Y'know, it is very good. Nothing is flawed. Nice ambiance, good service. But the only thing we had there that was memorably good was the mushroom-sherry bisque. I can't recall anything else we ate. So you can have a fine meal at Geronimo. It's just that I expected more from the numero uno restaurant in a foodie town like Santa Fe. read more

This was our last dinner out in Santa Fe and was the best dining and culinary experience here. Everyone told us this is the best fine dining in the entire state and they were correct. The interior is classy and very comfortable. We were seated at a nice comfy corner booth. The soft music in the background was soothing and just noticeable enough without being a distraction. We were served complimentary flutes of local sparking wine and a fresh baked bread basket and butter to start. We then ordered cocktails and three starters. First was a split plate of the endive smoked duck salad with a warm bacon vinegarette. Wow...this was nice and refreshing. This was followed by the crab dumplings with fresh corn and peas and lobster sauce. Delicious! The final small plate was seared foie gras on top of banana bread toast. This was very good. I miss foie gras. Unfortunately, it's banned in California. They had a 2023 Sea Smoke "Ten"Pi ot Noir on the wine list. This is one of the best Pinot Noirs produced in California and not easy to find. This was a no doubter and we ordered a bottle to pair with our entrees. My wife ordered their signature elk tenderloin for redemption because the restaurant the night before failed at executing this. I ordered the tomahawk pork chop. This was cooked to perfection with a nice thin crust on the outside and a perfect very light pink juicy center. We ordered a side of brocolini that was pan roasted with shallots and butter. Everything was very good and Michelin grade in our opinion. Lastly we ended the evening and split the tiramasu type of desert. My wife had the expresso martini and I had an 18 year old Glen Morangie scotch neat. The service was excellent and worth the splurge. This is a must when visiting Santa Fe. read more

We had a lovely evening at Geronimo. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was comfortable. The wine selection was good and the complimentary glass of Gruet was a nice way to start the meal. Between us we thoroughly enjoyed the tuna sashimi/tartare, the wasabi caesar, the white prawns, miso bass, tenderloin and the lobster - everything was perfectly prepared. Highly recommended! read more

My mother and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Geronimo on Canyon Road, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Set inside a beautifully restored historic adobe home, the atmosphere is both elegant and warmly inviting--perfect for a memorable evening out. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. Our waitress, Cari, delivered truly superb service--attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely warm. She made thoughtful recommendations and ensured every detail of our dining experience felt seamless and special. The food itself was outstanding. Each dish was artfully presented and layered with rich, well-balanced flavors. It's clear the kitchen takes pride in using high-quality ingredients and crafting a menu that feels both creative and refined. We each enjoyed our own Oven-Roasted Pork Belly appetizer - aaahmazing! Very generous portion of lobster with the Grilled Maine Lobster dish and the Oven-Roasted Beef Short Rib was cooked to absolute perfection. Highly recommend this restaurant with Cari and all the staff for your next evening out. read more

Geronimo was highly recommended by family members so we made a reservation in advance and went for dinner our 1st night in Santa Fe. It is a 25min walk from the downtown plaza area so we drove. It was in the art gallery area in an interesting building. The ambiance and decor were incredible. Our waiter was very personable, fun, and friendly. It had a cozy atmosphere and all the staff were great! Overall this was a fantastic experience. Definitely go while in Santa Fe if you can!! We were greeted with a glass of champagne, which was lovely. We shared the Wasabi Caesar salad, the Lobster -Poblano bisque, and the Grilled Beef Tenderloin. The Wasabi Caesar is a MUST!! It is interesting and absolutely delicious. I'm not usually a soup person, but the Lobster-Poblano Bisque sounded good. The poblano was not totally obvious. Overall the flavor was nice. The tenderloin was fantastic as well. It was perfectly prepared. The meat and the sauce had great flavor. The cheese-potato terrine was interesting and very good. Our waiter spoke highly of the Fresh Meyer Lemon Crêpe dessert. I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but my husband wanted to try it. It is definitely a large portion. It was refreshing. The lemon curd and the crêpe were the best part. It comes with Limoncello which we poured on top. We didn't love that flavor, so if you try it I'd sample a small bit with it first. Apologies, I was tired from traveling and enjoying conversation with my husband. So, I only remembered to take a photo of the Wasabi Caesar salad after we started eating. read more

