After an all day jaunt through the land of enchantment, we found ourselves indeed thoroughly enchanted but in desperate need of nourishment. Came through a little over an hour before closing. Despite the lateness of the day, our server Lidia was still upbeat and kind, and seated us promptly. I was torn between the steak and the sea bass, and Lidia recommend the sea bass. It was amazing!! The bed of risotto, fantastic! Asparagus! Crisp, delicious, and not at all bitter! And the sea bass was so so so divine! Tender and flaky. Just absolute perfection. My friends pork chop was also amazing. As was the passion fruit margarita! Not too sweet, but definitely hitting the spot. I read more

Was staying at the hotel for work. Ate there 3 times. Way over priced. Food is tasteless. 2 of the times the service was slow and the servers were complaining about not making enough in tips. Definitely not the high end restaurant they want to be. $50 dollar steak eats like a $16 steak. read more

Came in on a Friday night to get drinks and a bite to eat. Service & food was fair. Nothing spectacular. Had the calamari and the margarita pizza. read more

Crab Cakes were the size of three bites and the price of at least a pound of crab, hard to see the crab in them, didn't taste crab. Called "lump crab cakes". read more

The food was on par with Denny's. The pork chop was hard as a rock and over seasoned. The "New York strip" was something you'd send back even at Denny's. We did send it back, but it came back out just as bad. Just a cheap thin cut, and over done. The waitress and manager were nice enough and gave us some desserts and took the steak off the bill. No complaints on service, but the food needs serious work. read more

Deceptive money grabbing methods are the theme of this place. Came in twice during my stay. The first time we ordered the whipped ricotta. It was to come with carrots, but they were out. Asked for bread and we got 4 oversized croutons. That allowed us to consume about 1/4 of the plate. Asked for more bread and was told they were about out, but he would see what he could do. Came back with 4 more oversized croutons and charged us extra for them. Came in a second time for dinner. Asked for a big red wine. Was leading towards the cab, but the waiter suggested the Pino, so I tried it. Mistake. Though it was bigger than most Pinos, I wasn't happy with it and asked for the cab. Got charged for both. Okay, I drank both, so I'm not going to complain too much about the wine. However, I ordered the ribeye and was asked what 2 sides I wanted. Got the mushrooms and asparagus. The steak was good, but not great. The kitchen cooked it to perfection, just needed a better cut of meat. The sides were good. Got the check and was billed $20 for the two sides. I asked the waiter what was up with that and he told me he asked if I wanted sides, but never said two were included. I guess I made that up. The service was reasonably fast and both servers we had were very friendly. The problem I see is they are being driven by the mother ship to capture as much cash as they can as a short term money grab. Problem is it will destroy long term success. I don't plan on coming back to SantaFe anytime soon, but if I did, this is the last place I would choose for a meal. read more

*visiting from Houston* This restaurant is located inside the hotel. It is an upscale eatery. There's outside seating available but if you have to get your own drinks and your drinks will come in a plastic cup (glass breaks, people are barefooted, kids are around). I decided to sit at the bar. There was only one bartender but he was good and quick. Service was good! Can't complain! I ordered the Blue Thunder but it was yummy and refreshing; I would recommend that if you're wanting something light. I got the Chef's Pasta of the Day-from the looks of it, it looks bland but the TASTE was very very good. I was surprised but I was expecting it to be bland and not flavorful. For dessert, I got the Bourbon Bread Pudding! I was pleased to know that it didn't have raisins! A WINNER!!! I wish it was a little more moist but overall a good taste and consistency. read more

My husband who is 78 and I'm 70 went to eat and we decided order a drink before, because my husband's ID was expired they would not service us alcohol. I know they use your ID to make sure you're legal to drink, but I don't think we look that great would not go back. read more

Unbelievable / $77 for a bone in ribeye that was probably recently purchased at Albertsons. Should have known something was wrong when the waitress said they were out of steak selections accept Ribeye. In addition they were out of baked potatoes. From now on I will skip the casino and go to nice steakhouse in future. read more

The manager reached out and asked me how he could make it right with me. He offered me the next time I visit there he would host me I told him thank you but all I need is for my small meal to be reimbursed I know everybody has a bad day every once in a while. So I chalk this up to just a misunderstanding and he made it right. I would definitely go there next time I am a Buffalo thunder the menu looks delicious. Thank you again read more

