Best Seafood Restaurants in Santa Fe

Fabulous Ribeye and, surprisingly, really tasty Thai curry. Our particular waiter wasn’t quite up to the usual standard of hospitality one finds at the Bull Ring, but all of the ancillary staff was fabulous. Prices are high, but in my experience you get what you pay for here. The beef is really some of the best I’ve ever had, the ribeye was like eating dessert, cut with a fork tender and full of flavor.

Service was excellent. The food was delicious and well prepared. The cheese fondue was a great starter. The elk tenderloin with blue cheese bacon crust was outstanding. Highly recommend you give this place try.

This restaurant never fails. Everything was delicious and is one of our favorite places to eat. Lino, the owner is quite gracious, and it shows in his employees attitudes.

Having been long-time fans of Market Steer Restaurant's old location, we approached their new spot with a mix of excitement and curiosity. Could it possibly recreate the magic of our cherished memories of dining just days before Christmas, gazing out the window as snow fell softly outside? Happily, the answer is a resounding yes. The new location is every bit as beautiful as the old, if not more so. The attention to detail in the finishes and the overall design of the space is remarkable. From the moment we stepped inside, the restaurant exuded sophistication and warmth, making it feel both familiar and refreshingly new. The service continues to be one of Market Steer's greatest strengths. Our server and busser were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The server’s recommendations for both the food and the wine list were spot on, showcasing their expertise and passion for creating an exceptional dining experience. As for the food, it surpassed even our fondest memories. The subtle flavors in the salad and soup were perfectly balanced, and the bread—accompanied by a delectable butter—was irresistible. The star of the meal, however, was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to perfection with seasoning that was flawless, it needed no embellishments, though the accompanying blue cheese butter and chimichurri were delicious options. The sides, too, were outstanding, with impeccable portion sizes and flavors that elevated the entire meal. From the restaurant’s exquisite design to the exceptional service and superb food, it’s clear that the owners have poured their hearts into every detail of their business. Their hard work and commitment to excellence are evident at every turn. The only tiny detail that could have elevated the experience even further would have been having our coats ready at the door as we left—an admittedly small and unimportant gesture, but one that would have added an extra touch of hospitality to an already unforgettable evening.

The service is very good from the moment we arrived. Seating in the lounge was comfortable. Our waiter named Dan introduced himself and was pleasant and upbeat. The menu is very interesting and that gave each of us excitement about what to select. We had oysters, polenta, sweet beet salad, steak, scallops, sweet squash, seafood variety on rice, and flan with rum-flavored cream and chocolate mousse favored cake with salt favored caramel ice cream. All of the food was creatively prepared and presented. We were greeted cheerfully by the hostess and thanked by everyone for having dinner there. We expected excellent food, drinks and service, and that’s what the Palace Prime experience was for us tonight. We look forward to another wonderful dinning experience there! Clayton Tanga, Santa Fe
