Geronimo - Review - Canyon Road - Santa Fe - The Infatuation
"At this fine dining institution (est. 1991), you’ll be surrounded by Texans on vacation, but the wagyu carpaccio will make you forget about the Longhorn State vs. Land of Enchantment rivalry. Geronimo does a fusion-y menu of mostly roasted and pan-seared meats and seafood (there’s also a great $80, four-course vegetarian menu). The more straightforward dishes shine, like a grilled rack of lamb and a Tellicherry-rubbed elk tenderloin swaddled in garlic mashed potatoes that will radically redefine your definition of “meat and potatoes.” If you’re looking for romance, this place is the move. There’s complimentary sparkling wine from hometown hero Gruet Winery, leather chairs you won’t want to get up from, dimly lit adobe walls, and an impressively good dessert of roasted apples and cognac ice cream encased in white chocolate mousse they simply call “The Apple.” Be sure to request indoor seating to enjoy the full Geronimo experience." - Nina Katz
