The restaurant is an easy walk from the Santa Fe Plaza area. It has an indoor and an outdoor bar. The outdoor bar looks like a great stop for a break if you are walking around Santa Fe during the warmer months. The house drinks are fun and creative. Everything we ordered was delicious well platted. This is a smaller portion, high end sort of place; however, the prices are better than most. Service was quick and attentive. There was a fun crowd and the energy was good. This was a very positive experience. I would definitely return. read more

What a beautiful restaurant! Went for my birthday; the food was terrific! Had the Surf and Turf with coffee and chocolate crusted filet mignon, lobster tail and coconut shrimp. Hubby said scallop fettuccine was exquisite! Topped it off with tableside bananas foster. Kudos to our servers! read more

Outstanding steak (cooked perfectly) and appetizers. Service was exceptional. Homemade Worcester was amazing. Price was fair and reasonable. Ambiance is as expected for date night. read more

Came here for a date night and sat on the patio. The atmosphere is nice, aside from the occasional loud car passing by since its near Guadalupe. There is also a parking lot for restaurant guests past Casa Chimayo which we had to search for in the beginning. Food: We got two Rib Eye Steaks, a coke, truffle risotto appetizer, and a Prosecco glass. The cocktails look fun but seemed a bit pricey to me. Wanted to try the Caesar salad table-side, but they do not offer that on the patio. The Risotto was amazing! Ribeye was good, but the sides that come with it were not very. The onion rings were bland and the vegetables were soggy and salty... i usually love onion rings but I couldn't finish those. Staff was friendly and helpful. Not the fastest service but we were fine sitting and waiting. Lastly, my partner was unpleasantly surprised that theres an automatic 20% gratuity. I mean, all service workers deserve their tips of course, but we didn't expect it to be added automatically. Not sure we'd come back here? But after seeing it on Yelp a bunch I'm glad we at least tried it. read more

Dinner for Two - Our receipt - with automatic service gratuity - Steakhouses Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We have dined at this restaurant several times and last night met friends there for happy hour. The experience was not as good as in the past, the margarita was all ice, weak and not what I remember the drink was in the past. We all ordered "happy hour" snacks, I ordered the beef tenderloins and the were dry and only had four small pieces on my plate. My wife had their tacos and those looked good. The service staff were great. read more

Made a last minute reservation yesterday to get in for dinner. The staff was very friendly and we were seated right on time. We opted for crab cakes, table side Caesar salad and the chateaubriand along with a couple glasses of wine. I was a little disappointed that everything except the tenderloin was under seasoned. The crab cakes, the Caesar, the vegetables.. everything needed a bit of salt. The tenderloin was perfectly cooked and had delicious flavor. For this price point though, I would expect a bit more all the way around. Now seeing another review about automatic gratuity being added, I wish I had liked closer at the bill. Waitstaff absolutely earn their money but if gratuity was already included, I spent far too much after adding a generous extra tip. Not sure I would hurry back with so many other places in town. read more

The food is amazing, like the guy playing music, the ambiance is calm joyful yet classy enough

We went for Christmas Eve. The food and service were fantastic. We had prime rib and stuffed trout. Both were great. read more

Half price apps were delicious! The beef tips were so tender and tasty, we ordered more! Cocktails were pricey, but it was worth it for the ambiance of this joint. We also had the bananas foster for two. We were able to share that amongst 4 people. SCRUMPTIOUS! read more

We had a reservation for the bar for New Year's Eve. From the looks of it, this is a place locals frequent. We met the owner as well as the chef and they were mingling with everyone & everyone knew them by name! They had a set menu, $109 per person which includes 3 courses. (Definitely a place for a special occasion, anniversary, date night etc) The staff's service was AMAZING, probably the best service we received in all New Mexico not just from our server and the bartender but you can tell everyone genuinely likes working there. The food was wonderful as well. If you sit at the bar you get to see all the action going in the kitchen. It was truly the highlight of our trip. read more

This restaurant deserves ten stars because EVERYTHING was amazing. It's located near downtown, has plenty of parking, and has inside and outdoor dining. We were greeted warmly by the manager and seated at a quiet, corner table/booth even though we didn't have a reservation. They have white tablecloths, fresh roses and candles at every table. Immediately our server Clayton brought water and menus. He was the nicest waiter I've ever met. He had good recommendations and was very attentive. They have an awesome happy hour menu with sampler sizes of their best items for great prices. We ordered butternut squash soup with sage foam, oyster mushroom truffle bisque, coconut shrimp, lobster fish and shoestring fries, beef tips with green chili queso, mushroom risotto, mussels in tomato broth, and chocolate fudge cake. We ate every single bite and wanted to lick the plates. The food was that delicious!! The manager and several other servers stopped to ask how we were doing. We felt like celebrity locals even though this was our first time in Santa Fe. It was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. I wish we lived in Santa Fe so we could eat here more often. read more

