Old Martina's Hall - RANCHOS DE TAOS

The restaurant was decent, with well-prepared food and good specialty drinks (although a bit pricey). There was nothing to complain about, but also nothing particularly outstanding. I might have enjoyed it more if there had been music or entertainment that night.

We had made reservations on OpenTable for a Monday night and travelled from Santa Fe. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the restaurant, we discovered that they are closed on Mondays. I called the restaurant a few days later to inform them of the mix-up, and they mentioned that they do not use OpenTable, despite still being listed on the website. However, there was no apology for the inconvenience of our wasted drive or gratitude for our call.

My guest and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner of proscuitto wrapped shrimp and crab, a creamy cheese risotto, carrots and broccolini. It was wonderful and very light, basil cream sauce. Our salads were quite large and fresh. We enjoyed are margaritas blood orange. We were too full for dessert. Our table had a view of the San Francisco de Assisi Mission Church. The staff was friendly, as usual, and very attentive.

It was a slow night, so we had the entire dining room to ourselves for the entire meal. Terrific burgers, crab stuffed shrimp and carne adovada. Outstanding in every way, and a very pretty place.

Service was fast, meals were small. Ribs were not that good. Prices listed on website were less than what was in menu. Actually went to Ally Cantina for nachos and margaritas afterwards.
