The Anasazi Restaurant & Bar

For the money, definitely not worth it. The service was good, they were very attentive. It took a while to get our initial drink order but fine afterwards. It is a cute place, I’d say “Southwest fancy” but the music is TERRIBLE!!! There was a sax player at the entrance and we were across the restaurant and could barely hear. It was basically a guy playing a riff of scales over and over with a simple song smattered in. It was so distracting and unnecessary, especially since they still had background music on. Please do not have live “music” in a venue like that when there isn’t space for it with such a loud instrument. It was very pretty otherwise, a nice mix of southwestern minimal but gawd awful music ruined it all. We asked for chips and guac which was technically a bar item but they were kind enough to bring some. The guac and salsa was so good!! The octopus starter was fresh even for a landlocked state and flavorful. It was perfectly charred, highly recommend if you like octopus. The risotto was wonderful. It’s not only a good vegetarian option, it’s a good option for us carnivores too! The dish is deceivingly small, the portion is plentiful and filling. It has a nice consistency and well spiced. The corn is a nice addition giving it a good southwestern spin on risotto. Highly recommend Salmon-no. It was dry, overcooked, and oddly seasoned. The seasonings were “big” so it overpowered the salmon. But, it doesn’t really matter because it wasn’t cooked well at all. I suppose that’s what I get for ordering salmon in NM. The skin char was good but cancelled out by a very overcooked fish. I think if it weren’t so overcooked it would’ve been better. Drinks-meh. Portions were not even remotely enough for the price. The coffee cocktail (I forgot the name) would be much better if it was served up, not on the rocks. The watermelon marg was nice, not sweet at all, had a Tajin rim which paired well with the marg itself but would be much better with a cucumber garnish to bring out the cucumber flavoring. Mine had a massive mint sprig (like a ton!) in mine but my cousin’s didn’t. I don’t know if I had a mint garnish and shouldn’t or hers should’ve and didn’t, but there should not be a mint garnish on a marg. It detracted from the flavor and the pour was very small. None of them were worth upwards of $18 or more. We stumbled into this place because we didn’t want to wait two hours somewhere else, we should’ve waited and spent under $200 for great food and it $300 for meh.

Wow! The food was fantastic. We had the bison steak and the chicken. Just perfect... everything was cooked precisely and tasted delicious. The vegetables were exceptionally well cooked and the meat was very good. Drinks were refreshing. The chairs are surprisingly comfortable and relaxing to sit in. The only downside was that the service was a little slow, but the wait staff checked in regularly and asked about food allergies before we ordered.

The chef is from Sassella and he is quite good, a blend of Santa Fe and Italian flavors.

The worst food experience in Santa Fe thus far. For a Rosewood property, quite a dismal experience. Honestly, it was embarrassing how horribly prepared (overcooked soggy rice, murdered chicken) and bland the food was. The margarita was OK, the enchiladas and fajitas were reminiscent of Sysco crap peddled by cheap Mexican restaurants. What a disgrace to the Rosewood brand - do better!

An upscale, rustic decor with a relaxed, unfussy vibe, Anasazi has a new executive chef, Christian Pontiggia, at the helm. The three of us shared an inventive Pear Carpaccio-Asian pears, pistachios, cheese, balsamic reduction and mysterious “beads of deliciousness,” which turned out to be encapsulated mango. The delightful Chef appeared at our table when we inquired about the beads and gave us each a condiment cup full of them to take home. They are addicting; such a great little flavor bomb. My friend ate three for dessert. They reminded me of the sensory sensations I experienced when I lunched at L’ Ambroisie in the Place Des Vosges in Paris. We also shared two entrees: lamb loin and branzino. The best lamb that I have eaten in decades. Cooked to a real medium rare with a superb risotto, asparagus, and rich glaze, it is a substantial dish for one. The branzino was light, but meaty, with an unexpected, but welcome crisp to it, which was repeated in the accompanying crispy shallots, a top a flavorful, but delicate sauce.

