Great dining experience in the Land of Enchantment!

Going for a family member’s birthday dinner, the staff at Coyote Cafe was exceedingly pleasant and helpful. The ambience in the restaurant was nicely set with the right amount of lighting and impressive lighting fixtures (each fixture was the shape of a flowing bird and the entire restaurant was decked out with them). The food itself lived up to the ambience for the most part. While I wasn’t necessarily wowed by any particular dish, all of my expectations were met and the execution of the meal was just what was needed for a celebratory meal.

Dishes I tried:

Butternut Squash & Pear Soup

A little bit too thin but according to the taster it got better as the bowl wore on.

3 Tastes of Creme Brulee

Great dish by the pastry chef. Three shot glasses filled with three distinct tastes of creme brulee (eggnog, cinnamon and maple)
