so far the most amazing restaurant we've been to in Santa Fe in 2 years that we've been living here. The service is outstanding, every dish is perfect in flavor and portion. For Santa Fe standards can be on the expensive side but compared to California prices are reasonable. We loved every bite of it and for sure will be back. read more

Geronimo - Tellicherry Rubbed Elk Tenderloin - French Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Geronimo has been a favorite of mine since I first went there, as a tourist, in 1993. Have had dinner there on New Year's Eve many times, also as a tourist. Then we moved to Santa Fe and have always taken our guests there and have gone there for many special occasions. The food is delicious, and the service, very good. We have always sat in the lovely little lounge for a couple drinks before sitting for dinner, but that has been taken away because they have started seating the lounge for dinner. It was always a great part of the Geronimo-dinner event. I love the lounge and I love the dining room and used to be able to enjoy both. Can't anymore and that's a shame. This was always a 5 star restaurant for me but I'm now reluctant to go because, for me, it isn't what it was. Makes me sad. If you are someone who doesn't care about having a cocktail before sitting for dinner, go, by all means. It's lovely. But for me, not as lovely as it was. read more

This was our favorite restaurant, but as some of the reviews mention some of the people here have become condescending. They don't seem to care either about losing customers. It's a shame. read more

We ordered take away because A. couldn't get a reservation in time and B. they don't allow kids under the age of 10. Take away was however delicious! Particularly loved their miso cod with ramen and their tuna tartar. Both steak meat options were also flavorful and tender. They packed everything really well so although it led to a lot of containers particularly for the different sauces, it allowed the flavor and quality to remain. Only complaint is that they didn't pack us any silverware. read more

Geronimo's has to be one the top restaurants in the state. We have been here several times in the past so we knew, this was where we wanted to go for our Golden Anniversary Dinner. We had a great table with a corner banquette so super comfortable seating. They started us off with complimentary Champaign. The bread basket included a lavash infused with local spices that had a little heat. There were also chili breads and sourdough, both of which were great. We then had the Quail and Foie Gras for an appetizer. Every component was incredible from the well seasoned and dressed Friese salad on top to the proteins. The Quail was the most flavorful leg I have ever tasted with deep flavor throughout. Of course, the Foie Gras was sublime in texture and taste. It was a fantastic starter. The main course was a 5 rib rack of the largest lamb ribs I have ever been served. Both of us had our requested level of doneness cooked to perfection. The pea puree and Merlot reduction were delicious with the polenta. We were both full by the end but had to split some desert. The finishing touch was a piece of artwork as they brought what appeared to be a poached apple but was actually a thin shell of white chocolate shaded to appear like a golden apple. Upon cracking the shell was a fantastic apple filling which was all complimented by the ice cream and caramel sauce. Truly a romantic and special place to dine. read more

Parking wasn't the best even though we were told the restaurant had a lot nearby. But it was basically used for valet. We were greeted very warmly by the hostess as we were celebrating our anniversary. Our table was in a crowded room, not the greatest. But the hostess came back almost immediately and asked if we would like to change to a table near a fireplace in another room. Sure! It really changed the whole evening and we were so grateful for the cozy, romantic nook. We were treated with some lovely champagne and our waitress was extremely personable and efficient. The food was outstanding. We've eaten at the best places in the US and our evening was memorable for all the right reasons Highly recommend read more

This was our second visit to Geronimo; we went last year for the first time also in SF for the opera. This time, I was not impressed with our server who was not particularly professional. I was also not thrilled that we were seated outside in the corner. I asked for another table and was told no. The food was good, perhaps not quite as on point as a year ago but the restaurant was very busy that night. My bigger complaint is that we tried to return the following night for a drink and were told that the restaurant was closed. It was definitely not closed and we saw many diners eating what was easily their first or second course. Given that we had literally been there the previous night, I was not happy that they would not accommodate us for one drink. I definitely feel like this is a place for regulars but they need to recognize you. Might or might not return. If you go, definitely sit inside. read more

I can't review the food because the hostess looked at us like gum stuck to her shoe. Granted we had on t shirts and shorts, but if that was the problem she could have just told us we were under dressed. This was during the Canyon Road Summer Walk. Yes, they were busy, but politeness doesn't cost anything. We could more than afford to eat there, but with that attitude why would we want to? read more

