My evening here on October 29th was delightful. I was visiting from Keller, TX. Arroyo Vino was absolutely comparable to my favorite French Restaurant in Ft Worth, Saint Emilion, in quality, service and ambiance. The location in the foothills was lovely and private. Watching the sunset was exquisite (see my photo). The hostess from Texas and I connected. She made my visit so enjoyable. I started in the wine shop stocked with wonderful wines from around the world that are not usually seen. I purchased 2 quite affordable wines. John, my server, was so professional and friendly. He made recommendations upon request, and I considered them with value for the excellent knowledge he has. There are 3 to 5 courses depending on your level of hunger. Water comes flat or sparkling. Matching wine to what you wish to eat at each course is the best way to order. Again, John gave me asked for suggestions. I ordered the Smash Burger for my main entrepreneur. It was delicious! However, I did remove the peppers as they were spicier than I expected. My mother who is gluten-free was back at the hotel, therefore, I ordered her a Smash Burger without peppers or bun since she had gluten-free bread. She said it was the absolute best burger she has ever eaten! My appetizer of bread and cheese was exquisite! I skipped the next course and ordered my main dish. I also skipped dessert. With my 2 glasses of wine and food, I was fulfilled. It was a joyful outing by myself while my mother rested. Bravo! read more

After my first review I followed up with the manager Hannah and she actually said " well what do you want me to do" Her tone changed when I told her I was African American and did not care about any racial slur her waitress hurled at my husband and I. Very unacceptable! If you are a person of color I would not dine at this restaurant! read more

Inedible apps and main course. We didn't like our drinks and were told that they put saline in every drink. What? We sent both our drinks back and asked for no saline solution. Our new drinks were ok.....just. The part that got me, I think was that the bar tender and our waiter were gossiping about us throughout the rest of our time there. Save your money. read more

Wow this place used to be so delicious I made sure to go at least 2 times on every visit. I have recommended it to so many people. It is horrible now. The focaccia had too much salt and way too much olive oil, the famous and amazing mushrooms we so salty we could not eat them. I had to go to the bar and ask them to remake our drinks because they put salt in an old fashion and made my drink on the rocks instead up as requested for a simple martini.The bartender and waiter were glaring at our table like we were in the wrong. So much delicious food and feet wait staff in Santa Fe this place is a MUST SKIP . Bad drinks bad service bad food! read more

We arrived for our reservation and was quickly seated. By BIL noted that the wine selection was great and the prices reasonable. The dining room was nicely appointed .We ordered focaccia, fried calamari, Cesar and Kale salads, cavatelli, tagliatelle, short rib, pork chops, tagine, burger and desert. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. read more

Way too much attitude for mediocre food and a meh menu. But, it's the management that's the real problem here. Attitude. Ego. Zero care for customers/customer service. Rude, rude, rude. Don't waste your money on their overpriced slop. read more

What a wonderful dinner we had there! The Hostess was incredibly welcoming, personable, and friendly; the waiter was both knowledgeable and efficient as well as seemed to genuinely care that we had a great meal (which we did!)! We have read the review in Eater and it is highly accurate. Unfortunately, the head Chef has left since then. Nonetheless, whomever was cooking the night when we went did an amazing job of serving us delicious food that was true to the menu's descriptions and tasted great! This restaurant is adjacent to a co-owned wine shop. It makes sense then that their wine list was comprehensive and priced very fairly! I wish I had had more time to wander around the retail store, but we got there late in the evening and it had been a very warm day (92!), so we sat down and chugged cold water until our chilled white wine arrived. We saw the outdoor patio from the lovely inside (air conditioned) space where we ate, and on a cooler evening, that would have been the ticket! The next time I am in Santa Fe, I will go back in a heartbeat and so should you! read more

Amazing meal at @arroyovino last night. The 2016 Pagodes de Cos and Duck Confit together was mind blowing Everyone loved their meal. The Cabbage appetizer was especially delicious. Beautiful space, great wine shop as well. Professional yet friendly service. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Absolutely fantastic. We got all of the shareables and they all tasted great, although I really loved the calamari. Great ambiance and our server went above and beyond for us. One of the best restaurants I've been to in Santa Fe. read more

