We ordered a Caesar salad but didn't want the anchovies and they refused to make it for us. That seems ridiculous. Does the chef know better than I do what I want to eat? What if I had an allergy to the anchovies? We also had a long wait between a first salad and the Caesar "fight". Bad pr from the waiter. The rest of the food was ok but the experience will live in my memory as negative because of the anchovy thing.... read more

My wife and I ate at Dinner for Two on a second "honeymoon" to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Because of the name of the restaurant I expected something cozy with romantic ambience. Not so. We were seated along a wall facing each other at a small table and seated next to couples so close we could hear each other's conversation. We ordered chateaubriand (which was pricey but expected in Santa Fe) and the meat quality was mediocre. Chris was our waiter. He was ok but not overly charming. Parking was limited, distant, and confusing, so go early to figure that out. The highlights were meeting Andy Barnes, the owner, who cooked our beef plate (genuinely nice guy and good chef) and visiting with the pleasant young couple next to us. It was easy to talk to them because their table was so close to ours. Give Dinner for Two a try; we might have picked the wrong night. Charles Central Texas read more

Great place to eat. We went during our anniversary trip and had the tableside steak for two and it was amazing. Highly recommend. The table side Cesar salad and table side bananas foster looked delicious as well and will be on the plan for the next time we go! Great friendly service. Expensive, but the food, service and atmosphere make the price feel like a deal. read more

We went in a Saturday night expecting to have excellent steak as per many of the rave reviews. The place was packed, there was a music (not too loud) and the staff were bustling with the signature dishes made table side. The steaks however did not taste like prime. The meat cut was very poor - fatty, gristly and tough. I would not recommend this place. read more

The grass fed organic filet mignon was amazing! I was a little hesitant when I saw that cocoa coffee and pomegranate reduction was on it, but surprisingly it paired really nicely with the steak. The rib eye with the house made Bbq sauce was also delicious; very large piece of steak! Their bbq sauce is very unique and the frizzled onions were good. The beet salad was the perfect appetizer. My only complaint was that the salad was a small serving. Our waiter Jason was very good as well and made excellent wine recommendations. I will definitely go back again! read more

Visiting from the west coast, randomly ended up at this restaurant and it was a delight! Great service, delicious adult beverages, and really well prepared food. We mostly ordered a bunch of appetizers and liked the mussels and caesar salad the most but everything we tried was very tasty, including tres leches cake and coffee at the end of the meal. read more

We went for their Thanksgiving dinner since we were traveling from out of town. It was absolutely perfect! The crab cakes and shrimp appetizers were both phenomenal! I had the filet and my boyfriends as the turkey and ham dinner and all of it was amazing! The love bubble cocktail was great so were the glasses of wine we had with dinner! Our server I believe her name was Elena was friendly and provided great service and either the owner or the manager in a purple shirt was so accommodating! The chocolate cake for dessert with whip cream was delicious. All in all a perfect meal! Thank you! read more

We visit Santa Fe every year and this is one of our favorite restaurants. They have amazing service and incredible food. Happy hour is from 4 to 6 with great food and drink specials. I love their filet and house salad with ranch. The carrot cake is also delicious! read more

Made a reservation for outdoor seating on a Wednesday evening. Arrived on time only to be told that they were expecting a large party so they'd have to move us inside: obviously an unacceptable solution during Covid. No warning phone call, no apologies. What wretched service. We're locals, but we won't be returning. read more

Nice Anniversary place for us to enjoy on our weekend getaway. The cocktails were epic and staff so professional.

