Palace
Modern American Cuisine
A Santa Fe tradition reborn, serving prime steaks, fresh market seafood, and handmade seasonally-changing pastas. Palace features a private dining room for groups of up to 14, as well as a tree-shaded rear patio and fully covered bar patio, open in the warmer months. Reservations Recommended.
Located one block from the historic Plaza and one block from the Lensic Theater. Palace is situated on a landmark site dating back to the mid 1800s, when it was a saloon, gambling hall and bordello owned by the infamous card-shark and courtesan, Doña Tules, an important and colorful character in Santa Fe's wild history. The modernized décor pays homage to the restaurant’s past, while ushering in a new era of casual elegance.
The bar and lounge are a favorite stop for locals, featuring one of the largest selections of spirits in the state. The signature craft cocktails are a must try, with Happy Hour offered daily from 5pm till 6:30pm throughout the entire restaurant.
The menu includes such diverse starters as beef tartar, tuna carpaccio, oysters on the half shell with mezcal mignonette, and a happy hour green chile mac+cheese. House specialties feature top-quality prime steaks including a Txuleta for 2 ribeye, a Moroccan-braised pressed lamb, and seasonally changing hand-made pastas from the talented kitchen. A substantial wine list with many selections from across the globe rounds out the experience, whether you are looking for a casual bite, a cocktail and some nibbles, or a special evening with friends and loved ones.
We look forward to welcoming you to Palace.
Reservations recommended.