Fantastic fine dining restaurant with amazing views, music and flowers everywhere. The service is impeccable and informative. The cuisine is worthy of a James Beard Award... someone please tell them ;) This restaurant is a must if you're celebrating a special moment in Santa Fe! read more

Arroyo Vino - Tapestry in main dining room - New American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Arroyo Vino delivers an outstanding dining experience. The food is flavorful and generous with a wine list that's second to none. Our server, Alia, was exceptional--warm, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. This restaurant is a must-stop in Santa Fe. read more

this review is for the wine shop. Went there looking for recommendations for a nice bottle of wine for Thanksgiving to take to our friends. The guy that was working there was absolutely NO help. I asked him 3 times for recommendations to no avail. I can only assume he knows nothing about wine or couldn't be bothered. I've been there a few times (I live less than a mile away) but I won't be going back with that type of attitude. It appears they have all the business they want or need. read more

This was our anniversary dinner for our trip. We planned it a few weeks in advance. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype, but I was wrong. Jonathan, our waiter, and the staff was on their A game and I doubt they are ever off of it. Beyond the service the food was incredible. Every course complimented the next and stood on its own. If you are in Santa Fe and are a food and dining experience lover you have to come here. Thank you Arroyo Vino staff. Shout out to Jonathan (spelling?). A magical evening. read more

We were tipped off to this great restaurant/wine shop by a sommelier at a restaurant in a different city. It was a great referral, as the food is superb. The grilled artichoke made a nice starter, and the house-made chicken liver was wonderful. We also really enjoyed the spring salad. The chicken had a great coating of Indian spices, and the halibut also offered a nice medley of flavors. Of course, being attached to a wine shop, there are lots of nice selections on the wine list, although we would have liked to have been able to browse in the shop and then take a bottle into the restaurant. Wine prices aren't exactly bargains, but it is a ritzy part of Santa Fe. read more

A relaxed and yet upscale restaurant. I rarely eat pork but I order Edward the grilled pork tenderloin and it was perhaps the best I have had in my life. Flavorful and so tender. The server was attentive and gracious. My friend and I had a delightful evening at Arroyo Vino. read more

Excellent locals gem. Felt like a community clubhouse with amazing food and drinks. Service was incredible.

Best meal and service we have had in years including in New York and Chicago. Each course was better than the next. Great wine list at all price points. Professional and knowledgeable staff. read more

Nice restaurant if you're sitting outside good sunset. Ample Parking. Service was good. Food was nice, slightly small portions, tuna tartar was fantastic, so were the mushrooms and bread. Giving it four and not five stars because everything was a bit overpriced for what it was, cocktails were good but not great. read more

Arroyo Vino is a short drive from Santa Fe and it is worth the trip! They do close early, so be sure to make an early reservation via the OpenTable app. The parking lot is a little rustic, so if it is snowy, icy or rainy, leave your Jimmy Choos at home. We were seated immediately by our waiter, who delivered my French 75 and my companion's iced tea very promptly. We ordered the house made straciatelli and the chicken fried quail. G's mind was blown by the quail and the straciatelli was served with a heavenly soft focaccia with the most delicate char that was a perfect taste comparison with the cheese. Wow! If I could add star eyes that would be + 2. For our entrees, we ordered the porcini rubbed heritage pork chop and the cider braised Piedmontese short rib. G said it was the best pork chop he had ever eaten IN HIS LIFE. + 1! And the short rib was very moist and tender. I would have preferred it to be a warmer temperature. However, I understand the chef has a specific experience in mind. We were stuffed after 2 appetizers and two entrees so we passed on the dessert. Even though we passed on the dessert we got a special treat to celebrate my birthday, salted caramels. Thank you, chef! The service was just outstanding and not stuffy. + 2! read more

