Fodor's Review:
Renowned chef Martín Rios has long ranked among the state's great culinary wizards, and his move in early 2006 to the snazzy Inn of the Anasazi immediately upgraded the hotel's restaurant from merely passable to stellar. The romantic, 90-seat restaurant with hardwood floors, softly indirect lighting, and beam ceilings feels slightly less formal than the other big-ticket dining rooms in town, and Rios's cooking always dazzles. Specialties from the often-changing menu include ahi tuna tartar with artichoke-scallion blinis; pork tenderloin medallions with zinfandel-braised onions, sweet potatoes with piñon nuts, and a red chile-bourbon reduction. The Sunday brunch is terrific.

Excellent food and a very good wine list.
Disappointing Dining
Posted by DallasBill from Dallas, Texas on 1/14/08
Granted, our reservations were for Christmas Eve, but that still doesn't excuse some of the worse service that we've ever encountered in a highly rated restaurant. If you don't have the enought staff available to adequately service your customers then cut back on your reservations!
A Christmas Disappointment
Posted by nikoserge from San Diego, CA on 1/2/08
My husband and I ate here close to Christmas 2007 and were horribly disappointed. Our dinner was bad from top to bottom. We ordered dry martinis to start and very sweet martinis arrived. Our green salads were so overtly salty that we had to send them back. They were returned, undressed, with insipid balsamic dressing on the side.
My husband's duck was tough and dry and served with very little, tasteless reduction sauce. My tenderloin, although tender, was cool with no redeeming sauce. The menu said it came with a cabrales souffle and smoked potato gnocchi. The souffle was literally the size of a quarter and there were 2 gnocchis under the meat. This is a very expensive place and its clintele deserve much better. The service was very erratic. We talked with locals in Santa Fe who also had bad experiences and wondered at its continued popularity. It's been the worst dining experience that we've had in a decade.
A well-deserved Fodor's Choice

Five stars across the board: great food, service, and ambiance. Expensive, but worth it.
