Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Santa Fe

La Boca has been on our list for awhile. It didnt disappoint. There are actually 2 venues at the same location. The entrance on Marcy is a typical Tapas place. Around the "alley" is a dining venue with live music! We opted for the music. Much fun and of course noisy. Tables are set up for 2 diners very close together like NY or Chicago. No white table cloths here. A small bar and a small stage for the guitarist and drummer. Very "village". Loved it. We shared mussels in a delicious coconut sauce with crusted baguette from Sage. Sandy had a Sangria and I had a seasonal dark beer. Then we shared a paella for one. Very filling. Next time we will try other Tapas dishes!

Restaurant 315 is convenient walking distance from the Santa Fe Plaza. The restaurant has alcoves and we were seated in one of these and dinner was very private, We started with cocktails of Sazerac and Pear daisy and both were excellent. My wife had the Branzino which was whole but deboned with the filets put together, It was excellent. I had the Duck which was tender and tasted great, The sauce accompanying it was excellent. We are light eater so we had no other dishes. We were very satisfied with the meal, service and ambiance.

The staff and food were great especially the gentleman who helped me with my glasses

Great experience. Really good food. Loved the focus on locally grown/raised food. Our wine was unique and fascinating. Our server was attentive. What’s not to like?? Took us a while to get there, but we’ll be there many more times, I’m sure.

Everything I have had on the menu is very good! Service is always top notch.
