Wonderful food and service! And live music performance in the bar that we truly enjoyed. Very nice and accommodating staff.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We really enjoyed the duck and lamb. Shout out to Anthony who went above and beyond!

AMAYA is absolutely a gem. We dinned here for two days as we were snow bound on the week of November 9, 24. We are frequent visitors to Santa Fe and the menu options, execution, presentation and cuisine are remarkable!! The service in spite of reduced staff due to the weather was incredibly on point. The dinning room is spacious and the scenery was incredibly beautiful, winter wonderland!!

Nice indoor/outdoor space. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. Good food.I happened to come during happy hour (4-6pm), so the wings and cocktail were both on special.

PThe food here is exceptionally good. My salmon was cooked to perfection. The service was stellar. Lady was a sweet heart. The ambiance is fabulous with native art all through out the Hotel. I loved the wooden flute music at dinner. I could feel the stress roll off my shoulders. We stopped by the bar in the afternoon for beer and a nosh. Misty was great. I tried some butter squash soup . . . Delicious.

A hidden gem. Prompt, friendly staff and a wood fireplace. We each had a breakfast, lunch, and dinner here while staying 3 nights at hotel. All meals were very good, and much more than expected at a hotel. If you are expecting hotel food, it is not that! Appetizers, steak, scallops, pork tenderloin, and southwestern items and more on the dinner menu. We had wonderful Angus burgers for lunch (they have bison too!) and eggs Benedict for breakfast.

I love Hotel Santa Fe and everyone forgets it's there , the best kept secret in SF . Amaya has a bunch of great dishes (love the enchilada , my fav in SF) the lamb chops ! the Picaris Salad , all Yumyum ! Also the restaurant is so charming and the fireplace is always roaring ! great drinks too and the Spa is awesome! Best massage in SF !
