“ Just passed by for a midday break after visiting all the wonderful museums and art structures by Canyon Road. Italian soda on a hot day can never go wrong. And the owner was very friendly and sociable. Casual, chill atmosphere and decent prices. ”
“ The Lamb Shank was so good that we went back a 2nd time before we left. Live music was great too. It's between 1 to 4pm on certain days of the week. Can't recall exactly what days. There were two parking spots right next to it, but it was usually taken. Patio is dog friendly. ”
“ Michael, Rita, and Francine were incredibly sweet to both us and the pups The Greek fries were incredible. ”
“ If you're looking for really good NM Food than you have to try this place. Off of Canyon Road, this is our new favorite place to eat in Santa Fe. The owner, a native New Yorker was very engaging and welcoming to all of his guests. He also had a cool little store connected to the restaurant. So if you're on Canyon Road or just in Santa Fe, you have to stop and try out their food. ”
“ What an awesome lunch in a perfect environment. We stopped here before our Canyon Road gallery exploration. The owner was crazy friendly. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere is laid back and perfect for its location. ”
“ Great menu with a range of New Mexican food. Nice decor inside with two outdoor patio spaces to eat. Friendly and helpful service. They also have pleasant live music at times through the day. ”
“ Had a wonderful leisurely late lunch of the lamb shank...it was absolutely delicious. Met Michael Linder, the owner, who was so incredibly friendly. A New Yorker transplanted to New Mexico. A must visit for anyone who visits Santa Fe! ”
“ In early December, my wife and I had a wonderful breakfast here following an overnight snowfall. We settled at a table in front of the fireplace and enjoyed a crackling fire and hot coffee while waiting for our food to arrive. Our meals were pretty much standard breakfast fare with a southwest twist, and approached home-cooked quality. All in all, coupled with the friendly service and other-worldly ambiance (see photos), it was a wonderful experience. We'll be back! ”