Woooowww! Stopped here on a recommendation from a local, and I have to say this was an awesome culinary and libation experience! We came in on a Saturday and they were having happy hour from 4-6. During this time you get smaller potions of their entrees for about half the price. These are not your average apps, the food is inventive and delicious at every turn. Here's what we tried; smoked steak nachos- great steak with tasty queso sauce! Beef tips with green Chile queso- beef tips were so tender they buckled my knees Coconut shrimp- pretty good but on the smaller side Pork fusion slider- it's a pulled pork slider with a creamy slaw, tasty! Shrimp Scampi fettuccine- you gotta try it! The noodles were cooked to perfection Surf and turn- great steak and lobster that you don't expect to find in NM I can't wait to come back for the rest of the menu! 5 stars!!! read more

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant tonight. We brought our ten year old daughter and asked our waiter Zack if there were any off menu items for children. Although, there were not, I told Zack her and I would share the fajitas. When they arrived, the entire table was shocked at how small the portion size was. Many of them insisting that it must be an appetizer. I called Zack over who confirmed that this was in fact their entree portion. There was less than 1/4 of a chicken breast cut into small overcooked slices. I gave the food to my daughter and didn't eat. I looked forward to this meal all day that I skipped eating until then. We are not concerned with money. We would have gladly purchased two meals. I was extremely disappointed in Zack and his failure to tell us that our meal was barely enough for one much less two people. read more

This place is amazing and we will be back. Lots of locals interacting with the business owner and the waiter shared he is a great employer. We had the table side Caesar salad, veal piccata, table side bananas foster and it was all top notch. It was just as great, if not better, than our Geronimo date the previous night. I love excellent food and this place delivers. I wasn't much on the bar seating but I'll so be back the next time I am in town and will be telling all my friends at home for their upcoming trips as well. read more

Great service and delicious veal Varsala (recommended by Carmen)! The carrot cake is amazing as well!

The filet mignon's were cooked perfectly however the sides were like boxed potatoes and stewed brussels sprouts. We we're seated by the bar area in the kitchen and the table was too small.. very much overpriced read more

My family and I went to happy hour at Dinner For Two yesterday evening. The cocktails were imaginative and yummy. I live in Santa Fe and for quality of food and price this restaurant has no equal.. The happy hour runs from four till six with a wide variety of tasty small plates for $10 each. The restaurant is a popular place for birthdays and anniversaries. The dinner menu is extensive and interesting. We highly recommend the restaurant. read more

for food... And drinks... Dinner for two is amazing! Especially at happy hour! The one thing i will say is that the music is crazy loud, and if you deign to ask them to turn it down - I didn't, but several people have - they turn it up. it's a bad look and it takes away from the enjoyment of the amazing everything else. read more

We really enjoyed dinner here. We went for a birthday and they did not dissapoint. The table side Caesar was good but the croutons were the real superstar of the dish - freshly made, crunchy, warm and deliciously seasoned. We got their Strip steak and mussels and both were very good, however the steak didn't come with Worcestershire or blue cheese as listed on the menu. For dessert we got the table side bananas foster and it was amazing. Definitely would recommend as a fancy dinner spot. read more

We have been to Dinner for Two countless times but the last two experiences were enough for us that we will NEVER go there again. First off we had our REHEARSAL DINNER there last year for 15 people and I made the reservation months in advance. The reservation was noted and confirmed in my Open Table account. However come our rehearsal dinner time, there was NO RESERVATION TO BE FOUND! They told our entire rehearsal dinner party that we were going to have to wait an hour and a half to be seated. We were all very upset and the owner Andy Barnes whom I made the reservation with on the phone did nothing to accommodate to HIS mistake. It took over 3 hours to get our food which was fine at best. Nothing like our previous times and certainly not good enough for a rehearsal dinner. ONE YEAR later for our ANNIVERSARY, we decided to have our dinner at Dinner for Two to give them a second chance because the food had been great in the past. Made the reservation and yet again it was another wait. While, we were waiting we were sitting next to the kitchen and watched the table side Caesar cart be brought back and... TWO EMPLOYEES STARTED EATING OUT OF THE SERVING BOWL WITH THEIR HANDS AND LICKING THEIR FINGERS OVER THE ICE MACHINE. THEY DIDN'T WASH THEIR HANDS AND THEN STARTED SCOOPING OUT ICE WITH THEIR HANDS INTO WATER GLASSES. THEY STILL HAVEN'T WASHED THEIR HANDS, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO PICK UP DINNER PLATES AND SERVE THEM. IT WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING TO HAVE WATCHED AND WE LEFT IMMEDIATELY. DINNER FOR TWO IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING AND DISGUSTING. AND TO THINK I HAD MY REHEARSAL EXPERIENCE AND I TRIED TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE. NEVER AGAIN. read more

Everything was wonderful! I don't know what else to say. Out of three evening meals this week, Dinner for Two was outstanding.