Ambiance is nice, old fashion was on point, steak was cooked well. Reason for 1 star-the service I received the second night was HORRIBLE! We sat at the bar, worst service EVER! Older white lady bartender was extremely RUDE! The younger bartender was friendly and attentive. read more

While staying at the Hilton, we have tried the Red Sage upon a few occasions, with average or disappointing results. Happy to say, things have improved immensely. Our service was excellent. Food- great. Very surprised at the huge improvements. Sea Bass was prepared perfectly. Chicken Alfredo was beyond great- no heavy creamy sauce (which is purely bad in every way and a sure sign of cheap preparation), it was obviously pure parmesan and tender choice pieces of chicken breast. Pasta was perfect. Witnessed manager walking and checking on things constantly. Great and highly recommend. read more

Let me say one thing I'm noticing lately around all eating establishments, including fast food. Not enough workers. This trickles down to waiting longer for a table, waiting longer for your food, limited menu options in finer eateries. I've talked to owners and the consensus is there is a labor shortage due to the stimulus money flowing and inflated unemployment pay outs. The government is paying people to stay home. This is not good for the American Dream. Lack of motivation and creating dependency on the government is basically communism. Doesn't work in any country and it most certainly won't work here in the US. Ok. Rant off. Here is my review: We were seated then our waiter went awol. Seriously nowhere to be found. In his defense he was the bartender, busboy, and probably helping in the kitchen. I saw two people in kitchen. The tables next to us both received their food before us. We had to ask where our food was? 45 minutes still no food. Whomp whomp. Food: pizza very good. Crust had a nice beer taste to it. Slightly burnt crust but overall yummy. Southwest chicken salad - was good once I got the missed salad dressing and blue cheese. That took a while since once again our waiter disappeared after food came out. Sea Scallops- I didn't try but those who did said very good. Shrimp cocktail and calamari- people who ate it thought it was good. Beef Sliders - very tasty. Came with potato chips that seemed house made? Before the you know what, this place was rocking with their menu. I'm sad I didn't get to try it. read more

Nice attentive staff. Food was overpriced and not great. You have limited choices when you stay in the area unfortunately. It was this or the Turquoise diner, which looked worse. read more

We were staying at the Hotel here and wanted something to eat. The Red Sage was the only place in the casino that was open. We had wifey, her daughter and granddaughter and myself. We were told it was going to be 15-20 minutes even though we could see lots of open tables so we opted to sit in the bar area. It took the bartender a bit to get to us and we ordered drinks and food. The drinks came pretty quick, I got a double whiskey that was by no means top shelf but the price sure was, they don't tell you how much a shot is before ordering it and the sticker shock when we got the bill was high. The food was mostly good except for my rib-eye. I ordered it med-rare. Most of the steak was good and cooked as ordered, however whoever cut this steak didn't slice it right and one side was half the thickness of the other which made it med-well and tough so I didn't eat all of it. I know casinos like this are usually over priced but this one seemed to be very over priced and since it was the only game in town you either drive to eat or suck it up. If we're ever in the area we'll find another place to stay. read more

Love the food and service. We ordered the Tumbleweed salad, Ribeye and crab cake as appetizer. I will definitely order tumbleweed salad and ribeye again. Crab cake is ok. We also ordered Baker Alaska for dessert. It's marshmallow whip that covers a large scoop of dulce de letche ice cream and a slice of cake on bottom. It's so good! read more

We had a wonderful meal here with fantastic service. We were staying at the Homewood Suites and walked down to this property to explore. In search of a great meal, the bartender suggested Red Sage. It is a nice restaurant, with the whole nine; white table clothes and cloth napkins. We ordered a bottle of sparking wine, local winery Gruett is to thank for that as it was delicious. Our food was wonderful, I splurged with the lobster which were perfect. My friends enjoyed their meals as well (scallops, salmon) and the three of us went to town on their fries which were really good. I am surprised by the negative reviews, not only was the ambiance on point but so was the service and the food was delicious. read more

