The 22 Best Restaurants in Santa Fe, New Mexico | Eater

"Nestled within a cozy adobe home built in 1756, Geronimo is famed for its five-star experience, from the valet who takes your car to the impeccably plated dessert to finish a meal. Fans are especially fond of the stunning meat preparations like elk tenderloin, rack of lamb, and foie gras, which make this Santa Fe institution ideal for a celebration. Stop by for major holidays like Christmas or New Year’s to experience the prix fixe menus and wintry ambiance. The wine menu is extensive, and servers are quick to pair dishes with a bottle at any price. If you go with a family of five, be prepared to spend more than your rent or mortgage on a meal, but in exchange, the service, ambiance, and quality of the food and wine are once in a lifetime experiences. Know before you go: Make a reservation a month in advance. You may be able to slip in earlier, but if you’re determined to experience Geronimo, plan for it." - Karen Fischer
