Reviews for TerraCotta Wine Bistro in Santa Fe, NM
Absolutely LOVED dinner here! Everything was so good! The atmosphere is dim and quite. We started with the onion rings which... were hot and delicious. I got the Portuguese pasta and it was amazing. Tons of great things in there with a modest portion ofpasta. The mussels were SO yummy. My counterpart had the French onion soup and wedge salad. She kept saying it was one of thebest salads she has had! It was my birthday and they gave me a dessert in the house, which made my night! I would absolutelyrecommend eating here if you are in Santa Fe! Read more
For a Saturday night out, kind of meh. I took my wife out to dinner here for a "date night" away from our 2 year... old. Positives: The inside of the restaurant is lovely, with tasteful, ambient music and lightning, and carefully selecteddecor. They offer a pretty robust wine selection, including a Spanish tempranillo that not many restaurants have. The staff isfriendly. Critiques: Unfortunately, we sat outside, which was swelteringly hot. There was a single, plastic floor fan that theywere trying to use to cool the entire back patio. The patio itself did not allow for much air flow, as it's situated under astifling canopy. My wife felt like she was going to pass out. There is no view, and I'm pretty sure there were no other guestsunder the age of 75 that night. The food was glorified diner food. It did not come close to justifying the price. Thebruschetta was pretty good, but looked like it had been unceremoniously tossed/mangled onto a serving platter. We both orderedsalads. My Caesar tasted fine. The lettuce was wilted and the grilled chicken seemed bland and not fresh. My wife got the salmonsalad. She thought it tasted "too fishy" and asked to trade with me. The oysters were huge, dense, and came with some dark browncolored garnish -- I would not recommend them. I would recommend offering lemon, cocktail sauce, or horseradish as agarnish. Overall, this place would be a good choice for a glass of wine inside at the bar. Would not recommend the food. Read more
We really enjoyed this place. Cozy atmosphere, great wine list, and some excellent small plates (bruschetta pictured). BE SURE... TO ORDER THE KEY LIME PIE! It's the best! Read more
What a cute little restaurant! When I walked inside and saw the warm and cozy space, I wasn’t expecting a large wine wine... selection. I was wrong! They have an impressive wine list for any size restaurant and quite a few by the glass. We happened toget there before 6pm, so we got to take advantage of the $6 for a glass before 6pm deal. It felt like a family run restaurant(which it may be, but it was our first time here and we didn’t ask) with very warm and friendly service, My husband and Istarted with the warm shrimp, ricotta and caramelized corn dip, served with house made potato chips. Talk about a comfortingdish. We went through the potato chips and they generously offered us some more. My husband ordered his rib eye rare and it wasexactly as he ordered it. The steak was flavorful and tender (prime cut) the oven roasted potatoes and veggies were wellseasoned and tasty. I ordered the special of the day, mussels with white wine sauce. It was a cooked well, but I felt it lackedflavor. Maybe some chopped fresh tomatoes or crushed red pepper or something to spice it up. Either way, it was good. Ifyou’re looking for a cozy and comfortable place to get a bite with a good glass of wine, this is it! We would definitelyreturn if we’re in the area! Read more
Wonderful dinner. The olive and bread appetizers were fantastic. The oysters we good but not to the cost, but we are from... Louisiana so possibly spoiled there. The Catie's BBQ, half spring chicken and crab cakes were all excellent. The ribeye andsteak were ok but wouldn't get them again at that restaurant vs the other entrees that wow'd us. Dessert was also excellentacross the board with molten chocolate, key lime and s'mores that were all devoured in short order. Overall, if this were areview as judged against other $300-400 restaurants I'd beat them up a little more on that ribeye but against the generalpopulation of places this is certainly a 5 star affair.

Best dinner I've had while on vacation in Sante Fe. Food, wine selection and service were top notch. Linda and team have created... an amazing experience and my server, Jenny, was extremely attentive and I really appreciated her wine knowledge. Salad, crabcakes and creme brulee were off the charts good! Read more
From the second we walked in everyone was wonderful! Chef Catie was especially amazing and so wonderful with our son. Even... separately from the great people the food is the best. We enjoyed bruschetta appetizers, our entrees and delicious deserts.Great wine selection also. I can’t say enough. I will encourage anyone I know who is going to Santa Fe to book a reservationso they don’t miss Read more
Visited on a special event day, with a packed restaurant. Service was very good but we felt a little pressured to leave quickly... after we ate. Quality of food was excellent. Wine list is fabulous with lots of options by the glass. Planning to come back! Read more
