Multiple dates available
You have reserved a true traditional Japanese experience floor seating (with no well under the table for legs). Remove your shoes, and take a step onto our tatami room. A garden window view completes this unique dining experience. This is a unique experience, but it can be challenging for those with limited flexibility. Please let us know in advance if you need to change these reservations, as we will not be able to offer other options upon arrival. Children under 10 are not recommended.

This is where we go when we want to treat ourselves and spend a really special evening with friends or family. It never disappoints. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The food is great and perfect for sharing. We love the yellowtail roll, the fried oysters, the pork ribs - to name only a few. the servers are pleasant, friendly, personable without being intrusive. Secret tip: for some reason it's not on the menu, but they offer sake flights and that's a fun way to try out different ones. Our only problem yesterday, and this was not the fault of the restaurant, was the unruly, extremely shrill, probably drunk group of six people at the neighboring table. It was impossible to converse or even relax. This group should have gone to a bar instead, they were ill-placed in this serene environment and they were super annoying. Fortunately the staff were able to find us a different table and it became a beautiful evening as usual.

Friendly, attentive service. The beautifully presented food was excellent, with great flavor! It came out fresh/warm as mentioned by our server. We enjoyed the view from the window seat. And found the experience pleasant and relaxing! Would highly recommend!

We love this restaurant!! They serve the lunch menu until 4pm which is perfect for us. Pro tip: park in the lower parking lot if you’re dining during prime hours, free shuttle is always available. There is nothing on the menu we wouldn’t recommend. Go go go!!!

Overall decent experience. The service kind of forgets about you multiple times throughout and the timing of food became a little painful. Some items came out in 5 minutes, others took almost an hour. Flavors were very good and the sake flights were awesome!

This is our third time to Izunami and we probably will not go back. My husband had the wagyu steak. It was cooked perfectly but extremely bland. I had the short ribs and for $32 it was not a lot and also ok taste wise but nothing special. Our appetizer was excellent crispy rice with tuna on top. We had a sake flight also good. I find the menu hard to understand and poorly laid out. Not sure what are appetizers hot/cold etc. For the money there may be better choices in Santa Fe. For two people $230
