The food here is hands down THE BEST!.. Every single time. The service is always on point, friendly and knowledgeable, ambiance is perfect .. It is fine dining, but feels casual, cozy and relaxed. This is a great place for a date night read more

Pretty middle of the road. Nothing outstanding, nothing bad. Finally found a place that could pour a decent beer. I do feel this is probably the closest value for the food served we've had so far in town. It's still a little on the pricey side but they execute well enough for it to match. I do feel like the hostess could use some training. Didn't seem like the type of place to need a reservation but apparently the locals love this place. Practically berated for being there without a reservation. We saw two spots open at the bar while she was mid temper tantrum so we sat ourselves. read more

Hostess was not friendly, the restaurant was empty and they wouldn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation. As a paying customer, business is busines and they should be eager to greet and seat any customers that walk in. read more

Went on a Tuesday night as a pair and had no problem getting seated. Tables are spaced nicely so that you don't feel cramped and it's not too loud for conversation. Food was delicious. I had the pan fried chicken with linguini, and while the chicken wasn't seasoned anything special, combined with the pasta it was fantastic. Food was served timely, our waitress was very pleasant, and our overall experience was great. I would absolutely return. read more

We started in the bar where I ordered an Old Fashioned. Even watching the bartender making it, we knew it would be good, and it was the best I've had. At the table, my lady had a Picante Palomita, which had jalapeño in it and made it memorable (Hot!) Dinner began with the Crispy Brussel sprouts, which were delicious and we'll try to replicate at home. She had the Atlantic Char, which was like salmon, and I had the Braised Chicken Ragout, both of which were very flavorful and perfectly spiced. The restaurant is unique and comfortable, the service was attentive and the food and drinks, again, were excellent! The downside is, we don't live here, so it will be a while before we return. If you are in Taos, definitely give them a try! read more

This place was amazing!!! Interesting menu offerings, good happy hour, great cocktails, fantastic service and a very eclectic wine list. You can even order bottles from the attached wine shop. I loved the house margarita, asparagus soup, lamb chops and young cauliflower. Delicious! I only wish I had more room for dessert. read more

Steven is master of his craft! Our good guide Mr Steven educated us, entertained us, and just blew our minds w his gentle and thoughtful suggestions! Trust this person w your appetite and taste buds! He can't miss. The atmosphere was noticeably kept sharp and tight which communicates care and regular attention. Very comfortable and inviting as we roamed by fantastic local art and very nice and attractive staff. Food was amazing and paired by Steven perfectly. Loved the cold tomato n peach soup w arugula salad to start. Wow. Fresh. You could smell the farm air on the arugula. Spicy peppers, w sourdough yum Filet w frites and a killer aioli. Cheese board packet cleanse is the bomb! All well savored w an amazing White Rhône that packed it all wonderfully The dessert is our sweet secret but I'll tell ya it was heavenly. Didn't think to take pics and completely forgot technology while in this ride. Thank you Medley staff! read more

Food was excellent but I'd really like to focus on the stunning desert that we shared. I will assume that there's a trained pastry chef since the desert was on par with a four star Michelin experience. Attention to detail such as the beautiful tempering of the chocolate shell and the plating of the lava cake was on point. As an amateur baker I was seriously impressed. I would like to apologize to the chef that delivered the desert to our table since one of my dinner companions did not express herself correctly and was misinterpreted; she thought she was being funny and didn't understand how her comments were sounding. read more

Lamb chops were amazing, tomato pumpkin soup was delicious, and the Cornish hen was very flavorful and bright. Great wine selection and the fireplace made the vibes cozy. read more

Fantastic dinner in a beautiful location. The service was excellent and our waiter was knowledgeable and efficient. Our entrees were a little slow coming out- not sure why. The food was delicious. I had the fried chicken dish and the chicken was flavorful and crispy. My partner had crab cakes and Mac cheese and said everything was yummy. read more

Medley - View from parking lot - New American Near Me - El Prado, New Mexico

My husband and I loved Medley. The cheese board had a great selection on it. The cocktails were very unique and inventive. I had the lamb on the small plates menu. It was wonderful. My husband had the red snapper and loved it. Everything was well done and thought out. We sat in the bar because we did not have reservations and as busy as it was the service was outstanding. Our server was a bartender and table server. She was excellent. We never lacked for anything. They have a fantastic outdoor area which I cannot wait to sit at during the summer. Excellent place to eat. read more

