excellent. Chef went above and beyond to accommodate my friend's dietary restrictions. I had the BEST cup of decaf coffee after dinner. Ambience was soothing. Definitely recommend Sky Fire.

From the start all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was beyond amazing. I don’t like lamb and still enjoyed my boyfriend’s rack of lamb. The chicken mole was some of the best I’ve ever had. Service was perfection and the housemade tea exquisite. Wish I lived here so I could go again!

Great meal, wonderful service, attentive staff. We celebrated a birthday with 8 of us. I had requested a quiet area and they delivered! The waitstaff serenaded our birthday guest and provided flan with a candle and a hat! The seafood fajitas were outstanding as were the beef, every dish was presented perfectly. We especially enjoyed the prickly pear margaritas. Sopapillas are not to be missed for dessert. None of us had dined here in the past, but this will be our new tradition! Don't miss the tableside Guacamole, the best I have had yet in New Mexico.

We live in Santa Fe and this was our first visit in a while. Sometimes resorts don’t do much to bring locals back. That was not our experience. Our server was fantastic. Very helpful with the menu and wine. She knew we were locals and did everything to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent. Because of this experience we’re putting Terra on our regular rotation.

The usual New Mexico plates are way beyond what’s available in town at the usual suspects and the prices are surprising reasonable. One of our favorite places!

Had the steak frites with chimichurri- was prepared perfectly, tender and flavorful. Very generous serving of the frites- which is good because it's why we all get the steak frites, after all! Jimmy was playing so a good time was had by all!
