   Lobster bisque was fantastic as was table side guacamole. Scallop main course and Chile Rellenos also excellent. Disappointing were the fillet mignon, a little tough and not much flavor. It's beautiful inside and despite the hard surfaces we found it quite easy to talk across what was a fairly large table for 4 people.

   Couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere for a little holiday get together with girlfriends. The staff was attentive and friendly. The table side guacamole was perfect. And all of our entrees were delicious!

   Great food! Easy to talk to the people at your table. Not too close to other tables. Good service.

   Definitely one of the most lovely restaurants in Santa Fe, located in the historic La Fonda Hotel. My favorite meals there are breakfast and lunch. Great and friendly staff.

   Excellent food and service but management should look into how reservations are staggered as we waited 30 minutes for a table with a reservation.

   We had such an incredible experience at La Plazuela! I don’t typically take the time to write reviews as detailed as this one, however, the service, food, and entire experience was so outstanding that I had to share it. I’ve been to many restaurants in Santa Fe and all over the country for that matter (NY, Chicago, LA) and I have to say I felt more taken care of and that the level of customer service was on a whole different level. Our server El Bryan (yes “The Bryan”) went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was top-notch. From amazing wine and dessert pairings to thoughtful touches, we were beyond blown away. I was a server for seven years and I often find myself disappointed when we go out, especially to higher priced restaurants but this experience did not in any way disappoint. The manager even took the time to come over to our table at the end to ensure that we had a stellar experience. If you find yourself in Santa Fe, please make a reservation and visit La Plazuela.

   They were over booked. We had reservations for 6:30PM and had to wait for a table until 7:05PM. Our dinner plates were served at the same time they had just finished the guacamole appetizer made in front of us. We had no time to enjoy the freshly made guacamole and drinks. This was a special occasion dinner and felt rushed. Quite disappointing.

    Great old Santa Fe hotel restaurant with an appropriate feel and ambience. We were warmly greeted and immediately seated at our reserved time. We were then asked if we had any time constraints. (We did not.. Apparently, many guests were headed to a concert). We said we would like to take our time.. We ordered several appetizers, Carpaccio and table-made Guacamole are standouts. Over the next couple hours we enjoyed entrees, an appropriate priced bottle of wine and deserts for four. The staff was attentive and friendly. This dinner was very much a highlight of our weekend.
