"It’s one of those restaurants that aims for fine dining with artistic presentation and modern plating, but the flavors don’t quite live up to the visual ambition — more style than substance. For the price point, I expected a higher level of service. Plates and silverware were never replaced, there wasn’t much guidance through the menu, and no one checked in while we waited about 30 minutes between courses. The staff was kind, but the service didn’t quite match the cost of the experience. In Summary: Lots of dots, fun cracker art, and deconstruction — just not much satisfaction. It’s the kind of place where you pay $40 for a memory of a beet. There are other really fabulous restaurants with the same price point that I would rather dine at."

"Terracotta was an easy walk from our hotel close to the plaza. We sat on the front porch and the roses were beautiful making for such a pleasant atmosphere. The wine list was great and very reasonable. We ordered the crab cakes to start and they had such good flavors. Our favorite dish was the scallops and lobster tail. We finished with the kiwi desert and it was so unique and delicious. We were blown away with the presentation of the food, it is art. The staff was so friendly and we were very well taken care of."

"To celebrate a friend's birthday we shared a bottle of French Pinot, the yummy charcuterie board and then each ordered the crab cakes. The service was perfect, the atmosphere cozy. A delightful evening!"

"This is a charming little restaurant on a side street next to the Georgia O’Keeffe museum. It’s full of beautiful roses during this summer. The decorations are simple, charming, and the colors of the restaurant itself are visually appealing. The food is the most well presented food I’ve ever had the chef and owner is very personable. He’s excited to make food that he enjoys and loves and that satisfies the guests. I really had a great experience."

"Category: Fine Dining. This place has been one of our regular Santa Fe haunts for many years. The atmosphere is kind of a cross between Santa Fe Spanish and Country French, and it works. The hardwood floored dining rooms are decorated with original art, with an old wooden cabinet set into one nicho and a wine rack and pottery set into another. The 5-seat, zinc-topped, wall-facing bar, which has been our home for many dinners, gives a peek into the wine room to the left. The wall to the left of the bar is decorated with the many awards the restaurant has won over the years. On our most recent visit we dined at a cozy corner table in the bar area. I'd label the menu Creative American with world influences, from the Lamb Tagine (Moroccan) to the Grilled Ahi Tuna with Serrano Soy and Wasabi Crema (Japanese) to the Stuffed Poblano (Northern New Mexican). We shared the Ravioli (Italian) and the Chicken Ballotine (French). Both were excellent. The ravioli -- actually three large ravioli -- was unique: each one has a different filling and the three together were garnished with Pine Nuts and Pesto. So many flavors! Service was excellent, as always. If you want al fresco dining, there are a few tables in the front and a small patio in the back. Although the night was beautiful, we opted to dine inside to enjoy both the food and the atmosphere. YouTube's Chef's Apprentice"
