Geronimo - Mesquite Grilled Maine Lobster Tails - French Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

My dinner was wonderful. I had the Elk tenderloin, that was really tender and so flavorful. Split a great risotto, which was done to perfection. My wife had the halibut, which was also delicious. Dessert was an amazing creation that looked just like a whole apple, but filled with roasted cinnamon apple and white chocolate mousse among other tasty things. It even had a chocolate stem.....yum!!!! Service was impeccable . Huge shout out to Shaun for making our evening so special!! The place has a great vibe and I wouldn't miss it if visiting Santa Fe!!!! Great job !!! read more

Service was over the top, the food was even better. I felt right at home with the overall theme and style of restaurant. I had the Elk, it was amazing!!! read more

The last time I was here was before the pandemic, it is still one of the best places. Went for my birthday, it was fabulous. Everyone is so kind and chill, Loren, the valet, such a nice personable guy, our waitress, Michelle, absolutely fab, she took the time to describe the menu and drinks (being allergic to gluten I really appreciated that), and the owner Chris, such a down to earth, great guy, hadn't seen him in years but stopped at our table to say hello. All of this plus amazingly divine food and drinks, that makes Geronimo's my favorite! Cheers to more great times. read more

Fine dining at its finest. I was in Santa Fe (for my first time) just one evening. A NYC/NJ friend who really cares about food said it's one of his favorite restaurants in America. They have only 6 seats at the bar but found me a table. Brian, the Maitre D, is the best. My server incredible. He gave me recommendations as I wasn't that hungry and also on a somewhat restrictive eating plan. Next time I will eat more decadently but the salmon tartare hands down the best of its kind with three dipping sauces and plating so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it. The Wheeler martini a thing of beauty. Just breathtaking glass. Everything about this place is perfect. A lot of people there for anniversaries and special occasions. The music is soft and sexy (Pink Martini). You can actually hear your dining companions, a rarity these days. (Atlantic Mag or something like it had a long piece on the noise level in restaurants now vs 20 years ago.) Equestrian art by the most famous artists in the field. Kiki Martinez and others. The meals are complex. Specials take a few minutes to explain. There's a reason this place has been around over three decades. When I got back to Santa Barbara, I told a woman I see in the locker room every day (but whose name I don't know) that I went to Geronimo. It's her and her husband's favorite restaurant. They go whenever in Santa Fe. It reminds me of Gotham Bar and Grill (RIP) in the Village. Next level dining. read more

First time at Geronimo and I've got to say I can't say enough great things about the food! We ordered the-Grilled Mexican white Prawns, Grilled Maine Lobster Tails with angel hair pasta, Miso Sea Bass, and Tellicherry Elk Tenderloin for dinner. The Elk was extremely soft and tender. Everything was cooked to perfection. I will say I found the Seabass to be the least exciting dish and a tiny bit bland but it was still good. Service was good but nothing to rave about. We ordered their apple dish for dessert which was also good but can't say I would order it again if I went back. Ambiance is classy and cozy, has that Santa Fe vibe. Definitely on the smaller side with difficult parking as we had to valet. Overall I would recommend it! read more

We were welcomed with NM champagne and a enjoyed very personal service. The restaurant is beautiful and quite serene. The food definitely matched the amazing service. read more

I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone anytime. If visiting Santa Fe this is the must go to restaurant. I can wait to go back! read more