I would have given more stars if I were reviewing the food alone, but it was a bit snooty for my taste. I set out for a causal dinner and a different restaurant but because of their wait time, I ended up at this place, was less than welcoming. I waited at least 15 minutes to be acknowledged by a server at my table. I was not dressed fancy enough and the staff made me feel as much. My jeans and half zip sweater were clearly a giveaway I didn't set out for this place. Despite the hostess assuring me there was no dress code. I was left waiting for at least 15 minutes for someone to greet me. My server tried to upsell the hell out of me but I only wanted a light meal. The waitstaff were not friendly AT ALL. The NICEST person there was the hostess. I've never felt so unwelcome when I'm spending money at someone's business. When I tried telling the hostess about it she said, I can go get the manager. I wasn't really interested in complaining that hard core. At that moment, the manager was walking by and she signaled to him to talk to me and he looked at me, turned his head and kept walking. I swear, l could not believe the overall attitude of this place. So needless to say, my complain on site went unaddressed so here we are on Google instead. I'd be hard pressed to ever visit again. My appetizer was good and my server said he made the old fashioned which was also good. I'd only return for the food and drinks NOT the service or atmosphere.

I, and four friends joined me for lunch at The Anasazi Restaurant. We all ordered the Fish Tacos. As another Local Guide mentioned (but alas I only just saw her review), these were the blandest fish tacos any of us had ever eaten. The sauces added nothing. One was red, one was green. Neither had any particular zing. We were all very disappointed. How can you screw up fish tacos? At least the ingredients were fresh. The service was good and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant. We could actually hear each other converse.

I suggested this bar to my visitors, as we have had a few great nights there. They reported bad service and weak drinks. Sitting on the patio, they waited 20 minutes for drinks that never came. Reordered at the bar, but they were so weak it was hardly worth it. I made 3 calls to the restaurant the next day just to let them know there was a problem that night, but no one was available, and though I was told the manager would call, no one bothered to. Luckily, we sent these visitors to Geronimo for dinner and they loved it. I'm sorry to have to scratch Anasazi off our list, but we have plenty of consistent places from which to choose.

The service is incredible! Our waitperson was attentive and helpful. He greeted us by name {from our reservation} when he introduced himself. He offered tastes of wine when we were selecting our wine by the glass. I decided on a salad and the scallops{which are on the starter menu}. Both were served in a timely fashion, the scallops coming with the rest of the parties entrees. The other two entrees were the Bison {cooked perfectly} and the Branzino {which is served pre sliced/filleted}. Both were cooked as ordered. My scallops were served with an incredible sauce that we preceded to dip bread, bison, and fish in. Was just stunning in its flavour and creaminess. We had the flourless cake and Crème Brûlée for dessert. The cake was great but my only disappointment was the Crème.

Lovely bar area with friendly and knowledgable bartenders. In addition for breakfast they have a tasty turmeric immunity drink.

Painful experience. Waited for the food for about an hour. Food itself was nothing special - the burger and fries look better than they taste. Nice ambiance though the bar is small and un-charismatic.

I visited this spot during the Indian Market last weekend and enjoyed a flatbread topped with pistachio pesto, roasted vegetables, and cheese. I paired it with a refreshing Rosé, and everything was fantastic! The ambiance is off the chain and we will be back.

Great margarita (silver coin) but nothing extraordinary. We also tried the nachos which we ate because we were hungry but I'd have to say they were the worst nachos I've had which was a shame as I like the margarita. I live in town and I'm looking for the best margarita and appetizer spot.

Good experience- menu is varied and food was outstanding. Good service. Will return and recommend

My family of four visited this delightful restaurant for late lunch in a May of 2023. We loved the interior, very rustic with some modern touches, plenty of space for larger parties if needed and we found service to be quite good too. We started with delicious snow crab amuse bouche, then moved on to wonderful Grilled Spanish Octopus and Tuna Poke. For main dish we had Roasted Half Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and heirloom potatoes, simple and fabulous.

Came to Anasazi with a group of 20 for lunch. Service was mostly friendly though they did clear our wine glasses before we were finished. For lunch, I enjoyed a delicious roasted salmon with corn cakes, roasted fennel, carrots and a lovely light butter sauce which was drizzled for balance. Extensive wine selection. Nice ambience.

Amazing food and service! The ambiance is super cozy and welcoming. The short rib tart was very heavy, but still delicious.

