What People Are Saying
from Google"My fiance and I went here for our last dinner in Taos. This is a cute little quaint Fine dining restaurant located in One of the hotels walking distance from the Blake Hotel. Highly encourage making reservations as they can get busy pretty fast! We started off with the cheese plate and Caesar salad. I am big on Cheese plates and charcuterie boards and have had quite a variety, and this is probably the most disappointing cheese plate I've ever had in my life. Feel free to reference my photos, we essentially got four thinly sliced pieces of cheese cut into further smaller pieces. I was very disappointed, and an embarrassing plate to present - photo speaks for itself. Our server just got sat with 3 tables back to back so she didn't get the chance to check in with us regarding the apps. Although off to a bad start I was pleasantly surprised and happy with our main dishes! I ordered the Scottish salmon, the fish was nicely crisp on a bed of crispy rice surrounded by a tasty Vietnamese yellow curry. My fiance ordered the steak and fritz, he said his steak is slightly over cooked but overall very tasty and ate every bite. I think it was the manager or similar checked in with us regarding our meal to see how everything was, I explain to her my disappointment and the cheese plate, she appreciated the feedback and gave us a small discount."
"Had our favorite meal of the week here! We sat at the bar (because the lighting in the main area was just a little too bright). Our bartender, Oscar, was great and friendly. We split the kale Caesar, meatballs, and the steak. All of which were incredible. I can’t get the photos to add, but trust!"
"Great place with fast and friendly service and a good range of available dishes including flank steaks and filets and salmon and a range of local beers on draft. Generous portions and protein is cooked well and seasonings are good."
"Stopped by for a Sunday brunch- wonderful! Manager greeted us warmly and took us to a beautiful table on the patio. They had a delightful menu with several options. Two of our group ordered the breakfast parfait and said they were delicious My biscuits and Gravy were exceptional! Overall a great experience!!"
"Ellie was amazing! Wow! After a great day skiing, she gave great recommendations and her friendly personality made my night!"