Marjan and I traveled to Santa Fe recently, and as is our wont, we perused several reviews to find the most highly recommended restaurants. For our evening dinners, we selected Geronimo, Sazon, Coyote Cafe and Luminaria. Reviews for each will follow, but here is our impression of Geronimo. This restaurant was at the top of every review, and we visited the first evening of our vacay. This 200 year old (?) structure was repurposed to house the restaurant, and the look is very much as one would expect of an 1800 homestead: single story, roofed open air porch stretching along the front of the restaurant. Subtle lighting set a very serene mood, A member of the support staff immediately greeted us, escorted us to the hostess, who directed us to our table on the veranda...Marjan strongly preferring outdoor seating, weather and facilities permitting...and we were met by our waitress, Michelle. I mention this initial episode, as an introduction to the prompt, very attentive, very polished and very professional staff. And the staff outfitted in black trousers/dress with white shirt and tie. We thought this was going to be a very elegant experience. The tables were dressed with crisp white tablecloths, formal setting of cutlery, glasses and wine glasses. We began our evening with a pair of dirty martinis, Stoli based. Excellent. We shared the Wagyu beef carpaccio, the thinly sliced offering thinly covered with a mild horseradish sauce, garnished with arugula. Excellent. Our waitress suggested the "off menu" gnocchi, an appetizer we highly recommend if offered on your visit. Marjan selected the green miso sea bass, the fish itself well prepared. Marjan thought the ramen noodle bed not a perfect complement, but enjoying the lobster miso and rouille. My choice: the Elk tenderloin. Rubbed with peppercorns the tenderloin was perfectly cooked to our preference...more rare than medium. Tender, melt in the mouth morsels, absent any overpowering gamey taste. Mashed potatoes and sugar snaps sided the dish. We considered this entree just outstanding. Finishing the evening: expresso. Reflecting on our dining experiences in Santa Fe, we considered Geronimo one of the best dining experiences we enjoyed. Marjan rated this restaurant 5 boots, and feels this restaurant tied with Luminaria for top of the list. Overall, we highly recommend Geronimo. Enjoy yelpers!!! read more

Geronimo - Marjan's rating for Geronimo...5 origami boots! - French Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

One of the best meals we've had in quite some time. Excellent food and service by Mitzy. Complimentary champagne to start. Mitzy was knowledgeable and very helpful. Husband had wasabi Caesar and seafood risotto for entree. I had sashimi and tuna tartare with delectable sauces with caviar. And I don't even care for caviar but it was mild and fabulous. I had tenderloin with tiny crisp vegetables cous cous. Desserts were fabulous too. Amazing that the standards are this high after 31 years. Pricey but if you enjoy outstanding cuisine go here. Totally worth it read more

My husband and I have dined at Geronimo's many times over the past 25 years. It used to be exquisite. It is not any longer. If you make reservations on a Friday or Saturday evening, you have a better chance of getting well-prepared food in accord with your order, e.g., elk tenderloin that is brought to your table medium-rare as opposed to EXTREMELY well done (twice in one evening), margaritas made with fresh-squeezed lime juice rather than simple syrup, foie gras that is warm rather than cold. I do not recommend going on a Sunday night. Apparently they have only line cooks in the kitchen who do not know what they are doing. We went twice during the month of August, 2021. Both evenings we were sadly disappointed. We will not be going back. There are too many other truly wonderful restaurants in Santa Fe that deserve our patronage. read more

I'd rate Geronimo at the top of the heap. Absolutely. I opined to my dinner mates that this may be the best dinner I've ever had, and then when I looked them up later I saw they've been ranked in the top ten nationally, so that made sense. We were seated promptly at our appointed time, never a sure thing any more when, at some establishments, you can wait 15 minutes or more past the reservation time to be seated. The first thing I became aware of was that we had a very sharp dinner host. Grant is at the top of the service game and probably the best I've ever experienced. He's good. Really good. You know how some hosts keep interrupting you at the worst times, while some have a natural instinct to be there at the right time? That's Grant. And that is the mark of a fine establishment. You cannot have a top dining establishment otherwise. Do yourself a favor and ask for Grant. We had the shrimp and rice cakes, the Elk, and the Maine lobster tails, and all were great. Geronimo food and drink have a kit of great flavors, everything was delicious and at the same time not overdone. Very elegant presentation with sophisticated flavors yet somewhat basic, or should I say straightforward, at the same time. We were all very satisfied and pleased with everything we ate. My jumbo shrimp were paired with rice cakes. I'm a Texas Gulf Coast former shrimper and I know my seafood, and the shrimp was not overcooked they way they usually are this far from the coast. A very satisfying dish. One of the highlights of the evening for me was the Manhattan Cocktail I ordered at the top of the meal. This is NO DOUBT the best cocktail I've ever consumed. There were so many enjoyable flavors to this drink. It is a great bourbon with basil-infused bitters, a sprig of rosemary, and a few sweet cherries. It was a delicious and I nursed snd enjoyed it for the rest of the meal. It was a premiere sipping cocktail with just amazing flavors. You get to the list of Top Restaurants in America by serving drinks like this, among other things. We loved our desserts, I had the lemon crepe, a crepe stuffed with lemon creme and served with a limoncello. Also utterly remarkable was the space we had; unlike SO MANY top establishments the tables are spaced well enough apart that you aren't virtually sitting in your neighbors' laps. I was more than impressed, I was thrilled with my meal and experience. the food was outstanding but the meal was brought together by having Grant as our host and also the amazing cocktail. You may never have a chance to experience a better meal than Geronimo in Santa Fe, NM. read more

Geronimo was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the ambiance was great.