We've been here several times & I can't believe I haven't reviewed it yet!? A manager, Michaela, has been AMAZING on our last 3 visits! She's SUPER helpful, friendly & energetic. Dinner is TASTY (not many vegetarian offerings). The cauliflower is worth mentioning... DRINKS are VERY creative & Michaela puts great thought into combinations & seasonal specialty drinks! A bit on the pricey side, but the staff & ambience are worth it, as a treat!

Staff is friendly. But they seem short handed. They are slow; the bar is even worse. But again, very nice staff. Food was ok, but not really worth the price. Ambience is nice too.

What has happened to this little Jewel box of Santa Fe! As a local and someone that has been visiting this hotel for nearly 20 years, it saddens me to have seen the level of service and quality of food/drink diminish as it has over the last 12 months. With the exception of a few bartenders, the remainder of the staff from front desk, host/hostess and servers appear to have NEVER worked in an establishment like this. The customer is not a priority and the service is subpar. Had a truly unfortunate experience the night of the 24th of February. We always recommend out of town guest to stay here and during this time period, our out of town guest received the worst experience possible. Sadly, they had stayed next door at Chamayo on their previous stay but, because we RAVED about this hotel, they opted to try it out. We met them for drinks the evening of the 24th and it was clearly an evening of the entire staff having a melt down, including the "manager" that was running around in an untucked shirt, khaki's and running shoes. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks (2 silvercoin margarita's and a Negroni). Our server took our order (the 3 drinks and an order of nachos) and then disappeared for over 20 minutes. No drinks arrived so after 25 minutes we finally flagged down the manager. He apologized and told us that the "bartended" called off and it was a bit crazy. THAT is a massive understatement. It took another 10 minutes to get our drinks and our COLD and DRIED out nachos arrived at the same time as our first drink. We truly wanted to enjoy the drink and then nachos but, that was clearly not happening. When we ordered a side of "salsa" to try to revive the nachos, that took 15 minutes and when we asked the server where it was, she said "oh its about done". Really, putting salsa in a bowl to bring to the table required that much work? Our poor friends that stayed at the hotel received a room with a malfunctioning HVAC on the first night. The room was HOT and they had to open windows to try to cool the room down. They were given a different room the next day but, it took a bit of work to make that happen. Then they requested a ride in the hotel car (bentley). Now the driver was probably the friendliest of the hotel staff and most customer service oriented. HOWEVER, the car was filthy on the inside and was experiencing some significant mechanical issues that made the ride like being on a bucking bronco. When our guests asked how long this had been going on, he said "oh about 4 months". YIKES. They all checked out and will never stay at this hotel again as, the experience overall was terrible. Dead plants in all the hallways, rooms and hotel. Staff severely undertrained and do not know the 1st thing about delivering 5 star service. It was as if we were at a Holiday Inn Express. I never leave such reviews without reaching out to management prior. I sent Lutz, the GM, an email outlining what happened and never heard back from him. I finally copied the email to their website and immediately I got a reply informing me he was on vacation for 2 weeks. UMMMMMMM, maybe someone should have covered for you during this time as your staff is not prepared to handle guests without strong leadership! In additon, his "reply" was about as generic as it could have been and didn't even offer to try to "make it right". I'm not sure what is happening here but, this is not the quality of hotel that rosewood stands for. I hope they pull it together or I fear it will lose its standing in Santa Fe. Sadly we are now referring all of our guests to the Auberge and they are out performing the anasazi in all ways.

The poke was amazing! The bread tower was delightful, the water was amazing! The chicken was dry and the kids chicken tenders were blah. The atmosphere was so perfect and gets 5 stars. The only reason for 4 stars is the fact they screwed up the chicken at such a high cost.

The food is a little overly complex and not in a good way. The service, or lack thereof made our dinner unsatisfactory. I will not return.

