What an amazing place. Up a dirt road with only small signs. Nestled in a beautiful setting. Beautiful interior. Limited seating as chef Graham cooks everything, limited prix fixe menu posted on Tuesday for the weekend. Awesome meal. Each course was excellent. A small but interesting wine list. Service professional but friendly. LOVED IT!!! Will be back. read more

Dunno: bc it's so darn difficult to get anyone even on the phone to make a reservation. Even tho they say go to the website to do so, but when one does, one can't bc you should do so only when they are open. I can only surmise that they are overwhelmed since news got out the chef and owner received a James Beard nomination but daaaang, doubt I'll be able to experience it myself. Luckily we found another establishment in the area that serves up their dishes right proper and for a fraction of the cost and easily accessible. Best wishes To respond to Graham: Thx for replying, Graham. I called and left a message Friday morning for a spot either Friday night or Saturday for lunch, left my phone number on the voicemail. I'll try again for arrangements in April and see what's available then read more

Chef Graham & NOSA should be featured on Chefs Table; should have a James Beard nomination at least, should be lauded by Michelin. The intimate restaurant has farm to table prefix meals which are beautifully orchestrated, wildly satisfying, & expertly paired with lovely wines at a very reasonable price. service is warm & friendly. sunset views are gorgeous. Chef was lovely & we were fortunate to meet family that evening as well who were sparkling conventionalists. Well worth the trip, or, absolutely recommend instead of the resort dining options. read more

Nosa is a total gem of a restaurant, we recently traveled to the area and Nosa was on my list of places to try. Everything about the experience was top notch and magical.

I will be back as often as I can make it and definitely want to try Nosa in every season! read more

What a hidden gem! A friend and I were staying at Ojo Caliente and wanted to try someplace different and came across Nosa. It's a bit tucked away, but the property the restaurant is on is gorgeous with an amazing sunset view. The interior of the restaurant is nicely appointed with some interesting artwork for sale. The menu is prefix and each dish was amazingly delicious! I actually subbed my soup as I didn't like lamb. A quick email to Chef Dodd and he was very accommodating . Our prefix - minus my soup swap, everything was amazing! I didn't go for the wine pairing, but I did opt to try the rhubarb non-alcoholic drink which was refreshing: british cheeses stinking bishop, wyfe of bath, witheridge hay apricots, heather honeycomb + oat cakes (lavender wines of the san juan) vagabond farmers' baby carrots harissa, maple, pistachios + almond crema (le petit cochon bronze rose) hotch potch soup lamb broth, fava beans, fennel + mini cabbage (château de bouillerot "fruit d'automne" roasted sea bass sprouting cauliflower, creamed chard + celery leaf pistou (herve villemade cheverny blanc) peach melba "rich lady" peaches, raspberry + la lecheria's turmeric-black pepper ice cream (evolúció late harvest) read more

Lunch at NOSA was amazing from start to finish. Our server, William, was the nicest, friendliest waiters we have ever experienced. Our fixed-price, five-course lunch was exquisite, fresh and beautifully prepared. Lunch started with farm-to-table purple sweet potato fries with two sauces, continued with perfectly seasoned Texas chile with corn bread, followed by a spicy spinach salad with pears, grapes and radishes. The main dish was a tender and moist Wagyu brisket with bbq'd white beans and vinegary coleslaw. The amazing lunch was capped with a creative acorn squash cobbler with red chili-piñon ice cream. It's incredible that this gourmet restaurant is tucked away off Highway 285 in a little valley north of Española. An unforgettable culinary experience. read more

Nosa is a gem! An excellent choice for our honeymoon and just a short drive from ABQ. The Black Mesa suite was perfectly appointed, comfortable, and quiet. Dinner by Chef Graham was exceptional and the portions very generous. The service was equally excellent. Then there he was again offering a perfect breakfast the next morning. He clearly enjoys engaging with his diners! We couldn't ask for a better experience and we'll be back again. read more

