Located in the Hilton Buffalo Thunder Santa Fe, this restaurant is a great find. The service, food and attention to detail were all approached with such care and it was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed it so much so, that we are returning to the property for our second Thanksgiving in a row. read more

The barkeeper requested ID before serving a beer. I am in my 70s and so is my wife. I thought this was a free country but apparently tribal law rules. We left the bar thirsty and visited the restaurant for dinner. ID was required before we could order wine with dinner so we left never to return. I do not have to prove I'm over 21 - if you can't tell, you need to register as blind. read more

For being located inside a casino you would think the food would be mediocre or average, but not this place. Excellent service and the food was great! Thank you! read more

Hotel is beautiful - art is outstanding - restaurant well appointed & well lit - bar just outside is excellent & very well thought out

Attended concerts two weeks in a row at Buffalo Thunder and ate at this restaurant both times before the show. Great food, from steak to scallops to salmon, all prepared wonderfully! Delicious tempura avocado too! The service is excellent as well! Was surprised to see not so great ratings here as we found it delightful! read more

We ate a light dinner at the bar area outside. Guy was a great server. Friendly and knowledgeable. The posole is rich and flavorful...definitely a meal on its own. After reading a few negative reviews we were pleasantly surprised by this and our other dining experiences at the resort. read more

The signature tasting flight was phenomenal! Cooked exactly to my request and at a good price!

I really enjoyed my filet and mashed potatoes. I wish I would have ordered medium-rare, as it was a bit too cooked for my taste. Very quick and friendly service. read more

All around great menu, from the bar food which could be a meal within itself to the full restaurant menu with some great choices of steaks and seafood. The bartender, Guy, makes a killer fresh berry mojito! read more

We had breakfast there twice in a week; once going to Los Alamos and once going to Taos. Both times the service was slow from poor staffing. One time we waited for several minutes at the podium while no one came to greet or seat us. Turns out the hostess was clearing and setting tables. The wait staff was polite and prompt. However the chef seemed to lack an "off reservation" understanding of minor details. After all, who makes eggs Benedict with a tasteless bread pudding rather than an English muffin? The Hilton needs to do a little more work here IMHO. The food was OK- nothing special; good portions, moderately tasty, but considerably less expensive than hotels in the Santa Fe area. An OK stop for a quick breakfast when driving by, but I pity those staying in the hotel as there are few other options within a reasonable drive. read more

I don't feel like there is a great selection of restaurants in the area so this by far the place to hit up. Great quality food....no complaints read more

Ok, the bar is fine. The Food was lacking, a dried out broken up mushroom tamale. Not alot of mushrooms that I could find. The burger I asked for it Medium, well, it was well done and dry. The gigantic potatoes they called fries, well.they were burned. Quite black skins, what kind of chef would let that out of his or her kitchen. Mmmmmm read more

First of all it was restaurant week and they reported that they were "out of product " and couldn't honor restaurant week requests. So we decided to stay and the meal that followed was horrible. They brought out my Caesar sad with kale when I requested it made without it. Then the steak I ordered medium was well done. After waiting forever I. Finally said forget it and the manager came by to say he wasn't going to charge me for it! Really??? Like he was doing me a favor for not charging me for a meal I sent back and did t request it remade as it took too long. The manager was condescending and rude! read more

I remember Red Sage coming to Washington, DC during the Clinton years. It was a big deal then. So when my colleague and I found ourselves in Santa Fe at the Buffalo Thunder resort which ist 15 miles from downtown, it seemed like a good bet to try Red Sage. Red Sage is owned by the same folks famous for the Coyote Cafe. It was good grub, emphasis on seasonal. The chef came to each table and asked how we liked our food. It was a nice authentic gesture and we learned that he had recently returned from west Africa to take this gig. If you find yourself thinking that you're SOL because you landed at a casino/hotel for a meeting and you don't have a car to go downtown, fear not... Red Sage doesn't disappoint. Especially if you have a good expense account. read more

Great food every time I've eaten here. Had the Bison tenderloin and Lobster tail(paid $38 for a 6oz tail?) Food was good and service matched. Great wine and liquor selection. read more

