The Artesian Restaurant

This was my 2^nd time eating here after spending a day having a private bath and it was a great way to end a wonderful day at the hot springs. The food here is pretty good and to be honest it does feel like you’re in the middle of no where lol
The restaurant also has a wine bar with a pretty good selection, I’d definetly recommend reservations for weekend days and sitting at the bar isn’t so bad too =) come check this place out for a day if ever in New Mexico.

Had dinner here twice and lunch once. It was phenomenal.
The salads were fresh and delicious. We had the buffalo burger, duck confit, quail that was on special, cedar salmon, the farm pizza, the chicken sandwich, and finally a pumpkin tamale. Yes we eat a lot.
My favorite part was the raspberry ginger sauce with the quail. Our servers were also very hospitable. Michael was definitely the best person working there.

Craig and James are the best! If ya happen to find yourself at a Ojo on a cold night get over to the wine bar and try out the tortilla soup (divine) and a nice warm pizza. The soup is a tomato base with splash of lime thrown in to tantalize your taste buds and has nice chunks of avocado. Best part about it for me is that it’s vegetarian!
These two guys will make sure that your order I awl exactly the way you want it and will even demystify the menu for you (if you’re a Cali girl like me and not from NM).
If spirits is what ya want, highly recommend trying the Prickly Pear Agave wine margarita. Not too sweet and not just the right amount of zing. Or maybe you’re more of a beer kind. If so, local IPA on tap and some nice domestics.
This is my fav place between Santa Fe and Taos!