Been here twice in two years and got the elk tenderloin both times. That's my endorsement. Service is outstanding and knowledgeable. Desserts are inventive and delicious. Valet guy is super helpful but clearly could use a second guy. read more

Geronimo is an absolutely perfect dining experience. Every dish and glass of wine was perfect. Service was professional, knowledgeable, and exceptionally attentive. It is as beautiful, elegant, quiet space and I like the no cellphones policy. My only small objection is that as a tourist in the area, I felt it was an exceptional meal that I might have in many larger American cities. The cuisine was not unique to New Mexico. If I lived locally I'm certain I would not feel this way. Would definitely go back any time I was in the area again. read more

Excellent food, great service, fantastic ambiance. Grilled lobster tails were very tender, elk tenderloin had great flavor, oven roasted beet salad also very good. Lobster bisque was incredible, crab dumplings could've been better. The lamb chops and white prawns were also excellent. Food came out quick, inside was spotless, our server Pablo was great. Definitely pricey but the quality makes it worth it. read more

Excellence.... It's a given that The Michelin guide is sleeping on Santa Fe but this place in particular blew our minds. We saw the reviews and thought how good can this place really be? Well let's start with the entrance, there isn't a seating area so don't arrive too early but the actual layout is impressive you are greeted by two eternal flames the layout of the restaurant is like a labyrinth. Not all spots created equally, but regardless of where you are sitting the food and service are exceptional. Sure it's a little bit pricey but if you go al la carte you looking at $100-$125 pp all in. The four course vegetarian at $80 is phenomenal value. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and his passion shined through every interaction we had. The dish that blew me away the most was the elk, it was holy cow... probably one of the top 10 most satisfying meals I've had the pleasure of consuming. Please don't come here if you're in a rush. This is an experience meant to be savored and good cooking takes time. The area around the restaurant is gorgeous and historic. Great place to meander and people watch. read more

Nearly five Stars and nearly a thousand reviews... that's pretty much all you need to know :) The food here is first class; the other reviews dig into the details of particular dishes. My recommendation is to order dishes that are more 'different' from each other & then share. The building is from 1756 (whoa) with extremely cool atmosphere. If you're a foodie [and if you're a Yelper you probably are], definitely go. Reservations *strongly* recommended, if not (almost) required read more

We visited for our anniversary, and enjoyed Joseph's excellent service, a fine meal, and yes, two desserts because even though we've been married a long time, we couldn't agree on one. Amuse-bouche: Wild mushroom and sherry bisque Appetizers: Seared foie Tuna tartare Mains: Elk to avoid food envy, though the lamb chops looked good as well Dessert: Meyer Lemon Crépe Warm Organic pear and almond tart (If I were to choose only one, I'd choose the lemon crépe). read more

The food are amazing here. one of the best in Santa Fe, but also it's on the pricy side. the space is elegant and best for a night out to dress up. pay attention to the art decor on the walls, they are very unique and mesmerizing. We had reservation and were seated right away with a glass of complimentary sparkling wine to start while we are looking at the menu. Wasabi Caesar: must try, very unique with Crispy Rice "Dice". Lobster-Poblano Bisque is very rich and flavorful. Pan-Seared Foie Gras is nice but portion is very small. Grilled Maine Lobster Tails is my favorite of all, the flavor is very rich with garlic and creamy in the angel hair pasta Green Miso Sea Bass is nice but the noodle kinda taste like instant noodle and a little lack of flavor with the broth Tellicherry Rubbed Elk Tenderloin is very tender and juicy New Mexico Four Corners Grilled Rack of Lamb is a strongest meat dish of them all, very large size of the lamb and cooked in perfection. read more

This place feels very intimate and special from the start. The cocktails are very good, with the bourbon bramble being a real standout. The caramelized pork belly was our favorite starter. The fish special was delicious, but the beef tenderloin was a bit underwhelming. The meat itself was a tad under seasoned so the veal demi was doing all the heavy lifting. The pistachio tres leches was the best dessert we had on our whole trip to Santa Fe. read more

