My husband & I had a beautiful intimate meal here. All the food was superb, but the Heirloom Tomato Salad with pesto made me want to stand on my chair and applaud! They use local vegetables from the Santa Feel Farmer's Market. Local food at its best!

Three out of four dishes were sub-par - nothing French or fresh about it - complete waste of money - ruined a birthday celebration. A very poor excuse for a fine French restaurant.

YuMmMMmmie.... not too many places that you can find Dry aged steak. My boyfriend and I made reservations for 315 and was immediately impressed that their menu featured a price fix, but we ordered the cote de boeuf for two: dry aged steak with foie gras butter. It was pretty pricey, but it was the foie gras butter on the dry aged steak was delicious. The piece of meat served is about 40 oz and served with pomme frites (shoe string fries) and a bed of arugula with shaved Parmesan cheese. My only complaint with the dish is I wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more... :) no seriously with all kidding aside, I wish the steak came out a little more hotter. The piece of meat was just warm. We started our meal with cauliflower soup with pancetta. This was okay. I would rate this soup to be 3 out of 5. Very rich in buttery flavor. Overall the staff was okay...nothing I would beam about, but I would wish they would enforce a noise level at the restaurant. For a fancy smanzy restaurant I would think they would keep out the likes of loud mouths... but I'm wrong. Just bring ear plugs or don't go on a Date night. :)

Really good eats. We were getting a little overdone on southwestern cuisine & this made a delicious break from that. It is a small restaurant. We went early and off-season & it was getting pretty packed by the time we finished. I would recommend reservations when going in the summer.

This restaurant was definitely worth the money. We had the 32 prix fixe menu (there is also a weekly 18 dollar menu), which included an app., an entree, and desert. Not too bad. Ambiance was superb, though perhaps a bit tooo dark. Intimate setting, not too loud. Waiter was very cordial though perhaps could've been a bit friendlier, and a bit faster on occasion. I enjoy talking between courses but they were a little too long. Very nice place to sit and talk though. Food was delicious, we both had the duck with cherries and it was done very well. French Onion soup and salad were okay, not spectacular, desert and cheese great, wine list prolific if on the more expensive side (of more than 50 wines, only about 5 were around 30 or less, considering the entree level, this seemed a bit high.) Altogether, the experience was great.

We went there recently, with high hopes. We literally sat at our table for two hours without our meal being served while all the other tables in our area turned over at least once. It seemed like one, rather lovely, man named Ron was the only one on duty - but his charm could not save the night.

Not impressed with the latest menu. My lamb dish was oversalted. My husband's pork chop (or was it veal???) was kind of tough and gristly. Also unimpressed with the dessert we shared, as well as the seafood appetizer. Hopefully, this is a passing phase....

The real Star is Behind the Bar! Sommelier Star is a treasure and makes 315 one of the best places to sip in town. She knows everything about every bottle, she has a bottle for every meal and is delightful and charming at all times. She is the best person to have around when you're looking for a good glass of wine. God bless her: Star was even serving wine in the booze pen at the Morrissey show last Fall. I j'adore the foie gras and cannot resist ordering it each time I eat at 315- but don't skip reading the chalk board for the specials- I have had some incredibly yummy raw oysters their as well! Feel free to ask for items to be made to order, if you have allergies 315 is quite responsive and responsible!

I was beckon to 315 with offer of $1 oysters (in celebration of the bar expansion). The oysters were good and at a buck a piece quite a bargain. Fella Yelp reviewer, Alisson S. had it right, the '"Star" is behind the bar'. Star mixes up some great cocktails (I appreciate little things like no ice bits floating in my shaken cocktail). They are creative and interesting. Fair warning, the prices match the high quality liquors too. Their bar menu was really tasty too. A pretty swank way to spend happy hour, I must say. If you haven't been, you might want to check it out.

Updated: I have only eaten in the bar area (which is very nice), but I can at least testify that the food, wine, and service are all excellent. In fact, I wrote down the names of two wines when I was there so I could remember them later (since lost....) I haven't been in a couple of years so other details are fuzzy, but my first impression put this place towards the top of the list of my favorite higher-end restaurants in SF. Four Stars. Update: went back again tonight and had an equally great experience. Tonight we sat in themain dining room of this cozy hacienda that draws its influences from many locales and ethnicities. Service couldn't be much better, and as I said above, the wine list is excellent (though pricey). Tops the list along with The Compound. Four Plus Stars!
Amazing cheese and charcuterie plates, diverce in texture and flavours, awesome bottle of Pine Ridge Vignet blend, onion soup still good but a little bit too sweet for my taste palette. Charming ambience, highly recommend this place, outdoor seating available. Very competend and friendly service!

