SPIRITED DINING AND DRINKS IN SANTA FEIn 1882, Abraham Staab, a European immigrant who became one of Santa Fe’s most prosperous merchants, built a Victorian mansion on property that now belongs to La Posada.

    We stopped by to have drinks and nibbles. I had not been there in some years - “the bucking bull” was still there at that time. What a delightful change. We sat at the bar in extremely comfortable stools, and enjoyed our drinks and nibbles, shrimp, ceviche, and fries. The bartenders, the hostess and wait staff were attentive and friendly. We will be back for dinner very soon. Thank you Chef Johnny Vee for your excellent restaurant review in The Reporter.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at TerraCotta. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were so happy to see they have gotten their full alcohol license. Chef Jose is doing a great job and we wish him continued success. We’ll be back.
