David S.Univ. of Calif. - Lawrence Livermore Nat. Lab.Sep 21, 1995
In old town try:
Coyote Cafe
132 West Water Street
Santa Fe, New Mexico  87501
505-983-1615 (R)(DD)
-Chef Mark Miller (Fourth St. Grill, Berkeley)
-Cayote Cafe, Rooftop Cantina and General Store. Fixed-price fine dining in the restaurant; $$ food in the rooftop café. Drink specials.

My favorite spot is on the outskirts-‹and well worth the drive. Gabriel's Rt. 11, Box 5 (5 minutes north of the Opera) Santa Fe, NM  87501 505-455-7000 (R)(DD) Daily cards/bar/res € Cozy fireplace, old tile floors, log-beam ceilings, and walls two-feet thick € Food of the Southwest and Old Mexico € Fresh corn tortillas prepared at exhibition comal. € Gold margaritas from "scratch," € Great Mexican dishes, but no soppapias or fried breads of the southwest. € Tableside presentation of guacamole appetizer. € Try carnitas or burrito de carnitas, arroz con pollo, chile rellenos and fish tacos.

Pat,
  For Southwest cusine, Mark Miller's Coyote Cafe is regarded as THE place.
It is expensive and the staff has an attitude problem (as in "they're doing YOU a favor to permit you to dine at the famous Coyote Cafe"). The food IS good, but there are better values. Would recommend Inn of the Anasazi (expensive), Cafe Pasquale (moderate), Blue Corn Cafe (inexpensive), Corn Dance Cafe (native American Indian food. moderate/expensive), La Casa Sena (expensive), The Shed (inexpensive).
  My personal favorites are Cafe Escalera (Calif/fresh bit Italian-like
cusine) and Bistro 315 (French bistro food).

Enjoy SF, it's a great place to visit.
