Wonderful dining experience. This was my husband's and my first time eating at Geronimo. It was a celebration meal, and the entire experience was better than expected. We will be back the next time we are in Santa Fe.

About the restaurant

Zinc is a lively three level bistro in Historic Nob Hill. Featuring an open, urban ambiance, Zinc offers casual fine dining on the main level and the loft mezzanine. For those looking for an exciting show, the exhibition bar offers seats right along the open kitchen. The menu focuses on high quality - yet affordable - American bistro fare and utilizes seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from local farmers. The Cellar Bar offers the same extensive wine list and premium cocktails as the upstairs, but in a more intimate lounge atmosphere with a lighter menu.

Our first dinner at Market Steer’s new location. The ambiance is refined, comfortable, warm, welcoming. The tasteful holiday decorations added charm. Service was superb. Every member of the team was engaging, thoughtful, helpful, attentive. The service ethic is quite a notch above even the most heralded establishments in town. Excellence all around. The food was amazing…from the amusing and delicious onion rings, to superb starters and salads, and perfection in the New Mexico cut prime grade beef. Just delicious, served hot and precisely to order. The wine list is extensive, varied, and a real treat for lovers of exceptional wine. The Sommelier was engaging and attentive and didn’t dismiss us when we exhibited our ability to select a wine for ourselves. We’re so happy for the team at Market Steer…we cannot wait to return for another extraordinary evening.

Atmosphere was terrific and service was great. Our server David was attentive and answered all questions on the menu. We both had the chicken and shared a sweet potato. We left enough room for a churro dessert with ice cream and chocolate ganache. Everything was terrific. This was our first time to this restaurant and resort. Signage is limited, you have to valet or self park and have a golf cart shuttle you to the restaurant, which sits up on a bluff. The restaurant hostess calls the shuttle when you are ready to leave and gets you back down. Beautiful property.

We had a great night. I had a special request on seating and it happened flawlessly. We told our server we were headed to the theater and the timing was perfect. They have a magical way of staging the meal. We had plenty of time with our cocktails and then our fabulous and tasty meal including dessert. Two hours later we left. Reminder… do make a reservation. Two couples before us in line did not have one and while they were able to seat them in the bar, it seems to be so much easier to simply reserve.
