Always great service, well timed dinner service. Attention to detail was quite good. We would prefer phones not allowed in the dining rooms, as it is distracting to the beautiful atmosphere and food. We do understand it is 2024 and social media is all over. We always enjoy our visits. Thank you.

About the restaurant

Chef Joseph Wrede is a Food & Wine Best New Chef, the winner of several AAA Four Diamond Awards, several DiRoNA Awards and has received both Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast distinctions. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is a creation of Chef Wrede and his creative and business partners. This is the third incarnation of Wrede’s original Joseph’s Table, conceived in Taos, New Mexico, not quite 20 years ago, for which he is well known and loved within the region and beyond. Joseph’s Culinary Pub is designed to be a platform for Chef Wrede’s unique and uncompromising vision on traditional and contemporary cuisine, both regional and international. Regarding the restaurant as a process much like theater, Wrede envisions the experience of dining in his restaurant as an interactive play between the pub and the public, with his sights aimed at rivaling high art.

Our party of four had a wonderful experience today for lunch. Our server was timely, knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. We each had something different, yet delicious. The new winter soup -the chicken one - was fantastic!

What a gorgeous place to go at Christmastime! The entire property is covered in farolitos (luminarias). It’s just gorgeous! The staff there was extremely welcoming and the dining room is so lovely- very Santa Fe chic. The wine list is varied and well priced. We loved our empanadas with chimichurri sauce and the special tuna appetizer. My husband had a Wagyu steak and I got the corvina special. Both perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. We shared the braided churro dessert. An excellent choice- we will be back!

We had a great night. I had a special request on seating and it happened flawlessly. We told our server we were headed to the theater and the timing was perfect. They have a magical way of staging the meal. We had plenty of time with our cocktails and then our fabulous and tasty meal including dessert. Two hours later we left. Reminder… do make a reservation. Two couples before us in line did not have one and while they were able to seat them in the bar, it seems to be so much easier to simply reserve.

The staff was great, my Waygu beef was too salty. Need to back off on the rub.
