Santa Cafe - Thoughts?

[emecca]

My mom, sister, and I are headed to Santa Fe next weekend. I haven't been to Santa Cafe in years, but the menu looks good. Has anyone been there lately? I am also considering Geronimo's, but worried it may be too fancy/expensive.

Don't know when you were last in Santa Fe, but there some new places that are really good and won't break the bank:
Restaurant Martin
Max's
315 Bistro

For lunch or light dinner:
Vinaigrette

Koi has been mentioned on here to quite a bit. 135 W. Palace Ave

Some food for thought...

Ate at both restaurants last weekend with out-of-town visitors; a Saturday lunch at SantaCafe and a Sunday dinner at Geronimo.

Both were as excellent as they've been in the past. Lunch at SantaCafe is a bargain but reliably good. I had the daily "special" omelet. Dinner at Geronimo was pricey (no surprise); ~$300 for four people. One person had a vegetarian entree, two had an elk tenderloin entree and I had a somewhat spicy shrimp dish that is a Geronimo "signature" dish. Worth every penny.