Fantastic meal! Nice atmosphere, great service, beautifully prepared and presented dishes, lots of menu options with an expansive wine list. Pan Roasted Scallops w/curried cauliflower puree, peas & nut dukkah was tender and delicious with a nice blend of spice & nut flavors. Grilled Artichoke pesto aioli was quite good, but the star of the meal was Pan Roasted Cauliflower, with quinoa, dates, carrots, saffron cauliflower purée, and pistachio/sesame dukkah. Tastes as great as it looks. Vanilla Panna Cotta was a perfect ender. Will definitely visit again when we're in Santa Fe. read more

Driving out to Arroyo Vino I was not sure I was going the right direction, but once I hit this little hidden gem, I knew I was heading towards an amazing experience. I walked into this spectacular wine shop, my mind was blown by what has been curated. Some of the best wines I've come across. Our dinner reservations were at 5pm as the place was completely booked so I took what I could. The service was superb, wine list outstanding, menu perfect. Each item we ordered just got better and better. What an amazing restaurant and I really can't wait to go back! Bravo! read more

After coming in from out of town due to a death in the family we were graciously given a gift certificate to Arroyo Vino from one of our coworkers for $150 and visited both the wine shop and went to dinner. We intended to use the gift certificate for dinner as that was the intent of the gift. Unfortunately, due to our minds being elsewhere we left the certificate at our hotel and we told our picture of it would not work. Returning to get it would have taken us beyond dining hours and so we asked if we could return with it the next day and were told that should be fine. The next day (today) we called ahead that we were coming in to bring it and receive the discount but were told "nothing could be done" by Brian. Presumably this is Brian Bargsten who is the managing partner so it seems there is no other recourse than to leave a warning to others about their lack of service and compassion. Supremely disappointed to say the least considering our interactions with other staff such as Vicky were great. Our family still in the area will certainly no longer be frequenting. read more

Found this spot when planning a brief stay in Santa Fe. We stayed at the Inn on Alameda and it was a 10-12 minute Uber/Lyft ride to the restaurant. The food was incredible, our server was charming and gave good recommendations, we LOVED the Pinot Noir and treated ourselves to dessert. Highly recommend trying the carrots, crudite and chicken liver (shareables)! For dessert, we tried the lemon tart and loved it! As someone who is gluten-free due to an allergy, the menu was labeled appropriately and the server was hands-on ensuring nothing was served without care and consideration. Recommend making a reservation early as they seem to book quickly. If you're one of the last reservations for the evening, book a Lyft in advance of your meal so that you can guarantee a ride home without too much of a wait. read more

We had one of the best meals that we have ever had in our 30+ years of visiting Santa Fe. Tonight we had a memorable dinner on our first visit to Arroyo Vino. We opted to sit on the simplistically beautiful patio on a mild September evening. Our server was attentive, yet casual; the way we like to dine. As we watched the beautiful sun set over the Jemez Mountains, we sipped wonderful wine from their creative wine list. As we selected our dinner our server, Michael, told us that another server, Jimmy, was well-versed in matching wines with our food selection. Jimmy's advice was very useful. We also told our server that we preferred to share main courses. Michael assured us that that was not a problem. We selected the pate; the melons & prosciutto; the farro & arugula salad; and, the heritage pork tenderloin. We typically don't opt for dessert; but, we were having such a great meal that we decided to have their house-made sorbets which were the perfect end to the meal. We visit Santa Fe regularly and have now added Arroyo Vino to our list of favorites. read more

Very average food and the Only attraction is proximity to nothing else. The manager/owner? Is rude and knows it is close so who cares. Tasteless sauces and usual dishes; nothing special. Sad that you wouldn't create a legacy restaurant; instead you take advantage of being the only one. Won't last once there is a good Italian restaurant that delivers. Disappointing. Sorry read more

