Sazón - Santa Fe

Cattle herding entry to the building. Food is very rich and overpriced. Soup of the day was the best item. Eggplant dish was uneventful and lacking in seasoning. The branzino dish was extremely sweet and overwhelming. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes: Sopa De Amor, Stuffed Eggplant, Cholula

Called multiple times over 3 days in an attempt to secure a table for the tasting menu, no one ever answered the phone. Would have loved to experience Sazon, and may try again if we are ever back in Santa Fe, but definitely unimpressed at this point. Very doubtful about the level of in-person service when phone reservations are required but no one bothers to answer. Service: 1

Omg, an absolute wonderful experience! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Potentially the best fine dining option in Santa Fe. A delicious variety of mole driven dishes that proudly put their cultural influences front and center while also retaining a familiar feel for those who might be new to this type of cuisine. Given the quality of the food, the atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious and somehow both cozy and vibrant, featuring a variety of stunning artwork, warm colors, wooden beams, and quirky accents. Service is a standout the staff is passionate and knowledgeable, but also approachable and attentive. The owner/head chef makes a concerted effort to check in on you and make sure your experience is a memorable one. Only small qualm: the sopa de amor was a bit overhyped. Skip it for the mole sampler platter, Brussels, and the truly spectacular zucchini blossoms (they were a special, but they were so good I think they should be made a regular menu item if feasible). Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Duck Breast, Mole Sampler Platter, Zucchini Blossoms

Hard sales job by enthusiastic staff, but execution was not great. Only dish I would go back for was the soup with crab. Drinks super strong. Price per person: $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
