By far the best restaurant that we had the pleasure of trying in Santa Fe. Each dish blew us away. The plating was gorgeous and the flavors hit deep. We loved this meal so much. The service was also stellar. Thanks for the amazing Easter dinner experience!

I canceled three reservations before settling on Martin Restaurant, and I’m so glad I did. I chose it because it wasn't far from the concert I was attending afterward. When I arrived, the small parking lot was full, but I found a spot in the overflow lot down the street. Once inside, the restaurant felt like an old converted house—charming and cozy. The staff was warm and inviting, and I was seated right away for my 5 PM reservation. I didn’t realize it was Restaurant Week, so the menu was a well-curated but limited selection from their usual offerings. The service was impeccable, with perfectly timed courses, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I’d love to come back and treat my parents to a wonderful dining experience. 10/10!

Had a great night at the restaurant, this was my second visit. It is fine dining and more pricey than other local places, they’ve won multiple awards for their dining. This visit I was satisfied of course but not quite blown away. The main I had was the special which was the blue nose bass, this is the first time I’ve had this dish but I did like it, the ‘sea foam’ presentation was on point. Other photos in the picture is the tenderloin and the ceasar salad.

Restaurant Martin in Santa Fe is a hidden gem that offers a truly special dining experience. The atmosphere is both elegant and relaxed. From start to finish, the service was attentive and friendly, making you feel well taken care of. Every dish was amazing. I tried the special which was the Sea Bass, which was absolutely divine. The dish was rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Another standout was the Black Angus Prime Beef Tenderloin. It was tender, juicy, and beautifully complemented by the Yukon Gold potato-bacon paillasson and mushroom-bacon duxelle. The flavors were so well balanced, and the presentation of each dish felt like a work of art. So we had to take photos. Their menu offers a variety of creative dishes that showcase local ingredients with a modern twist. Every bite was crafted with care and precision, leaving you excited to try the next course. It is a must stop if you go to Santa Fe, for a nice quiet and delicious experience.

The food is the star,but the service made the experience. It was personable and informative but not overwhelming. The atmosphere was the cherry on top. Comfortable and authentic. Recommend and will be back.

What a great location for our special night out. A perfect evening from start to finish. Beautiful patio. Great service. And the best duck I've ever had. My wife's salmon was equally amazing. Cooked to perfection. The scallops that came with her salmon tasted like they came straight from the ocean.

Restaurant Martin was a delightful stop on my road trip. It was a much needed moment of comfort. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The flavor combinations of their dishes here felt both familiar and new all at the same time. I highly recommend giving this spot a try if you want a nice cozy date night, or just want to have something a bit fancier to eat than a normal night out.

Our group of five all enjoyed our beautifully prepared and delicious dishes : maple leaf farm duck breast, salmon with scallops, organic chicken breast, asparagus and shrimp appetizers …. I only wish we had an appetite for dessert! The staff was friendly, warm and welcoming. We sat outside in the magical covered patio with thunder and lightning around us. We were offered blankets and inside seating but we were thrilled with the ambience, good vibes, and delectable food and drinks. Hats off the Chef Martin and his crew! Thank you for our most memorable and delicious night in Santa Fe!
