Pros- Great atmosphere with the fire and crowd. Really good vibes from the staff. Cons- Food is awful. AWFUL. I ordered a wedge salad with steak. How can you mess up a wedge salad?!?! They did. The steak was more like a chewy gyro meat (but I like gyro meat. this was disgusting). The salad was underdressed (yes, I could have asked for more ranch) and the bacon was not edible... and I had to put force into every bite because it was also so chewy. It was so strange! The tomatoes were good. My huband got the filet .. he said it as cooked well. but the compliments ended there. My girls both got chicken fingers. Disgusting. Even the fries were gross. This was our first night in TVS. I was scared out of my mind this was how the food was everywhere. Nope. Just The Blake. And it's the talk of the town. Stay away until they figure it out. Dont waste your money. read more

The place is nestled right in the middle of ski valley Taos! It's right by the main area. It's beautiful inside with a wood burning fire, comfortable seating to get out from the cold and the service was spot on. They were very attentive and kind. While I can appreciate the craft that went into the cook, I was a bit disappointed in the execution. What we ordered: Eggs Benedict: it was absolutely beautiful when it came out, but upon breaking open the poached egg, it was about 10-15 seconds under done. I had runny whites, which shouldn't happen. Also, the hollandaise sauce did not have that lemon flavor (you need a bit more punch). Finally, the sauce to me was broken as I could see and taste the eggs curdled. While I loved the fresh spinach and tomatoes as it gave it a good acidic taste, I was just a bit disappointed in the execution. The potatoes were good. They were fried to perfection but it needed a bit more zest or seasoning. Breakfast Buffet: typical buffet of sausage, eggs, bacon, pastries etc. nothing exciting or anything to be negative about. The one good thing to note is that there was a pastry that had some sort of apricot or peach jam in the middle which was lovely! Out of the places we ate in the Ski Valley, I would come back here to eat lunch or dinner. read more

We loved going to 192 and eating the brick oven pizza. We were there a few days ago and they no longer have the delicious brick oven pizza. So disappointed with the new chef who is not from Taos. Don't waste your oven. Make pizza!! The only reason this is not a 1 star review is because the staff we encountered were awesome. We appreciate your suggestions. We love 192 but we may not return unless we can have brick oven pizza. read more

I was a little worried that there wouldn't be many dining choices at TSV, and am generally skeptical about hotel restaurants, so I was pleasantly surprised with 192. General decor of the restaurant is a little sterile except by the fireplace, which is where we sat. Service was friendly and relaxed. Kip, our server, was genuine and played along with my partner's random jokes. The food was also better than I expected. The tuna tartare was well presented, but in retrospect, I would have liked it with a little more soy sauce and salt. The brick oven chicken was beautiful and moist with a just sweet enough glaze. The wilted kale could have been a touch more wilted, but we liked the flavors and the added beef was cooked to temperature. The skillet cookie was delicious. Cocktails were also very well made. All in all, a great time! read more

The food, service, and ambiance were good. I got the pork chop and it was decent. It was cooked perfectly and the sauce was made of a green chile/apple sauce mix. It was interesting but something I personally wouldn't order again...especially considering the price. The service was very good. Always being checked up on. And the vibe of the restaurant was relaxed. I'll probably come here again but will definitely try something other than the pork chop. read more

192 At The Blake - Pork chop - Wine Bars Near Me - Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico

What's going on with this place. 3 years ago I would give it a 5 star review. They had a great burger, tartare, big salads with proteins. Now they sell a 28 dollar buffalo Lamborghini burger that was a crunchy 4 oz patty on stale flat bread. The menu is now tiny and the portions are insulting. They have zero appealing appetizers. They have zero appealing salads. The list of entrees is tiny and the food SUCKS Just close this restaurant it's become an embarrassment read more

We were staying at the Blake's and this place was recommended by one of the employees. He mentioned the restaurant has been doing really good lately, which gave me optimism considering the general reviews on yelp. I later found out they have had a new chef. I was very pleased with my meal! The quality and taste are definitely top tier. Our server was super nice and tentative cheerful and smiley. We sat at a table near the fireplace which gave a very cozy feel. I love that the kitchen is open so you can actually see the shops at work. I ordered the breaded salmon and my fiance ordered the lamb pasta. read more

Great atmosphere, attentive and friendly service and the food was awesome! Great dinner with our little family of 4!

