I settled for the Fish and Chips. It was rockfish. Never had rockfish, so did not know what to expect. The plate also included shrimp, fries, and slaw. I was pleasantly surprised by the slaw. I think it had apples in it. I really enjoyed it. The shrimp were huge and good. The fries were tasty. Now, I did not enjoy the rockfish. It was too fishy for me. There were other things I wanted to try, but there were also other places nearby that I wanted to try. So, I didn't come back for another round. If I am in the area again, I will try something else.

I decided to skip lunch and nachos was ordered for kids.... Well, it didn't look very kitchen involved. The person was nice but he couldn't answer my questions. I find it very difficult to dine here in the hotel.... What kind of restaurant doesn't serve lunch at 1:05pm? We were here for their Thanksgiving buffet at lunch. The restaurant itself is a bit difficult to find from inside of Hilton. Staff here are incredibly friendly and efficient. They were busy but still attentive with a good sense of humor. Food options were good. In addition to Thanksgiving tradition (turkey etc), some nice seafood options, prime rib, ham, short rib were also presented. I like the cold prawn. Super fresh and nicely prepared. The prime rib unfortunately was very dry.... Flavor was good but maybe it has rested too long under the light. Veggies were nice and good play on texture for the green beans and fried onions. Root veggies were nicely flavored. Desserts include pumpkin pie, pecan pie and some tiramisu cupcakes. They are all on the sweet side. Tiramisu was a bit cold in the middle. Good to mix with hot coffee. Overall, it was a great experience. We all had a good time.

This Native American casino is run by the Pueblo of Tesuque. It is a gorgeous newer building,…read morenon-smoking!! And has such stunning views. They have RV parking in the upper lot. No hook ups and you must check in first at Security to get a paper that you put in your window to show that you've been checked in. The Security office is right inside the front doors and to the right. To do have to show ID. Upon our arrival, we pulled up in front of the main building and went into Security. We got our paper and went up to the top level parking to find a space. There are no marked RV spaces, just regular car spaces, but you're able to park across multiple car spaces. I think there were two other RVs in the parking lot when we were there. But it's a large lot and very little traffic. Just be sure you're parked out of the way of any other vehicle traffic. There are no hook ups, but we didn't need any. It was early September when we were heading back to Washington State, so the weather was nice. Our stopping in Santa Fe was to visit my in-laws resting place at the Santa Fe National Cemetery, as my father-in-law was a World War II Veteran. We did end up having one meal at their Cottonwood restaurant, and it was delicious unfortunately, we could not eat on the outdoor patio as there were thunderstorms in the area. The view is really nice and the restaurant is quite large. This is a good place for groups and celebrations. We enjoyed our lunch greatly. I believe the hours were from 11 to 2. They do also have a pick up and go area right outside the restaurant that's open until 8 PM. For lunch I had the French dip sandwich and fries, which was totally delicious. The day we were there, the Chef had a special of three tacos and different sauces, which my husband ordered. He was quite pleased with his meal as well. All we needed was a place to spend one night, and we found this fabulous non-smoking casino.They allow you to stay up to three nights here. We will definitely be happy to return on our next trip through Santa Fe.

We also got the side of queso dip. The bbq ribs were good (not amazing) but the sides of coleslaw, potatoes and beans for $19 made for a delicious overall plate. The green chile Mac & cheese with friend chicken was delicious. And the side of queso for $6 was generous, super tasty and served with lots of tortilla chips. I recommend this combo of dishes, we were beyond stuffed with all this good food. We loved the outdoor patio, as did our dog :) There was live music from 4-6pm, wish it lasted a bit longer but good to know for a future visit. Service was friendly, a bit slow as they were quite packed (and it was a Tuesday!). I recommend going for happy hour to enjoy the live music, great drink prices, and yummy food!

I had the Sample Platter #1 and let me first say that all of their sides were excellent (particularly the potato salad and slaw). I even ordered an extra side of Calabacitas (fresh & tasty). Hand cut fries were also superb. Unfortunately, the bbq fell way short. Brisket: worse I've ever had anywhere, leathery and totally devoid of any moisture (not edible); chicken: again, super dry and no moisture; the ribs: good flavor, but also dry yet at least edible. IMO, in a bbq joint, the bbq should be the star of the show; in this case it wasn't even a supporting player. You simply cannot severely overcooked your main atttactions. Also, this is the first bbq joint I've ever visited that didn't supply bbq sauce at the tables, although there is not enough sauce that could've help slide this dry stuff down.

We ordered two sodas, habachi chicken entree, gyoza, a California roll, and a Japanese crepe cake. The habachi comes with soup and a salad.

The habachi chicken and fried rice was very good and of course I had more than enough to take home. We finished it off with the crepe cake which was a fun experience and tasted delightful.

You can tell they take a lot of pride in their steaks. The sides were just as impressive.

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.

A Christmas Letter to the Owner of Rio Chama:…read more Dear Owner, Merry Christmas! Thank you for providing the worst Christmas Eve dinner my family has ever experienced. I'll get right to the point so the rest of our night is no longer wasted by your horrible restaurant. First of all, the gap between giving us water and asking what drinks we'd like was at least 20 mins. The gap between ordering drinks and receiving them was at least 25 minutes. That's over a 45 minute wait!! Not to mention, when my stepfather asked about the Manhattan, the server said she didn't know anything about it. (We'd soon find out your "chefs" don't know anything about cooking). While we're on the subject of servers, we had four of them. Not sure if one was supposed to be a primary server or if we were deliberately given a rotating cast of uncaring people off the street who had the demeanor of someone about to receive a colonoscopy. Hey Owner- maybe when charging 4 people $360 for 4 bloody slabs of unseasoned meat (despite 3 people requesting medium-well), the least you could do is provide ONE server. Also- we noticed you raised your prices an extra $25 per plate for your Christmas meal. Thanks. I won't feel bad at all when you close your doors permanently. My family deserved better. The city of Santa Fe deserves better. You deserve bankruptcy. Seasons Greetings, Our Extremely Disappointed Family PS The au jus sauce had no flavor whatsoever. Why even include it? PSS Are your mashed potatoes served cold year round or was this exclusive to the Christmas menu? PSSS Happy new year!

We were looking for a vegetarian place in the area, and were coming up short. But we happened to…read moresee this place listed on a blog about vegan options in Santa Fe. It sounded good, so we decided to check it out. It's a little hard to find as it sits behind another building. You have to kind of go around the block to get there. There is a parking lot in front, but it is confusing where you can park (there are signs about not parking for some establishments and only for some businesses, so it's really not clear). We wound up asking in the restaurant and it was fine. The place is pleasant inside. Lots of nice decorations. And there was a steady stream of people coming in and ordering takeout. The menu is on the small side, but the dishes they have all looked really good. One member of our party has a nut allergy, and several dishes have cashews - so the menu was even more limiting for him. But the staff were great. Several people talked to him about what he could eat, and brought out the binder that showed what was "safe." We wound up getting several of the mushroom uttapam and a white truffle dosa. They came with chutney and sambar accompaniments, some of which were flavorful but a little spicy. All in all a great meal. My wife finished her dish, which she typically doesn't do - it was a testament to how much she enjoyed her meal.