Medley - Eggplant - New American Near Me - El Prado, New Mexico

My wife, brother and SIL ate here in Sept. 2023. The people running and working at Medley have their act together. The ambience is '50's diner, with a teal and orange theme. Waitstaff and wine/beer service were on point. Restrooms spotless. A manager at the pass, overseeing every ticket and every dish to insure diners got correct and impeccably prepared food. Line cooks were visible in the open kitchen, always a great sign! We tried to find any flaws, but it was a futile exercise. Highest recommendations. read more

First night in Taos. Hubby and I had zero plans for dinner, so I turned to Yelp to find a good place to eat. Medley had excellent reviews, so Medley it is! I absolutely love restraints that serve small plates. We enjoy sharing lots of different foods without committing to an entire meal. Out of all the fantastic sounding menu items, here is what we had: Crispy Brussel sprouts - holy cow! This was an excellent version. They were drizzled with sherry vinegar, and that kick was out of this world good. I had to force myself to stop eating these. Loved loved loved them! Crab cake - very good! Lots of crab in here. It was shredded, though, not lump crab, which we prefer. However, shredded or lump, it was still full of excellent flavor. Would definitely eat again. Chili lime mussels - this was on the "mains" menu, but hubby and I shared it anyway. The mussels were very fresh. And you get A LOT. The broth was super flavorful but pretty spicy. Blackened shrimp tacos - wowza, these had tons of flavor! Ultra blackened, but with the creamy slaw on top - a perfect contradiction! Big big big chef's kiss on this one. Fries with parm and truffle - these were shoestring fries (not my fave, not enough potato satisfaction LOL) and very crispy. Excellent parm and truffle flavor, though. Usually you get a drizzle on top, but these were tossed so all the fries had flavor. We really enjoyed Medley. Casual but elevated. Good service. Great menu. We would definitely eat here again if we ever end up in Taos in the future. read more

First time visiting Medley was a wonderful, lovely experience. All of the staff- from the hosts to our server were kind and very professional. To start, my dinner date and I shared the truffle frites, the wedge salad and the green chile mac and cheese(we added bacon for a buck) Every dish was huge and exceptionally yummy. Talk about more than enough food to share. While we waited for our main dish, the porter house pork chop with polenta and chard- we opted for the cumin salt margaritas. Holy heck, the margs are strong! The cumin is off putting and rather strong. I don't think I'd order that drink again. Unfortunately, when our main dish arrived the pork was so chewy and tough. It was rather inedible, I was so disappointed because the flavor was stellar, a punch in the mouth of herby, umami goodness! When our replacement dish arrived, it was PERFECT. Absolutely everything we wanted it to be. Each bite was moist and tender. Medley management needs to know how impressed we are with Charlie, our server. He was accommodating and kind when we had to send our pork dish back. Charlie really made our dinner excellent due to his professionalism. If you want a delicious meal with amazing service go to Medley! read more

Love the food!! The door keeper guy can be weirdly abrasive and negative... worth waiting for as the food was incredibly good, and healthy. We watched more than 3 parties leave as the abrasive host was gatekeeper... wow! Caesar salad yes! Tuna yes! So much deliciousness and super healthy choices. read more

Interesting menu, we had the lamb chops small plates, hanger steak with truffle fries and the Atlantic salmon. All were prepared with imagination and culinary expertise; absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. We had drinks and apps in the bar where the seats were hard (wooden) and the ambience a bit loud (nice local crowd). We had dinner in the dining room; comfortable seats and quiet. Would definitely recommend. read more

Second time at Medley and it didn't disappoint again. The food was amazing and service friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Can't wait to visit again, next time I'm in Taos. The restaurant is clean and love the atmosphere. Parking lot is helpful to have too. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because of the wine store. Buyers beware! If you use a credit card they charge you extra 2.5%. In a world where just about everyone pays by cards, this is ridiculous. The up charge on booze is so high already, this seems greedy to me. If they really want to charge more to cover fees, they should build it into the price. That way when you are shopping and see the price of the wine that you will end up paying for at the end, you are making an informed choice. A more honest way to recover the fees would be to add it into the price and then offer a discount if you pay cash. The only reason I even knew about the charge is because I read the small sign taped to the counter. Had I not noticed, I wouldn't have been told and paid more money. That's a little shady in my opinion. Keep your wine, I can buy it elsewhere, and not be charged extra to run my card. I must have been too exited about my meal to notice the same credit charge at the bottom of the menu I think that supports my complaint. I didn't have a true dining price because I didn't read any fine print. I still feel strongly that prices should reflect the true cost. Or at a minimum when making my reservation, encouraged to bring cash. read more