Does this place really need any more 5 star reviews? It's pretty clear that it's the cream of the crop, at least IMHO. I'd put Geronimo comfortably ahead of the usual suspects on the top 10 lists. I was surprised that it's actually comparable cost-wise to its main competitors. If I'm gonna pay SF prices, THIS is the experience I'm happy to pay for. Charming, converted residence with divided rooms, golden ambiance with lovely background music. Wasn't sure how dressy it is given its rep and location, but there were some in jeans. Light touch, seamless service. Food was spectacular. Some in our group had the 4 course vegetarian menu. That was outstanding, especially the mushroom soup. Beef tenderloin perfectly cooked. Impressive overall. read more

I've been a few times since 2021. Unfortunately, things seem to have headed downhill. Here are a few of the changes I've noticed since 2021: 1.The duck confit, once a favorite of mine, is off the menu. 2. The portion size of the elk tenderloin has decreased to the point where it is no longer sufficiently large to be filling on its own. 3. The butter is no longer soft and whipped with herbs. Instead, it is served too-cold-to-spread, with a single piece of rosemary on top. 4. The servers no longer introduce the sauces for any of the dishes when they are brought out. Instead, a member of the kitchen staff brings the dishes and whispers inaudibly at you. 5. When celebrating an event, the waitstaff no longer ask if you would like complementary champagne or chocolate sorbet, and instead just bring it to you. We wanted neither. 6. Waitstaff now aggressively push you to order more food and drink. 7. The waitstaff have gotten rather condescending. At one point this was more of a come-as-you-are place where the waiter complimented a customer's graphic tee. This year, the waiter bragged about how many times he'd eaten one of the dishes. 8. This year, I was served my steak with no steak knife. Even with all of those negatives, the food is still good enough that it's not a bad restaurant. It just isn't what it once was. With some passion and drive, it could reclaim that former glory, and I hope that it does. read more

We have been coming to New Mexico for almost years now and when we come here we love to reserve us a table for 2 every time! Again, we were not disappointed when we reserved a table for two on our wedding night. We eloped here and so happy we did. The service was everything it always has been and the food was spectacular as usual too! First they brought us out a pea soup which they always have and highly recommend having this if you love pea soup. This is up there with the best I've ever had! The ambience is amazing here too, it's great for celebrating special occasions but it's more of an "intimate" atmosphere. They have some outside seating as well and a small bar but I'm quite sure you should call to reserve your table or bar seats. Valet parking is available and there's also street parking or there's a parking lot up the street where you can pay with your credit card. read more

We were pleased to be accepted for a last minute reservation- albeit on the porch because we'd read so much about Geronimo. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. Our server was well informed, but seemed to rush us through the meal. Much attention was given to the presentation of the food, and in every case, it was quite attractive. It was not however, tasty or well cooked. Sadly, the sour dough did not seem fresh. The dumplings were bland, My prawns were dry and even the dessert seemed lacking in pizzazz. Possible that Mother's Day was simply too much to deliver? I'm sorry to be so negative but at these prices I expect dishes that delight the palate, not just a pretty picture. read more

My daughter got us an early dinner reservation on Saturday, because everything else was booked. And there is good reason. We were greeted immediately by the hostesses who were very nice, and seated us straight away. From the outside of the restaurant, it is somewhat unassuming, but when you enter, it is elegant, very clean and stylish. Our waiter was not far behind after we were seated, took our drink order and when he came back a short time after that gave us the rundown on the days features. We ordered a couple of appetizers, the Slow-Braised Short Ribs and the Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Sashimi & Tartare. When they arrived, they were plated beautifully. And the taste, OMG, the short rib was one of the best, if not THE best short rib I have ever tasted. Cut it with a butter knife and it just melts in your mouth. Super delicious. The tuna and tartare were off the charts as well. So flavorful. Forgot to mention the breads, the green chili biscuits were excellent. I mentioned how good they were and our waiter and he brought out another bowl for us. I ordered the Fiery Sweet Chili & Honey-Grilled Mexican White Prawns for my entree because I mentioned how I like my food spicey and the waiter agreed that is what I should order. He even brought me out a side of the chili sauce so I could add some to my entree. The prawns were large, the rice cakes were delicious as well. A great choice! My daughter ordered the Grilled Maine Lobster Tails, that is her go to at Geronimo, and I now know why. I did get a taste with the pasta. SO GOOD! This is what I would order the next time there. Between the service, the ambiance, the drinks and the food, all top notch. You cannot go wrong dining here! read more