Stopped in for a glass of wine and a little bite. Service was spot on. Appetizers were tasty (pork belly & bay scallops) We shall return. If you're drinking wine, pay attention to the copper board behind the bartender; non-standard offerings are listed.
315 Is the place where you want to go for a great consistency on any dish, love the pork belly, any time that is lamb on the menu is great, super cool wine selection, casual atmosphere and nice servers, food it as always been great.

I've been to many places in Santa Fe. Great service, but like most Santa Fe dinning, quick service is not on the list. Which makes sense since this is fine dinning. Aside from that the food was amazing! Had the aged steak ( serves two). It was brilliantly paired with a great cab named Black Chicken. Desert was great, the shrimp appetizer was delicious.

My favorite place in Santa Fe to relax and have an amazing well sourced meal. The staff is thoughtful and attentive while working incredibly well together. They all amaze me every time. The wine, bourbon, and tequila selection under one roof is unbeatable and the cocktails are amazing. Louis Moskow, the head chef and owner is always on the floor and greats us warmly. His menu changes with the seasons and with his whims, whether it be the lightness of spring or the plow of bourbon. I can't recommend it enough. Bring your loved one or a random crowd and have a great night. No matter who you are, you will feel special.

The food here is always great and they are walking distance to my house, so that's a big plus. And they have a full bar with great martinis which gets extra points in my book. Try the trout rillettes and the cote du bouef. Also save room for the pots de creme!

Leahi M.
If I knew one of my favorite bartenders were going to be working here I woulda given a five "Starr" sooner! Starr treats everyone like a VIP and all the rest of the staff have always been very attentive and remember my name, which is a difficult thing to do. The food is awesome...so far, the duck confit is my fave, can't wait to try more!

My wife and I have eaten here twice. We've enjoyed the food. The service is very weak, however. In fact, it's almost insulting. Our most recent dinner was on a busy night. The table we had reserved wasn't ready. We waited at the bar 20 minutes before I flagged down the manager and got us a glass of wine. We had to ask for bread three times, water wasn't refilled, etc. What was irritating was that the waiters wasted time talking to the regular customers. Santa Fe in general makes visitors feel welcome. The 315 doesn't.

Patrick K.
My wife and I generally go here several times a year. 315 serves typical French Bistro/ Brasserie fare in a cozy atmosphere.A lot of the ingredients are obtained locally. The house made Charcuterie here is really great. The Rillettes are awesome here, you must try it if it is on the menu. If you are looking to share a meal, the Dry-Aged Ribeye with Foie Gras-butter is out of this world. I have to say, that it is one of the best steaks I've ever eaten! I really like this place!

I started to write a long review about this promising restaurant. And I decided to delete my long text and give you the bottom line. This restaurant (in a very competitive market) offers: Good food, a great atmosphere in a (almost) romantic setting, BUT the slow, spotty and non-caring service was a distraction and and a turn off. I will go back, because someone in the kitchen cares about the quality of the food they offer. A good and well priced wine list supports the food. After I was assigned a small table by the bar, I waited looong time for someone to take care of me. After a while, I flagged the Maitre'D and he apologized and asked the bartender "have you notice the lady by the window?", she had not. I must mention that I travel often, nationally and internationally, and this is not something new. If you are a female eating by yourself, you will be "forgotten" or the very least not given the same kind of attention or service, couples or larger parties enjoy. I am dedicated to tip well, and I gave this server an 18% gratuity (it would had been a larger %) despite her shortcomings as a server. I talked to the same Manager or Maitre"D as I exited the restaurant, and he did apologized for the service. I really hope they can train their employee's to provide 'equal" - good service to all customers, even while dining alone. BTW: WOW, This is the first Yelp review (or any other) I've ever written.

Service was not attentive. Time between first and second course was forty five minutes with no comment from wait staff. DONT get seated in back room! Awful space - cramped, loud and forgotten. The art on the wall looked like the "Starving Artist" sales that go city to city. Food was good with the exception of the Haystack of frites the size of toothpicks. Would rather try to eat peas with a knife. In summary food is good, don't get seated in the back room and you need to be aggressive to get your needs met.

We ate here for dinner on our trip to Santa Fe. Unfortunately we have to give this place a thumbs down even though we were looking forward to eating here :( We ordered a glass of Chardonnay and martini for drinks. The martini was good and full but the glass of wine was small (12 bucks). I'm sure y'all are with me when I say 'I hate a half pour.' We ordered the fried green tomatoes for our appetizer (10 bucks). It was small and not that great. The batter was too thick and felt too fried to get any flavor from either the tomato or sauce. My husband ordered the rainbow trout ($27) and it was not great either. The trout was thin cut and overdone set on a bed of baby spinach and like six other ingredients which didn't give the fish a fighting chance against all the hoop-lah. I got the seared duck breast ($27). It was really poorly cooked and tasted like I don't know dark meat chicken or like bad Chinese food? I didn't even finish it. We are not food snobs but appreciate a good meal so if you are like us beware!

