Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Art District on Santa Fe

Just a limited menu but everything else was perfect

From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for an exceptional experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Casandra, provided some of the best service we’ve ever received—attentive, thoughtful, and truly invested in ensuring we were satisfied with both our meal and overall experience. The food was exquisite, and the presentation was on point. Sangria tasted great. Even as we were leaving, the gratitude from the entire team, including the kitchen staff, was evident. More restaurants should take note of the outstanding hospitality at El Five. We’ll definitely be back!

Rioja has become my preferred spot for Valentine's Day dinner with my girlfriend. The food is par excellence, authentic and always allows for some combination on the plate to make a perfect bite. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. My only real gripe was that it can get rather noisy during peak hours, but I'm not certain there's much anyone can do about that. Overall, the staff does it's utmost to make Rioja one of the best dining experiences I've ever had.

Beautifully curated experience. Top notch staff front and back of the kitchen. Really explained everything to full details to satisfy any foodie's curiosity. This dining experience created memories that i will cherish for years.

The staff made our night feel so special! Thank you for starting us off with anniversary bubbles on the house. Our meal was absolutely delicious. We look forward to making this a tradition.