Geronimo - Grilled Maine Lobster Tails - French Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We had a wonderful dinner here with family. The staff were top notch, from the welcoming, fun and friendly valet to our waiter, Jay who was a smart foodie and provided excellent recommendations for our choices. We all got something different and all loved our choices. The desserts were spectacular and visually stunning. Make sure you save room! We especially liked the no small children and no cell phones recommendation which provided for a lovely evening of conversation and a stellar meal. The only thing I would suggest is that if you get hot easily, to ask to not be seated by the fireplaces since they are uncomfortably warm. No pics, since they ask for no cell phones, but the food and presentation were perfect. read more

Amazing food and service, romantic atmosphere. You won't be disappointed! The sea bass, lobster bisque, and seafood risotto were all on point read more

I consistently rate high, because I try to make good choices, and have been a little lucky. Perhaps I'm a bit emotional lately, but I cannot remember a meal that was so lovely, it made me weep. I've had foie, but never before like this. Even the perfect char was weightless, melting seamlessly into each ethereal bite. There's food that's pretty, but here each element has purpose - texture, flavor, extra delight with each bite. Paired with a delicate French rose, magic on the palate. Elise and Mauro were an incredible team, delivering service like a well orchestrated symphony. I never had to worry or wonder, nor was I bothered (aside from some obnoxious ladies at the next table). Surrounded by the most elegant artwork, understated yet exquisite - every element of atmosphere on point. Elise offered a half-order of Prawns, a lucky catch while dining alone. Sweet and savory with the perfect balance of heat. Chef offers a vegetarian tasting, but dishes are offered a la carte, which allowed me to sample the risotto - savory Parmesan married up next to clean basil and tangy artichoke. Flavors were glorious, but lacking a touch of liquid, perhaps cooked into the less crisp than I'd like asparagus. I finished with what I'm calling my Chocolate Dream, because it's perfectly indescribable, and I wanted it to continue forever. Rich and weightless yet silky with crunchy bits and a chocolate halo (pro-tip: used to scrape up the plated caramel - no shame, it's decadent!). I sigh. I'm lacking details because I was very present and quite speechless. Wine pairings were elegant, exactly what one might expect in the best of circumstances. They have earned every accolade, deserve all the rest. read more

In our opinion, the best restaurant in Santa Fe. I always get the elk and my wife loves the lamb. The servers are excellent with just the right amount of attentiveness. Excellent wine list to pair with your meal. Normally we like to eat in the cozy bar but we chose outside for the first time. If the weather is good, I highly recommend sitting outside. Less crowded and quiet. read more

Been here several times, brought my in-laws here, my parents here, celebrated anniversaries and birthdays here but these last two times have been a little less than satisfactory.. after being recommended this place by a pastry chef we know we were hooked the service this time seemed to have lacked from the host. After making a reservation I called about our seating to see if it was in the main dining because it was labeled different online , she came off a little condescending and irritated that I asked whoever their old hostess was would love to have her back! Food last few times left myself and my family feeling a little sick after.. I don't think I'll be back here but I hope if you do stop by it's a little more than welcoming and enjoyable! read more

This is worth any drive while in Albuquerque/ Santa Fe area! Make sure to make reservations in advance and if your lucky enough to sit at the bar do it! From the warm welcome, to their in sync performance behind the bar! I wish I could remember their names, just the best guys! The food...we started with the mushroom bisque which is creamy and sweet with sherry, absolutely devine! My husband had the elk tenderloin, he said the best he's ever had anywhere!! Tender and delicious with the mash and sweet peas. I had the special, halibut with lobster & lump crab in a cream sauce atop risotto!! Cooked to perfection! Some times it can be overcooked but this was light and flaky. We were also sat next to a great couple who I know we'll become good friends to see every time we travel through. It's a beautiful dining area and seating looks great throughout. Chatter heard lightly not too obtrusive so you can hear each other at all times. Just beautiful!! Thank you for an amazing dinner and time!! read more

The food was very inventive and super yummy! The cocktail menu, likewise, was full of interesting options. Service was top notch, just what you'd expect from higher end dining. The room was cozy, and decorated with local artwork. We had the carpaccio, lobster bisque, lamb chops, and the lobster pasta dish. Wowza! What a great night. Would highly recommend. read more

We dined at Geronimo Tuesday July 8th. Before I get into the food, I have to talk about the staff and service. From the hostess to our server john, every step of service was on point. The busser, the food runner, the perfect recommendations for wine pairing, everything was impeccable. My husband ordered the lamb chops and I ordered the NZ elk loin. We started with the Asian pair salt and beet salad, both were amazing, both in taste and presentation. The elk was tender and barely gamy. The lamb chops were just top notch. we didn't have room for desert, sadly. Highly recommend but make sure you make a reservation. read more

