   They say you shouldn't visit a favorite restaurant on a holiday...our Valentine's Day visit to Arroyo Vino reminded us of what they do so very well and how difficult it is to be truly excellent, even with tried-and-true menu options. Service was outstanding and given the hustle needed to keep everyone happy on a holiday evening, was really going above and beyond. Starters were a mixed bag...the Lobster Ravioli was delicious and beautiful; the chilled shrimp cocktail was nothing special. For entrees, we chose the Crisp Duck Confit and the (up charged) ribeye steak. There was nothing wrong with the duck entree other than the duck was a bit dried out...flavors were amazing as always. The ribeye, again, was nothing special...the cuts were prepared to order but overly fatty even for a ribeye cut. The frites were a hit. Desserts were excellent...especially the warm chocolate and mint ice cream. Not the best meal I have had at Arroyo Vino, but with breakthrough examples of excellence, we will return when it is NOT a holiday.

   Stellar. The eve before Valentine's Day... a fun evening with delicious food: Winter mushroom tempura and cheese board (with a couple spectacular cheeses we never before knew of), faro & kale salad, and Casablanca tagine. Pecorino wine from Abruzzo). Dessert: oversized profiterole filled with banana/rum creme, topped with chocolate & sea salt.

   Everything was perfect. Johnathon was there when we needed him without being obtrusive. Food was great and the ambiance was conducive to conversation. It was a fun evening.

   Always outstanding. We tried a few things that we hadn't had before at the recommendation of our server and we were thrilled with everything! This place is an absolute gem in the Santa Fe.

   We have eaten here several times, the food and service is always excellent. The menu lists whether each item is Gluten Free or Gluten Free Available which is a nice touch.

    We celebrated my 81st birthday at Arroyo Vino. A total treat! The dinner opened with a surprise peek from Chef at an upcoming special. I won’t spoil the surprise except to say it involves oysters on the half-shell! A quick recap of the meal: Charred Cabbage; Winter Mushroom Tempura; Farro & Local Kale Salad; Grilled Heritage Pork Chop. As always, delicious, innovative, and healthy. Wines recommended by Hannah. Dessert was a culinary reinvention of the iconic 1930s Joe Lowe Co. Creamsicle: unlike the original popsicle with its layered structure, Chef’s creation melds the orange and vanilla into a smooth, creamy ice cream, served with bits of kumquat on top of each scoop. Wow! Alongside dessert, Alia delivered a single candle in a dish of salt, avoiding a possible conflagration with 81 candles. 😁
