   We had a beautiful dinner with friends last night. The staff were attentive and personable. The food was well prepared and tasty. The ambience was conducive to a night of great food and conversation. We were not rushed and felt taken care of. We will return!

   A little disappointed with the dim sum brunch, which we had been looking forward to. Very nice and friendly service; food was good but not memorable. We will be back to Alkeme, but not for the dim sum.

   Charming little restaurant with friendly service and delicious, Asian-fusion cooking. Cocktails are inventive - I had the Pho Sho, which was tart & a little spicy & delicious. Food is creative, with an inventive use of Vietnamese & Taiwanese spices. Many of the dishes are vegan and / or gluten free, & are labeled clearly on the menu. I had the Vietnamese crepe with veggies, which was tender & tasty. Followed with the branzino, which was yummy. Dessert was a clever "napoleon" that was also vegan & gluten free. The wine list is decent & pairs well with the food. So happy to have this funky, fun place in Santa Fe!

   First a prospective diner should know that the staff at Alkeme and the service was excellent. They have some VERY interesting cocktails and it's worth a visit. We did the tasting menu for two, both the meat and seafood 'forward' menus. Some items were good, others missed the mark. The theme seems to be an asian cuisine take on famous multi-cultural 'heritage' dishes (aka home style foods) but it got a little confusing at times. If I dined there again I would order a la carte from the menu and skip the tasting menu.

   Food was mostly very good, however my wife had a dessert that was basically inedible. Crepes were a highlight. Cilantro was in two dishes which my wife can’t eat. After first one, she mentioned it, but it showed up in a second one. Had to be returned and remade without cilantro. Also my friend was asked if he wanted a second drink (beer) but the waitress returned way later and he had already given up on it.

   We've dined at Alkeme for dinner several times and decided to try their Saturday Dim Sum Brunch and we couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend this new offering to the Santa Fe brunch scene. We had the Bao (both pork belly and duck confit) which were superb. We then sampled the dumplings. Both variations were excellent. The chinese chive, pork and shrimp was slightly our favorite but cabbage and pork were also wonderful. Service was en pointe. It was quiet with only a few diners there, probably because of the recent snow and the fact this is a new offering. We will definitely go back!
