Izanami never fails to produce the best food we've ever experienced in Santa Fe. We have returned year after year. They just keep getting better. From the innovative cocktails, to the best sashimi, ribs, salads, and more - they have something for everyone.

The vegetarian Prix Fix with the wine paring option was wonderful. Each course was perfectly matched with the wine and was the right portion size. The wait staff was very professional and friendly. The valley parking was a bonus.

About the restaurant

Opened in 2006 by 8 time James Beard Award Nominee, Chef James Campbell Caruso.
La Boca has the feel of a lively European wine bar, featuring an extensive selection of carefully chosen Spanish wines and Sherries. Chef Caruso's Modern Spanish Cuisine is inspired by the exuberance of Spanish cooking combined with fresh, local ingredients. La Boca has been called "the most influential restaurant in Santa Fe" by the Pasatiempo Magazine and the New York Times describes the menu as "modern re-inventions of classic Spanish cuisine" Knowledgeable and animated staff graciously guide guests to the perfect wine to complement their meals. La Boca also prides itself on being an ambassador of Spanish sherry culture, transporting its guests to Jerez in the crisp cool flavors of Fino, or the deep fig-essence of a Pedro Ximenez.

This was our first time here and we had a great dining experience. Our server was attentive and was able to answer all our questions. We had Negroni and Cava with our tapas. We started with two selections, olives and shrimp. Then ordered the grilled artichokes and skirt steak. They were fantastic, we will be returning. Reservations recommended.

Always a wonderful night out. The Elk was excellent as was the Duck, caesar salad, and the carpaccio. Service was excellent as well. We have so many great restaurants in Santa Fe and this is one of the best!

About the restaurant

Originally from Mexico City, Chef Fernando Olea, formerly Chef of Epazote, has been enthralling diners in Santa Fe since 1991. Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world. His menu is deliberately small, featuring fresh and locally sourced produce and meats when possible.

Nothing evokes the mystery of Mexican cuisine more than mole, a sauce of complex flavors that usually includes toasted and ground spices, seeds, nuts, chocolate and chile. Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009. The large mural in the main dining room, was painted and presented to Chef Olea by Federico Leon De La Vega, a well- known artist from Mexico City.

Our first dinner at Market Steer’s new location. The ambiance is refined, comfortable, warm, welcoming. The tasteful holiday decorations added charm. Service was superb. Every member of the team was engaging, thoughtful, helpful, attentive. The service ethic is quite a notch above even the most heralded establishments in town. Excellence all around. The food was amazing…from the amusing and delicious onion rings, to superb starters and salads, and perfection in the New Mexico cut prime grade beef. Just delicious, served hot and precisely to order. The wine list is extensive, varied, and a real treat for lovers of exceptional wine. The Sommelier was engaging and attentive and didn’t dismiss us when we exhibited our ability to select a wine for ourselves. We’re so happy for the team at Market Steer…we cannot wait to return for another extraordinary evening.