I hardly know where to begin. This dining room had no one in charge, the service was slow and surprisingly unprofessional, and the food was mediocre at best. Our dinner February 24 was an expensive disappointment. The room was perhaps a third full, and soon was nearly empty. The hostess was not the least bit friendly as she ushered our party of five to a table that was too large. We asked to be seated at a smaller one that needed another chair added at one end. She said three of us could crowd onto the banquette; when we asked for another chair instead, she said she'd have to check about that. (There was no obvious reason it wouldn't be okay.) Ten minutes later she begrudgingly moved another chair to the table but didn't provide the fifth place setting. Another ten minutes elapsed, and no server had greeted us, no one had brought water or the place setting. The single waitress working the room seemed purposely to be ignoring us. When one of us went looking for someone in charge to ask for water and to order, the waitress came, 30 minutes after we had arrived. In addition to food, we ordered a glass of wine and a mocktail; they never came. We finally got the attention of a gentleman who seemed to be in charge of the bar and asked about the two drinks. They eventually arrived just before our entrees. No one ever apologized for any of the long delays. One of us ordered the $52 rib eye steak medium rare; it came well done. (Our server, once we got her attention, did agree that the meat was overcooked, and had it redone.) The roast chicken came drowning in overly sweet red sauce; the pan-seared sea bass filets were thin and dried out and came with a thick, bland white sauce; and the flourless chocolate cake came with coffee ice cream that had crystalized. We will never forget our evening -- because it was so unpleasant!

We really wanted to like this place. When we checked in to get a table, we were greetef in a very polite and professional manner. We were asked about allergies, and this was communicated to the waitstaff. The ambience is comfortable and did the cores not your stereotypical Santa Fe. Unfortunately, the service was completely unattentative throughout our dining experience. We had to ask multiple times for things like plates, utensils and menus. Frankly the waitress was far more interested in her phone than the tables. Even more disappointing was the food. My daughter can (and does) cook better. The way overpriced fajitas were attrocious and the staff NEVER came back to check on whether everything was good or not. This place is way overpriced for the poor quality of food and service I would not recommend it even to an enemy of mine.

1/13/24 @ 3:30 pm. Walk in and ask for accommodations. Was directed to restaurant lobby and hostess. Except no hostess. Saw one female bartender who saw us waiting, with absolutely no acknowledgment. Couple waiting behind us, also looking for the hostess, went and asked bartender about seating. That couple was told that it was "seat yourself ". The other couple informed us of that. They sat at the bar, and we decided to seat in general dining. After waiting about 5 minutes, the other couple came and informed us that seating at that time was only at the bar and that general dining wasn't seating until 5 pm. Not one bit of communication from any staff members. So, we left.

This restaurant is gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous, but food is mediocre to say the least. Since it was short menu we expected all items to be executed perfectly. Oh, food wise I would give 1-2 star, but wine list is amazing! But they were out of our first two choices. We ordered salad and cauliflower to start. Fire roasted Cauliflower came actually boiled without any seasoning (or at least that how we felt), just with sauce poorer over. Had to sent back, no texture, smell or color of fire roasting was there. Baby beets confited salad was ok, nothing special. So we ordered octopus instead and presentation was not there, looked like buffalo sauce poored over chewy octopus, but it was better than cauliflower For main we ordered wild mushroom risotto, bison filet and it was chorizo crusted fish (don't remember which one). Fish was absolutely horrible, risotto was not good, but bison was executed perfectly, from presentation to temperature it was great. Service was good, very attentive at the beginning, but couldn't find them towards the end. I would stop by for a drink here or enjoy good bottle of wine, but wouldn't spend full dinner here, since 5 out of their 10 dishes are less then mediocre.

The prices were a bit high but well worth it. The entrees are phenomenal. The service was great. Atmosphere is great. Highly recommended.

Honestly, out of all the places we visited in Santa Fe this is one I would not recommend. It's a beautiful atmosphere- but thats where it began and ended for a nice experience. There was lots of open seating but the staff seemed put out and annoyed to seat us. It took forever to get our drink order, our appetizer order took even longer. We had plans to eat here but the unfriendly staff, poor service and just unwelcoming vibe prompted us to call the La Fonda to eat dinner there instead. Every single place we encountered in Santa Fe whether a store, restaurant, wine bar, coffee bar everyone was so kind and friendly- not this place. Disappointing.

