Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Art District on Santa Fe

Our bartender/server with the lovely "gin" tattoo was awesome. The fella who seated us not so much. However, our bartender/server was completely engaging, informative and she trusted us to create some beautiful and flavorful cocktails.

We had a wonderful experience. The bartender was slammed but he was still attentive and courteous. The food was great and the crème brûlée cheesecake was a great way to end the evening. We will be back. Glad we sat at the bar bc the narrow tables in the taproom did not look inviting or comfortable.

Nice easy going breakfast place. They do not require reservations for breakfast and rarely for lunch. My server, Miguel U was nice and efficient. He gave me plenty of time to make my selections. I ordered a hot matcha latte from the Little Owl Coffee bar nearby. He brought over a small stoneware beaker of simple syrup to sweeten my latte. I got the Scrambled Toast with veggies & scrambled egg on sourdough toast and an Icelandic style Skyr yogurt with granola. I will be back to try other items including lunch.

We went to Uchi for our Anniversary. Overall we had an outstanding experience. We enjoyed the food and service as we sat at the sushi counter. Chef Jacob helped us with our orders. The food was excellent. Fish & lobster were fresh. Apparently they received 3 seafood shipments per week. We had Lobster Miso, Walu Walu (steamed fish), uni & salmon roe nigiri, hot rock wagyu beef, and a few drinks. We also received complimentary sushi for our Anniversary.

What a great experience. The manager, Matt and his team treated us fantastic. Our waiter, Magan, I think was awesome. Our 3 appetizers were delicious. They brought them out one at a time so we could enjoy them individually. The sushi rolls were high quality, cocktails as well. Great location, reasonably priced and super welcoming. We will be back.