I wish I could say our recent visit to Geronimo's lived up to the exceptional experiences we've had here in the past. Unfortunately, it was quite the opposite. My family and I have dined at Geronimo's many times over the years and have always been impressed with the food and service. However, this visit left us feeling disappointed and frustrated, especially as it relates to accessibility and staff accommodation. We arrived with my fiancé's mother, who uses a wheelchair. Upon entering, the hostess asked if she could go up the stairs to a table on the second level--a puzzling question considering her obvious mobility limitations. We requested seating on the first floor instead, and the staff hastily set up a small table near the fireplace. This table was cramped, uncomfortable, and far from ideal. My father-in-law was seated directly next to where the waitstaff were working on their POS system, and he was bumped into repeatedly throughout the evening. Anyone would have been irritated by this constant disruption. What made the situation worse was that another table on the first floor became available after we were seated, but the staff made no effort to move us to the more spacious and comfortable spot. The lack of effort or consideration was disappointing, especially given our past positive experiences at Geronimo's. The most insulting part of the evening, however, came as we were leaving. The staff suddenly produced a ramp to help my mother-in-law off the curb and into the road--a ramp that could have easily been used earlier to accommodate her for seating upstairs or to provide better access. The oversight felt dismissive and frustrating. To their credit, the food itself was excellent, as it always has been. The staff also comped a $14 dessert, but considering our bill totaled over $400, this gesture felt more like an afterthought than meaningful compensation for such a disappointing experience. They also offered to add a note to our OpenTable profile for future visits, but that seemed like a Band-Aid measure compared to the pre-COVID standard of care we've come to expect at Geronimo's. We use to recommend Geronimo's to all our family and friends, but after this experience, we no longer feel comfortable doing so. If you have mobility challenges or are looking for a restaurant that excels in customer service, Geronimo's may no longer be the place for you. read more

​We dined at Geronimo during the Santa Fe NM Wine and Chili Fiesta. We had not been to the restaurant for several years, but it was as good as ever! The meal began with glasses of complimentary champagne. A first-class touch! We ordered martinis from the craft cocktail list, and both were delicious. We shared the Wagyu beef carpaccio appetizer, and it was every bit as good as it looks. Next, we shared the endive salad, which was amazing, especially the dressing, a sweet onion vinaigrette.​ Our entrées included the green miso sea bass, as well as the beef tenderloin and frites. Both entrees were delicious, a ​journey of ​culinary fantasy.​ It was a great night, so we had two desserts! The meyer lemon crepe was crazy good. We also had the collapsing green apple with sorbet. Difficult to explain, but amazing on the palate. Service was outstanding as always, attentive but not intrusive. All in all, a fantastic meal and a great evening. We'll be back ... read more

This was the best dinner I had in New Mexico. I found myself thinking about it for the rest of the trip. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and very personable. We felt like we knew her for years. We ordered the elk and the lamb and both dishes were FLAWLESS. You cannot beat the food, service, and ambiance. I promise this will be one of the best experiences of your life! read more

One of the finest restaurants in the US. Geronimo is always on the list whenever we are in Santa Fe. The sea bass is exceptional.

Incredible experience! Exceptional service so delicious menu. Sit outside on the porch of the weather permits. read more

Despite our lack of reservations, we came to Geronimo recently for a spontaneous dinner celebration and had an outstanding experience.  We were seated at what ended up being the last table in the bar area; the ambiance was cozy and our server provided excellent, unobtrusive service, she even gave us several spot-on menu recommendations :-) Everything we ordered that night was cooked perfectly, with exceptional presentation that enhanced the already first-tier flavor profiles.  We shared the green veggies, Beef Tenderloin, Australian lobster tails, and the mushroom soup.  Our hands-down favorite was the Beef Tenterloin, it was served with a generous helping of delicious golden fries and four different sauces; it was almost good enough to die for! ;-) Honorable mention goes to the Australian lobster tails.  Often I don't enjoy this dish elsewhere because they tend to dry out, but Geronimo's version doesn't have that problem at all.  They're seasoned with exactly the right blend of spices, which results in a wonderful flavor profile. From beginning to end, we completely enjoyed our visit to Geronimo - I highly recommend this restaurant, and look forward to returning soon! read more

We always enjoy our trips to Santa Fe and Geronimo is one of our favorite restaurants. The service is great and the food is amazing. The elk is a must as well as the prawns and sea bass. We also love the beet burrata salad and cesar salads. The crab cakes are also delicious. The toffee creme brûlée is unusual and delicious. The drink menu has changed a bit so we will try and work our way down the list. Can't wait to go back!9 read more

