Best Cozy Restaurants in Placitas

We went for a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day & the food was AHmazing! The ambiance was nice & we also had excellent service. The chef made an amazing menu for dinner. Just excellent & a lovely meal.

Prairie Star is absolutely fabulous, it's small and quaint southwestern. The restaurant is on Santa Ana reservation, which overlooks the Santa Ana Golf Course and the Sandia Mountains. The food/menu is diverse and offers a nice variety of entrees. The menu is fairly priced. The Prairie Star is a must for upscale dining at a fair price. We celebrate our wedding anniversary yearly at the Prairie Star. Roger, the manager, returns confirmation reservations quickly and manages a top-notch restaurant. Wait staff are pros!!

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with friends. We arrived a little early but sat at the bar and Andy whipped us up some lovely drinks while we waited. We were seated on time and the service was great. Bread and Brie made a fantastic appetizer. The beet salad, filet, lamb, and halibut special were all delicious. As were the cheesecake and molten lava cake desserts. This was several years in a row for our Christmas Eve dinner at this classic neighborhood restaurant in Corrales.

We had an amazing time celebrating Christmas Eve at Santa Ana Cafe. The food was amazing and the ambiance throughout was beautiful and so festive. It was a wonderful time as a family!! Merry Christmas to all…

We chose to dine at Blade's Bistro with our daughters who were visiting from out of state, even though it had been a while since my wife and I had patronized the establishment. We were met by a very friendly young lady who promptly seated us at a table set for three instead of four as reserved via Open Table. She quickly remedied the issue. Our waiter, Nick, introduced himself and set us off on a dining experience we will not soon forget. He displayed great humor, had good banter with the table and was so knowledgeable of the menu items and specials for the evening. He even talked us through the NM liquor options available for drinks. From the appetizers to the main courses ordered through the deserts, everything was excellent! I highly recommend Blade's for a wonderful night out.
