The restaurant looks great, bar looks great, etc. The food is terrible. I ordered a quinoa bowl with skirt steak. The steak couldn’t be cut, the quinoa came out ice cold. We also ordered the salmon. It was good, quinoa warm. The tomato soup tasted like it came straight out of a can. The appitisers did not come out correctly. The staff corrected it by bringing out the other ingredients such as the honey and jig jam for the Bree. The ambiance was great. The staff had a great attitude. I do not recommend the food. I hope it changes. I will be back to try again some day.

Food and cocktails were a disappointment. My salad was underdressed and the protein was dry and overcooked. Taos sour tasted like sour fish and smoke. Espresso martini was just pure coffee liquor. Our server was a highlight. She was nice and super attentive. The ambiance is beautiful. The wine selection was also nice, not extensive but the two we tried were great.

Lovely location, on the mountain. Cocktails were excellent and the service was so friendly and personable. We had pizza, which was relatively good. Overall, the experience was great, not entirely sure why the restaurant has a 3.9 star rating at the time of writing this. We did visit in the off-season, however, which might make a difference.

We stayed at the base of Taos Ski Valley for the week and this place was incredible! We had multiple meals here. Truly don’t know how they have anything but 5 stars. Our trip was late January and how busy it was varied but the service was excellent always. We enjoyed lunch and dinner, as well as daily apres by the fire. The staff was super kind, went out of their way multiple times to make off menu drinks and keep our drinks and tables filled. Def get the baked Brie, the straciatella was great if you’re into soup, the hot Italian lunch sandwich was elite. I wish I could remember each server to personally shout out but know we had 10/10 experience.

The appetizers were really good, witches saving this from being a straight 1. We ordered the salmon, halibut, and duck. The duck was only okay, but was by far the best meal at the table. The halibut was tasteless and drenched in oil, while the salmon had the texture of sawdust. The quinoa that the salmon was served on was completely devoid of flavor, and the beurre blanc was much closer to unsalted butter than an actual beurre blanc. The baked brie was really good though
