Alkemē certainly doesn't need another 5 star review but it was just too good to not review it…read more First, the exterior is very unassuming but the moment you walk into the restaurant you realize you're in for an incredible experience. The hostess what just delightful and too the time to explain what we were about to experience. Granted, the food is remarkable but the delivery of the food is as much a part of the experience as is the food. The pacing of the meal was perfect and the staff allowed us to enjoy the meal, never feeling rushed. A wonderful experience and one we will repeat on our next visit Santa Fe.

Came for lunch on a Thursday afternoon around 12:45. We had just been to the plaza, which was…read morereally busy. We expected a wait, but there was plenty of seating. We have eaten here several times before and really enjoy the food. We ordered shrimp dumplings and spring roll appetizers which came quickly. For entrees we ordered the Mongolian beef, Singapore noodles, and chicken fried rice. I'm going to apologize for the pictures, we were with a group and everyone dug in before I could take them. Great service and good food! Parking is not great, they have a very limited number of spaces, and no room to turn around. You have to back out of the lot onto the street.

That being said, it's great option if you want a break from New Mexican / Mexican food while in Santa Fe. We got: - chutoro sashimi - This wasn't worth it, we much preferred the hamachi - hamachi sashimi - Multiple people commented this was their favorite dish of the night - miso eggplant - Another favorite for many, although I found it too saucy for me - daikon salad - Light and vinegary, one of my friends loved this dish - yuba pappardelle - Really interesting - it worked better than I expected although I'm not a big fan of those flavors (I'd rather have Asian flavors with my yuba). The yuba itself was excellent in texture. - tako plate - Well executed and not too fishy - black sesame noodles - Solid, I liked that this came with a bunch of vegetables (burdock, carrot). - mango panna cotta - fine, but not my favorite panna cotta texture (more on the yogurty side of texture) My friends also loved the namazake.

I organized a special group outing for seven for the spa and planned our lunch here before a 1:00…read morePM spa appointment. When booking, I called twice and was assured by two separate hosts that as long as we knew our orders upon arrival, we would have plenty of time. However, the experience was disappointing from the start. Upon arrival, the manager treated us as if we were walk-ins without a reservation and completely dismissed the information we were given over the phone stating "they'd handle the host who told us it'd be fine". Once seated, as previous calls indicated we should do, we placed our order immediately and clarified that three of us needed to leave by 12:40 PM for our appointments. By 12:45 PM, everyone had finished eating except for two people- our guest of honor and a pregnant party member- whose food still hadn't arrived despite asking if it'd be arriving soon (around 1235). When we inquired (around 1250) the server admitted they had accidentally given their dish (steak bimbibap) to another table and would have to remake it. By 1:20 PM, after the rest of our party had already left for the spa, the missing meal still hadn't arrived except for one person who was waiting to receive it. When staff finally brought out the meal- they placed it on the table (empty of people) and someone who was clearing the table accidentally threw dirty napkins directly onto the plate. They offered to remake it once more to go and removed that single dish from our bill. but the replacement steak bibimbap was extremely bland and the steak mostly fat. Throughout this entire experience, no one offered an apology; instead, the staff made us feel like we were at fault despite our planning and communication. While the spa management was kind enough to offer us a discount after hearing what happened, I cannot recommend this restaurant given the service, lack of accountability, and food quality.

Geronimo doesn't really need another five-star review, but our experience tonight was so lovely…read morethat I am writing this. The goodness began with Naomi, who helped me fix an error in my reservation and get a table at a good time tonight. The goodness continued with our server Mitzi, who should be teaching graduate classes in hospitality in every big city. She was friendly without being overbearing, informative without being pedantic, subtle and gracious. Now, the food! My wife chose the vegetarian tasting menu and I had some of each dish: so very flavorful (a green salad with pears, a life-changing mushroom bisque [and I don't like mushrooms!], a chickpea croquette with pickled artichoke hearts and ratatouille, and a substitution of the lemon crepe for three yummy scoops of sorbet and gelato. I chose the scallops, perfectly cooked and moist, over couscous, and a dish of tasty sauteed baby spinach. A wonderful experience, and not overpriced, and everyone treated us sweetly. The musical soundtrack was swinging, and at a compassionate volume. Our first trip to Santa Fe, and we found a gem. Hooray! And thank you, Mitzi!

