Market Steer Steakhouse

Having been long-time fans of Market Steer Restaurant's old location, we approached their new spot with a mix of excitement and curiosity. Could it possibly recreate the magic of our cherished memories of dining just days before Christmas, gazing out the window as snow fell softly outside?Happily, the answer is a resounding yes.The new location is every bit as beautiful as the old, if not more so. The attention to detail in the finishes and the overall design of the space is remarkable. From the moment we stepped inside, the restaurant exuded sophistication and warmth, making it feel both familiar and refreshingly new.The service continues to be one of Market Steer's greatest strengths. Our server and busser were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The server's recommendations for both the food and the wine list were spot on, showcasing their expertise and passion for creating an exceptional dining experience.As for the food, it surpassed even our fondest memories. The subtle flavors in the salad and soup were perfectly balanced, and the bread--accompanied by a delectable butter--was irresistible. The star of the meal, however, was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to perfection with seasoning that was flawless, it needed no embellishments, though the accompanying blue cheese butter and chimichurri were delicious options. The sides, too, were outstanding, with impeccable portion sizes and flavors that elevated the entire meal.From the restaurant's exquisite design to the exceptional service and superb food, it's clear that the owners have poured their hearts into every detail of their business. Their hard work and commitment to excellence are evident at every turn.The only tiny detail that could have elevated the experience even further would have been having our coats ready at the door as we left--an admittedly small and unimportant gesture, but one that would have added an extra touch of hospitality to an already unforgettable evening.Market Steer has once again proven why it's one of our favorite dining experiences, delivering one of the best meals of the year. We can't wait to return!

My date i went here 12/12 for birthday dinner and cocktails. Our first time eating here. Dinner reservations were at 5:45. The team and Marcos were terrific!! Their meal was superior!! Thank you so much. See you soon!Jessie and Tom

The ambiance and location are definitely the highlights of this spot--very inviting and well-designed. However, the service took a while to pick up, though the staff were friendly and helpful once things got moving.The food was good, but frankly overpriced. The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from instant mix with an overwhelming amount of butter. Our total bill came to $500 for four adults, which included a bottle of wine and six cocktails. While we had an enjoyable time, the price didn't quite match the quality of the food. I would recommend it for the atmosphere, but be prepared for the steep prices.

We'll never know. We planned on meeting for HH, and our son & wife went in to secure a table while my wife and I parked the car. They wouldn't seat them till the entire party was present. So when my wife and I walked in the door 5-7 min later, the last couple tables in the bar were given to others. So be forewarned, they have the policy that the entire party must be present before seating...maybe we''ll try again next trip to SF.

Poor service at the bar. Avoid it, lame service,and the feeling is we don't need you. Let's see if that is true in the long run.

Market Steer was absolutely delicious! You must come to this location before they move. I have it on good authority that they will be leaving this location for another one by March.Every single dish was delectable, from the appetizers to the desserts and everything in between. We ordered tons of food and loved each dish. The stand out sides were the Brussels sprouts, the creamed spinach and the green chile risotto. The steaks were perfect, and my New Mexico cut was the best I've had in this state. Our server was fantastic, and very funny. The sommelier Tyler was great, and so was Leevee, another server, who made it a point to keep our table fresh and neat. The ambiance and decor is gorgeous.

My husband and I made reservations to eat in the outside domes which was an amazing experience and quite romantic. The domes include blankets, a heater, and a Bluetooth speaker to connect your phone to. You must email [email protected] to make your reservations and they hold $50 a person for the reservation. (Up to 6 people) The service was excellent. And the food was outstanding. We recently moved to NM and this is my first experience where I can say it was a 10/10. If you're in Santa Fe this is a must!

