I give the Coyote Cafe a solid "eh." The decor was stuck in the 1980's and didn't seem to celebrate at all the natural beauty of the Sante Fe area. The food was overly fussy and unimpressive. We ate in the restaurant and upon visiting the patio in search of an after-dinner drink, I wish we would have gone the... more

Three of us had dinner at CC in late July 2008. The food was delicious and the presentation was lovely. The surroundings in the restaurant were comfortable and elegant. Our service was exceptional. Contrary to some other reports, wer could not have been happier with the wait staff's attention and personal touch. (we are a 50's couple with 20's son)... more

My husband and I recently were in Santa Fe and stumbled upon the Coyote Cafe while shopping. We opted for the Rooftop Cantina as it seemed like a funnier, livelier atmosphere. The place was packed. Obviously this is a popular place to drink and people watch. We were seated at a very small table but it was okay considering that... more

We had seen Rachel Ray visit on one of her shows & though we've had a place here for years, we'd not tried Coyote Cafe. So, without the kids this weekend, we went up to the roof to try it out. What a lovely surpris! Yes, it's buzzing busy. But the food! It was fantabulous! What a large array of... more

I have a 10 year old child who is dangerously allergic to peanuts and dairy products. This child loves good food but rarely has any options when dining out due to his allergies. I called Coyote Cafe and explained we would be in town for a few days and could they accommodate my child's allergies? I spoke with Tori and... more

The main restaurant is eye-wateringly expensive, so we continued upstairs to the rooftop Cantina. It had an afterwork alcohol-fuelled flirty buzziness to it. But as that wasn't what we were there for, we were aprehensive. After a quick wait - enough time to sample the broad beer list, we were shown to one of the high-stool seated tables. The menu... more

We enjoyed the roof-top cantina. The food was very good and the service was good as well. Did not experience any negative attitude from staff. Glad we checked it out! more

First, the Coyote has changed hands. Unfortunately, the decor continues to be the same, and it is showing its age. We checked out the menu at the rooftop cantina and got up and left. Way overpriced, as it was a year ago, for the same humdrum stuff. There are many better in SF. The new owners need to ratchet it... more

What is going on at the Coyote Café? Blair said it correctly, it’s become more like an airport between-planes chow-down joint than a fine dining establishment. We arrived promptly at 6:30 for our 6:30 reservation. Were seated at 7:00! No offer of a glass of wine or champagne during our lengthy wait, even though I suggested same to the dour... more