Pork belly, pork belly, pork belly! Try the pork belly appetizer. It absolutely melts in your mouth! I had the ribeye for my entree....it was a beautifully crafted plate, BUT it was very difficult to eat it all with those dang potatoes on my plate. I do not know what pieces of heaven they put in the potatoes, but holy moly they were delicious. The steak was amazing too! My daughter had the Southwest Chicken Nachos. Her mound of food was just as tasty as mine. It was HUGE! She said it was the best guacamole she's ever had. We had a slice of cheesecake for dessert. Yummy! The restaurant was beautiful and the service was top notch! If you are looking for a quiet night out with Santa Fe vibes, this is your place!

Lovely spot with upscale, cozy vibe in the heart of Santa Fe. All the people watching, live violinist, amazing cuisine, posh atmosphere and all around fun vibe. Would recommend!

We went here after it being recommended by family. The happy hour food was just ok. The slider buns were hard and fries had hardly any truffle on them. The nachos were good and the prices for martinis were good so those are pros. We were in town for the night with our 5 month old and when I went to the restroom to change him, there's no changing table! I asked the front desk if they have one in another restroom and he said no. The ambiance is cool, service was fine, but I won't be going back.

The food quality almost matched the prices...you get what you pay for but in this case it doesn't quite match. The room is beautiful and comfortable. Our service was very good...four star. We called for 6:30 reservations but was asked if we could make 6:45. No problem but the place was only 20% full...I'm puzzled.

Recommend! The plus side: great bar and dining experience, fun vibe, and great service. The flip side is pricey for supermarkets wines (e.g., decoy Pinot 2020 for $18/glass), and the cheese plate had stale cheeses that were not edible or interesting (e.g., cheddar was not edible). Overall, the pros of experience and service will overcome the short comings of quality.

Lorilee (spelling?) makes killer margaritas...let me tell you. Great atmosphere and quality drinks. Sat at the bar and had a Casa Noble signature Paloma drInk. Fiancé had a margarita as well. I thInk Santa Fe must have one of the highest tequila consumptions in the U.S. any city that has a "Margarita Trail" as an adventure is a city for us! We did not stay here - noticed their check-in was pretty cool though with hot cIder for guests and homemade chocolate chip cookies in a jar by the couch. I was tempted ...believe me! Super experience at the bar and their menu looks AMAZING!!

I absolutely, 100% do not recommend this restaraunt. I ate here on Thursday night after checking in to this beutiful hotel, and was sorely let down. The chilean sea bass I ordered had no flavor whatsoever and was just blah. It came with a sauce on the side, that was watery and tasteless. The prices were in line with any other high end expensive restaraunt, the only difference was that the food was poorly prepared, flavorless, and not worth it. Do not waste your time or your money on this establishment, trust me.

Would not recommend this establishment due to extremely poor customer service. Server was rude and didn't seem focused on helping customers whatsoever. If you do not have +2 hrs to dine, skip this restaurant. Giving two stars for ambiance and the cocktails

Super busy but the bartender took great care of us! Great selection of drinks and small but varied lunch menu. Meals are spot on!!

We had a wonderful experience! We came for dinner and ordered the sea bass and roast chicken. Both were perfectly cooked and the flavors were fantastic. The wine list is amazing as well as the service. Highly recommend!

Service was fine but food came out a little slow and prices were high, but the food was very good. We had the enchilada and the beef medallions. Both were very good. Beef medallions melt in your mouth. Also enjoyed the skinny margarita and the silver coin margarita. Both very good. Just high dollar. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful.

Expensive but good. The interior of this place is gorgeous. The margaritas were very good and the enchiladas very tasty as well.

From the outside I had no idea how beautiful this hotel & restaurant were! We went in for a late lunch. The steak tacos and burger were some of the best around! We would definitely go back!

Beautiful setting. Had delicious cocktails and a yummy cheeseboard. It was the perfect setting for our first night in chilly Santa Fe!

After several days in Sante Fe, I was finally able to get a reservation at Anasazi.....for lunch. So glad it was lunch! Hands down, the best meal thus far. A little early for the margarita, but tasted almost healthy with fresh cucumber, lime and watermelon juices! If it is on the menu, you must try the "Open Faced" Ruby Red Trout sandwich. The combination of red chiles and ground almonds dusting the trout was perfectly balanced. Add the shishito peppers, grilled heirloom tomatoes and blistered avocados and you truly have Southwestern Art on a plate! Divine!

