We had an outstanding dinner at Market Steer Steakhouse while vacationing in New Mexico. From start…read moreto finish, both the food and service were exceptional--an easy 5-star experience.
The restaurant itself is beautiful. We loved the interior décor, the comfortable seating, and the warm, romantic atmosphere. There was plenty of seating, and the full bar offered an impressive selection of cocktails, wine, and spirits, making it a great place to enjoy a drink before or during dinner.
We started with the Seasonal Shrub, a refreshing watermelon-cucumber soda, and a perfectly balanced Hugo Spritz with elderflower, ginger, lemon, mint, and tonic. The Tuna Tartare was incredibly fresh, the Street Corn Velouté was rich and creative with red chile popcorn and lime crema, and the Seared Crab Cake was packed with crab and cooked beautifully.
For our entrées, the Prime Filet Mignon and Cowboy Ribeye were both cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with whipped potatoes, peppercorn demi, and sautéed asparagus. The Roasted Chicken was just as impressive--juicy and flavorful with confit potatoes, bacon, mushrooms, and a rich chicken jus.
We finished with two fantastic desserts. The Bourbon Pecan Bread Pudding with salted caramel was warm, decadent, and unforgettable, while the Berries n' Cream with pistachio crumble was light, fresh, and the perfect ending to the meal.
Market Steer Steakhouse exceeded our expectations in every way. The quality of the food, attention to detail, warm hospitality, beautiful ambiance, and impeccable service made this one of the best dining experiences of our trip. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting New Mexico.
