Dinner For Two - Santa Fe

Dinner for Two has the BEST Caesar Salad! Their Surf Turf Special included three coconut shrimp, a lobster tail and any choice of meat that is on the menu!! I chose the Filet and it was Amazing!!

Eli is a friendly efficient engaging server. Wine list is very good with about a 200% markup. Some good choices by the glass. Luscious soft butter with truffles accompanies multigrain soft rolls. This is one of the few New Mexico restaurants serving veal. Their meat comes from a ranch in Southern Colorado. I thought the veal Marsala was well cooked at slightly rare, but my husband had to compare it to South Philly so it wasn’t sliced thinly enough for him. It was nice to have oyster mushrooms but the sauce seemed too salty. Tacos Al pastor are tiny but delicious. I made a meal of them with heirloom tomato soup. It was fun to see the Caesar salad and bananas foster made at the tables around the dining room, but I couldn’t be convinced of $15 per person for a salad.

Dinner For Two serves good food and provides excellent service but is overpriced. Seating was too close, we felt like passive dinner mates with people on both sides of us. Lighting was too low; setting the mood is one thing, but dark is not acceptable. Food was good, but portions were small and very expensive when compared to other locations we have visited in the Santa Fe area. We don't mind paying for good food, and a great location. This was simply above the average pricing. However, the people saved the experience! The wait staff were knowledgeable and friendly. The table side preparation presentations were very well done, and the host was right on the money with our table and reservation. Overall I would not recommend. Too bad, since the people working there are exceptional, but they do not dictate pricing and portions.

We loved everything about this restaurant. Food was awesome and waiter was fantastic!

We went for our 30th anniversary. We had a wonderful evening. Cocktails were really good and the pulled pork tacos were quite tasty. Our dinners were both quite good (lobster tails and fillet). I could cut my steak with my fork and it was one of the best fillets I've ever had. We were treated to a delicious slice of carrot cake for desert. Overall a great experience