As usual I wait until the last minute to make reservations for Christmas Dinner. We decided on Red Sage for something different. An hour long drive in a sunny day wasn't too bad either. We arrived and following some simple directions found ourselves at the entrance. Quickly directed to our seats with menus to look over. For the holiday the menu was simple -Prime Rib, Chilean Sea Bass & Pork Loin. We started with a salmon appetizer - smoky in phyllo dough. Our appetizers were butternut squash with apple juice. The apple added sweetness and muted any bitterness. Entrees were easy. Prime Rib for me & Chilean Sea Bass for the wife. The prime rib was meh, not tender - and I got a rare piece, it was lacking in the spice dept - there was no crusting in the outer edges - creamy horseradish saved it. The Chilean Sea Bass was tender and flaky with a strong, almost overpowering fishy taste. For desert I had the rum cake. It was more a piece of dry yellow cake in serious need of some rum glaze. The biscochito cheesecake was tasty and would have made a much better choice. So our meal barely made it to mediocre. But at a premium plus price. Hamburgers and fries from a fast food place may have been the better choice - disappointing. At least the service was excellent saving it from a single star. read more

We loved the food choices we made. The ribeyes were medium rare n they cooked them just right. Marbled meat just to the right degree. We would recommend them. We also had the braised ribs n Sriracha shrimp pasta. Both excellent. Desserts we would recommend the crème brûlée. Lots of parking. Our waiter that night was attentive. read more

We were a party of 10. The hostess spoke to the manager and gave us a table in a private room. Above and beyond. The food was good, I tried the huevos rancheros and the green salsa was very good. When at the buffalo thunder go to the red sage. read more

The food was delish but not for the price. My husband and I went there for dinner before a concert and it was $300 for the two of us. We had four drinks total. I won't go back. It was Just too expensive. Two appetizers and we SHARED a main dish. Seriously. No meal is THAT good. read more

Restaurant Week boasted a 3 course meal that provide a total of 6 options. 2 appetizers / soup or salad / 2 entrees. Being adventurous I had my first soft shelled crab taco that left more to be desired. I felt the coleslaw and tomatillo with the taco left more to be desired as it was one note. Thankfully my medium Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection and the red wine demi glaze was a perfect addition. My only complaint were the glazed carrots. Sweetest veggies in this side of heaven. So sweet I skipped dessert. This was my first time at the Red Sage (I'd give them 4 stars but I waited 90min from the time I was seated before I received my 2nd of a 3 course meal. Mind you the 2nd course was a salad.) read more

Food and especially the service was amazing! Would definitely make the effort to dine here.

I come here occasionally because I earn points at Buffalo Thunder Casino...so it's free....and I try to be very understanding to the quality of the food & service. Otherwise...No-Way-In-Hell would I keep coming back. Our waiter had an attitude and walked by our table at least a dozen(12x) times and never asked if we needed anything or offered to fill the water glasses without us having to ask and the chicken on the Caesar salad along with the ribs were flat-out horrible.... Sorry, this Place flat-out suks....I have never trashed a restaurant until now......I'm going to start spending my points at the SPA.... read more

We have eaten here before and it wasn't great. Our previous dining experience was for my birthday and the meal was hideously expensive and almost inedible. I had the lobster with risotto and the lobster was over cooked and the risotto tasted like sewer. My husband's steak was also cold and undercooked. Tonight, however, we stopped into the bar area to snag a dessert because that was the highlight of our previous dining experience. The bar does have a menu that is appealing and much more affordable. You can also order desserts from the main menu as well! We got my husband a pecan torte with ice cream from the main menu and he had it in the comfy yet fancy bar area. It was stunning and he loved it! We would not recommend the main dining room but definitely the bar area! read more

One star is being too nice. The wife and I stayed at the resort at Buffalo Thunder for the weekend. We wanted a "fancy night out" for dinner and resorted to the Red Sage. Ambiance is nice and low light, like what you would expect for a higher end steak house. Friendly staff! I ordered the ribeye steak. I'm a bit of a steak connoisseur myself as well as my wife. The steak was flavorless and drenched in what appeared to be a gravy(red flag number one). The cut was about an inch or so THIN(red flag number two). The crust appeared to be very black(final red flag). Cutting into my steak shook the whole table. You thought I would have needed a chainsaw or a sawzall. Absolutely the worst steak that $50 can buy. The crust of the steak was completely charred, leaving a nasty bitter taste. I sent my steak back respectfully. The chef came back with a much thicker cut of steak(about inch and a half), still with gravy and charred crust. All around, avoid this place at all costs, unless you enjoy boot leather steaks for a price hike. I absolutely do not recommend this place. Whoever is ordering steaks for this place, needs to be fired immediately, along with the "chef". read more

