- BBrandieUtah •9 reviews5.0Dined todayThis is one of the best meals I've had in a few years. I'd call this approachable gastronomy. The dishes are inventive and refined, but delicious and relatable. The Sopa de Amor is probably what surprised me the most. An unexpectedly perfect combination of flavors and textures. Special mentions also for Chef Olea's original mole and the great selection of Mexican wines. With staff who deliver world-class service while remaining down to earth and honoring any special request and art-filled spaces that are cozy and engaging, Sazon gave us an experience we won't soon forget!More infoSazonPrice: Very Expensive• Latin American• Santa Fe•4.7
- TTerriVIPNew Mexico •29 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was a delightful experience start to finish. The prix-fixe menu had a number of excellent choices. We started with a delicious creamy lobster bisque that was not at all lacking in lobster. We had to request bread, but it was delivered promptly & warm with a delicious butter just tinged with honey & herbs. Between the four of us we tried the Chilean sea bass, the prime rib, the lamb shank & the chicken cordon Bleu. All entrees were delicious & were quite ample portions. The flan for dessert was creamy & sweet. Our waiter, Armando, was amazing! He was attentive without being overbearing, charming and accommodating. He recognized that we were attending a concert, had time constraints and smoothed the way for us. Food, service, ambience…fabulous!More infoLa Plazuela at La Fonda on the PlazaPrice: Expensive• Southwest• Santa Fe•4.7