My husband and I live close by-Santa Fe. We went to the restaurant for Thanksgiving yesterday as I don't care for buffets. I ordered my meat salt free. PRO It is in a lovely location and the restaurant is not near the casino. It is lovely and we were able to sit next to the windows which is nice because we watched the sun set on the adobe buildings. Our waiter Jose was efficient, knowledgeable and overall excellent. He allowed us to taste their champagne and opened a fresh bottle which tasted great. When the kitchen salted my food he returned it immediately and my plate was replaced in a short period of time. The appetizer 'pan seared scallops ' were perfectly cooked and delicious. The haricots vert were cooked perfectly The butternut bisque was okay but not warm enough CONS I ordered rack of lamb which had only two pieces which was okay but both plates had mostly fat on the lamb. There was little meat.surprising as it was $39.00. The chef however cooked them perfectly. I really like Brussels sprouts and expected them to be more than plainly boiled and water logged. The mashed potatoes were nothing to rave about and the 'stuffed ' baked potato was not hot,not particularly tasty. My husband ordered the turkey dinner and tells me that it was very salty, average tasting and only warm. Very disappointing! Dessert: Creme brûlée was more like custard as it was not set properly. Disappointing as this dish is not difficult to make and this was not very tasty All in all $150.00 was extremely expensive for these meals. Included 2glasses of excellent champagne. I've been there before and satisfied but kitchen didn't seem able to handle the big Thanksgiving' demands. read more

Checked into the hotel on Sunday and spotted the Red Sage restaurant positioned looking out onto the patio. The ambiance of the inside coupled with the fire-pits and scenery was gorgeous. The wait staff was courteous, helpful, and unobtrusive. I chose the wild mushroom beef tenderloin with the new potatoes. The mushroom and reduction sauce was delicious and the beef tender and juicy. The local Ponderosa red wine added a nice finish to the meal. There wasn't room left for dessert but I saw many yummy looking plates passing by to other tables. read more

I have given this place three chances now...I'll never come back. I read that Red Sage recently revamped their menu and was making a real effort to improve the quality of food and service, so I thought I would give them one more try. With an early dinner reservation of 5:30, we were told that we would be seated outside. I explained to the hostess that I would prefer to eat inside, and was told that wasn't possible (mind you, only a handful of tables had diners). The hostess then directed me to dine in the bar instead. After a couple of minutes, trying to find seating in the bar, the hostess found us and acquiesced to our request. Again, many tables open...it was very awkward and unwelcoming. We were promptly attended to by our waiter, Rivers, who was very professional throughout the meal. I ordered Chilean Sea Bass...big mistake. The fish was spongy, watery, fishy....I can't believe it made it to the plate. Probably the worst piece of fish I've ever tasted. I sent the fish back and reordered the tenderloin. While I waited for the tenderloin to be prepared, my husband finished his meal and all our plates were cleared...including my sides that I was saving to eat with my entree. I was offered a shrimp cocktail during my wait, but declined since I could smell how fishy our neighbor's cocktail was. I guess the lesson here is DO NOT ORDER SEAFOOD! When my tenderloin finally arrived, it was very delicious. There was no accommodation on the check for the inconvenience. This is an expensive place with sub par food. Do not waste your money! Red Sage just can't get it together. Trust the reviews that show this place is inconsistent. I guess it fits with the casino feel...you might hit the rare occasion that you'll win, but chances are you will leave disappointed. read more

Guy and Sandra are awesome. The bar is pretty low key. Quiet, great drinks and food. My favorite bar in Santa Fe.

Went here for a late dinner at the bar. Showed up at 10:50 The staff informed us the kitchen closes at 10:30 even though the hours say 3:00pm - 12:00am. Disappointed. read more

What a treat to find a great steak in this place. Perfect date night with my bride by the window. All is well until the staff chose to seat a couple outside with a dog. Seriously -a dog- what a huge disappointment as we are now looking at a dog defecating on the outside dining area as we dine at an supposed upscale environment. Poor choice by staff and a huge disappointment for us. Boycott this establishment and don't allow pets to be in the company of other dining guest. By the way - what protocol is in place by this hotel to verify vaccinations of accompanied pets? Health risk not to mention just plain disrespectful. We will never spend another dollar at this facility. read more

