"Told them it was our anniversary. One brief mention by the female server , who was unpleasant after we declined her recommendation for a very expensive wine. Duck was not tender, and fatty."
I made reservations for my wife and I to celebrate our 24th anniversary and was very excited to take her because we are both huge foodies and had heard it was pretty good. When I made the reservation I specifically asked if they did anything special for anniversaries and was told they would provide a desert with happy anniversary written on it and I was happy with that. We arrived, placed our order and got 2 mixed drinks that were horrible, pure alcohol I might as well have ordered a shot. Then our waitress asked if we were ready to order and we both had questions about certain items on the menu none of which she could answer which was very disappointing and unprofessional , our food arrived...
Our experience started well before dinner. My friends from out of town had a 3 hour delay into Santa Fe and we had reservations for dinner. We were in constant contact with the restaurant as we didn't want to miss out on dining here. Jennifer took it upon herself to call and see if my friends landed, as it was 8:20pm, and they still accommodated us so close to closing. The service and food were excellent and Jennifer herself came over to be sure that everything was to our liking. Thank you all so very much! You made a stressful situation for us, enjoyable.
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.
We go to Restaurant Martin's every year for our anniversary, Martin and his wife Jennifer always make it such a special evening for us. The food is outstanding, Martin is truly a gifted chef. The combination of flavors are perfectly matched and create the most amazing flavors. From the food to the service and the beautiful patio the entire experience is one we look forward to every year!

Service was mediocre for the venue and price. Food came out super fast (a little too fast) I was not super impressed with the combination of the flavors and it honestly lacked flavor for the lamb dish. Santa Fe has some of the best culinary experiences so I think I was looking forward for an exceptional dining experience here. The venue ambience is a 10/10 weather you're inside or out.
Our first visit to Restaurant Martin was simply a delight! Even though it is one of the more expensive restaurants in town, the value is excellent, as the service is top notch and the chef is an artist. Go there if you want a dining experience that would be hard to beat anywhere!
Elegant dining on the patio. The presentation of each course was just amazing. I ended up taking a risk and having a white fish from New Zealand with an cesser salad. It was so good that I can’t put it into words. I’m a very picky seafood eater, so this is beyond high praise!
Hands down, one of the best dining experiences we've had in years. The food exceeded all expectations, the server was warm, knowledgeable, and professional, and ambiance was refined, but not stuffy. Amazing restaurant!!!

Fantastic experience when I came as one person, and returned with a party of six. The staff was excellent, food top drawer, and beautiful setting. Look forward to returning on a future SF visit.