This restaurant is located on Canyon Rd in Santa Fe near all the art galleries. Parking is very limited in the area, but they do offer valet. There is a lot of seating and the restaurant is partitioned into rooms. This is a small portion and high price sort of place. The food tasted great and all the flavors were well developed. The only thing I was taken back by was the fact that ramen is worked into a lot of dishes. The service was great and very attentive. Overall, this was a great restaurant and experience. read more

The elk was spectacular! I had to say that first. It was served perfectly medium-rare, but I started with wild mushroom/sherry bisque, which was light and savory. Ended with the tres leches dessert, which was surprisingly light and not too sweet. Endless yums! Excellent and attentive service. A worthwhile restaurant experience while in Santa Fe. read more

Words cannot describe how good Geronimo is, but we'll do our best. First, valet was outstanding. Which, once you see the tight quarters of the location, you'll appreciate. We sat outside (highly recommend). Service was impeccable. Attentive without being overbearing. Asked for recommendations from our server, and was steered in the right direction every time. The elk is phenomenal. The gnocchi was outstanding. But the two highlights: the wasabi Caesar salad and the lemon crepe. Two of the best dishes I have ever had. Make a reservation, then after your meal make another. Simply a fantastic experience. read more

Fine, expensive and delicious dining. Was going to get the salmon but waitress said everyone comes for the elk. Ordered it medium and it was perfectly tender and cooked w nice pink color. Lovely service and starting w complementary champagne. Had the glass of less expensive Pinot and it was perfect. Wasabi Caesar nice choice. Had wonderful booth and enjoyed the splurge dining experience in beautifully decorated setting. Free valet. read more

Geronimo has been on my bucket list ever since I moved to New Mexico in 2020 and I am so glad I finally got to try it! The restaurant has received so many amazing accolades and I can definitely see why because this meal was one of the best I've had. It takes the top spot for my favorite restaurant in NM for sure! It is a splurge, but it was well worth it to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I made the reservation through open table and our host and server made sure to make the bday boy feel special. The timing of the meal was perfect and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the waitstaff came to clear our plates, fill up water, and box our to go item. It was so on point and I can see why they've been around for 30 years! The restaurant is beautifully decorated and screams elegance. We sat in the bar section, but at a table which I preferred over the counter so that we could talk amongst ourselves but still see the bartenders in action. For the food, I mean wow! The style is American with Asian and French influence so everything was so flavorful and looked like fancy artwork. I wanted to take pictures, but I held off this time around to be present for the celebration lol. The crab cakes and lobster bisque were awesome. I love how the purée and the bisque were poured table-side. For my entree, I had the miso sea bass which was had a delicious truffle flavored broth filled with ramen noodles and bok choy. I could only finish the fish but that was the best part. It was so delicate and delicious. My boyfriend had the souse vide pork shank special and this was absolutely delectable. For dessert, I had to try the Apple and the chocolate cake. Both were exceptional and we couldn't have had a better meal. read more

Excellent... just excellent. This was probably our best dining experience (certainly our best fine dining experience) in our month-long stay in Santa Fe. The ambiance was decidely upscale with the service to match. But the focus, and where they truly excelled, was with their food- as it should be with a restaurant of this caliber. Excellent glass of champagne to start the meal... so very European. It really set the stage... All of the food here was wonderful. But what really stood out for me was the foi gras, steak & frites, the local lamb chops, the ramen (not to be missed- we wanted another bowl), and the meyer lemon crepe. This was a 5-star experience all the way around. Not to be missed if in Santa Fe... read more

Geronimo is located on Canyon Road, a street full of high-end art galleries. We knew for this night we needed to up our game when it came to dress and attire. The restaurant serves Eclectic New American cuisine in a stunning 1756 adobe home. It's beautifully decorated, with multiple dining rooms. Of the four restaurants we dined at this week, we were the most impressed by our server, Elise. She had worked at Geronimo when she first moved to Santa Fe and then worked at other restaurants prior to the pandemic. But now she's back and was superb in terms of menu guidance, personality and doing those little extra things that make an evening memorable. The Wagyu Beef Carpaccio was a perfect starter for the table, with mustard-horseradish sauce, herb oil and wild arugula. Yum! As a fan of wasabi, I had to try the Wasabi Caesar. If you fear that it might be too intense on a salad, don't worry, it's very subtle. The organic Romaine Spears was super fresh and crunchy. The croutons are made from crispy rice. Unfortunately, no one ordered the renown Wild Mushroom & Sherry Bisque. So, I asked Elise if there was a way I could just have a tasting of the soup. Well, out she comes with three tiny bowls of this decadent soup for our entire table. One of Elise's recommendations was the Fiery Sweet Chile & Honey-Grilled Mexican White Prawns. Be ready to be impressed with the presentation. Our table also ordered the 72-Hour Sous Vide Beef Short Ribs and the New Mexico Four Corners Grilled Rack of Lamb. The short ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful. And the lamb featured the two largest chops I've seen served at a fine-dining restaurant. My friend who ordered them said they are the standard he'll compare lamb against at other restaurants. For dessert, we ordered the Apple. It looks like an Apple, but is made from Roasted Apples, White Chocolate Mousse, Butterscotch Sauce, Toasted Cinnamon Crumbs and served with Cognac Ice Cream. Double yum! Geronimo is an awesome restaurant, that could easily be located in New York or Chicago. Santa Fe is lucky to be home to such a superb restaurant. read more