We miss the old menu!! We miss the old menu!! Can't really miss something you never experienced but the photo we saw of it looked good. Ate here for convenience. Had a pretty good time. 5 stars read more

Excellent atmosphere. The German dumpling main entree was very good. Something we stepped out of the box and tried. So glad we did! The drinks at the bar were fantastic, too. If I were to give this anything less than a four it would be from the Caesar salad. It was just OK. All in all, great atmosphere, great service, great food! read more

This is a good place to Get away from the base area crowds if you want to grab a quick lunch. The food is no more expensive than anywhere else on the mountain and has some unique options. The tuna tartare is a good small bite if you're not looking for a huge amount of food. You can't go wrong with the burger and fries either. read more

Drinks at the bar were well done - bar tender was very interesting! Breakfast was delicious & service was great. read more

192 at The Blake is one of the "nicest" restos in Taos Ski Valley. It doesn't offer the best food in this small town - they do feature the priciest - but it's very convenient, cozy, and has a good "scene." I think we dropped in at least four times during out stay at The Blake Hotel. We had everything from their minestrone soup, caesar salad... food orders stopped there because nothing really wowed us, and the prices didn't fit the flavor. (Though, pizzas seem to be their bread and buttah... and room service for Blake Hotel patrons). They do have the best wine offerings in the area. We tasted just about everything on tap and by the glass, along with beers (shout out to Fat TIre) and endless espresso martinis. Note: They don't really have anything to make a michelada. :( But... another shout out to the staff. The front and back of the house work really hard to cater to a diverse crowd of families and rude bougie folk. Keep up the hard work, Blake 192 staff! read more

Great food and service both times we went during our week at Taos. We had caesar and baby gem salads that they split into two plates for us. Sunshine daydream pizza is deliciously unique tasting pizza. Beef tenderloin was perfectly prepared. Lumache was tasty but unfortunately not hot enough. Maybe the burrata cooled it down. The first time we were seated by the fireplace which was great but the second time we were seated in the middle of the section of families with small children. It was louder and difficult to talk. read more

Awesome location, ambience. I get charging 50 bucks for a steak at a ski resort, but honestly it tasted like they threw some wal mart seasoning on it and lazily griddled it. read more

We were in the area for a vacation for a week and we found this restaurant on one of our last days in the area. When we reserved it we were not familiar with the area. This restaurant is located inside of the resort the Blake. It feels very fancy. Had I known that I would have dressed up but I did not do enough research before we went. I was looking for a good meal nearby that was open. When you drive up you see an area where you can valet your car. We had parked down below and walked over the bridge and walk up to the resort. Having never been here we walked in and looked around and thank goodness there was a man at the desk to tell us to ride the elevator up to the restaurant. Upon arriving we let them know we had a reservation and we were sat in the middle of the dining room near a window. The view is awesome anywhere in the room. We ordered a hummingbird and a gold rush. The gold rush was amazing. The hummingbird was terrible. It tasted like soda water and nothing else. The manager brought me a pink drink that was amazingly better! We ordered filet mignon ($48) that came with wilted spinach and mashed potatoes and the rainbow trout which they were out of. So I opted for the grilled chicken with wilted spinach and sweet potatoes with cooked garlic on the side. It was amazingly good. We took the dessert of the day home which was chocolate cake. Service was great. Our waiter was Aaron and the female manager was amazing and accomodating. This was our best meal by far on our vacation. Getting out was tricky. Our elevator took us to a floor with locked hallway doors but we made it out. I would 100% go again. read more

Did Apres Ski and then the next day had breakfast so this covers both. The bar area was great for an after dinner, drink and sharing a pizza. Return the next morning for breakfast, and the set up is very nice and cozy. The coffee you can see through so I would suggest doubling the grounds. It was really awful. Also, they said they switched to a new hash brown recipe recently and they were smaller than a pinky finger nail so impossible to eat with a fork. read more

Food was not very good and for what it was overpriced. Also they ran out of side dishes and cabbage was the only item which was not done well. read more

Excellent service from hostess to server. Unfortunately the food was disappointing. I had the filet that was perfectly prepared, but only came with two broccoli and about 4 oz of mashed potatoes. I prefer a filet to be a meal, not a small plate for over $50. My +1 had the chicken parmigiana, it was over salted and very thick, over cooked, difficult to cut. We had the meatballs as a starter, which was the best food item we ordered. Wine list contains a small selection and is not of caliber I expected. I will say the ambiance is quite nice in this restaurant, particularly if you are near the fireplace. If staying or arriving from outside Taos Ski Valley, the restaurant entrance is difficult to find and parking is quite a walk, no valet. In my view, the restaurant survives off the convenience of nearby lodging and not recommended to outsiders. read more

I don't know what happened but they took every appealing item off the menu. I can't think of a single thing I would want to order now.

