The Anasazi Restaurant, Bar Lounge

The drinks were excellent and the atmosphere was chill.

I, and four friends joined me for lunch at The Anasazi Restaurant. We all ordered the Fish Tacos. As another Local Guide mentioned (but alas I only just saw her review), these were the blandest fish tacos any of us had ever eaten. The sauces added nothing. One was red, one was green. Neither had any particular zing. We were all very disappointed. How can you screw up fish tacos? At least the ingredients were fresh. The service was good and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant. We could actually hear each other converse.

Wow! The food was fantastic. We had the bison steak and the chicken. Just perfect... everything was cooked precisely and tasted delicious. The vegetables were exceptionally well cooked and the meat was very good. Drinks were refreshing. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable and relaxing to sit in. The only downside was that the service was a little slow, but the wait staff checked in regularly and asked about food allergies before we ordered.

A chic, rustic space that’s perfect for a special occasion or a laid back happy hour. Great cocktail menu and service with a central location and charming front patio.

We reserved a table for dinner here for first night in Santa Fe not really knowing what it would be like or was rated etc. We were more than pleasantly surprised by the service but more importantly by the delicious, inventive, wonderfully presented, exceptional appetizers and entrees we enjoyed.
