Geronimo

I took a trip to New Mexico and in my foodie research I stumbled on Geronimo which offers a tasting menu that allows you to select your choices or a pre fixe vegetarian friendly option. The vegetarian choices are also available to purchase a la carte. They asked not to take pictures inside the restaurant but my choices below.The provide you with a complimentary cocktail upon seating, I wasn't drinking so the bartender made me a mocktail version. It was tasty. They also provide you with a bread tray with different varieties and house made butter.Now for dinner. I selected the following:1st - lobster bisque, big chunks of lobster and soup was velvety. 5/52nd- miso sea bass ramen, the filet was delicious, loved the flavors, ramen was ok. 4/53rd- German chocolate cake, very rich, and the whole plate was edible. Delicious desert. 5/5

*4.5 star overall rating*I was quite happy to squeeze in a reservation at Geronimo before my Santa fe trip came to an end. I sat at the bar for my reservation. Both bartenders provided excellent service but surprisingly neither told me their names. For starters, I got their Arborio rice risotto: lobster, rock shrimp, kings crab leg & lobster beurre blanc. My bartender was spot on when she said that the rice risotto was minimal coz all that seafood dominated the plate and it did. The soup you see is my bartender's complimentary offering of Wild mushroom & sherry bisque: this has to go down as the *best* mushroom bisque I had in 2024. For my entree, I had their maple-black pepper roasted pork shank: mile mushrooms, brandied demi-glace & baby greens with garlic mashed potatoes. As large as the pork looks, I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it but I did without being overly full. Didn't even need my knife as the pork pieces came right off with my forking! The bartenders did an amazing job with my bourbon negroni cocktail. I had their meyer lemon crepe dessert: Lemon curd, creme fraiche & limoncello. It was a nice dessert although I was expecting something a bit more exciting. Overall, this was an amazing fine dining meal and I will return to Geronimo for sure.

We had a wonderful dinner here with family. The staff were top notch, from the welcoming, fun and friendly valet to our waiter, Jay who was a smart foodie and provided excellent recommendations for our choices. We all got something different and all loved our choices. The desserts were spectacular and visually stunning. Make sure you save room! We especially liked the no small children and no cell phones recommendation which provided for a lovely evening of conversation and a stellar meal. The only thing I would suggest is that if you get hot easily, to ask to not be seated by the fireplaces since they are uncomfortably warm. No pics, since they ask for no cell phones, but the food and presentation were perfect.

I was visiting Santa Fe from LA and asked my Airbnb host about restaurant recommendations. He suggested this place for fine dining. So on my last night I decided to check it out. Made a reservation for 445 pm for counter seating. I'd have preferred a table but guess since I was a solo diner it had to be the counter. I was worried about parking but they had free valet parking which was nice. I got there before the valet was open so just parked and waited until he got there to give my keys. He walked me into the restaurant which I thought was very nice. When I walked in I was greeted by the host and she took my coat to store it. Then walked me to the bar. Seats were actually pretty spacious. No one was next to me but had there been there was space not to feel crowded. I ordered the canyon road sunset from the cocktail and it was very good. Then I had the risotto. Some of the best I've had. I wanted to lick my plate but didn't want to appear uncouth so I refrained. I was also brought out an amuse bouche that was mushroom sherry soup and it was tasty as well. For my entree I had the lamb. It was cooked perfectly. I wanted full so didn't order dessert but I was brought out a complimentary scoop or sorbet. Overall I had a great meal and would return. Once I left the valet brought me my car. It was already warm. Even the seat warmers were on. Great service and great food. Not inexpensive but worth it.

If you are looking for an exquisite meal, in a beautiful romantic setting, with superb service... Geronimo has got you covered. From the sweet welcoming hostess, to our last goodbye, we couldn't have asked for more. My sea bass was one of the tastiest most eye-appealing dishes I have ever had!! I would recommend Geronimo for a special occasion dining, because it's not inexpensive, but IMO worth it!!!

Fine dining w great service. This gem on Canyon serves excellent, well thought out and executed food. I always evaluate the restaurant based on the category, in this case fine dining. Cocktails are pricey at $25 but also really delicious. Some cocktails have cute names and odd ingredients and an odd taste to match - not Geronimo. We sat at the bar and our service was prompt. I have sat at bars as a lone diner at similar restaurants and felt I needed to have a medical emergency to get attention or pay. Not here. The bar staff were quick, professional and gave great recommendations. We had the mushroom special appetizer in a lemon butter. Yum. Sea bass on a bed of grains w bok choy was perfectly seared, well cooked, flakey and not dry. Wonderful accompanying sauce. For dessert, pistachio cheesecake and Meyer lemon crepe - Meyer lemon curd w heavy whipped cream on light crepe w crispy edges. Beautiful to behold and even better to eat! A must for your visit to Santa Fe.

Great dinner in the bar! Beautiful room and the food and wine was outstanding. The service was even better. Always a treat!

Amazing food and service, romantic atmosphere. You won't be disappointed!The sea bass, lobster bisque, and seafood risotto were all on point

Absolutely worth the hype for one of Santa Fe's fine dining establishments. The setting is just idyllic - Cute adobe style building on canyon road with the coziest interiors, dimmed lighting, lit fireplaces, and INCREDiBLE art pieces to marvel at, so good that I had to walk around the restaurant to see the others. Service exceeded all expectations, beginning with complimentary valet service. Our waiters were very knowledgeable and professional, quick with the service and always checking on us without being bothersome. Depending on how busy the night gets, they sometimes only have one service earlier in the evening. We came on Monday night at 6pm and by time we left around 730 all the tables were full. Reservations are a MUST. Food is absolutely outstanding, with a robust menu it will be hard to choose. The special appetizer was a pasta with braised pork that was a perfectly sized portion for one. I wish they offered it as an entree. We also had a Wasabi Cesar Salad with freshly made croutons that are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best salad I've ever had - so good that I will go back just for another. For my main, I enjoyed the Elk Tenderloin which was served medium rare on a bed of cheesy, bacon mashed potatoes and some veggies. Amazing! Elk can be quite gamey but the flavor was quite soft. Overall an excellent, dare I say must-eat experience not to be missed.
