    This was a wonderful way to finish a great time in Santa Fe. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and off the charts food. I only gave 4 stars because my dish was a bit underwhelming after amazing appetizers and tasting everyone else’s. (I got Sea Bass in Green Mole which was just ok.—Scallops and squash ravioli were both divine as was the Chile Morita Mexican White Prawn appetizer!)

    We sat at the bar counter and it was a fantastic experience. You could chat with the chefs and see how they cook everything and see what’s the most popular. We choose the lobster and my husband had the elk. It was some of the most tender pieces of meat he has ever had! The drinks are dangerously. Great margaritas with different types than we have had before. It is expensive but so worth it. Don’t miss their Mac and cheese. It’s divine!

    This is our favorite place to go in Santa Fe. I know there are more popular places, with more accolades, but we've been to those places too and I think it's all hype. And clearly that hype has gone to that cowboy's head. Anyway, this review isn't about that. Every time we go to CC, we are greeted warmly, if it's a special occasion, they mention it and offer even more wonderful hospitality. The food and service are wonderful and so are the drinks. Coyote Cafe is doing it right and they know how to treat people. This place never disappoints!!!

    Great service from our waiter and the manager. We tried a different dinner choice between the six of us and each was very well done.

    My wife and I were expecting a wonderfully delicious meal, and the staff at Coyote Cafe did not disappoint! Our appetizer was magnificent, my “elk”, which I had never tried before was crazy good, and the staff was very attentive without being over bearing! Great restaurant! Highly recommended.

    Nice facility. U have 2 walk up spiral staircase to access. Appetizers and desserts were great. I had the elk and my wife had the wild boar for entrees. The elk and sauce were fantastic. My wife didn't eat mire than two bites of the boar stating that it had a strange taste. Maybe it's an acquired taste. Service was ok. Place was very busy (pne of very few open on Christmas Day so it appeared service had a problem keeping up.