Another five star dining experience here at Geronimo!! Chris and I spent a portion of the day shopping on Canyon road with no firm dinner plans. We were both wearing shorts and T-shirts since we had visited the botanical gardens, museum hill, hiking and Canyon road. As a result we were slightly sweaty and not exactly pretty looking. We walked to Geronimo and inquired if it would be ok for us to dine in our current state of dress. They graciously seated us on the patio which was primarily open at 530pm today, Monday. The patio is beautiful with spacious tables and flowers. It's covered and the sun is not an issue and there is a consistent breeze. Parking is available at the valet station or self park inexpensively across the street at the public lot. Our server Reggie and the hospitality manager Kristin were awesome and made the entire meal a treat. Service from arrival until departure was top notch!! Chris and I ordered the four course Vegetarian Tasting with the wine pairing priced at $95 per person. Each course was unique and portion size was perfect! I am not a big eater and I was able to eat all courses plus the complimentary bread and lavash. The wine pairings were the perfect companion to each course! This restaurant is in my top five world wide. It sets the bar for fine dining. We highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

Absolutely decadent. We've been wanting to try this established, iconic restaurant for a few years now and made the reservation three months prior and finally experienced this culinary delight. Valet parking was convenient and the minute we walked in our party of four was greeted with vip importance (celebrating two birthdays) with our coats being checked and the welcoming greeting. The interior design is Santa Fe chic, stunningly beautiful with modern art flare. Cozy adobe fireplaces sit symmetrically in the main room and the white table cloth and napkins are classy touches, adding to the fine dinning atmosphere. Our server was sensational and provided some welcoming champagne. He was jovial, quick witted and was fantastic at guiding through the menu. My husband is very familiar with wine, and we were able to order a middle of line, delicious red from Napa. We all shared the bottle and it was delightful. The appetizers I'm honestly am still thinking about. My husband and I have been fortunate to have experienced both James Beard and Michelin star restaurants and Geronimo fits in both categories. I ordered the mushroom bisque and it was exceptionally sensational...creamy, decadent and delicious. My husband and friend ordered the crab cakes and they were perfect in flavor and texture. The main entrees, two elk tenderloins and two fiery sweet chile honey grilled Mexican white prawn dishes, with every bite completely decadent. Last, we savored two desserts the poached organic pear panna cotta and French Meyer lemon crepe. Both sensational, and creative with rich flavors that popped. Especially, the toasted "honeycomb" on top of the panna cotta. Also, the rosemary ice cream I would love again. This restaurant is incredible, particularly for special occasions. read more

Excellent service. Everyone was very nice and made you feel welcome. The food was good and a very good wine list.

EXCELLENT RESTAURANT This place was fully booked and we were fortunate to get a table for 5 at the last minute. We dined outside and it was delightful. This is a highly rated restaurant and we were eager to try a variety of dishes. I started with the Wasabi Caesar Salad. The organic Romaine spears were perfect and fresh and were served with crispy rice cubes, shaved Reggiano and a Wasabi-infused Caesar dressing. Delicious, although the Wasabi was decidedly weak and barely noticeable. For my entree, I went with their house favorite Green Miso Sea Bass. It was served with slivers of Bok Choy and a few Ramen noodles.The Sea Bass was cooked perfectly. The others had the Red Premium Crab Cakes, Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Sashimi & Tartare, Wild Mushroom & Sherry Bisque, and the Mesquite Grilled Maine Lobster tails. Everyone raved about their meals. And the desserts? To die for! This is a special place. Location: 5 stars Food: 5 stars Service: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Value: 4 stars. read more