Red Sage - New American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I love this place. You would never think you are in New Mexico eating at a place this posh. Great drinks, great ambiance, and great food. I had the chicken breast which was half a cornish hen and it was very good. The mashed potatoes were yummy. They had other stuff on the menu which looked very good too. Would love to go again and try other menu items. Next time I head up that way it will be must stop. read more

Ive been to buffalo thunder many times but always to busy to try this place . We went in half hour before closing seated with a smile.Started with crab cakes,the best I've had in this land locked country. Decide to try a main dish that sounded like it had too much going on for me,I was wrong ,it was the best dish I've ever had...duck breast with sweet sour cherrys ,roasted peppers,maple glaze and creamy grits plus a few more ingredients. I'm still in disbelief at how good this was..Wife a had the game hen that was at the top.Dessert ....hell yea! Cocktails were stong. I woud give my dish 10 stars.Service was as top notch as the food. read more

This is a first-class place for a casino bar. Honestly. This place is owned by the same people that own Coyote Cafe.The bar here - with it's gorgeous views of the hills, modern fireplace, and modern fixtures is a gem. The bar menu is nice - I loved the fish and chips - especially the caper-filled tarter sauce. Great find. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner at Red Sage. This atmosphere truly matches the vibe of the Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino. After a long days shoot cast & crew had dinner here. We were probably the biggest group in the restaurant but the waiters were very attentive and courteous. Food was made perfect. The steak and wine was on hit. Good times! If you are staying at the hotel, or even if you're not-this is a great spot for an upscale dining experience. Red Sage is definitely a 5-star restaurant and gets the 5 star yelp approved. read more

Conference central. My food was a culinary delight. I LOVE asparagus and the grilled fennel bulb was an unexpected delight. Kudos to the chefs Tom & Eric who gave me a wonderfully platted meal I won't soon forget. Ask for Vinnie when planning ur companies next conference. He'll take care of u. read more

Poor poor food for the price. My daughter had to send her entree back twice because it was cold. Our prime rib was served without Au jus and we had to ask for horseradish sauce. The meat was dry. The manager was not apologetic at all. Avoid this restaurant as they will take your money! Costly with poor quality! read more

1st of all we weren't approached by a server for about the 1st 10 minutes. We ordered a medium rare steak and sea bass for dinner and this took 40 min! Once we got our food the steak was very bland and the sauce they put on top helped it a bit and the sea bass was more on the way too fishy side. As we asked for the check that took about 5 seconds. Overall not a great experience especially for the price. read more

Superb dining experience! Everything was great from the staff who is great and personable, to the Master Chef who came to talk to us. The tenderloin was perfect as well as the lobster, the sides amazing with the best calibacitas I've ever had. The wine is served perfectly and the milk was ice cold! Great menu featuring local sourced ingredients. Awesome. read more

My friend and I recently stayed a night at the resort and were excited to grab a seat on Red Sage's beautiful patio for some appetizers and wine. The server greeted us right away and another server immediately replaced my knife when I dropped it on the floor--and I thought no one noticed my clumsiness! They provide a complimentary sampling of bread with two house-made butters, which were creamy and delectable. We each selected a glass of wine off their excellent wine menu and ordered the Green Chili Buffalo Flatbread to split. Yes, it was as DELICIOUS as it sounds. I'm not usually a fan of buffalo but the meat was tender and rich. We were both very pleased with our experience and we cannot wait until our next trip to try their dinner. The people next to us shared the Lobster Crab Cake which looked incredible and I most definitely trying the Cold Smoked Scallops on my next visit! read more

I'm not typically a fan of the hour and a half of my life fancy dinner restaurant but this one was worth the extra time. A big time wine list if your into that. They have a perfectly acceptable albeit limited beer selection. My brew was the perfect drinking temperature and pour. I ordered the prawn sized shrimp cocktail. Excellent! Then I had the double bone in pork chop for dinner. This pork chop was unbelievable! Huge meat club with an incredible amount of flavor. My wife ordered the 6 Oz Filet which she thoroughly enjoyed. The service was well paced and perfectly timed. Just the right amount. This one is on my return to list for sure. BTW- don't miss out on the roasted Brussels sprouts as a side. read more

