Best Restaurants for Groups in Bernalillo

We visited Vernon’s on Friday and our dinner experience was amazing. My husband always enjoys the lamb chops with the Demi glaze. I had the  filet mignon and it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection! My daughter had the shrimp scampi and she enjoyed it so much. Our server was very attentive and recommended the bread pudding for dessert and I’m glad he did it was delicious. We will definitely be revisiting soon.

The food and service were wonderful. One of the Wine & Dine features ran out quickly. At first, I was very disappointed. Chef Myles saved the day because he created a new seafood dish that was similar and quite delicious. Francesca was our delightful server. She can deliver bad news and make it good. Prairie Star has a great team.

Coyote Cafe is a staple in our Santa Fe restaurant rotation. Every meal we’ve had there has been excellent. New Year’s Day was no exception (even though we were still full from our New Years Eve dinner lol). Started with the kampachi and then I had the sea bass and my husband had the elk tenderloin. I opted for wine by the glass instead of bottle (see NYE comment above) and the server recommended a wonderful, minerally white that perfectly complemented the fish. We’ll definitely be back!

We chose to dine at Blade's Bistro with our daughters who were visiting from out of state, even though it had been a while since my wife and I had patronized the establishment. We were met by a very friendly young lady who promptly seated us at a table set for three instead of four as reserved via Open Table. She quickly remedied the issue. Our waiter, Nick, introduced himself and set us off on a dining experience we will not soon forget. He displayed great humor, had good banter with the table and was so knowledgeable of the menu items and specials for the evening. He even talked us through the NM liquor options available for drinks. From the appetizers to the main courses ordered through the deserts, everything was excellent! I highly recommend Blade's for a wonderful night out.
