Vermicelli plate
Theresa M.

The food and the staff are all great! Always a friendly hello when we enter. The pork fried rice was especially smoky today. Loved it! The thin vermicelli plate with pork and eggroll was delicious also. Tasted some starters, a couple of grilled pork spring rolls. With delicious dipping sauce.

Rare steak, brisket pho and shrimp with vegetables and rice.
Ashley A.

The pho was ok, not very flavorful considering all the ingredients I added. The broth was so bland. But It was good enough for this cold day. Only three pieces of fatty meat. Asked for chili oil and I was given dry chili flakes... disappointing. My mother loved her shrimp and veggies! The vegetable egg rolls were so burnt that the insides were like dust when you bit down. Not impressed. Ambience was clean. Server was attentive and friendly that's why I'm giving three stars. Food needs some serious work, very mediocre.

Grilled pork sandwich.
Roger P.

First off, I didn't know there were any pho places in Santa Fe. A friend brought me just after my birthday. I forgot to take any pictures of the food. Had the rare steak and meatball pho which was quite good. We had good appetizers, chicken pot stickers and edamame. Not the best pho I've ever had, but my favorite place in White Rock is closed. They forgot to bring us our garnish (bean sprouts, jalapenos, etc) until we asked for the forgotten spoons as well. I'd give em another try for sure.

Pork and egg roll vermicelli noodle bowl

FOOD - Pork and Egg Roll Vermicelli Bowl: vermicelli noodles with pork, egg rolls, lettuce, pickled carrots, and green onions. No bean sprouts for me. The pork itself was okay. The egg rolls were really good though. 3.5/5 SERVICE: Your typical service from Vietnamese restaurants. 3.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back to try other items.

What a delightful lunch spot that has an amazing menu and super friendly service…read more For some reason seeing the name I thought it was gonna be a Fish and Chips kinda place LOL, but is more like a cafe with amazing coffees, salads, bowls, etc. The food here was so healthy, fresh, and yummy. My iced latte was also divine. They had some really good looking desserts too but I didn't leave room for those. This was definitely one of my favorite lunch places in Santa Fe. Sooo good!!

This is a great place to stop for lunch, a snack, or an iced coffee or matcha latte on a hot day…read more It was also recommended to us by a local working at another shop in town. There is plenty of seating in the room next door, and it appears they may be expanding that room. In the main room, you walk up to the counter and order, then your food is brought out to you. We got sandwiches and bowls and the food was great. Fresh and healthy. I also got some kind of maple cream cold brew; I did have to ask for more maple flavor because I wanted my drink a bit sweeter, and the barista graciously added it without charging extra. They seemed to have interesting pastries and bagels, and the shop is also a market with fancy snacks and other provisions. I was tempted to take home a unique chocolate bar or jam, or something savory like a wacky bag of popcorn, but we were maxed out on snacks at our Airbnb, so I refrained. They had a wide selection of this kind of stuff. All in all, it was the perfect spot to grab lunch in the late afternoon while cruising around the Plaza on a hot day. The service was friendly, and so were the other customers!

I went again today for a late lunch and enjoyed some aspects of the meal. For one, it was just me and two other tables who closed out right when I was walking in. I was quickly sat, and proceeded to have pretty slow service to start. Once a server finally came back around 5 minutes later, he brought some delicious spicy/sweet peanuts to start. Returned less than a minute later to take my order, then proceeded to have great service afterward.. let me start with the spicy baby cucumbers: pretty tasty and a large serving, however I didn't think they were that spicy. The chile oil used is mostly oily with some not so spicy Chiles used (that could just be my heat tolerance) but nonetheless, they were delicious. The hot tea was fresh and he brought it out with water, which I appreciated.. I was however slightly disappointed in the Dan Dan Noodles, I didn't take a picture just because it honestly was served not too appetizing or picture perfect like most of the previous reviews. Everything was mixed together, and the meat was all in the bottom under all of the noodles. The flavor was pretty good, but I didn't get the normal Szechuan flavor or spiciness that I've had in the past at other places. I do love the fresh noodles, but the overall dish was a little underwhelming. I would have liked it to be a little more presentable, along with more of a noteworthy flavor other than meaty broth with some chile oil (again more on the oily side not so much spice). Overall, the experience was decent and good service. I will come back to try something else and maybe it just wasn't a dish for me.