Without exaggeration, one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed, in a splendid setting watching the sun set over the Tusas mountains. Great room, impeccable service, and very-well considered wine pairings. Next time we dine here I'll be sure to book a room at the inn so we don' t have to drive home afterwards! read more

Outstanding place for a special occasion meal. Chef Graham Dodds takes farm fresh ingredients and weaves them into magical dishes that are far greater than the sum of their parts. This is food as art. He has a delicate and nuanced palate that give his dishes a perfect harmony, both with each other in the overall menu and within the single recipe. No one flavor dominates, yet they all work perfectly together like a symphony. One of the best meals in memory. Highly recommended. read more

Chef Graham"s food is simply fantastic. If you like locally sourced food, this is a good choice and you never know what you are going to get because it changes often. For us, we like vibe and the changing menu making it kind of an event We have not stayed here but we might soon. Ha. Anyway, a big thumbs up from me on this one. read more

We had an amazing anniversary getaway at NOSA for two nights. It was so peaceful and the surroundings are breathtaking. Chef's five course dinner with pairings was among one of the best culinary experiences we have had, even living in Santa Fe! The five course lunch on Sunday was a super creative menu and perfect portions. Chef then delivered us breakfast to our room on Monday before our departure. The attention to detail throughout the accommodations and the culinary experience were top-notch! Well done Chef Graham! Congrats on your accomplishments and inevitable continued success! read more

We had lunch at NOSA a few Sundays ago with a large group and everything was amazing! The food was delicious and service was top notch which is difficult to do with a large group. Chef Graham gets everything right down to the minute details. We did the wine pairing with our lunch which was delightful.The highlight of the meal was the braised short rib, it melted in my mouth. Will definitely return. read more

Chef Graham is a food wizard. This prix fixe meal was basically perfect. Each element of each dish and the courses together were perfectly paired. The wine was masterfully paired as well. The service was spectacular. Overall, just go to NOSA. You won't regret it. read more

Nosa is our favorite Santa Fe dining experience. From the incredibly beautiful location, peaceful guest rooms and delicious food we've never had a visit to Nosa that wasn't memorable. When making recommendations to out of town guests we always put Nosa at the top of the list. Graham has a gift for perfectly balancing farm fresh ingredients and the ever changing menu is always tasty and surprising in the best ways. The staff is also knowledgable, welcoming and relaxed. Can't recommend highly enough, Nosa is not to be missed! read more

Beautiful inn, comfortable and charming. Food and dining room impeccable, lovely option in an enchanting an remote location.

Did you know Santa Fe has a Michelin 2-star class restaurant in Ojo Caliente? (If you assumed the Spa, you are incorrect!) Chef Graham Dodds has opened an elegant, serene space, served by a sublime kitchen that would be expected in San Francisco or New York, but a delightful surprise here. It's called NOSA. His menus are reliably thoughtful, inventive, and perfectly executed. Between courses you can enjoy the elevated views from the dining room to the surrounding mountains and valley. Dodds also offers 4 comfortable, sparsely elegant rooms for overnights, or longer, for the few lucky few that manage to snag one. https://www.nosanm.com/ read more

Memorable in every way. This was the best meal I've had since the last time I enjoyed Chef Graham's food. The locale, waitstaff, and of course the food were exceptional. Dinner was elegant but casual...relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. Santa Fe has a wonderful food scene, and NOSA may be the very best it has has to offer. I look forward to my next visit and making new memories. read more

NOSA Restaurant And Inn - Menu with farm fresh, locally sourced dished - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ojo Caliente, New Mexico

This is one of the best kept secrets in New Mexico. A sophisticated fine-dining restaurant in a rural (read: quiet, scenic, hidden) setting near Ojo Caliente; world-class 5-course dinner served on weekends only. We doubled our pleasure by overnighting at the NOSA Inn, where a warm wood-burning fire awaited after dinner, in lieu of a drive home. Treat yourself! I could not recommend more highly. read more