We were drawn to this because we wanted a good old Tres leches for dessert and let me tell you, that was the BEST Cesar salad prepared table side, the coconut shrimp was amazing and the stakes were top of the line all around. Fantastic service, good ambiance and all around 5 stars. Highly recommended- just make sure you make a reservation read more

They may pride themselves on "Chef Rony Gutierrez who has Been Nominated For Best Chef in New Mexico By the New Mexico Restaurant Association 2021". The food was good. But heavens.... It was not worth the money. I never leave bad reviews and always want restaurants to prosper. But I am so sad to say, this place had THE WORST service EVER. The staff seemed drunk or on drugs. Would highly recommend going somewhere else in Santa Fe. There are so many better options read more

The restaurant that thrives with flavor. Great fresh fish flown in. Andy is one of the most infamous chefs in Santa Fe. You want passion and flavor infusion in every bite? Good! Come here. Homemade breads, desserts. A few classics done right are also on the menu. Plan on cozying up with some wine and a few courses of culinary perfection. read more

Got Christmas Eve dinner here after our first option became unavailable-- and so glad we did. The staff was clearly working hard and facilitated a very smooth, quick takeout experience- on what I imagine may have been a stressful evening for them. Added bonus- it was delicious and traveled well. Thanks y'all- nice work! read more

I so understand the COVID effect on services and service providers. Our unacceptable experience was unrelated. I am allergic to Onion and asked our server for direction or to ask the kitchen for direction. Specifically, we were not looking for the kitchen to creat a dish without onion but rather what dishes would be food-safe without onion or where the onion could easily be left off the plate. The serve seemed terrified to interact with the kitchen on this request but appeared to eventually address the question. He informed me of what the could easily accommodate. When my salad arrived I could smell the toasted onion powder and asked prior to taking a bite. He insisted that there was no onion. After much discussion he returned and said that I had forgotten about the onion. The same issues happened with my entree course. He owned that he 'forgot' and apologized as did the host. This was way too much work in just trying to find ways to have a nice dinner with safe food. After being told what they 'could easily make' that would be safe- none was. Please think twice if you have any food sensitivities OR ALLERGIES. They don't listen and don't get it. The philosophy appears to be "DON'T CHECK WITH THE KITCHEN. APOLOGIZE IF THE GUEST NOTICES." read more

New favorite for dinner in Santa Fe. Had the vegetarian enchiladas and fried chicken stuffed with cream cheese and green chile. Can you say YUM!? The grand margarita was also perfect. Ambiance was cozy and intimate but completely relaxed. Dress code could be casual or formal. We were in jeans but others were much more dressed up. Both were completely comfortable. Pricing also completely reasonable. We will be back! read more

We have eaten here before and had good experience, however tonight the service and food was terrible. We sat for 15 minutes waiting for a waiter. Poor quality French Onion Soup, stone cold fries with the Salmon fish and chips. Entrees of veal piccata was average. The rib eye was ALL fat. The waiter said they would take a portion of it off, I stated that I would not pay. He offered free dessert, we refused. Very disappointed and will not return read more

Our waiter (Rasheed), the atmosphere, the location, the entrees (filet oscar & "Frenched" crisped chicken), and desert (bananas foster prepared table side) were all 5 stars. The filet oscar, while expensive, was the standout; perfectly cooked filet mignon over mashed potatoes in green chile crab queso. The appetizer (coconut shrimp) was maybe 2 stars so the overall rating gets docked for that. First off, it arrived after our entrees, a pet peeve of mine. Secondly, you get 3 medium to large shrimp and enough dipping sauce for 12 shrimp...for $10. I could probably make a dozen XL coconut shrimp at home for that price. If all the appetizers are similar, just skip them. read more

My husband and I had dinner here tonight. The squash blossom appetizer was really good, but the Frenched Chicken was so delicious, and such a good pairing with the Malbec wine, that we don't remember having had such a perfect meal In a long time. We finished with chocolate cake, another good pairing with the wine. The service was excellent; friendly and attentive This will be a regular place for us. Don't miss it! We went back two days later and it was every bit as good as the first time. Beef Stroganoff is not to be missed. Looking forward to the next visit. Thanks! read more

The service, the cocktails, the food, the ambience--all outstanding! We will definitely be returning.