Third review and the best as always because of the food, service, and ambiance in the restaurant. Clean comforting and amazing all around. Been here three times and is the go to location for New Mexico! If you're visiting from out of state be sure to come to Santa Fe! read more

We came for Valentine's Day & it was our very first time here. It was definitely a memorable one! We made reservations a while back, which I always recommend making, being that you never know how busy a place may be on any particular night. Parking for the restaurant is located just down the street & not too far of a walk. When we arrived we were seated almost immediately & were given a fresh rose to celebrate the occasion. The dining room is big & the tables are seated next to each other. I thought I would have an issue with this seating arrangement but it was not bad at all. We had some small talk with our fellow diners about the different drinks we had. The drinks were definitely one of the highlights! We ordered the Damé tu leche/Chingon Margarita/The Brute Force & La Llorona Tears. All were very good & came with their own personality and style. We also ordered the Table Side Caesar, a nice show and it was interesting to see the salad freshly made in front of you including the croutons. The waiter was very nice & asked how much of particular ingredients we wanted over all in our salad. I must say it was the best Caesar Salad I've had. For our entree, I had the New York Strip & my significant other had the Seafood Sampler. Both were excellent choices & cooked to perfection. It was the perfect portion, we had enough room to ask for dessert. They have quite a nice selection of choices, all freshly made. We chose the Tres Leches Cake. It was over the moon! I was very much satisfied with our service, food & drinks. I definitely recommend this place for a nice night out whether you're in town for a night or two; or just to have a nice night out in general. Now the price is up there but for what you're paying, it is all worth it! No doubt we will be returning for another great evening & to dip into other menu items. read more

Staff was amazing. We sat in the bar and enjoyed crab cakes, nachos and salad with Margheritas. Our waiter provided nice suggestions for a light dinner. This was our final night in Santa Fe and this restaurant was a great ending to a quick weekend get away. We will be back! read more

Happy hour is sooooo good! We had a phenomenal bartender Katie-I hope it's spelled with a 'K'. She made some great recommendations for what to chose, which is hard because everything sounded amazing! She made great drinks and had great conversation! I wish I had time to actually eat dinner there but definitely some of the best food I had while visiting Santa Fe read more

I would give 3.5 if I could but 3 isn't quite right, so they are getting 4. Service was great. Caesar salad prep at the table was wonderful. Steaks were pretty good but there are better steak places. Seemed a bit under seasoned to both of us. read more

We love Dinner for Two in Santa Fe. The summer patio is so much fun! We also enjoy the guitar player when dining indoors. Live music is very nice. The Love Bubble is my favorite drink.

Food and service were top notch. Sometimes available seating is at a premium and staff aren't always accommodating. But this time went without a hitch. read more

First, don't let the name throw you off, they do have tables for more than two. On the other hand, it is the perfect place for an intimate dinner. We were in Santa Fe for our anniversary, and this was the right choice. My wife had the crab stuffed trout and I had the veal Picatti, and both were excellent. But mostly it was the ambiance. The service was top notch, but not overwhelming, and the restaurant atmosphere was quiet and romantic. read more

Great happy hour prices, drinks, food and service. The Margaritas ($7) were fresh without high fructose corn syrup. Crown and Coke was perfect. Try the wings or salmon fish and chips- yummy! Enjoy! read more

The service was unbelievable here-- the table side caesar salad and bananas foster were both amazing. We were here celebrating a birthday and it was a great experience. The drinks were fabulous and super fun. The meals were great too, but the table side dishes were by far the best part. Overall, I would definitely recommend! read more

Sad to say was not impressed at all with this restaurant. We sat in the bar and each had a "small pour" gin martini and then the tableside Caesar salad with chicken. The server never made this Caesar salad before and had another server guide her thru it. Why on earth would the restaurant manager not have the server "practice" making this salad for two in the back of the house before using us as the test patrons? Not very professional. The Caesar salad for two cost $42 and it was just ok. Didn't order anything else - doubt we will return. read more
