Taking a girls trip to Santa Fe in mid-September. One of the girls is turning 50 and we're looking for a fun restaurant to celebrate that event. Any suggestions? Something with some fun drinks and a lively atmosphere, and good food of course! Thanks!

These are some of our favorites: The Shed, Coyote Cafe , La Casa Sena- Broadway dinner show.

Drinks at Hotel Santa Fe and have a Prickly Pear Margarita! Sit in the lounge on a Friday or Saturday night and listen to local flutist, Ronald Roybal.

DebitNM, is the Rancho de Chimayo still great? It has been a long (LONG) time since I've been out there, but it was a nice place to eat. I enjoyed the Sanctuario there too. Of course, others were being healed, and I broke my glasses. *sigh*

They had a fire a few years ago but reopened. I have not eaten there, so can't say.

I did stop by the sanctuary earlier this year, it has not changed.

Cafe Pasquals is delicious!! It was the best food we ate while in Santa Fe. If you can't go at dinner, it has a great breakfast too.
