Lambert's Of Taos

This would have been a 5-star experience, but it went down at the end. Our server was super chilly and sweet. She was very attentive for the first hour and 1/2. After that we were almost ignored by her, as she took care of larger and more lucrative parties. The manager came up, but why couldn't she take our bill? We sat there for a 1/2 hour. In my book there is no Taos Time in expensive restaurants. There is a standard of service that should be maintained without excuses. The mushroom Bisque was brilliant, the steak was good, the flavors all well, but I expect that I was consistent and all the way through just as I was at the beginning. Not disturbing dressing on, there were jeans and ski vests here as in most places (which is cool and not cool) service is important and you can lose the reputation on this alone, even if the food is good. Desserts were huge! Would I go back? I haven't decided yet (and yes, we buy land in the area, so I'm not just a tourist or touron).

We arrived on Monday without reservations and sat in the bar where we received excellent attention and service from our server Danielle. Deb had done a fillet mignon to their specifications that led to their satisfaction. I had a tartare small plate and a small plate truffle fries that we divided, although it was so big, it was almost hard to finish. Almost. There followed a desert called Bowl of Bliss. Warm infusion spread over caramelized apple slices, covered with vanilla ice cream with toffee syrup. Aptly named. We have eaten at Lambert over the years and have always found a great experience. Very recommended.

Nice way to dinner in Taos up at the bar in Lambert's on Bent Street. Got the roasted squash with chicken breast with Southern Style Black Eyed Peas. Fantastic flavors and high-quality ingredients. Reliable, delicious and good service.

Wonderful restaurant! I had the potato leek soup and lobster pasta (cold dish). They have unique dishes here with interesting flavors. Definitely worth a try, but expensive.

Don't eat anywhere else. Phenomenal ambiance. Excellent wines. I care about music and it is mellow and current and surprising, a quiet background. The rooms are broken into cozy separation. And the food. Creative, delicious. Much attention to detail. Gracious, attwntive service. Outstanding dining experience.
