    We really enjoyed our dinner at TerraCotta. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were so happy to see they have gotten their full alcohol license. Chef Jose is doing a great job and we wish him continued success. We’ll be back.

    From entering the restaurant the experience at Sazón was excellent. The food was amazing including the best soup we’ve ever had. Some very creative and unique dishes and all were excellent. Starting with the mole tasting was very cool. Our server, Nick, was excellent and made great suggestions and explained the dishes in detail. Absolutely a must try restaurant in Santa Fe.

    My husband and I went to Sasella to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. Our server was Miguel, and he was fantastic. He made excellent recommendations on both the food and the wine. For our appetizer, we ordered a sea bass fish cake in a tomato soup base. Then, we had lobster risotto with a pesto sauce. For our main course, we had a wagyu steak in a sauteed bed of arugula. For dessert, we ordered the triple-layer almond amaretto cake. Everything was divine! I can't recommend Sasella enough. We will definitely return!
