Unfortunately, we were seated next to a very loud table. However, it was NYE, so they’ll get a pass. My husband had the snapper with a house salad, I enjoyed the spinach salad and the trout, and our son ordered the steak. Very enjoyable, with a lovely bottle of champagne. Service was great - without being intrusive, out server was never MIA. We’ve been to Santa Fe Bistro before, and we’ll be back again.

Celebrated New Year’s Eve dinner here. It did not disappoint! Everything about it was perfect! The owner even came to our table to make sure our experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Really comfortable atmosphere indoors. Looks like their patio will be great once warmer weather returns. Margaritas were very good. The menu included many different choices. We each had something different and all of us liked our choices. We ordered the ahi bowl, the pork chop and the steak fajita. There was a lot of meat, but 4 of the pieces of beef contained gristle. We tried 2 desserts - fruit cobbler and the key lime cheesecake. Both were very good. The cobbler had lots of fruit. The overall service was fast. We had some difficulty getting water to our table, though we asked 4 times. This is minor. We would all go back again.

Fantastic experience at Santa Fe Bistro! Well-run place from all what we could tell. Staff was super friendly, atmosphere was cozy, and the food was AMAZING. The owner came by the table at least twice to check on us and was very attentive to the entire operation, clearing off tables and helping out when needed and making sure the guests had a great experience. Rare to see such careful and helpful attention from management. We were very impressed!

We always have an enjoyable experience at Santa Fe Bistro. The Staff is very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is pleasant—vibrant and busy but never loud. (There’s also a patio area when weather allows). They consistently have a nice wine selection—including some lovely Riojas—that work well with their menu. They have solid draft and bottled beer choices, plus some interesting cocktails. But don’t leave without trying a cup or bowl of their Pozole. It’s the best I’ve had in STL.