Anything less than five stars is a lie. After looking up "best restaurants in Santa Fe," we were able to make a reservation on short notice. Nonetheless, we were ecstatic Geronimo was able to accommodate our party of two and we headed over for an early dinner. Craig, Joseph, the food, and drink were phenomenal from start to finish. I was so overwhelmed by the menu because everything truly sounded amazing. We started with a few appetizers - the lobster bisque, tuna tartare, and foie gras. I know my dining companion did not love the lobster bisque but I was obsessed with the Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Sashimi & Tartare. It came with buttermilk-scallion pancakes, wasabi aioli, avocado, soy-lime syrup, and caviar and I probably could have happily eaten at least three of these dishes. The combination of flavors was perfection. The pan-seared foie gras was another favorite for me. Between the puff pastry, pineapple relish, cherry-fennel puree, and duck demi-glaze, I wish more restaurants served something like this. I would have liked to try the wagyu beef carpaccio but I figured it would be best to save a little room to try an entrée. So now, onto our main courses. Yes, I absolutely ordered the Wagyu Strip... It was divine. Brown butter confit potatoes, white asparagus, shallot-mushrooms, and veal demi-glaze. The wagyu melted in my mouth and I truly wanted to like the plate clean. Sometimes I don't know where I put all the food I order and eat but then I get on the scale and realize it's all very much so somewhere on my body. Our experience from start to finish was worthy of five stars. Thank you so much to Geronimo for accommodating our last-minute reservation request and for the exceptional dining experience. I would absolutely recommend Geronimo to anyone planning to visit Santa Fe. I really, really hope to return to the area in the future and will certainly be making a reservation to dine at Geronimo again! read more

This is our second time to eat at Geronimo while visiting Santa Fe, and it will be on our "must eat at" list for all our future visits. It is a neighborhood gem on Canyon Road - very quaint and cozy. If I could have given more than 5 stars I would have! We hade the lobster poblano bisque and the wild mushroom and sherry bisque. Both were rich and yummy. We both had the elk tenderloin which was melt in your mouth delicious! We topped off our meal with the most amazing tiramisu I've ever put in my mouth and a cappuccino. But enough about the amazing food... our waiter Pablo provided impeccable service from start to finish. He was flawless, knowledgeable and just a joy to be around. Don't miss Geronimo when you're in Santa Fe!! read more

The ambiance was classy but not stuffy, the service was impeccable, attentive, but not standing over us. My Lord, the food was outstanding. Of the 4 female diners, we ordered elk steak, 2 orders of rack of lambs and the vegan tasting menu as the main course. Meats were tender and very tasty, vegan menu was innovative, tasty. Our appetizers were beet salad, and sashimi, dessert was the special apple mouse and lemon crepe. Drinks and coffee.

Our last meal in Santa Fe was Geronimo and we were not disappointed! Loved the art work visible from our table which was tucked into a corner but very roomy for our party of 4. We were immediately greeted by our server and provided water and a tasting of a sparkling wine. Our appetizers were the Mushroom Bisque, the Beet Salad, the evenings special of a Tomato Soup served with lobster and the Asian Pear Salad on the prix fixe menu. We also received a bread basket with chili cheddar rolls, lavash crackers & sour dough. In between our appetizers and the mains a tasting of the mushroom bisque was provided to two members of the table and a third received a tasting of the Carpaccio. One member of our party opted for the vegetarian prix fixe with wine pairings, another had the Rack of Lamb, the Pork Shank and the Sea Bass rounded out or table. Everything was very delicious and delivered exactly as ordered. Desserts were also beautiful platings that were delicious! We ordered The Lemon Crepe, Banana Cream Pie, Cardamom Crème Brûlée & Tiramisu. Along with coffee and a few ports. The wait staff was friendly, quick to refill water and kept the courses coming at a good pace. So glad we had the chance to experience Geronimo. Enjoy!! read more
