The food is pretty solid, not exceptional, but worth a try…read moreIt's been decades since we ate at Joe's, probably because the last time we were there, we weren't impressed. Well, they have new owners, so my wife and I decided to try again. The food is much better, it's solid, good portions, and very reasonably priced compared to other Restaurants serving some of the same dishes (more later). For example, I tried the Friday special of Fish and Chips. The fish was nice, not fishy tasting, not greasy, with a nice, if somewhat bland, batter. The same dish at, say, Rowley's is superior and costs at least $10 more. So yeah, you can get better F&C's, but this version was pretty good. The chips (fries) had the skin on (great!), not overly salty, and tasty enough to eat without ketchup, my standard of a good fry. It came with a very nice Hawawin cole slaw, the kind with bits of pineapple. Nice. My wife had the special of the day, which was a BBQ plate. I know, a diner for BBQ? It was actually quite good, and better than many of the Restaurants that serve BBQ (I'm talking about you, Texas Roadhouse, with your 'award-winning ribs'). The plate came with ribs, brisket, and a sausage. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, albeit a bit dry; they needed the nice, if slightly too sweet, BBQ sauce. The brisket was much better; tender and juicy. But the sausage was excellent! I think they are made in-house. The seasoning's flavor profile was excellent. It also came with the nice cole slaw and decent pickled red onions. Also, a rather large, unnecessary, and flavorless slice of thick "Texas toast". Joe, you can this item from the dish, it's not needed nor tasty. Our server, David L, was excellent in all respects. We went early on a Friday, around 5:30 PM, and there were plenty of tables, but by 6:15 the main dining area was getting pretty full. There's a nice and large back room with a full bar. The new owners have upped their game at Joe's dinner (and pizza, which we didn't try in Santa Fe, a town that struggles with this dish). I recommend you give it a try. It isn't going to blow you away, at least we were not blown away, but the food was solid, the menu has something for virtually everyone, and the service was great. Lots of parking, good location for a meal on the 'south side'. Give it a try.

Rio Chama Steakhouse was outstanding. I ordered the filet, and it truly melted in my mouth. It was…read morecooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. You can tell they take a lot of pride in their steaks. The sides were just as impressive. The asparagus was fresh and perfectly prepared, and the mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Everything on the plate felt high quality and thoughtfully done. The atmosphere had that classic steakhouse feel and the service was great throughout the meal. If you're in Santa Fe and want an amazing steak dinner, Rio Chama is definitely worth the visit.

The coleslaw had a delicious flavor and cut through the heartiness of the burger. 5 stars for Second Street Brewery just for the Alien Burger!! Eat it, right now! The beers were a range of great to OK. The brown ale was our favorite! The bitter was very good. The two hazy IPAs were not great... When we arrived, the service experience was pretty confusing. We were told to order from different people, our server was overwhelmed with a big table, so we ordered from the bar. But the server excused himself and was really cool in the end. There's tons of seating inside, and an outdoor patio, so this is a great spot for groups. And we got to meet the Chef, he was so nice!! Gave him massive compliments on the burger ;) We will 100% be back to Second Street Brewery when in Santa Fe, I'll be fantasizing about their Alien Burger until then!!

I was…read moreexcited to introduce her to a restaurant I've always thought was first rate and worth the wait as it can get very crowded. I'm not sure what's happened to Vinaigrette, but the entire experience was completely disappointing. I asked the server to bring bread with our meal and was presented with some kind of focaccia bread stick that was hard and stale. What happened to the wonderful bread that used to be served there! I ordered the Tuna Salad, and my friend ordered the Beet Salad. While there was a generous amount of tuna, it was shredded into very small pieces and the salad was dry. It was completely underwhelming and unsatisfying. My friend commented the dressing on her salad was very sweet and the pistachios were ground up into the goat cheese. I'm very surprised at the quality of the dishes as I've never had a less than great experience there prior to this experience. I hope this was an isolated incident but will think twice about returning.