Food has been upgraded from years past! Good pizzas, I had the special: fried chicken plate, it was phenomenal! (Told Toni to keep it on the menu!) Great atmosphere, Nice fireplace! read more

Location - 10 Service - 7 Ambiance - 10 Food - 1 First off, the Blake is really an amazing place. Beautifully designed and exactly what you'd expect for an upscale mountain lodge / restaurant. The dining room had a very large fireplace with a roaring fire going the whole time and an open layout kitchen. The waiters and waitresses were incredibly nice and professional although not very attentive. It took nearly 15 minutes to get drinks and nearly an hour to get our dinner. It was funny because the gentleman who sat us came over after 45min-1hr and said, "So how did you like everything?" When I told him we hadn't received our food yet, his eyes got really big and he ran to the kitchen. Our food came out immediately after that. Lol. The reason for the two star review is the food. The food was ABSOLUTELY THE WORST. I cannot even emphasize how bad it was. We ordered the kids pasta, kids pizza, the salmon, pepperoni hot honey pizza and a Caesar salad. The pizza was level 10 salty. My face puckered up uncontrollably and I gagged so hard. Was someone playing a joke? It's like someone spilled a container of salt in the sauces or something. My son's cheese pizza was the same. He went to take a bite and spit it out on the plate. He's only 8 years old and loves pizza and his eyes watered after tasting it. He's never not eaten a cheese pizza before. You know it's bad when a boy won't eat his pizza. My daughter thought the pasta was gross and my wife's salmon was subpar. Don't get me started on the Caesar salad. It was incredibly bland with no flavor. It did, however, have two cute anchovies on the top of the salad. Overall, it felt like the chefs either didn't care or were woefully underqualified to be cooking for an establishment like this. We were so disappointed in the food because everything else was so spectacular. At the end of the day, the manager made it right by taking the pizzas off and offering to make us something else but we declined. It really didn't matter. For one beer, one glass of wine, two kids sprites, kids pasta, salmon and a Caesar salad, our bill was $143.00 with tip. That's ridiculous. Welcome to Taos Ski Valley. read more

This was an absolute delight! We came up here for a big event, and everything was last minute. Mona, took our request and made it happen! The food, the treats, the atmosphere everything was absolutely spot on! We had a great time commiserating with each other, as well as having our presentation for the event. They had everything for us! Everything worked, everything was fluid, everything was absolutely spot on! I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I had higher hopes for this place. I ordered the short rib which comes with rosemary potatoes. The meat was cooked perfectly, but bland and MAYBE 4oz of meat. The rosemary potatoes were really just steak fries and did not come with a vegetable. For the price the value was definitely disappointing. The drink was okay; the gelato was nothing to write home about. It was listed on the menu as 4$ and when I was charged 10 I mentioned to my waitress who told management and they removed the cost. The reason this is 3 stars instead of two is for customer service so thank you to management and the wait staff. As someone that has worked in food service at a ski resort I understand prices and difficulty in finding staff in the off season so I would try again and hopefully the quality is better next time. read more

Very disappointing! The place was practically empty and they offered like five entrees, one of which they did not have. My meal was served barely warm, my friend's fried chicken was way overcooked and dry. It's a shame they can't manage a limited menu when they are not busy. read more

We reserved the private room at 192 to celebrate our Dad's life. Big AL Lomax, not the man Al's run was named after, was a part of TSV from the early 1960s. Taos Ski Valley was the best place to honor him, and 192 allowed us to do just that! WOW!!!! What a perfect celebration it was!!! The experience was flawless, from communicating with Lauryn at 192 until the end of our festive celebration. Danni, Carrie, her hardworking crew, and even our babysitter, Itzel, were professional and outstanding!!! Oh, and the food, a variety that met the needs of vegans and celiac members of our party, also tasted AMAZING!!!! Ten Stars from the Lomax progeny!!! read more