We've always enjoyed Arroyo Vino. We found out about it when Julian had moved from Artichoke Cafe in Albuquerque and frequented it since. This was a special day though. Being that this experience was in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and it was our 4th Wedding Anniversary I had called the day previous (actual anniversary date) and ordered from their online email menu. No more than 5 minutes after I hung up, I had to call them back and cancel - because I had to get PPE for our dental practice. This is where the good part of this starts... The hostess/receptionist was so gracious and had no issues with cancellation. I told her that I would call back the following day to reset our anniversary dinner. The next day, lo and behold, as I was reaching in my pocket for my phone to call them, I get a call - from Arroyo Vino. I was so pleasantly surprised! She remembered what I had ordered with a slight change (swordfish). I placed the order for a 6:30 pm pickup. We planned a picnic style dinner so we scouted out the area around Arroyo Vino for a nice spot and found one about 4 miles out. We went and picked up our dinner. They had a little vase with flowers - which my wife loved. The bag with dinner was decorated and referenced our anniversary. So very sweet. We went back to our spot and unpacked our table and chairs and of course the dinner. It was likely the first "real restaurant" dinner we've had in a couple of months. As usual, the swordfish, flat iron steak and the accoutrements were prepared perfectly. A good bottle of wine and a beautiful sunset rounded out the evening. Thanks so much Arroyo Vino for making this anniversary a very special one! The memory will long be retained. The service was above and beyond. That's why we keep coming back. read more

Food was everything we expected and more. The service was second to none with Jonathan being our server Ambiance The room was very well decorated and the noise level was reasonable. Highly recommended place read more

Sitting outside under the tent at Arroyo Vino, a well liked restaurant 15 minutes outside Santa Fe, the enchantment of New Mexico was palpable. Unfortunately, the food and service at Arroyo Vino weren't quite as enchanting. Ostensibly, a wine restaurant attached to a wine store, the menu at Arroyo Vino was quite extensive for a relatively small space. Some of the offerings were wonderful, such as the pork schnitzel. The seafood dishes were drowned in toppings, masking the organic flavor of the fish. Pastas were interesting, but not really delicious. They were okay. Service was more Taos laid back than Santa Fe slick, except for a white jacketed maitre d', who was incongruously formal. Laissez faire service is fine, with Taos prices. Arroyo Vino had Santa Fe pricing. When Arroyo Vino has entertainment, I will be happy to return. Yet, I wouldn't go out of my way just for the food. read more

PERFECTION..Simply perfection So coming from LA we enjoy a lot of good restaurants. The wine and food program at this amazing little, authentic and delicious Santa Fe restaurant was easily, if not better than most LA, 5 star restaurants. Everything from the foods sourcing, to it's preparation, to the service and most importantly it's taste are exquisite. It's so impressive and the staff is so accommodating. It's like going to restaurant heaven, which is so hard to do. We had: Shishito peppers in the most amazing umami miso butter! Beet salad - soo fresh! Cavatelli- a heaven on a fork pasta dish Pork chops - perfect (use the miso butter on here as well!) 10 Stars! read more

Arroyo Vino - Pork chop - New American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

In a word Overpriced. Ambience and architecture is reminiscent of a very nice deluxe triple wide mobile home. Entering Arroyo Vino we encountered a massive wine shop and the clerks were flippant when asked where the restaurant was and just said with disgust "over there! Without pointing or smiling just scowling. We walked into a bar and we're immediately greeted with a very rancid and fetid stench of the apparent cooking of some very fresh bad fish. We entered the dining room which felt like an extension of the bar. The fishy stench remained the whole time while we were in the "dining room". We ordered drinks which were quite good and then tried to figure out the menu. It didn't seem to have anything that didn't have Smokey sauce flavorings, mayo or weird smoky cheeses. One of our guests ordered the "Waygu" steak. When the waiter asked how it was she said "tough and I don't think it's really Waygu". The waiter said "you should've told me before you ate it." Real Waygu is known to be marbled and ultra tender--this was definitely not Waygu. While tasty it was ultra tough. It's the only restaurant in las Campagnas other than the Clubhouse that does t admit the general public. It's too bad that las campagnas doesn't allow competition as anything even of average quality would do well immediately adjacent to Arroyo Vino. My advice is Come for the wine and drinks --go somewhere else for food, service, and ambience. As is reiterated in other reviews ARroyo Vino would not make it if it weren't the only restaurant within 5 miles. Someone please open another restaurant. read more

