Fodor's Review:
A dashing, dramatic, high-ceiling restaurant inside the fancifully plush El Monte Sagrado resort, this chic spot presents daring globally influenced cuisine. Top starters include smoked trout with horseradish-cognac cream, and blue-corn calamari with grilled-pineapple salsa and chipotle-lime vinaigrette. Among the mains, you can't go wrong with the molasses-marinated quail with a parsnip cake and dried-blueberry sauce, or pan-roasted lamb with asiago, grilled asparagus, and sage bread pudding. Tequila-lime pie with white-chocolate-ancho chile crust and prickly pear syrup makes for a happy ending. It's dressy by Taos standards, but you'll still fit in wearing smartly casual threads.

This restaurant has slipped since it garnered awards. It has changed hands and service is no longer top notch. Avoid the valet parking unless you complete strip your car of any valuables.