Great food, good service, a little bit pricey cozy place, it's a good idea to make reservations

Arrived 40 minutes prior to *published* closing and was told they were not open to patrons not staying at the hotel. Of note, I was not asked if I was eating or only getting a drink; which, if I was eating could be justified by the kitchen possibly being closed. For a "higher end" establishment to be turned away over a half hour before they close seems unacceptable.

What a great restaurant. Food, cocktails and servers were great. Awesome atmosphere! Very enjoyable

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! My son was not very hungry so we did a few appetizers, sort of a tapas type of night. Started with the Octopus which has to be the best I have ever had. I thought Torino's had the best, but this even topped that dish. It must marinate or get brined for a long time; tender, flavorful and a dish I will order again. Next was the soft shell crab followed by the Gnocchi in a venison bolognese sauce. No complaints here. Both dishes were outstanding. Service was friendly and very attentive. Sitting outside having tapas and wine was a great way to spend a Friday night in Santa Fe. If anyone wants a great and luxurious evening out I would recommend going to the Anasazi Restaurant. It was a treat!

Sat at the bar, female bartender was excellent! Had two different margaritas but my favorite was the Serrano infused tequila one. We ordered the octopus, nachos and cauliflower. Each of them were outstanding!

Visited on Taco Tuesday so limited menu. Decor is contemporary Southwestern. We had four tacos which were all very good(Asada, Pescodo and Cameron-only 1 shrimp) to great (Pastor). Complementary chips came with : sauces, pico de gallo, marinated raw green pepper and onions, and fresh lime. Tres leches desert was ample for two and delicious; highlight was toasted almonds and moist cake). Server was too serious for my taste but very competent.

I ate there with my wife. We started out w the Heirloom Tomato Salad which was the best thing we ate although the Dijon vinaigrette had zero flavor. For the entrees she got the sliders which were ok. I got the grilled octopus on the recommendation of the Manager(?) which was supposed to have chorizo for the spice & flavor. It also had white beans. The octopus was tepid, unflavored, & I didn't see any chorizo. The beans were on the hard side & not tender at all. As sides we got risotto & patatas bravas which should have had a spicy sauce on them. They did not & were more like simple fried potatoes. The risotto had no flavor either. Not a good night on the food side at all. Consider somewhere else until they get their kitchen right. We've had much better food there before.

Incredibly rude management. Michaela in the restaurant should reconsider a career in hospitality if she feels it's appropriate to be as rude and dismissive to patrons as she was tonight. The staff is clearly overworked and poorly trained. There are alternative options that are better run only steps away. Unfortunately, this property is a stain on the Rosewood brand.

Amazing food and service! I will definitely be back and with friends! Definitely have a patron for life!

Great gem of a bar in a cozy and inviting hotel lobby. Located inside the Inn of Anasazi just steps from the Santa Fe plaza in the heart of downtown. Excellent selection of wines and cocktails plus apps and a full dinner menu. We only sat at the at and enjoyed the drinks and apps. Bartenders were friendly and ready to serve. Inside is warm and casual.

Do not expect a call back to make reservations. Tried multiple times and left multiple messages for a tequila tasting. Abhorrent behavior on the part of the bar manager. I expected much better based on the recommendations we received from friends.

What a creative mix of southwestern flavors and a phenomenal wine list. Our food was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend the pozole verde and my husband loved his lamb chops's. We will hopefully return

Found this gem while wandering around the historic district. Delicious salumi and cheese plate to start. Followed by the halibut and beef medallion entrees. Both were excellent! Would definitely eat here again! Only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars was the chocolate brownie dessert: it was dry and cake-like, not fudge-y like it should be.

We stopped in after a shopping adventure at the Plaza. We ordered a quick lunch and we were disappointed in the quality. Decor is interesting but the food was bland and uninspired. The soda's were served in a can but we did get glasses of ice to pour them over. Can't recommend a repeat visit. The service was good.
