We stayed at the resort 3 nights and ate at the Artesian every meal. All delicious, served well, friendly staff, pleasant room. Our dinner server was usually Zack, super great.3 nights in a deluxe room (not in the hotel) with our own kiva fireplace, unlimited soaking in all the pools, an hour of private pool with a roaring kiva, and 16 lovely meals with drinks and desserts (8 meals for 2 people) and we spent well under $2K.I don't understand the reviewers who complain about restaurant prices! Reasonable even if it was not at a resort! The blue corn muffins are complementary with dinner. Gluten free, tender with a faint, pleasant sandiness in the chew. If the restaurant is willing to share the recipe, I would love to have it.The dining room is restored from the original 1916 building with burnished plaster walls and what appears to be original woodwork. The coffered ceiling is probably not original.One negative comment: the dining room (and the whole resort, actually) is hung with paintings by J Bowie Scott, which are perfectly appropriate in the setting. However, the dining room paintings need cleaning. The glass on several of them is spattered with food! Kinda gross, not to mention disrespectful to the artist!

The restaurant was great.. not sure why some people didn't think it was. Had lunch and dinner here - staff was always friendly too! Things tried:- blue corn muffins: these complimentary bite size muffins are so yummy! I wish I had more!- Chile relleno: loved the farm to table vibe of this dish! I do wish there was a bit more cheese, but really like the assortment of veggies that accompanied the dish. - poblano fries: this comes with a vinegar based dip that takes some getting used to, but was really good! Perfect dish to share.- tortilla soup: soup was nice and thick and full of flavor. Highly recommend this dish. - chicken mole: so this dish is ginormous. Literally enough to feed 2-3 people. Flavors were good, just the portion was a bit overwhelming.All in all it's a great restaurant option for anyone with a day pass or staying at Ojo Caliente. Appreciate the variety of dish options and friendly staff.

After soaking in the pools we had a very filling lunch. The dining areas were busy on a weekday which was a solid sign. The staff were attentive, especially Ivan our waiter. The meals were as expected. Try the poblano fries! The dipping sauce was the high point for me.

A friend and I went here for lunch when we were there for the day. Our server was helpful and we gave us a sample of the wine before we ordered it. Our meals were good as well.

Dinner service starts at 5, reservations are required/ recommended. The host and staff onsite were all very friendly and attentive. The dishes were beautifully prepared and the scenery of the restaurant is wonderful. Definitely on the pricey side for NM but the location dictates that.

Juneteenth. Monday, June 19, 2023. Visited here with my wife for lunch. We were taking a break from the nearby hotsprings. The hostess seated us within ten minutes. She sat people, brought them menus, and even refilled water. I told her she needed a raise.We watched as customers seated after us received their orders before us. It took twenty minutes for our order to come. I ordered a cup ($6) of the Tortilla soup. This came with multi-colored tortilla strips and a thick, flavorful broth. Quite hearty. See attached photo. My main dish was the grilled baby gem salad ($14). This featured baby romaine hearts, fried kale, shaved manchego cheese, and lemon-oregano vinaigrette. I paired this with sesame crusted ahi tuna ($8). The tuna had been cooked to perfection and the light texture melted in my mouth. The cheese cubes perfectly complemented the fried kale. A nice light dish after the heavy tortilla soup.This restaurant serves good food, but I wish the service had been faster. Giving three stars because of the lackluster service.

The restaurant is convenient when you're Ojo and get hungry and you can wear your robe unless it's dinner. I enjoyed sitting by the window, watching the snow. The service was mediocre - even though there were few full tables initially, it took a long time for the server to come over and he rarely came by throughout the time I was there. I ordered a burger done medium. It came out incredibly rare. No one came by to check how it was.

This lovely restaurant is located on the same property as the resort, so it is very convenient and there is plenty of free parking. I was with two others, and we had easy seating even right at lunchtime. The atmosphere is very relaxed as many guest who are staying over are in bathing suits with bathrobes over. The service was fast and the food was very good which we expected seeing the level of class that the resort has. A spinach salad with beets and feta cheese with candied pecans, a vegetarian roll with fries and cheese enchiladas with green chili were large portioned but not overly so. I had a latte that was as good as any espresso cafe. So all in all, it was a nice place to find after soaking all morning, didn't have to get in our car and the whole experience was lovely.
