Restaurants near Velarde On The Camino Real Historical Marker

This is where we go when we want to treat ourselves and spend a really special evening with friends or family. It never disappoints. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The food is great and perfect for sharing. We love the yellowtail roll, the fried oysters, the pork ribs - to name only a few. the servers are pleasant, friendly, personable without being intrusive. Secret tip: for some reason it's not on the menu, but they offer sake flights and that's a fun way to try out different ones. Our only problem yesterday, and this was not the fault of the restaurant, was the unruly, extremely shrill, probably drunk group of six people at the neighboring table. It was impossible to converse or even relax. This group should have gone to a bar instead, they were ill-placed in this serene environment and they were super annoying. Fortunately the staff were able to find us a different table and it became a beautiful evening as usual.

My wife and I had dinner at Geronimo last night. The food, service and ambiance were outstanding. The building is unique and is a great location for this type of dining. We had a table in the bar area and it was comfortable and was very cozy. Geronimo’s billing as the best dining in NM is well deserved. We have eaten at multiple Michelin restaurants and this restaurant is on par. If in Santa Fe, try to eat here. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing meal and the range of options were excellent. This is a solid pick for Santa Fe finer dining, with an elegant casual atmosphere. While the greeting and support staff were cordial and welcoming, our primary server was subpar, cold, and rushed our service which was unfortunate.

Everyone at Gabriel’s did an outstanding job for our BIG family birthday dinner celebration! We had 17 people…including 3 young children. The service was excellent! The food delicious! They even let us bring in our own birthday cake. Special kudos to Girardo!

From the start all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food was beyond amazing. I don’t like lamb and still enjoyed my boyfriend’s rack of lamb. The chicken mole was some of the best I’ve ever had. Service was perfection and the housemade tea exquisite. Wish I lived here so I could go again!