Medley's is one of our go to places when we are in Taos and have been coming here for several years. We usually stay in Taos for 4 or 5 weeks in September and October and eat dinner here once a week, along with Happy Hours on their back patio with Goldie (Furchild). The service and food is always 5 stars, along with a great atmosphere and being extremely clean. The other night we had a guest in town and we sat in Steven's section. Steven knows the menu inside out and makes great recommendations, including wine pairings. The night's special was braised beef short ribs with goat cheese polenta and it was the best I've ever had. We will be dining here multiple more times on this visit and enjoying HH on the back deck. I want to thank everyone who works here for adding to our enjoyment when we stay in Taos!!!! Peter, Lorraine and Goldie read more

Popular place as there booked for the evening but we were able to sit in the patio. The food was delicious and our waiter was top notch! We are in Taos for a week and plan to go back! read more

Wow. What a meal! Heard about Medley by word of mouth while skiing at Taos and it did not disappoint. I had the Arctic char and it was delicious- every bite! I followed it up with the dark lava cake and that was excellent as well. The restaurant is about 15 minutes from Taos ski area and well worth ride over. Reservations are recommended. The place is very clean, nicely decorated and perfect for a dinner date. There's an ample selection of wines and beers and I found the prices very fair. Totally recommend!! read more

Well prepared food (salmon and lamb chops) in a pleasant setting with good service. We tried a few "fine" dining restaurants in the region, and medely was best by far. Will be going back next time in the area. read more

The food was good! The service was good! The ambiance was lovely! The truffle fries were to die for.

Six of us thought we'd support one of our local businesses and have a gals' Friday night dinner. All of it was decent, until we were told under no circumstances could we use six credit cards to pay our bill and would be limited to two cards...we told her we didn't have cash and would be happy to pay any extra charges. We asked for the manager, who instead of offering solutions, declared the decision final, dared us to leave without paying, and stomped off to punctuate her tantrum. Shocking, absurd and inappropriate. read more

Delightful dinner in their outdoor bungalows. Service was excellent. My favorite place to dine in Taos so far. Dishes ordered: Mac n' Cheese with Hatch Chile Scottish Salmon with Wilted Greens Pasta Papardelle with Fried Chicken Cutlet Brussels Sprouts w/bread crumbs All super tasty! read more

Always welcoming and friendly with excellent cuisine and service, never disappointing.

Stopped on our way home from Skiing and left with full bellies. Our server John was friendly and accommodating. The restaurant was empty while we were there, but the bar business was booming for happy hour. The bread basket was everyone's favorite part of the meal. We tried the steak, the burger, the chicken friend steak and one seafood dish. The chairs were comfy. read more

Our travel companions happened upon Medley and tried to get a table their first night in Taos (a Wednesday), but they were booked. Solid. No option for take out, either. They asked if there were any openings for reservations, and turns out someone had just cancelled for Saturday night - so they snagged the table and I'm so happy they did. This place is for real. We arrived to the cutest ambiance - chairs around heat lamps, cozy corners and individual greenhouses for parties of up to 4. COVID compliant and also nice and intimate. I didn't get to check out the inside, but I'm sure it was just as welcoming. The staff was very conscientious, courteous and professional, truly top notch service. Inside our greenhouse was a portable heater that we could adjust as needed (it got toasty in there!) and a call button if we needed attention outside of the times food/drinks were delivered. As for drinks, among our group we had the manhattan, the raspberry-green chile mule, a dry martini and a glass of the house red. Outside of COVID times, we would have likely done a bit more sharing, but we were being on the safe side, even though 3/4 of us were vaccinated. But all said drinks hit the spot. The food was the real star of the show. Everything sounded so good. I got the super green salad, which was GINORMOUS, and quickly realized I'm glad I stuck with the small plate of NZ lamb chops to accompany it. I also ordered the mac & cheese for the table; it was so rich, and so hot, that I couldn't have eaten it myself. I picked the chiles out but there was still a lot of heat. I am admittedly a wimp but felt had been building some tolerance over the years. Cue ego check. My partner got the clam chowder. I opted not to try it for 2 reasons: the spice and also I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to my clam chowder, though can 100% appreciate the local take. He thought it was amazing. And hot. He also had the NM shepherd's pie, which was also GINORMOUS and also hot. Are you noticing a theme? Our table mates had the chowder, the pumpkin bisque (which I did dip a spoon into - it tasted like fall in your mouth), the shepherd's pie and the scottish salmon - all divine. We were pretty hungry upon arrival and had been eyeing desserts, but after our plates were served we all ended up with to-go bags. Portions are large, and the quality is outstanding. We walked out of there at around $100/couple. For food that good, and drinks all around, I felt it was a bargain, especially when you consider we spent around $50 for beers and pizza at another (also very good) place in town. I cannot wait to go back to Medley the next time we are in Taos, whenever that may be! It'll be the first thing we reserve. read more

