Background
The restaurant, which is located in a historic building that was once the home of congressional delegate José Manuel Gallegos, has kiva style fireplaces and courtyard dining. The interior has been described as minimalistic. The interior has a close seating arrangement and was described as being "close together, so don't plan on sharing anything intimate that you don't mind sharing with the class," by the Denver Post. Ming Tsai is the former executive chef. Martin Anton became executive chef in 2012. The restaurant was chosen as one of Giada De Laurentiis favorite restaurants in Santa Fe on Giada's Weekend Getaways. In 1998, Tom Ford named the restaurant one of his favorites in Santa Fe.
