Geronimo

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

The wine menu is extensive, and servers are quick to pair dishes with a bottle at any price.

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

"Ensconced on a road best-known for its art galleries, Geronimo brings creative flair to the fine dining experience. Chef Sllin Cruz traces the seasons with a changing menu featuring the likes of Wagyu beef carpaccio, pan-seared foie gras, and tellicherry rubbed elk tenderloin. The restaurant is set in an adobe home that feels far from its humble 1756 beginnings with whitewashed walls, antler chandeliers, and studded leather dining chairs. However, the best seat in the house is on the low-slung portal on summer evenings during art walks when gallery gazers amble by." - Ashley M. Biggers