We have dined at Arroyo Vino 2-3 times a year for the last five years. It's been consistently excellent until our recent visit. Our salad was not well prepared. Our fried green tomatoes were way over cooked. The fried tomatoes were delivered to the table before we finished our salad. The pasta sause was substandard and the portion size was ridiculously small for the price. We won be returning soon. We expect an excellent meal for the prices they charge. read more

Came here last night for our first dinner in Santa Fe. It is literally in the middle of nowhere and we initially got lost, thanks to my iphone's map. Cute but non-descript place with a restaurant and wine shop attached. There is also outdoor dining, which we were assigned to. The menu is not large but full of seasonal and delightful items. I had the salmon with the summer harvest veggies. I did order medium-rare but it came out so uncooked that I couldn't pull the fish apart. They gladly re-heated after I made the request. A good meal considering there are not that many options for this type of place in Santa Fe; however, I wouldn't say it's comparable to big-city restaurants. Tip: make sure you get correct directions and not to rely on GPS. There was basically no service around this area, so if you have no back-up, you're basically SOL! read more

Food was amazing! We had a couple of appetizers (including grilled octopus), a lovely bottle of red wine from Umbria and we had a variety of diners including a vegetarian. All had excellent meals ( Porcini Tagliatelle, grilled eggplant and a steak meal) capping off the night with dessert and after dinner drinks. All on their new covered deck. Highly recommend!! read more

We read such rave reviews we thought we would try Arroyo Vino out. My duck dish was delicious, but my husbands rabbit dish was like mashed potatoes. It was obvious that it has been in the suvie WAY too long. They replaced it but the waiter was not very polite or friendly. read more

We've had two excellent meals here in the last month. I especially enjoyed the scallops. Update: Arroyo Vino has been our number one restaurant for no contact drive up to-go meals during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have done everything possible to make us feel safe and healthy while offering several new and delicious meal options Tuesday-Saturday. We just read they will start outdoor dining. Looking forward to that! And, as always, their wine shop continues to offer premium wine and spirits to go. read more

The wine was very good, and the food was good but didn't seem worth the price. It may be that the meat options are better. We had all the vegetarian appetizers. The focaccia was okay, though the whipped feta was good! The beets were fresh and nicely dressed. The endive salad was okay, and our cauliflower entree was good but again nothing so amazing as to feel as upscale as the cost/environment. Also, appreciated that the service was very fast but it was almost too fast - we barely finished each plate and it was taken away, making the dinner (including dessert and check) done in little over an hour. Took a bit away from the experience of a nice, slow meal. read more

Honestly some of the best food in Santa Fe ... innovative, fresh , great wine list ... a little out of the way from downtown but worth the trip ! read more

The Restaurant manager and owner threatened to charge us $100.00 fee because they were not able to accommodate our special needs and they did not want to cancel our reservation !! Very unkind and completely uncomfortable. The owner was so rude to me that he said I looked pretentious and did not fit in to the city of Santa Fe, and that I was not the right type of person to eat at his restaurant. My Partner and I felt like we were not welcome at all, and that they were trying to take $100.00 from us for nothing. Absolutely Terrible !! read more

Wonderful chef, great service, very pleasant ambiance. They have survived the last two years by constant adaptation and consistency.

Five of us celebrated a birthday and we weren't disappointed. One of our party is a vegetarian and another is an oenophile so it can be challenging. Virginia our server wasn't deterred; she handled us with professionalism and humor! Her menu recommendations were all on point. My chicken liver pate with cornichons, mustard and crunchy bread was exquisite. The Moroccan chicken was outstanding with olives, Marcona almonds, preserved lemon, and perfect harissa! Our group's wine connoisseur was thrilled with the extensive wine list. Virginia brought us wine samples too! Our vegetarian was able to substitute a "cauliflower-steak" for any main entree preparation; he chose the chanterellemushroom with corn salad and was pleased. We'll return to this heaven on earth. read more