Great food, excellent service, great ambiance! Love this place! Recommend the taco appetizer and the Cesar salad (made from scratch table-side). Yum! read more

The food was delicious. Our server was slow to refill our drinks. I had to flag people down to get a refill. She forgot an extra plate & steak knife. My son ended up using the bread plate and I switched him out mine and used a butter knife. She also gave us the wrong change, didn't put the sauce on the side..... safe to say it was pretty terrible service. HOWEVER it was Mothers Day. Perhaps she was overwhelmed. The food made up for the service. The break was homemade chocolate raisin... omg! The mushroom soup was delicious. The chicken, porterhouse and filet were all amazing! The only thing I wasn't thrilled about were the grilled shrimp appetizer. They had no flavor. The desserts were all good. I wanted to try the butterscotch pie but that had sold out as we were being seated. Oh well, next time. We will def be back! read more

Always amazing! Katie makes the best Pear Martini and Jason made the evening so fun talking about food and drinks and music! Can't wait til next time! read more

I had not been to Dinner for Two in a couple of years. When my friend and I decided to enjoy a nice dinner on my last night in SF, we went to "DFT". I immediately sensed a new vibe since my last visit. We found out that the previous owners had turned over the restaurant to their son and daughter-in-law (Andy and Crystal). The wonderful supper club entree menu is intact including the table side preparation Caesar Salad. The appetizer menu is now very original and inventive. My Delmonico steak dinner was delicious, and my companion's appetizer dinner was amazing. Our waiter, Clayton, was charming and knowledgeable, even though it was his first night on the job. As a seasonable SF resident I can't wait for another visit next summer. read more

Went there on a Sunday night. They have a three course special for $27.95. It is well worth it! They give you many different options to choose from. I had the bone lamb chops. They were perfectly done and delicious. Their Caesar salad is extra, and made tableside. The desserts were amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner any time. read more

service was awful. we were treated terribly by manager who treated us as tourists who he didn't need to worry with coming back. we were rushed thru our meal. 45 min for a nice restaurant is unacceptable unless I tell I need to hurry. food was mediocre. we sat on patio and they dont do table side Caesar salad outside. it does not state that on the menu. bad experience read more

My husband surprised me with reservations to this restaurant one Saturday for a "classy date night," and we almost walked out because of the initial atmosphere impressions and service. You enter by walking right past the kitchen, where we watched a server ignore us for 3 minutes, then left, and eventually the hostess arrived (somewhat upset no less) and sat us in the back of the restaurant. Plus, we were the youngest couple there by at least 20 years. After drinks arrived and our appetizer came we stayed because the food was good. The atmosphere was dark, old-house-like, and therefore had uneven floors if that bothers you. If you want to eat in that type of atmosphere, this is a place with great food and eventual courteous service. We won't be returning though. read more

Extraordinary - Embarrassed to say, I am a local but never tried it before. This is the review you want to write for a local restaurant. The service is attentive and friendly. The filet comes with a pomegranate/balsamic reduction, unexpected and refined. My Veal Marsala was the best I've had in years. If I had a nit, the Caesar was just ok, it could have used more Reggiano Parmesan. One our party reported the bacon wrapped shrimp was just OK. read more

Disappointed with the food. Expensive for the quality we got. Drinks and service were great. Won't be going back.

What can I say about the food, except it was bad, horrible tasting, looked like military packaged food, and it was cold. I would be embarrassed if I was the chef at this restaurant and sent out a dish like we had last night. You can't beat the Bull Ring. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Had their Thursday Special - House Smoked Prime Rib $22.95 For 10oz. It was incredible! And the Bananas Foster- the perfect ending. Service was great too! read more

Very cute outside. Happy hour drinks and food and loved the ambience. Had two great cocktails. Staff was awesome! Will definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere inside or outside. Service was good. Pricey. Food was okay but our entrees both had a sauce on them. If ordering fajitas, ask for tortillas on a separate plate. read more

