Steaksmith At El Gancho

How good is Steaksmith? It's so good that on a recent two-week visit to Santa Fe, my wife and I squeezed in 10 terrific dinners at the Steaksmith at El Gancho Restaurant in Santa Fe, NM. Pros: Wide selection, fresh food, expert preparation, amazing service Cons: reservation usually needed; family ambience more

My wife and I tried this restaurant on a recent visit to Santa Fe. The tuna was excellent- even for a desert locale! The appetizer ""chili cheeseballs"" were very unique and we loved them so much, we ordered a second helping. The raspberry pie was ""to die for""....... I wish I had the recipe. This restaurant was a little out of the downtown area, but worth the drive.... We found it when we went to the El Gancho fitness center and happened upon this restaurant which was next door. It was casual, but professional and friendly service. Try it, you'll like it! Pros: Food, view at night of the lights of Santa Fe/Los Alamos, service Cons: Is a busy place and parking was good, but could be a problem on special nights. more

We visited over the Memorial Day weekend. I recommend a reservation, although we got seated promptly. The service was great, and the waitstaff very nice. The ambiance of the restaurant could stand some updating. The restaurant seems to attract the older generation and makes you feel like you could be in a retirement community. The food was tasty and prompt. Very reasonable wine list and prices. Pros: Service, Wine List & Prices Cons: ambiance-kinda stuffy more
