Advice on Santa Fe: Cafe Pasqual, Geronimo, The Compound, etc
I just had Thanksgiving at Fuego at la Posada. I am always amazed why this restaurant does not make peoples top five in Santa Fe. They did a four course set menu and carved a whole turkey at every table and then wrapped the turkey to take home.
It was unbelievable. This was our second year there for T day and we go there whenever we can. Fuego and Trot. Nostrani are head and shoulders above the rest of Santa Fe.
Thanksgiving in ABQ or Santa Fe
I had Thanksgiving dinner again this year at Fuego in La Posada. They renovated this year but Thanksgiving was great again. They had a set menu of four courses and carved a Whole Turkey... At every table. It was great, just like at home as you could pick what you wanted, dark meat light meat, etc... but no mess. I will be back again next year.

It was fantiastic. We had a table by the fire and it was romantic and cozy. I highly recommend it.

Well, its was my wifes birthdady so we did overindulge. We started with a Grande Dame 96. I think it was about $270. We had some half bottles and then a full Chambolle Musigny that was around $200 for the main course. We had paid for fice courses but theyu gave us two extra as well so although expensive, i really thought it was a great value.

I recently returned from Santa Fe and, as planned, ate in Fuego. The experience was phenomenal and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in Santa Fe. It was expensive ($1000.00 for 4 people including some great wine pairings) but you can definitley dine there cheaper if you choose.
Patrick, the captain, is one of the most knowledgable servers I have ever experienced.
Thanks for all the input from other chowhounds but I am happy i stayed with my original choice.
Santa fe in October
I will be in Santa Fe in October celebrating my wifes birthday. I want a great restaurant and have heard from friends that Fuego is the way to go. Any feedback?