Geronimo doesn't really need another five-star review, but our experience tonight was so lovely…read morethat I am writing this. The goodness began with Naomi, who helped me fix an error in my reservation and get a table at a good time tonight. The goodness continued with our server Mitzi, who should be teaching graduate classes in hospitality in every big city. She was friendly without being overbearing, informative without being pedantic, subtle and gracious. Now, the food! My wife chose the vegetarian tasting menu and I had some of each dish: so very flavorful (a green salad with pears, a life-changing mushroom bisque [and I don't like mushrooms!], a chickpea croquette with pickled artichoke hearts and ratatouille, and a substitution of the lemon crepe for three yummy scoops of sorbet and gelato. I chose the scallops, perfectly cooked and moist, over couscous, and a dish of tasty sauteed baby spinach. A wonderful experience, and not overpriced, and everyone treated us sweetly. The musical soundtrack was swinging, and at a compassionate volume. Our first trip to Santa Fe, and we found a gem. Hooray! And thank you, Mitzi!

This was our last dinner out in Santa Fe and was the best dining and culinary experience here…read more Everyone told us this is the best fine dining in the entire state and they were correct. The interior is classy and very comfortable. We were seated at a nice comfy corner booth. The soft music in the background was soothing and just noticeable enough without being a distraction. We were served complimentary flutes of local sparking wine and a fresh baked bread basket and butter to start. We then ordered cocktails and three starters. First was a split plate of the endive smoked duck salad with a warm bacon vinegarette. Wow...this was nice and refreshing. This was followed by the crab dumplings with fresh corn and peas and lobster sauce. Delicious! The final small plate was seared foie gras on top of banana bread toast. This was very good. I miss foie gras. Unfortunately, it's banned in California. They had a 2023 Sea Smoke "Ten"Pi ot Noir on the wine list. This is one of the best Pinot Noirs produced in California and not easy to find. This was a no doubter and we ordered a bottle to pair with our entrees. My wife ordered their signature elk tenderloin for redemption because the restaurant the night before failed at executing this. I ordered the tomahawk pork chop. This was cooked to perfection with a nice thin crust on the outside and a perfect very light pink juicy center. We ordered a side of brocolini that was pan roasted with shallots and butter. Everything was very good and Michelin grade in our opinion. Lastly we ended the evening and split the tiramasu type of desert. My wife had the expresso martini and I had an 18 year old Glen Morangie scotch neat. The service was excellent and worth the splurge. This is a must when visiting Santa Fe.

Apothecary Dining in Santa Fe is a hidden gem! The second you walk in, the atmosphere is relaxing,…read moreand your body immediately feels the warmth, love, and care this restaurant exudes from the environment, food, staff, and music. Kadimah, the owner, is a food reader and chef--she can look at you and know what your body needs--fruit, greens, warm, hot, cold, etc. Apothecary Dining might be gluten-free; however, they do not skimp out on taste. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! My Pura Vida Breakfast Tacos (blue corn tortillas, calabacitas, anasazi beans, eggs, avocado, pico de gallo, red, green or Christmas chile with cheese) that Kadimah suggested were the best breakfast tacos I have had! My partner enjoyed Apothecary American Breakfast (a blue corn pancake with maple syrup, 2 eggs, & a side of mild orange habanero sauce and turkey bacon). We also shared a bowl of fruit, Organic French Press coffee, and a Golden Milk latte (ayurvedic & anti-inflammatory warming drink with turmeric, vanilla, jujubes, ghee, almond oil & honey). Because Apothecary believes in food that matters to the mind, body and soul, know that each dish will be crafted with lots of care and love--so expect a longer wait (this is not a rush experience) and meals will come out at different times, so order an appetizer or something to share while waiting for your main courses. Apothecary Dining: * ALWAYS GLUTEN FREE! * FREE-RANGE, NO ANTIBIOTIC PROTEIN * SUSTAINABLY CAUGHT SEAFOOD * ORGANIC & REGIONALLY SOURCED AS POSSIBLE PRODUCE * A2 MILK FOR EASY DIGESTION & HIGH PROTIEN * DAIRY-FREE, VEGAN, & VEGETARIAN OPTIONS * ONLY AVOCADO OIL, COCONUT OIL, OLVE OIL, PALM OIL, GHEE, OR ORGANIC GRASS FED BUTTER * MINERAL RICH SEA SALT * ALLERGY ACCOMMODATING FOR YOU Definitely recommend dining at this establishment. Although it's slightly tucked away between other businesses--look up; there's a hanging sign.

Both the food and the service here tend to be excellent. One of our favorite spots in town!read more