My family and I stayed at the Buffalo Thunder Resort for our fall break this year. Decided to wait to eat at the Red Sage until our last night so we could celebrate our trip with a "fancy" dinner before we left the next day. And the Red Sage did not disappoint. Has the feel of an upscale restaurant and a family-friendly restaurant all wrapped up into one. Appreciated the fact they had a real kids menu that offered more than just the standard chicken strips and mac & cheese. Service was great and I highly recommend the filet mignon, it was as good as you will have anywhere. Next time we stay at the Buffalo Thunder we will definitely be paying the Red Sage a visit again. read more

Had a great experience at Red Sage. I read some bad reviews and decided to take a chance. It was fantastic. Husband had filet which he said was excellent, I had Chilean Sea Bass which was awesome as was the creamed spinach and sherry mushrooms. Great service, excellent wine list. 5 stars! read more

This place has no idea about customer service. Don't come here with your children unless they want the adult steaks, you can take your kids to the bar next door and get anything off the menu but they can't bring a burger that's cooked in the same kitchen then walked through the dinning room to anywhere but the bar. Then you get to your table to share one menu. This place has me scared to order food, if the kitchen is anything like the front of the house, this may lead to food poisoning. I'll let you know. Nope, kitchen is just as bad as the front of the house. This place wasn't even busy, we waited an hour plus for calamari, burgers, salmon and chicken. Oh wait, they never brought the calamari, it was on the bill though. So all the food came out on plates you couldn't even touch( because they've been under the heat lamp so long) the burger buns were rock hard, the chicken dried to crap, and the pasta almost re dried. Skip this place for food, seems the drinks may be where it's at, my wife did like her margarita. The bar staff was friendly, the people on the restaurant should all be replaced. From the crummy hostess( that was anything but friendly, to the person that cooked the crappy food and left it set there forever, to the person that brought it out knowing it was bad and had been setting for a very long time, to the management that clearly has no clue how to manage a restaurant. Never again. Unless I'm just going to have a drink. read more

With its uppity atmosphere, The Red Sage *seems* high end, but it's so-so at best. Both of our steaks were over cooked. We're not the type to send food back - and server was MIA for a while anyway so we ate it. But we DID want the kitchen informed so when we told the server we just got a timid, "oh sorry" reply. I doubt she ever told the chef about our steaks. The appropriate response would be to offer a discount or free dessert or something... anything! Even Chili's in Espanola can get a steak temp right. As for the drinks, the signature margarita comes in a big glass that holds a lot of liquid volume which is what a real, quality margarita SHOULD NOT be. It was like downing a bunch of lemonade with a little bit of tequila. The Manhattan fell short too. Who wants a stingy 1-shot cocktail for $14? We're locals who've been to this place a few times. I'd suggest you just stick to beer or wine here. Skip the cocktails. Food is hit or miss. I wouldn't come down so hard on this place if it didn't try so hard to be posh Santa Fe, but then NOT pull it off. Either become a mid-level restaurant/bar with lower prices (and expectations!), or if you want to be high end uppity Santa Fe, then get it right. read more

Waiter was rude and unfriendly. We expected a better experience. Appetizers were ok. Nothing special. 21oz ribeye Steak we ordered was for my wife and me. They charged us 6$ to split which is fine but when the steak was brought to us it was not hot. Lukewarm at best. I don't mind spending the money but will not eat here again. read more

One of the best steaks I've had in years! Service started a bit slow but was good once we ordered. Would definitely eat here again!

What a beautiful restaurant. We dined at sunset. So quiet. The service was attentive and discreet.

I can't say enough good things about my experience . My husband and I went for our anniversary and were blown away . Food was delicious, staff amazing, manager hands on and funny, the chef was so kind came by and even brought us special items for our anniversary , and the dinner was romantic and special. Absolutely no complaints and we are picky ! I highly suggest read more

My wife, granddaughter and I had the misfortune of dining there last night. The restaurant is very nice with its decor. The menu is varied, and the food was actually very good. The service was HORRIBLE from the waiter to the hostess! It was an hour wait to get our entree. When we asked why the wait, they blamed it on a big beer tasting! So your I'll prepared for them your staff turned their problem into ours. Our tab was almost $100.00 for a very bad experience. The waiter never once came back to our table to see if the meals were okay, or if we needed anything. I finally had to ask another wait staff for my bill, of which we left $0 for a tip. Very good food, but horrible wait staff. We will never return to this totally ill run restaurant. read more
