    We stopped in for happy hour and ordered food from the happy hour menu. It was all very good. The chicken sandwich and Brussel sprouts were particularly excellent. We each had a couple of cocktails which were all very good and raised the bar for cocktails in New Mexico. We can't wait to go back for dinner.

    Chef Angel Franco outdid himself: lovely tuna tartar, the best stuffed quail I have ever tasted, then steak au poivre with incredible yucca fries. He will be turning the menu over soon to some lighter dishes, but if you can, rush in for a meal now. We recently hosted a friend who is a partner in two Michelin star restaurants in San Francisco, and he said that Chef Angel's cooking surpassed both of those. The restaurant was busy but the service seemed effortless. Wonderful drinks from the bar! We look forward to when the outdoor patio opens as well as the lounge and dining room. Five stars!!!!!

    A great spot with an ambience not common to Santa Fe. Nice, dark, traditional steakhouse bar with killer Happy Hour menu. Great drinks, solid wine list, tasty food, and impeccable service. (We usually sit in the bar.)
    Palace PrimeResponded on 11 March 2025
    Hello Sandra! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed everything that we have going on. Thank you for your great review. And we definitely agree that Daniel is FANTASTIC! Looking forward to hosting you again soon!

    Delicious food; fresh oysters and the rib eye for two was perfectly prepared and delicious. Flan dessert is scrumptious. Our server Daniel was great. Had family from out of town with two young children and the restaurant was very accommodating.

    Hello Kathy! Thank you so much for your kind words about the food. We are also glad to hear that you and your family felt welcome and had a great time with us. Looking forward to the next time we get to host you all!

    The service was excellent—-what you would expect from a higher end restaurant in Santa Fe. The psalm Christina is awesome. She really knows her wines. Her pairings for us were excellent. Each of us had something different from the menu. Nothing was less than anticipated. The meats were cooked to perfection. The seafood was wonderfully prepared so that you can still taste what you were eating.. The remodel worked out the noise level in the main dining room. It was enjoyable and a lovely setting we were told about a new bar that’s going in for the summer. We can’t wait to experience that too.
    Palace PrimeResponded on 11 March 2025
    Hello Cupcake :) Thank you for taking the time to send such kind words our way. We really appreciate it and have been working hard at bringing Santa Fe something unique and enjoyable from both a service standpoint and the food! Kristiana is just the best and we are blessed to have her on our team! So glad you had a memorable time with us and we are very much looking forward to hosting you in our new bar this summer!