The food was good, service was okay. Appetizers were missing before the main course was served. We were a table of 3 couples. Decided to split the check equally between the couples. When the waitress came to take the bill, she said she did not have time to run 3 cards. One couple ended up paying the bill, with friends reimbursing them. Not a customer friendly environment. After dinner I checked with the manager, it is the restaurant's policy only 1 credit card per table. For someone who grew up in a tourist town and worked as a waitress - his response was unacceptable. read more

This cozy spot is more chill and modern than the other restaurants nearby. It will also cost you the most. Pioneer Mule, Butternut Green Chile Soup, Crispy Duck Wings, Tomahawk Boar Rib Chop and Creme Brûlée were all excellent choices. I expected the soup and polenta to have more green chile, and 1 giant chop, instead of 2 small ones, but it was all delicious. Loved the cilantro on the wings. read more

Might be the best Burger I have ever eaten? This restaurant is upstairs in the new Blake Hotel in the center of Taos Ski Valley resort. Being a ski resort the prices are reflected accordingly. This was a $22 burger and worth it. The patty was hand-made and at least 1" thick and cooked to perfection with just a hint of smoky flavor. The lettuce and tomato were on bottom and allowed the juices to drain without wrecking the bun. It may have been the perfect hamburger. read more

We had finished skiing and wanted a small plate type of snack and wine, so we went to 192 at the Blake as we had been at TSV all week and have been bar hopping around to try different places. So we visited before the dinner hour so they have small menu. So we ordered pizza, charcuterie and wine. The pizza was great reminded us of brick oven and it was tasty. The charcuterie board for $26 was something else, nice cheese, but didn't pair with anything on the board. the meat was skimpy and the rest of it was just garbage. No crackers.it had sliced nuts from morning parfait and Pearl onions which made the board stink. Who doesn't have crackers or a fruit spread. And The wine was way over priced. Save your money and visit someplace else for a quick bite to eat. read more

The restaurant is gorgeous as is the hotel. Service generally very good. Food awful. I got the mushroom pizza. It tasted as if nothing from the bread to cheese to topping had any seasonings. Marginally better when I added salt but the crust had no seasoning. They replaced it with the sausage. Did not charge me for two pizzas just one. I gave them the feedback with the first that it was under seasoned. The second was just as bad. No salt. No Parmesan. No pepper. The waiter I had initially never checked back to see if I liked the second pizza. At that point I just wanted to leave and had to ask two servers for my bill. Very disappointing read more

We had the grilled chicken and a hamburger. Neither was cooked optimally. Service was good but not exceptional. The delivery of the entrees to the table took ~45 minutes for a restaurant with 4 other tables occupied. The bread appetizer was good. Disappointed overall. read more

We came for the happy hour that was supposed to be from 3 PM to 4 PM. We are with the ski club and on our itinerary it mentioned a happy hour from 3 PM to 4 PM. When we went to the front desk at the bar they said the bar was open. We asked about the happy hour from 3 to 4 and they repeated the bar was open. As a result I would not recommend this place because they were not very customer friendly and did not answer our questions initially. read more

We loved our dinner here. It was jam packed when we first arrived. We didn't mind waiting. The lovely and friendly hostess sat us at our table. Table was a little bit wobbly but quickly fixed. Our server Kenny greeted us and told us he will be with us shortly. Kenny took our order and had wonderful recommendations. For appetizer, the pork belly poutine was delicious and it went well with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles. For entrees, we devoured the tomahawk with apricot and trout with mushrooms. Heitsz Cabernet Sauvignon went nice and smooth with our dinner. For dessert, grand Marnier and tawny port are highly recommended for liquid dessert. This restaurant have excellent service, fairly priced and comfortable ambiance. read more

Food review only! Given the times and staffing issues I will not complain about the staff. We got the filet and trout both of which were extremely dry. The trout was heavily charred, which can be good, but this time is was just very dry. The filet was served on green beans and mushrooms in place of the spinach and potatoes. The green beans seemed to be canned and the mushrooms, again, dry. When asking for a sauce, the staff seemed offended. They could offer soy sauce or the sauce that came with the steak. (I guess there was a sauce?) Either way, for $50 steak, $40 trout the portions were small, it was overpriced, and the food was dry. 2 stars for the drinks and Friday night bartender, unfortunately, overall I do not recommend. read more