Nosa is one of those truly magical finds, the kind of secret out of the way place that's a joy to share with the special people in your life. Aside from the fact that the location is bonkers - tucked away in the beautiful hills of Ojo Caliente - the space is so cozy and delightful, the service is impeccable and the food is truly some of the best in Santa Fe (the country?). I've traveled the world and it's right up there with one of the most special places I've ever been. read more

We went to NOSA for lunch service. First, the restaurant had some staffing issues so they were short handed, which I understand. That being said, I expect more in the way of service when I am paying so much for a nice meal out. The setting was beautiful. The food was good. The lady serving us was the only server that day because of the aforementioned staffing issues. She was personable and I could tell that she was working hard. However, I had to ask after an hour of service for my water glass to be refilled. And then it was filled one more time after another hour. We were instructed to arrive at 11:30 am and not to be late because it is a tasting menu and they needed to start on time. Well...the first course did not come out until 12 pm so we had plenty of time to wait. If you are not drinking wine or beer then the beverage menu is almost non-existent. They had an N/A beer, an N/A spritzer (which they did not have in stock because they "ran out the night before"), and coffee/tea. We ordered tea. For a nice restaurant, the beverage service leaves a lot to be desired. Our $5 per person tea service was a selection of a mish-mash of different brands and types of tea (no herbal choices) that came out in a coffee cup for us to pick out of. While the food was good and the staff and chef were friendly, the experience was ruined for me because of the late start, the poor waitstaff service, and the lackluster beverage service. read more

Going to Santa Fe? Be sure to take the drive out to Nosa--you can thank me later... The inn is quiet and peaceful, nicely appointed, and the lovely rooms each have a kiva fireplace with ample wood (and easy fire starters) to create a cozy, warm atmosphere. The restaurant (and chef Graham Dodds) are the real draw here. We have followed Chef Dodds, and his creative culinary talents for years--throughout Dallas, where he was a first in the farm to table movement, and now to New Mexico where his creations continue to amaze. We enjoyed the prix-fixe menu on a cold Saturday night in December. Standouts: lamb riblets in a sherry-brown sugar glaze. We tried to politely use our knife and fork but couldn't help ourselves--these were so good we had to pick them up to make sure we got all of the "finger licking" greatness! Still dreaming about the miso and matsutake mushrooms paired with the pan roasted branzino, and the pumpkin risotto. This was the most memorable meal we've had since...well, since the last Graham Dodds dinner we enjoyed. Make your reservations NOW! read more

Nosa is a unique.experience. We were there in mid-March and are already planning our next outing in May. The restaurant only offers a prix-fixe menu. And you need to reserve ahead of time. It is a five course feast. This is not a restaurant to go if you are in a rush or can't relinquish control. Here, you place yourself in the hands of the talented chef. It is a about trust and letting it go. Relaxing and enjoying the chefs talent. And the outstanding dishes. I enjoyed every morsel. But to me the highlights were the incredible soup. It relied on turnips and quince to produce delicate and complex layers of flavors. It had breakfast turnips whole as well as creamed. The others ingredients flavored and added texture, creating an impressive dish. The salad had lightly wilted red chard with nuts, cheese and tomatoes with an incredible dressing. I am not the best at writing descriptions, but trust me: It was out of this world. The fish was beautifully flaky, sweet and tender. And then came the dessert. A rubbarb crisp paired witb a basil ice cream. It was a surprisingly effective combination. They also offer a wine pairing. For the light drinkers like me, they have a half pairing with half portion of the five wines. They were great choices that really complemented the dishes. This is a jewel in northern New Mexico. If you are in the neighborhood, do not miss it. read more

I had the pleasure of spending a few nights at NOSA and easily had one of the most incredible meals I've had in recent years while here. Amazing farm-to-table meal with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and all evidently prepared with so much care and love. From the perfectly done kale caesar salad to the sautéed trumpet mushrooms and flavorful roasted squash, it was all a culinary delight. And the dining room is lovely... decorated with local art and overlooking the valley below. What a gem NOSA is... a northern NM treasure you will he so happy you tried! read more