Food consistently good, great service and cocktails. What more do you need? A reservation.

This place was pretty good. The mac and cheese was very rich, with a good kick to it due to the green chilis, some of the better creamier mac and cheese I've had. The lamb was small but tasty and was still enough to leave me too full for dessert. The outdoor seating is cute and fun as well as the inside. We had originally made a reservation to sit in the greenhouse but when we got there they told us if it was too hot, they'd move us. We ended up moving immediately. The waiter we had was fairly efficient but not overly friendly. We were sat by a window where there were a good amount of flies but it was not terribly bothersome. read more

I made an online dinner reservation for our 20 year wedding anniversary and was able to make it quickly and easily. They sent send a reminder text the day of and asked for a confirmation. When we arrived our table wasn't quite ready, the hostess asked if we'd like a drink while we wait. We placed an order for the Brambler and the low winter sun. As our drinks were being made, our table was ready, so they were delivered just as we were being seated. We ordered steak frites medium rare, brisket tacos and elote. Everything was 10/10 and would definitely order again. The pomegranate in the low winter sun has soaked up some of the liquor and had a nice surprise to it when it was bitten. I'm not a fan of blackberry but figured I'd go out on a limb and try the brambler. It wasn't bad. After we finished it, I ordered the Whistlepig neat and it came out quicky like everything else. It was a heavy pour and delicious, just wish I recall which one it was, I'd like to pick up a bottle. Guess we'll have to go back, but it won't be 20 years!! read more

Excellent service and incredible food. Coincidentally returning this coming Friday. I've been dining at Medley for a few years now. I can't recall having a bad experience ever. I principally dine in the main dining room. The bar is cool too but not my cup of tea. read more

Ate there with my family for dinner. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. I ordered the burger med rare but it came well done, so very dry and the pulled pork on top was cold. The fries were good. I wouldn't recommend the burger or order it again. read more

We had a lovely dinner at Medley- everywhere in Taos is busy on the weekends and they were no exception, but we had a nice wait by the outdoor fire pit with some of their inventive cocktails. Dinner was exactly what the hungry skiers in our party wanted, and we really enjoyed splitting their perfectly crispy and salty truffle fries, as well as the fried frog legs (yummy!) and the green chile mac and cheese. The chicken fried steak was tender and well cooked but could have used a little more seasoning, and the gravy needed a little flavor boost as well. The burger was excellent and perfectly cooked, and we loved our John Dory entree with asparagus- tender, flavorful, and delicious! We'll definitely be back and will make reservations next time! read more

I have given medley so many chances in the past ten years plus, but they continually maintain their snobby attitude. I hadn't been there in about a year and decided to meet a friend there. He got there first and they were not happy. When my husband and I arrived they were not happy about that either. The one person that was nice to us there is Native. I feel that is worth mentioning because I am not white and neither is the friend I met there. I hate PC culture and I'm not trying to sound like a whiny b*** , but aside from the nice Native man I can't say I was welcomed at Medley. I thought that maybe Medley had improved their service since I hadn't dined in for a while, but sadly I was wrong. I have come to the conclusion that Medley overall is classist and racist. As long as you are wealthy and white you are welcome. They tout themselves as fine dining which is laughable. I just went to Lambert's and guess what they ARE fine dining. They are also incredibly kind and welcoming. So much so that I had to come here and compare the difference. read more
