I've been hearing about Joseph's for some time, and on my most recent visit to Santa Fe finally visited for dinner. It was the meal of the trip. The restaurant itself has a charming neighborhoody feel with several rooms, wood beams, local art, and adequate spacing between tables (one of my pet peeves is the lack of privacy caused by tables too close together.) The food. Oh my. Food should not bring me this much pleasure... It's an award winner, so call ahead.

We went on a Thursday night and it was busy. Made reservations and I recommend making them. We'll be back next time we're in Santa Fe. A quaint little restaurant that you need to visit. It was the perfect ending to our vacation.

I started with what I thought was going to be a plain Caesar salad, but when it arrived, it was served like a sushi or lettuce wrap. It was very creative and tasty! It made it much more fun to eat than the average salad. It was rich and topped with anchovies, like a true Caesar salad. I then had the peppercorn Elk tenderloin. I asked it be served as the chef recommended, which is medium rare. I am sometimes wary of medium rare, but this tenderloin was DIVINE! It was so moist and bursting with flavor. I loved it. The cocktails were creative and just as enjoyable as the meal. Other options for dinner apps include: cornbread, ahi crudo, mussels, and bison carpaccio. Mains: scallops, pan roasted Branzino, toasted masa gnocchi, grilled Maine lobster tails, duck leg confit, and a pecan coffee rubbed prime flat iron. I'm sure all of them would be amazing. Reservations recommended. Please note that the rooftop bar does not take reservations and is not on the same system as the restaurant. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

My husband ordered the Guajillo Braised Boneless Short Ribs, which were cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. In my case, the scallops were slightly overcooked and a bit tough, and the corn purée was a little too spicy for my personal taste. The fry bread and the Picuris salad were excellent and truly memorable. The restaurant is located inside the beautiful Hotel Santa Fe and offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with a wood-burning fireplace and a very friendly staff. The décor is artistic and thoughtfully curated, honoring Native American culture, which I deeply appreciated and which gives the space a unique and special identity. Happy New Year!

Also make sure to check the bill and if anything seems off, ask there! Thankfully the restaurant was able to explain the bill after we had left where there were errors (we were charged the $75 teepee fee plus a 20% service charge that included the teepee, drinks, and food). Overall though the food was good. We had a newer waiter that was unfamiliar with the process so that was aggravating but overall the food was delicious. We did the set $90 price fix menu. The quail was the best part. My fiancé was upset because his entree was cold but at least the other three of us had warm food. I do recommend if you want this experience to go just make sure to double check some items !

SF Street is literally just a few steps away from the jammed restaurants, but still right on the Plaza. High ceilings, booths, skylights, windows, hardwood floors -- it's a delightful place. The food is the chef-created, literally identical to its beloved predecessor Santa Fe Bar & Grill. The servers are personally invested in the success of the restaurant. The food is consistently excellent across the menu, not just a few hits. It's not exotic fusion cuisine -- more like ideal versions of local favorites.

Since it's was a fine day , the patio tables were more popular. We chose inside because we could be seated sooner and enjoy air conditioning . Cute diner decor overall. We got an order of the sopadillas ( pastry filled with choice of meat ) . There was so much white chicken meat in the sopadilla which came with rice and beans too. We also tried the Fritos pie . It was essentially a Fritos "haystack "with your choice of protein. We shared a blue corn and pine nut pancake as an appetizer. It was a bit more dense than a regular pancake but still tasty .

She greeted us warmly, took great care of us, and gave us some excellent recommendations. We had agreed beforehand that we would only order appetizers because we didn't want to leave feeling overly full. In the end, we shared several dishes. The beef tartare was absolutely delicious and definitely the highlight of the meal. The Hamachi Tiradito wasn't really our favorite, but that's just a matter of personal taste. We also enjoyed the Spring Wedge,Garlic shrimp, and Chicken Liver Mousse. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and perfect for sharing. The Flan for dessert was fantastic and a great way to finish our dinner. What made the experience special was the combination of delicious food and genuinely attentive service. Thank you, Sandry, for taking such good care of us. We look forward to coming back the next time we're in Santa Fe.

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.