Geronimo - Fiery Sweet Chili & Honey-Grilled Mexican White Prawns, DELICIOUS! - French Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Worth visiting - beautiful intimate setting with creative and well presented food that slightly missed the mark. Our service was slow which I attribute to our casual attire - recommend dressing up. Risotto was perfectly cooked and rich but not memorable with a strange sauce, 3/5 Beet salad was a symphony of tangy sauce, goat cheese and greens, only complaint was the beets were slightly soft and overpowered the other ingredients with proportion. 4.5 Prawns with potato cake were delicious with Asian inspired sauce, a little sweet. 4.5 Sea bass was well cooked but missed an opportunity for a crispy skin. Noodles were tasty could use a touch more salt. Bok Choi and miso flavors complemented everything but I wasn't sure about the truffle. 4 Crème brûlée brought out a lemon flavor, forgettable 3 read more

Outstanding service. Great space. Best mushroom soup ever and our other dishes were great too.

We had superlative service from Miranda and Mauro for our anniversary dinner. In all of our travels my husband's favorite cocktail is the Manhattan Project-and it never disappoints. We ordered the Seafood Risotto croquettes to whet our palate. As Miranda would say- scrumptious! To us-purely delectable. For dinner- my husband ordered his favorite - the Elk Medallions. I opted for the Lobster with pasta which was over the top-the flavors of the pasta with the creamy sriracha sauce and edamame was a taste like no other. We received VIP treatment from start to finish. Both Miranda and Mauro ensured we had every need met. We topped off our meal with the beautiful Tiramisu dessert. Cheers to another year of wedded bliss and fabulous meals and service. read more

Went here with a group of friends. We had a great mixture of food and drinks. We had roasted beet salad for starters. We then had elk tenderloin and beef tenderloin for the main course. We had a great fresh white wine and a Pinot noir for the main dish. The food was good maybe a little light on salt but ok with very attentive service read more

*4.5 star overall rating* I was quite happy to squeeze in a reservation at Geronimo before my Santa fe trip came to an end. I sat at the bar for my reservation. Both bartenders provided excellent service but surprisingly neither told me their names. For starters, I got their Arborio rice risotto: lobster, rock shrimp, kings crab leg & lobster beurre blanc. My bartender was spot on when she said that the rice risotto was minimal coz all that seafood dominated the plate and it did. The soup you see is my bartender's complimentary offering of Wild mushroom & sherry bisque: this has to go down as the *best* mushroom bisque I had in 2024. For my entree, I had their maple-black pepper roasted pork shank: mile mushrooms, brandied demi-glace & baby greens with garlic mashed potatoes. As large as the pork looks, I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it but I did without being overly full. Didn't even need my knife as the pork pieces came right off with my forking! The bartenders did an amazing job with my bourbon negroni cocktail. I had their meyer lemon crepe dessert: Lemon curd, creme fraiche & limoncello. It was a nice dessert although I was expecting something a bit more exciting. Overall, this was an amazing fine dining meal and I will return to Geronimo for sure. read more

We enjoyed an amazing dinner here. The food, service and ambience were exceptional. The locals like it as much as the tourists and that's saying a lot in a touristy town. The Maryland soft shell crab BLT (a special) and the Wagyu carpaccio were outstanding as appetizers. I had the New England lobster tail pasta and hubby had the miso sea bass with ramen noodles. The broth was very well developed. The staff pays attention to details. The kitchen is extremely efficient but they don't skimp on preparation and presentation. We would be regulars if we lived here. read more

Wife and I celebrated our anniversary by having a great dinner at Geronimo. The service was excellent. They gave us a small sample of the Hawaiian Tuna Sashimi for our occasion. I got the grilled beef tenderloin with frites. The steak was cooked perfectly on a bed of minced vegetable medley with smoked bacon. My wife got the special of the day, Hawaiian opah on top of basil risotto with a red bell pepper puree. We both loved the fish plate. So happy we came when it was an off menu special. For dessert we had the lemon crepe and banana cream pie. The lemon crepe I could eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or midnight snack. It was awesome and refreshingly light after the steak I had. The banana cream pie was perfect with a great flavor. Overall we love Geronimo and plan to make it a staple when we visit Santa Fe. read more

This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been in. They executed everything perfectly. Our server Erica and her support staff were a wonderful addition to the evening. She was gracious and very accommodating. The meal was beyond words - we had a seafood croquette, and Ahi tuna with caviar, for our starters, followed by white prawns and elk for our main courses - UNFORGETTABLE! The lemon curd crepe with limoncello was divine. I wish we didn't live 1200 miles away. read more

From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect! Cozy but spacious restaurant. Our server, Mitzi, was at the top of her game and KNEW the food and wine menu and could speak confidently about both. The cuisine was OUTSTANDING!

