Restaurants near Chimayo Museum

We were very pleasantly surprised by our dinner at Coyote Cafe! We were initially a bit confused as to how to get into the restaurant and if we had booked a reservation at the restaurant or rooftop, but once we found our way, our entire experience was great! Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly and the food was fantastic! We had the kabocha squash soup, bison carpaccio, and elk tenderloin - all of which were fabulous with such unique Native American-inspired flavors. The only thing we had that didn’t quite live up to our expectations was the pecan pie for dessert. But otherwise everything far surpassed our expectations and it was a phenomenal first meal for our weekend in Santa Fe.

Thanksgiving feast was awesome. Turkey and sides were delicious. Gabriel was our server. He was attentive and fun to converse with. He spoiled us! Starters, main course, and desert were the best. I walked by the kitchen and applauded them for the great job. Every restaurant should require their STAFF'S to watch "The Bear" on HULU. It is raising the populations expectations of fine dining and may certainly help establishments raise their own bars. Stay ahead of the curve. LOL

Izanami did a great job on Thanksgiving Day! They took excellent care of us during our visit. My reason for the 4 stars for the food was because the pork was a bit dry and the cranberry sauce was too tart. But…the star of the day was the GF apple-ginger pie. The crust was divine. If the chef would give us the recipe, we would be so very appreciative! Overall, an excellent visit as always!

Santa Cafe provided us a warm and memorable Thanksgiving experience!! Our original plans were unexpectedly re-routed due to over two foot of snow in Telluride. Santa cafe was an unexpected and amazing surprise with the most savory and delicious food anyone could ever imagine and their staff giving up their Thanksgiving day to make ours special. Many thanks to all of you…and your hospitality, much appreciated! My husband enjoyed the calamari and I enjoyed the pillowy, pumpkin ravioli. This followed by the filet on celery root puree with scalloped stacked potato and herb side dish. I enjoyed the amazing bone in chop with some sort of pearl pasta in the most amazing wine reduction sauce! Waiter, somalier, stopped by and then the manager with a gift, it was a jar of hot rum mixture to take home and a sample at the table. It was delicious! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Delicious fresh guacamole made at the table. Lots of beautiful local art on the walls. It was lively and enjoyable.