Cosy ambiance, superb food and attentive service. We came here for dinner on a weekday evening and were thoroughly impressed. Walking in we were greeted by the chef and got a nice view of the kitchen on our way to the dining room. The waiter was both helpful, attentive and warm but not at all intrusive. The filet was cooked to perfection and served with just the right amount of Brussels sprouts and mashed potato. The salmon fish and chips were amazing - fish perfectly cooked in a tempura batter. We got dessert to go, warm fudge cake. A delicious cake that our waiter kindly heated right before we left. A great dining experience. read more

We enjoyed a surprising great food at this overlooked restaurant. It's been around for 17 years and I've been going to Santa Fe for 50+ years and never heard about it! Perhaps other don't share my opinion, I can only write about my experience with friends from England. We started off with raw oysters and muscles. Both were terrific! Oysters were small and tasty. Muscles were in a sauce that was to die for. Never seen them served like this. The sauce was as good as the muscles. With our sourdough bread we mopped up every last drop! Then to the entrees. We tried three different ones. Two of us had medium rare lamb t-bones. The other two had Filet Oscar, medium rare, and Two Bone Center Cut Pork-Chops. All entree's were cooked to perfection and quite tasty. You would think we would have been "rolled out on a gurney"! But no, we had to look at the dessert menu. As you might guess, we ordered two desserts. Bananas Foster for two and a Blueberry Tart Special. OMG! They were both wonderful! Next time you're in Santa Fe, try this terrific 4-5 star restaurant! I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

I was so happy with everything about this spot. Drinks were great, food was wonderful, service was spectacular.

This place is wacko. I went here because I was on a business trip and the host at our B&B recommended it and made a reservation for us. The entrance does not face the street, so if you are walking the direction we were, you have to look behind you in order to see it. Good thing I looked behind me. We walked in and were greeted by messy papers all around, and restaurant supplies, and a computer at a little table/desk. Did we walk in the back door by mistake and land in the office? No. Next is the open kitchen. Someone yelled over that they'd be with us shortly. Hmm. Ok. This woman comes over and brings us in. We were seated with some formality and I asked for water with no ice. I was brought water with ice. I opened the menu, and the prices were hefty. Didn't seem at all like a fancy/pricey restaurant from the outside or from the entry area. It seemed like the opposite, in fact. Weird. I didn't immediately see anything vegetarian, and then I started to see a couple of the small plates. That's the other odd thing -- y'know those chinese places where you pick the family meal with two things from column A and three from column B? That's like this place. They do a small plates/tasting menu, where you can get the Tasting for $24 (one thing from each of four columns), Magnificent for high-$20s (one extra thing from a particular column), or Decadent for $30s which allows one more thing. It is possible to order an entree instead, and the entrees are just the same things as the small plates, probably in larger portions. You can also order individual small plates ala carte. These small plates are not the kind that are made for sharing. I got the standard Tasting menu, and for my starter, the Chilled Avocado Soup special sounded good. I explained to the server that I was vegetarian, and asked if there was a meat base to the soup. She came back and said that there was no meat but some chicken. I believe chicken is meat, because it is a dead animal that people eat, but I suppose in some people's worlds there is a big difference between meat and poultry. Whatever. I ordered the crispy vegetables spring roll instead. Man, was that thing hard to eat. There was no indication on the menu that it was spicy, but the thing had dried red chilis in it and was hot. Also, do you pick this thing up or cut it? It was rather unwieldy to pick up with the fingers, and since it wasn't an enclosed roll, stuff started sliding out. Ok, let's try knife and fork. Well, then the whole thing falls apart and the crispy outside crumbles and gets messy. Given that the restaurant was fancy and I was with my boss, I opted for knife and fork, but it was pretty hard getting the thing into my tummy. For my second thing I ordered the multiple kinds of mushroom "purse" (pasta pouch thingy) with cream sauce. I asked if it was vegetarian, and my server came back and said it was. Figured it sounded it, but best to be on the safe side. Well, the darn thing was covered in caviar. Since when is that vegetarian? Ok, I guess technically they are eggs and vegetarians eat eggs, but since you have to take a fish and scrape out her insides to get these things, I wouldn't consider them vegetarian. I mean, that's like killing a mammal and scraping the ova out of the ovaries and eating them. Sure, it's eggs, but it's not vegetarian. It's also a really gross concept. I took one bite, realized what they were, and couldn't eat the rest. I tried scraping the caviar-infested sauce off the thing (sauce tasted gross too -- overly creamy), but that didn't work. Not having such great luck. But I was really looking forward to the third thing -- a potage of white beans, heirloom tomatoes, herbs, etc. Definitely vegetarian and sounding filling and yummy. Well, it had a ton of cheese on it, so I could hardly enjoy the flavors of the other ingredients. There was more cheese than non-cheese. For a healthy veggie type, this place was totally striking out. Finally I got my key lime pie. Can't go wrong with that, right? Well, you can if you completely surround and smother the thing with whipped cream, which they explained they had done because the pie is so tart. Ok. I avoided the oodles of cream as best I could and ate the pie, which was small, but tart and pretty yummy. Less sweet than most, but still good. Throughout, the server was overly polite and very much making sure to take the plates away from the correct side and serve them from the other side and other snooty nonsense, without actually being a good server in any way. At least the bathroom was clean and colorful, with red/yellow/green/blue bright tiles and little plaques with the history of chocolate, honey, and rosemary. My colleague tells me the men's room had a freaky motion sensor flopping singing fish on the wall, that was literally quite disturbing. Overall, I would not recommend. read more