Fine dining w great service. This gem on Canyon serves excellent, well thought out and executed food. I always evaluate the restaurant based on the category, in this case fine dining. Cocktails are pricey at $25 but also really delicious. Some cocktails have cute names and odd ingredients and an odd taste to match - not Geronimo. We sat at the bar and our service was prompt. I have sat at bars as a lone diner at similar restaurants and felt I needed to have a medical emergency to get attention or pay. Not here. The bar staff were quick, professional and gave great recommendations. We had the mushroom special appetizer in a lemon butter. Yum. Sea bass on a bed of grains w bok choy was perfectly seared, well cooked, flakey and not dry. Wonderful accompanying sauce. For dessert, pistachio cheesecake and Meyer lemon crepe - Meyer lemon curd w heavy whipped cream on light crepe w crispy edges. Beautiful to behold and even better to eat!

I took a trip to New Mexico and in my foodie research I stumbled on Geronimo which offers a tasting menu that allows you to select your choices or a pre fixe vegetarian friendly option. The vegetarian choices are also available to purchase a la carte. They asked not to take pictures inside the restaurant but my choices below. The provide you with a complimentary cocktail upon seating, I wasn't drinking so the bartender made me a mocktail version. It was tasty. They also provide you with a bread tray with different varieties and house made butter. Now for dinner. I selected the following: 1st - lobster bisque, big chunks of lobster and soup was velvety. 5/5 2nd- miso sea bass ramen, the filet was delicious, loved the flavors, ramen was ok. 4/5 3rd- German chocolate cake, very rich, and the whole plate was edible.

Wanted to see this restaurant in person because the interior looks online. Asked if they had space at the bar for our party and was told in the most condescending way that the bar was by reservation only. Ok.

A Santa Fe Treasure--Consistently Exceptional This review is long overdue and still won't fully capture the magic that is Geronimo. It's a true gem--one of the best restaurants in the country, tucked into the heart of Santa Fe. I've been lucky enough to dine here dozens of times over the years, and every single experience has been outstanding. From the warm welcome at the door to the attentive (but never overbearing) service, Geronimo nails the details. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, full but never crowded, and perfect for a memorable evening. On my most recent visit, we started with a special tomato and burrata appetizer--fresh, vibrant, and delicious--and the best beef tartare I've ever had. For entrées, our table ordered the signature elk (a must-try), the sweet and spicy prawns, and the short ribs, which were tender and rich. We ended with the apple dessert (almost too beautiful to eat) and the crepe, which was the table favorite. Even the coffee service impressed, arriving with warm scones that were the perfect finishing touch. Geronimo was the highlight of our girls' weekend and never fails to deliver. If you're in Santa Fe, this spot should be at the top of your list. read more

I was visiting Santa Fe from LA and asked my Airbnb host about restaurant recommendations. He suggested this place for fine dining. So on my last night I decided to check it out. Made a reservation for 445 pm for counter seating. I'd have preferred a table but guess since I was a solo diner it had to be the counter. I was worried about parking but they had free valet parking which was nice. I got there before the valet was open so just parked and waited until he got there to give my keys. He walked me into the restaurant which I thought was very nice. When I walked in I was greeted by the host and she took my coat to store it. Then walked me to the bar. Seats were actually pretty spacious. No one was next to me but had there been there was space not to feel crowded. I ordered the canyon road sunset from the cocktail and it was very good. Then I had the risotto. Some of the best I've had. I wanted to lick my plate but didn't want to appear uncouth so I refrained. I was also brought out an amuse bouche that was mushroom sherry soup and it was tasty as well. For my entree I had the lamb. It was cooked perfectly. I wanted full so didn't order dessert but I was brought out a complimentary scoop or sorbet. Overall I had a great meal and would return. Once I left the valet brought me my car. It was already warm. Even the seat warmers were on. Great service and great food. Not inexpensive but worth it. read more