One star is too much. This restaurant has a nice low light ambience and friendly staff, that is the only positive. Extremely overpriced, $52 for a filet with mashed potatoes and broccolini, $49 for ribeye with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. The food was served room temperature, with warm steaks. Non of the food had seasoning, not a spec of salt, pepper, NOTHING. I ordered my filet medium, it came out butterflied and well done. I tried to eat it despite the wrong temperature but after using quite a bit of salt to add flavor, it was hopeless. Tasted like a frozen hamburger patty. Ignore the good reviews, and just by pass this restaurant, we sure wish we did. read more

Red Sage at Buffalo Thunder Resort is a gem of a restaurant in Northern New Mexico. The grilled halibut was amazing. Perfectly prepared! I'm skeptical about ordering seafood away from the Pacific Northwest but this was prepared and paired with fresh veggies making for such a welcoming surprise.

If you stay at the Buffalo Thunder Resort you might want to make arrangements to drive to dine in Santa Fe.

Went to Red Sage for Thanksgiving meal, queued for well over 30 mins with no update from front of house staff, service when we were eventually seated was super slow and pretty poor (we ended up getting our soup before water or drinks and eventually had the wrong drinks and food brought to our table) however overall the food was nice. I had the corn chowder with green chile soup, prime rib and the pumpkin and sweet potato flan was particularly good. read more

Went here last night (11-25) went to the bar first and partook in the happy hour. The bar staff was friendly and the drinks were tasty and strong, great prices on happy hour for house drinks. The queso fondito was amazing ! Now for the restaurant ..... Staff was super friendly JOSE our waiter was super attentive and his manners were on point. My husband and I bought the cowboy steaks (16oz ribeye) medium rare. Husband's came out perfectly cooked. Mine however was medium / well .. so sent it back and after 15 minutes got another steak that was Rare (super gooy in the middle ) so I sent it back again and finally got a medium rare steak. Quite rediculous to have to do for a $60 steak. Manager did make it better though she took 25% off our whole bill (was over $100) and added 2 free deserts. Also the deserts were mouth watering ( chocolate lava cake and lemon tart) . So food was good but just a terrible experience for the money read more

Normally you were pretty safe going to happy hour at places where they don't have good food and just ordering drinks. Yeah I am proved wrong. Two of the four beers on the menu were available so I had a 50% chance of getting what I ordered. Wrong order the wheat beer got the IPA. Sparkling wine had been in the refrigerator so long it no longer sparkled. Chips and guacamole seems like a harmless way to start except when the guacamole is brown. Chicken in the taco meat was cold. Yum. Kids pizza was the highlight. Don't come here for the love of god. read more

Start off, the steak was okay (i prefer Texas Roadhouse steaks), but the pink diamond was delicious. Second of all, their pizzas are not that flavorful; mine was bland.

We ate Easter dinner there last night. The place was empty except for 4 tables including ours which was the first sign. My husband ordered the pasta but couldn't finish it. Swimming in too much oil & there was a ton of sundried tomatoes that overpowered the pasta. Not great at all. I had the Surf & Turf special. I asked for the filet to be medium rare. It was charred & well-done on one side and more medium on other side. It wasn't that big but seemed like it had been frozen & microwaved to thaw out & I couldn't finish it. I brought it home for my dog. The Maine Lobster tail they advertised was only half a tail. They cut in half, and it was super small to begin with. Didn't even get a "whole" lobster tail. There was literally 2 bites. Plus they didn't even cut the meat out of tail and you had to scrape out with your fork. Not good. Both of us were very disappointed and the meal was just not good. Suzanne, our server was very good so at least that part they got right. We go to Buffalo Thunder all the time, but we'll be skipping eating at Red Sage. Just not good anymore and especially for the prices - It's not what it used to be by far. Too bad. read more
