Food<\/strong>:  Mmmmmmm.  Full course Italian dinners<\/a> are available (each course a la carte) and everything sounded fabulous.  We opted for a more abbreviated, less bloated dinner.  Margie had a nice carpaccio antepasta, while I had a Caesar Salad (listed as a house specialty, but only nice, not great).  We skipped the terribly tempting pasta course, and went straight to the “second” entrees.  Margie had a rib-eye steak which was flavorful-to-die-for (and huge); I had the osso bucco (because, really, given the choice, how could I not?) which was melt-in-your-mouth savory and sweet.<\/p>\n

Yum.<\/p>\n

There was a long wine list<\/a> — mostly Italian (red and white) but with various Californian (more expensive), too.<\/p>\n

Service<\/strong>:  We got there around 6:30p on a Wednesday, and were promptly seated.  Waitstaff scurried about, and everything appeared quickly, was taken away quickly, and\/or was dealt with quickly.  Friendly and professional.<\/p>\n

Ambience<\/strong>:  A pretty little dwelling in downtown Santa Fe, done up nicely.  There was also patio seating (which we didn’t ask for, as thunderstorms were a-brewin_.<\/p>\n

Prices<\/strong>:  Dinner — entrees plus one extra course each, plus a bottle of house wine — set us back $120.  I didn’t feel cheated, but didn’t think we were getting any particular bargain.  A same-vintage same-location Silver Oak that was $95 at El Nido was $125 here.  Didn’t feel things were priced extravagantly, and no complaints about food or portion, but the prices weren’t any bargain, either.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/strong>:  It’s not tops in any of the guide books, but I could easily visit here multiple times and have something different each time (and almost certainly enjoy it).  A nice experience.<\/p>\n
