Horno Restaurant

A visit to Santa Fe should probably include a delicious meal at Horno Restaurant on West Marcy St. I went there because of the amazing reviews and my dinner did not disappoint.I found myself dining alone since my travel companion took ill. I called up to make a reservation on a busy Friday night. The friendly owner found me a seat at the bar. It may have arguably been one of the best seats in the house. The bar and kitchen were bustling. They were fun to watch.The restaurant has a pretty, clean and modern decor. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. I ordered the Pollo Mattone. It's a half chicken prepared to perfection with polenta, mushrooms and broccolini. It was enormous, too, for a petite person like me. As I was resting to see if I could find room for a salad, the bar staff convinced me to try dessert. I had the Banana Parfait. It was awesome. I almost finished it.The drinks looked great. Since I walked over from the hotel and was traveling alone, I opted to go with a Hibiscus Spritzer mock tail which was wonderful and refreshing. No regrets. I texted photos of my meal to family. They want to join me on my next gastronomic adventure through Santa Fe. Thanks Horno for a most memorable dining experience.

First let me start off by saying that the food here is amazing! We started off with the miso vegetables, which my boyfriend and I split and I'm regretting having split them with him because they were so good. I legit debated putting in a second order lol. The veggies that come in this dish are zucchini, eggplant, and mushrooms and it's topped off with mint, basil, and a piñon vinaigrette. I don't even like mushrooms but they were super delish in this dish. We wanted to order a light dinner so we went with salads and all of their salads sounded amazing, it was hard to choose. I went with the roasted beet salad because the dill vinaigrette and tofu feta sounded really good...and it was! The salad was fresh and had an amazing flavor. I wish though, for $13, the portion was slightly larger. All in all though, it was a delicious fresh salad and I would order it again. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was packed and they were on a wait, which is usually a really good sign! They were able to, however, sit us at this little counter by the host stand that I guess it part of the bar. The bartender was responsible for serving us and she forgot about us on numerous occasions. When it came time to cash out, we waited over 20 minutes just for the check to come. This would have been a total 5 star dining experience if the service wasn't mediocre. The lack of service shouldn't deter you from this place though because the food is SO GOOD. Next time I'm in Santa Fe, I will be back here!

It's always a pleasant surprise to visit a restaurant and find that every item you order is consistently delicious (not just the signature or trendy ones). We came here for a nice dinner one night and really enjoyed everything! I was especially impressed by the pork chop, as pork chops are frequently over cooked in my experience, but the one we had here was cooked perfectly and well balanced in seasoning.Street parking can be a bit tricky on a weekend but worth the trouble. Definitely plan to return for small group dinners in the future.Recommend: Grilled Teriyaki Octopus, Grilled Pork Chop, Hanger Steak, Miso Roasted Vegetables, White Sands Negroni

Came here with a group of 16 people and we got a private table in the main room.Good: - Overall the variety of food was really good and the meatball appetizer was super good it came with really grilled bread and a really tasty sauce.- The vegetable dumplings had a really savory and sweet sauce that I enjoyed greatly - The main dish was great but not my favorite compared to the appetizers and the other things that they offered since it was a lot of steak and some of it just was super dry.Bad: - The place was pretty simple, nothing too fancy even in the main living room- I found the cocktails to be a little too sweet- The creme brulee was too sweet for me I took two bites then gave up Overall this was a good experience I liked how much food we got and I was stuffed by the end of the meal.

This was my favorite meal while I was in Santa Fe for a conference. And I had a lot of great meals. It was pretty busy so we were able to get seated at a bar top to get dinner going. The drink was tasty but it did a minute for it to get there. I had the hanger steak and it was incredible, perfectly tender and flavorful. I also enjoyed the sides. My coworker ordered the pork chop and she would recommend it as well.

Second visit. We're so excited to try the octopus. Unfortunately it was a little charred and overcooked. Quite chewy. Pork chop was good. Though I didn't actually have it. My husband said it was. Our server, Sawyer, was an absolute delight. Could not have been more helpful.

Beautiful restaurant for the locals - which means great food, quieter restaurant in terms of noise level and exceptional food. We had focaccia which was served a goat cheese and excellent olive oil. V well done w slight spicy bite. All five of us had great meals. Octopus, black grouper as fish of the day, pork chop and fettuccine w squid and squid ink. All had interesting sides. My pork chop came w farro and vegetables that were v filling. Service was great and no fuss w separate checks. We never felt rushed and the food was well timed. A great night out.

This restaurant was unimpressive. We ordered many things on the menu and overall just were not impressed. The sangria had little wine and flavor. We got the Horno Focaccia with the whipped goat cheese, smoked chicken wings, grilled pork belly tostadas for starters. The whipped goats cheese was delicious but the bread seemed over toasted. The chicken wing flavor wasn't exciting. It tasted like it was just missing another part to the flavor. I enjoyed the tostadas. For the entree I got Leo's smack down burger and my husband got the grilled hanger steak. My burger was fine but wasn't very flavorful. The hanger steak seemed over cooked and again not flavorful. The service was meh. Our server helped us but seemed annoyed at us at times. She may have just been having a bad night but hard to experience as the customer.

One of the best dinners we had in Santa Fe. A fusion of Santa Fe (chili) and Europe (focaccia, fettuccine scallops, sea bass). Great service, upscale and unpretentious. Quiet street, quaint outdoor seating.

I had dinner at Horno this weekend. The food was good, as it has been in the past, though the fish special was quite pricey and very small. What I found regrettable was that after making our reservation, we noticed that they included an end time. We were allotted 90 minutes to eat dinner, which would probably have been enough, but it put a damper on the experience. About fifteen minutes before our time was up, the owner or manager (I'm not sure which) stopped by to ask if we wanted dessert, and when we didn't, the check appeared immediately. I was still eating and had planned to order coffee. Not pleasant feeling like you are being rushed out the door. I will dine elsewhere on my next trip to Santa Fe.
