Restaurants near Santa Fe River Park

This was an excellent if unusual choice to celebrate Valentines Day. We are glad we made the decision. Every dish was excellent and the presentation beautiful. We ate inside in the main dining room which added a bit of "Drama" to the meal. The only thing that could have been better was the heat in the room. I was chilly but they provided a blanket for my wife which worked well. We will certainly be back!!

We went to Julia for Valentines day. The tables had white table cloths and little lamps on each table. The restaurant was full but it was still nice and quiet. I had the. Osso Bucco and my Fiancee had the Strip. Both were very good.

My girlfriend and I went out for Valentine’s Day yesterday, and it was absolutely wonderful. I’ve never felt compelled to write a restaurant review before, but this experience was so exceptional that I had to. As two young professionals, we rarely get the chance to escape for a nice dinner, and this one was worth every moment. The service was outstanding—attentive yet unobtrusive—and ordering was seamless. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was perfect, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. We even struck up a conversation with the couple next to us, and the background music was at just the right volume—audible enough to hum along but never overpowering. For dinner, we started with oysters. I had the filet mignon and lobster, while my girlfriend had the branzino. Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, and she had the profiteroles—both were incredible. A heartfelt thank you to the staff for making it a Valentine’s Day to remember!

Always exceptional. This has to be the best restaurant in Santa Fe! We always enjoy eating here. Staff is very attentive and helpful. It is a real experience. I normally have the Elk and it is always delicious.

We drove to Santa Fe from Albuquerque to try La Boca for Valentine’s Day. As you can assume it was quite packed and the restaurant is not very large, but all of the servers and staff in the restaurant were very attentive and kind. We were talked through the Sherry Flight, and tried the 3 course tasting menu. First course was a soup or salad, so we ordered one of each. The main was a chorizo, goat cheese and chili sandwich, and dessert was a chocolate mousse. The spoon was a little larger for the mousse vessel but it was quite funny trying to figure out how to get everything out of the container. We even made acquaintances with the table next to us. Overall it was a nice time, I’d love to go back on a less busy day!