This was our last dinner out in Santa Fe and was the best dining and culinary experience here…read more Everyone told us this is the best fine dining in the entire state and they were correct. The interior is classy and very comfortable. We were seated at a nice comfy corner booth. The soft music in the background was soothing and just noticeable enough without being a distraction. We were served complimentary flutes of local sparking wine and a fresh baked bread basket and butter to start. We then ordered cocktails and three starters. First was a split plate of the endive smoked duck salad with a warm bacon vinegarette. Wow...this was nice and refreshing. This was followed by the crab dumplings with fresh corn and peas and lobster sauce. Delicious! The final small plate was seared foie gras on top of banana bread toast. This was very good. I miss foie gras. Unfortunately, it's banned in California. They had a 2023 Sea Smoke "Ten"Pi ot Noir on the wine list. This is one of the best Pinot Noirs produced in California and not easy to find. This was a no doubter and we ordered a bottle to pair with our entrees. My wife ordered their signature elk tenderloin for redemption because the restaurant the night before failed at executing this. I ordered the tomahawk pork chop. This was cooked to perfection with a nice thin crust on the outside and a perfect very light pink juicy center. We ordered a side of brocolini that was pan roasted with shallots and butter. Everything was very good and Michelin grade in our opinion. Lastly we ended the evening and split the tiramasu type of desert. My wife had the expresso martini and I had an 18 year old Glen Morangie scotch neat. The service was excellent and worth the splurge. This is a must when visiting Santa Fe.

I was so glad to have stumbled upon it because of this. I ordered takeout and they were really quick to prepare it. When I walked in, the restaurant looked very spacious and clean. I would consider returning to dine in. For takeout, I purchased their Mongolian Beef and the Shrimp with Broccoli. Both dishes were delicious. The Mongolian Beef has a spicy kick to it which I absolutely enjoyed. It has a nice wok hay flavor with onions and tastes great with white rice. The shrimp and broccoli was also very savory, I liked that it's simple and not doused in thick gravy. The broccoli had the perfect crunch. Definitely worth ordering!

Hands-down some of the best dumplings I have ever had! On top of that-- the owners are so friendly and kind! Gregory, one of the owners, is so hospitable.

It was such an enjoyable night and I loved getting to know them and how they started the restaurant. Amazing people, amazing food- highly recommend!

Somehow, the exterior door had gotten locked during business hours, and so one of the owners had to…read moreunlock it to let us in. What started poorly ended worse. In addition to a good chunk of the menu being unavailable, including several dishes I had wanted to try, the restaurant was so understaffed that it took the better part of an hour to get seated and receive our food. Given that our entire order was one set of dumplings and a bibimbap, that's really not ok. And, while we received thanks for our patience, we did not receive a write-down of the ticket or any dishes on the house. Although the restaurant seemed like a pleasant place to wait out our time at first, its tranquility was repeatedly spoiled by alarms from the kitchen, and eventually, the strong smell of burning. Although that smell was quickly taken away by the fume hood, we revisited it again outside after we left. Pork Dumplings in Hot Soup - 2/5 The soup was mild and pleasant, but the filling was a dense mass with an unpleasant aftertaste from a less nice cut of pork. Bibimbamp - 3/5 Decent, especially for the price, but nothing to write home about. There was too much rice in proportion to the vegetables, and not really enough room in the bowl to comfortably mix the dish without worrying about spilling it on the table. We're big fans of both Korean food and Chinese dumplings, so we'd really wanted to like this place. What a shame.

We attended a matinee performance in downtown Santa Fe on a Sunday with our teenage, twin grand-daughters. They enjoy Asian food, and requested we go to Kohnami. Everyone was happy with their meal choices, though I don't actually remember exactly what I ordered. Our food was delivered in good time, and we mostly caught up on family news while eating. Service was on top of things, as we were out in the main dining area, next to the sushi bar. A few weeks later, the girls requested we go there for their 16th birthday, a family celebration. We reserved a table for 9, and were seated in the very back of the restaurant, past the tatami rooms. Unfortunately, even though it was a Wednesday evening with not many patrons on hand and a 6:30 reservation, service was glacial. It was a full fifteen minutes before we were served water, and another ten minutes before anyone came for our orders. The drink orders came out sporadically and incompletely, and then our food started arriving in very unpredictable bursts. My beef teriyaki was served early on, but it was overcooked and difficult to eat with only chopsticks. The twins ordered noodle soups and sushi, and were very happy with their choices. Their grandfather, visiting from the Midwest, eventually had to get up and go inquire with the kitchen about his missing food order. In all, it took about 40 minutes for everyone to be served. Splitting the bill at the end turned out to be another ordeal, since they don't seem to have trained people on the cash register and we had to wait for a manager to help out. I know it's very difficult to get good restaurant help in these times. But there are some very basic rules of hospitality, and on this occasion Kohnami didn't manage to adhere to them. We're not writing them off, but we'll think twice about returning since Santa Fe is a gourmand's paradise.
