    We love this restaurant!! They serve the lunch menu until 4pm which is perfect for us. Pro tip: park in the lower parking lot if you’re dining during prime hours, free shuttle is always available. There is nothing on the menu we wouldn’t recommend. Go go go!!!

    Overall decent experience. The service kind of forgets about you multiple times throughout and the timing of food became a little painful. Some items came out in 5 minutes, others took almost an hour. Flavors were very good and the sake flights were awesome!

    This is our third time to Izunami and we probably will not go back. My husband had the wagyu steak. It was cooked perfectly but extremely bland. I had the short ribs and for $32 it was not a lot and also ok taste wise but nothing special. Our appetizer was excellent crispy rice with tuna on top. We had a sake flight also good. I find the menu hard to understand and poorly laid out. Not sure what are appetizers hot/cold etc. For the money there may be better choices in Santa Fe. For two people $230

    Izanami has always been out #1 dining spot for special occasions. We dined there last night and overall, it was a good experience but with some disappointments, primarily that may sea bass was served at room temperature --at best. When I pointed it out to Iris, our waitress, she just shrugged it off. Understandably, it was a busy pre-holiday night but the service, too, was not as attentive as has been customary.

    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.
