Chef Myles: wow. Every time we go to Prairie Star our experience gets better and better. You can taste the care, thought, expertise, passion, and love that goes into these dishes. We did the wine dinner again and ordered one of everything. This was the best Caesar salad I have ever had. The broccoli was crispy, but slightly tender, the dressing was absolute perfection; not too tangy, flavorful and bold. The trout and braised beef bolognese were out of this world. The trout’s skin and seasoning were delicious and the green beans and pilaf that it sat on complimented each bite exactly as they should. The crème brûlée cheesecake— oh my goodness. Red chile caramel? Sir, you belong on the cover of Food & Wine and Saveur. We have never gone to a wine dinner here and not enjoyed each and every bite. We are so lucky that this restaurant is in New Mexico! As always, service was spectacular. The gentleman (I believe his name was Roger? I’m sorry if I got this wrong.) greeted me like we were old friends. We were so fortunate to be seated with Kristina again. She knew exactly what we wanted: everything. Haha! And we opted for a white wine with dinner, Sauvignon blanc, which was delicious! We can’t wait to return. Thank you, again, for such a great experience.

We love La Plazuela, and this meal was no exception. Our server, Edgar, was pleasant and the service was accommodating, the food prep perfect and quick. I loved my chicken schnitzel and my wife was impressed with her huitlacoche tamal. I don’t see how the meal could have been better. The desserts, for example, were amazing!

The food was absolutely fantastic. The ricotta honey dip and charred bread was to die for. My husband had the buffalo tenderloin. It melted in your mouth. Food and service were superb.

Blades is our neighborhood go-to spot. The service is excellent and the food is always reliably good. This trip we had two of the specials and they were excellent. The paella was a nice deviation from the regular menu and a really nice surprise (most places serve it too dry). It's nice to have a restaurant you can count on for quality without the food getting boring.

    Still the best restaurant in Santa Fe with the best service. We had another perfect evening there and the Tuna Sashimi appetizer, the Mexican white prawns and grilled Lobster tail were outstanding. Many thanks to Mitzi for attentive service, as usual. Highly recommended!