Last night was my second night to eat there. It is close to the hotel where I stay when I am in. The first time in October, I would have given it a 3.5 star, but last night was awful. Food was cold and mediocre. Crab cakes tasted like hockey pucks. Likewise with the heaviness. Fish was inedible. Usually, I will send food back, but I was with a table of four more. Everyone commented that the food was "just mediocre." Waitress was a zombie. Not very attentive. We had to ask her, after an hour, about our entrees. There were 5 of us. They were not unduly busy for a Friday night. The ultimate insult: Gratunity was added on for meal. Fair enough since one woman was paying for whole meal on business account (we are here on business) Individually, three of us got check for a glass of wine because it was not covered by business, of course). Gratuity for 5 was added on for each one of us. So, my class came to 7.50, and she gave me check for 10.51. She had added on gratuity after tax. I left 10. The manager came to pick it up and when she saw the 10, said "It's 10.51." I kid you not. Perhaps the defintion of grauitity has changed. I felt held hostage. We had NO demands at our table, no one was rude. When our director went to pay the food bill, the manager said, "Aren't you going to give her extra gratuity?" Seriously. needless to say, I will not darken their doors again, nor witll I recommend them. Not nice experience. read more

Don't be deceived by outside appearances - I'll admit I wouldn't go here during several summer visits because the place looks sketchy from the outside. It took the recommendation of a total stranger on the airport shuttle to prompt me to go. Well, I wish we had gone sooner. We'll be back! Nicely appointed interior, attentive waitstaff, greetings from the cashier - we were off to the right start. We enjoyed Qupe 2006 Syrah as recommended by our waiter - excellent choice. We both decided to choose the sampler size portions for the evening - an excellent choice as we left feeling full but not stuffed. Having seen others choose the full-sized portions, doggy bags would have been in order. I started with the seared tuna with sauteed calamari and hot peppers - yum! Secondi was the veal piccata with mashed potatoes (infused with onions), another hit. My lovely wife had the veal Marsala - she raved about it as well. We finished by sharing a dessert of creme brulee that capped off a delicious evening. This place is worth your time and money! read more

My husband and I sat at the bar and had dinner and drinks. We had a fabulous time talking with the staff and the other patrons, and the food was excellent. Try the bananas foster. read more