After dining at MSS for dinner this evening, I must log a report that conflicts with many of my fellow Elite Yelpers. With a price point rivaling the great steakhouses in Dallas, Houston, etc., you expect an off the charts performance. MSS fell far short of the mark. So, Wednesday evening, 7:30pm, the restaurant not particularly busy, the stage was set for a spectacular dinner. Appetizer of smoked bone marrow ... way too salty. Not sure what it is about chefs and bone marrow, a thick coating of salt doesn't suit good bone marrow. The toasted bread helped tamper the salt, but it really wasn't that great. For dinner we each ordered the "New Mexico" cut steak ... a very expensive Waygu tenderloin, medium rare. What we were served was steaks barely cooked rare, purple and cold centers (check out the photos). I had a crab cake on mine, my better half got the lobster tail side. Both the crab cake and lobster tail were extremely "fishy," again for the price, you expect fresh, tasty seafood ... the lobster tail was taken away and the charge removed from the bill. My better half's tenderloin was returned to the kitchen and brought back out a few minutes later, half medium rare, half still cold and purple.For sides with dinner we had the chimichurri sauce, both very good. We ordered wine by the glass with dinner, that was good too! We decided to try dessert and an after dinner drink... lemon crème brûlée and a Brandy Alexander... the crème brûlée was just OK, again not tasting really fresh, the drink tasted strong but very milky, and was served "short," glass barely 1/2 full. Both dessert and the drink were sub-par.Some other observations... the restaurant suffered from a real lack of coordination and training of the wait staff... examples, the guy we thought was a waiter who first came to the table and brought water... we ordered wine from him, only to be greeted by our actual waiter 10 minutes later who knew nothing about the wine order. Different folks deliver the food to the table than your waiter, they have no idea what was ordered or how it was to be prepared (hence the delivery of raw $50+ steaks). The waiter was not very attentive, maybe because it wasn't that busy... empty plates and glasses sat on the table for 20-25 minutes, with the waiter and bus staff, and even a couple of mangers passing by multiple times... even when the empties were pushed to the middle of the table, they still sat there! The bus boy who finally came to clear the table after dinner asked "did you save room for dessert," and when we said, what do you have?, the response, "I don't know but I can bring you menus." So, a very disappointing evening, created by a lackadaisical staff that didn't care about the fare being served and a kitchen that didn't prepare good food. For the price tag, our time is better spent elsewhere. We cannot recommend MSS.

Expensive, but possibly the best ribeye I've ever had! Co worker got the tartar cane with ruffles potato chips which was odd. Place was a little extra with switching out your used utensils after each dish. All fancy, lol. I dropped my unused knife waiter said he get me another, told him it was alright as I proceeded to wipe it off on my pants, but he still brought me another. That's some good service.

I should have posted this review sooner, as I was just going to let it go about how awful our experience was, but it has been making me upset since we dined.My family (party of 4) went to the New Year's Eve prix fix, and had HIGH hopes - as we are frequent customers and know how great this restaurant has been in the past. This was our third time at the new location, and it couldn't have been worse.Starters were bland, we had the oysters and the beef carpaccio. Oysters overcooked and rubbery, carpaccio had zero seasoning - not even salt. Was also promised to have caviar - which you needed a magnifying glass to even find.Next were the mains, and we all ordered the rib eye - I mean its a steak house right? I have had the cowboy ribeye prior here and it was melt in your mouth delicious, however on 12/31 - it was tough, VERY undercooked, not seasoned and inedible. After about 3 bites - the rest went in the trash. Desserts were not even memorable and went unfinished. My father, who has never had the joy of a rib eye prior in his life - a usually beautiful piece of meat, has now stated that he will NEVER order one again, and I felt horrible for even suggesting it to him. My assumption is that they brought in lower quality of food to serve a full dining room that evening.Service was mediocre, with our main server telling us constantly how great all the food was prior to ordering, and another server (which we have had before) that I greeted by the wrong name, and she immediately corrected me in a huff/lecture in front of my family - when I was only trying to be nice.After all of this, we were presented with an $800 bill, which we reluctantly paid. We were SO disappointed that a holiday meal we reserved 2 months in advance would be just this awful for such a high cost.Several weeks later, my husband and I dined at Geronimo in the bar, had SUBERB service, SUPERB food for a fraction of the price. So if you are looking for a fine dining experience for a special occasion, I suggest you look well past Market Steer, as it will be quite some time before we got back again - if ever.