I love great food, and I love great restaurants. Although, I have dined at Michelin starred temples of fine dining around the world, I spurn restaurants with attitude. Elegant does not automatically translate into snobbishness, laced with pretense. My incredible dining experiences involve meals at the fanciest of restaurants, where servers, kitchens, managers invite you to enjoy, rather than show off. Entering Geronimo in Santa Fe, you are immediately hit with a tsunami of tude and pretense. I felt like bolting, but we were here because my buddy's wife likes "fancy," rather than great food, so I went along for what I thought would be an arrogant culinary ride. Was I wrong. I very hesitantly interacted with our server Russell who, like great servers throughout the world, read me well, His affect changed, according to my needs, and his formality dropped down several notches. We were laughing and joking throughout the meal. Most of the patrons at Geronimo may be offended by this casual approach, and Russell would need to maintain his formal distance. Yet, that was not what we wanted. Thus, he served us with individuality. Bravo! Everything at Geronimo was simply wonderful. My margaritas were superbly crafted. The red and white wines met our individual palates, and the kitchen produced sublime food. My soft shell crab BLT was a simply amazing example of the art of culinary deconstruction. The lobster tail entree had a slight Southwestern piquant flavor, but the White Shrimp with New Mexican chills was Southwestern caliente delicious. Desserts were equally applaudable. Under Russell's direction, Geronimo was clearly one of Santa Fe's best two restaurants, competing with Sazon. While eating at The Compound Restaurant's bar could become my local, for a special experience in Santa Fe, possibly nothing can compete with Geronimo. Well, maybe Sazon. Try all three. You can't go wrong. read more

Bruh! I was told this was the best in Santa Fe and this place did not disappoint. They were the only ones disappointed when asked for a little shake of salt on the fish (they only have one salt grinder for the restaurant). Crab cakes were very good, sea bass was awesome, and elk was exceptional; all uniquely presented. Service was spectacular from the starting toast, wine pairing help, and a pace of the meal that met hunger levels! Great value to considering quality of food and level of service. Nice quiet restaurant with upscale atmosphere!! read more

Geronimo continues to hit all of the high notes that we seek in a fine-dining experience: excellent service, great cocktails, fabulous wine list, expertly prepared dishes, and a warm/inviting dining room. We were warmly greeted upon entering the restaurant and deftly cared for by the staff throughout the entire evening. Upon seating, we were treated to complimentary glasses of Gruet sparkling wine. We then, then enjoyed a couple of superb cocktails including the Senior Lopez, Geronimo's version of an Old Fashioned. The Wagyu Beef Carpaccio and Bitter Greens and Smoked Duck Salad starters were outstanding. The New Mexico Four Corners Rack of Lamb was cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. We ended our meal with the Flourless German Chocolate Cake, which was delightful. Our evening at Geronimo confirmed that it remains the best fine-dining restaurant in Santa Fe! read more

After this awful year, escaping to Santa Fe with friends was JUST what we needed. We had THE most WONDERFUL dining experience tonight at Geronimo !!! Everything- EVERYTHING was top notch and beyond incredible. Our server, Joseph, was exceptional in every way. Helpful, beyond friendly, with a great sense of humor, and he knew that menu inside and out. I had the scallops ... garlic mashed potatoes, pear salad and ended up in the most spectacular food coma ever. Every bite was Heaven... I mean everyone at our table was experiencing a complete and total state of bliss. What a treat to experience such incredible service and food after a year of such difficulty and restrictions. Geronimo did everything possible to create a safe dining experience and everyone on their staff went out of their way to be very friendly. Trust me on this .., treat yourself !!!! read more

Me and my two fellow foodie friends were in Santa Fe for a girls weekend. We wanted to treat ourselves to a nice dinner and after checking out the menu at Geronimo, we knew that would be the place. We made reservations months in advance and when we arrived we were escorted to a lovely table. The ambiance of this place is stellar with the low lighting and fancy linens and flatware. Our server, Joseph, was incredible! He greeted us with glasses of sparkling wine from nearby Gruet. Nice touch!! He explained the menu to us, told us about the "off-the-menu" special, and answered any questions we had. He was the epitome of warmth and professionalism, and we thoroughly enjoyed his service. The food. Wow, the food!! I ordered the mushroom bisque and the elk tenderloin. AH-MAZ-ING!!!!! The bisque was rich and earthy. The tenderloin had a crispy crust and was perfectly cooked!!! My friends ordered: risotto and green miso sea bass / tuna appetizer and short ribs. (Full descriptions of the dishes attached to photos!) We all tasted each other's plates and agreed that everything was tasty! My friend ordered "Apple" for dessert, which was as much a piece of art as it was a delicious last course! If you want a delicious, satisfying, upscale experience with impeccable service, then Geronimo is the dinner spot for you. And if you can finagle a table in Joseph's section, you'll be really lucky diners! read more