Overpriced, okay food served on paper tablecloth. $11 for a glass of wine with 2 whole ounces in it. The sauce I had with my tenderloin was bitter, and the service was spotty. The staff informed us the $18 price fixe menu was just raised to $35 per person for the "top months", otherwise known as soaking the tourists. Meh.

As confirmed foodies from the San Francisco Bay Area, if this restaurant was in our neighborhood we would be coming here every week without fail. We love French food and the pork osso bucco special was possibly the finest pork preparation we've ever had in our long lives. The beet salad was a masterpiece with the unexpected addition of well-washed salted capers that gave just the right lift without the excessive sourness of the usual pickled capers that would have overwhelmed the delicate golden beets. I got the 3-course which was an amazing $18 (in the Bay Area that's cheaper than the price of breakfast). Nice pork loin slice with couscous and creamed spinach, a starter salad, and a lovely little scoop of dark chocolate mousse that my DH and I shared (his osso bucco was so huge even the two of us had trouble finishing it). Decaf espresso and reg cappuccino were flawless. Good service, nice cozy rooms, and a fabulous change from the mediocre endless tamales/enchiladas/tacos with watery beans and indifferent chile sauces served everywhere, and I mean everywhere, else.

The reviews saying the service was sluggish was absolutely correct. Out of 6 plates ordered, 2 were not as stated on the menu and 1 was not how we ordered. Overall the restaurant is inconsistent for customer experience and food quality, and it was a slow night.

It had been years since I had dined at 315 but my boyfriend surprised me recently by skipping our usual dinner spots and made a reservation here. We both love French food and have lived in France and loved the way the menu is presented on the chalkboard just like it is in France. Cozy, comfortable and delicious. I look forward to trying the bar menu and enjoying a few cocktails and glasses of wine. Small restaurant, but great service, great food...will be on our rotation for now on!

315 restaurant & wine bar is located 2 blocks from the historic downtown plaza. The restaurant offers a french dining experience in a renovated southwestern residence. Outdoor dining is available on the front patio. Which overlooks the Santa Fe Trail. The wine list is extensive and the bar area serves as a nice tasting room. We were seated promptly upon arrival at our reservation time. The dining room is an elegant intimate space. The restaurant was conversation friendly until a large party arrived towards the end of our meal. Service was prompt and our server had a friendly and conversational manner. As a starter we ordered the Squash Blossom Beignets. 4 nice size blossoms stuffed with goat cheese fondue and coulis. These were perfectly fried crispy outside and melt in your mouth cheese inside. My entree was Seared Sea Scallops with Baby Head Lettuce roasted beets, poached leeks, baby fingerling potatoes & sherry mushroom vinaigrette. The scallops were sweet and tender. There was a nice contrast of flavors with the beets and sherry mushroom vinaigrette. My wife's entree was the Steak Frites. A 10 oz. New York strip served with herb butter. A large perfectly cooked piece of beef with plenty of flavor. For desert we shared the Profiteroles that are served with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. The 3 pieces were perfect for sharing.

My server was Alex. She was incredible. I would go back if only to talk to her about wine pairing and what else I should order. She knows her stuff when it comes to food and alcohol. This is a great little restaurant that has upheld it's reputation for many years and I can't wait to go back.

In terms of elevated staples there really is no other restaurant of this caliber in Santa Fe. The chef, the staff, the fellow patrons, and the constant parade of dishes circling the dining room all meld into a candlelit accord. The feeling is intimate yet comfortable. The house made charcuterie is to die for. The chef just constantly flies in oysters and crab legs and caviar and truffles and then hand picks mushrooms. Bring everyone you know.

I had excellent service at the bar while I was waiting for my other guests, and they have a superb wine menu (which is half-price on Tuesday nights!). The food was delicious!!!! Though... wildly expensive!!!! Like shockingly expensive. $18 for a heirloom tomato salad that used two tomatoes and had a scoop of (admittedly delicious) fresh buratta? What the...!?!?!? Clearly, I am in Santa Fe. If you like wild game and fish, everything on the menu looks delicious. Outside of the price, my only (hopefully constructive) criticism is that the waiter looked like he had not ironed his shirt... pretty much... ever. When I am paying this kind of price for very good food... I expect you to look the part. He was a little off-kilter (as if he was working a double that night?), but seemed very knowledgeable. I just couldn't take him very seriously when he looked like a bum. His food and wine suggestions were excellent, however. I will most definitely be back when I need to bask in some delicious wild game (and/or there are specials I can afford), and on Tuesday nights!

This is our favorite place in Santa Fe, about ten minutes from our house! I am such a Francophile, and love having our own French bistro nearby. We try to go every Tuesday (half-price bottles of wine--seriously, you need to go on Tuesday!), the atmosphere is intimate and nice/informal, the food consistent and always well-prepared and tasty (I get the steak frites when a special doesn't grab me, and I am picky about my steak frites). Also great cocktails and yummy desserts. On nice summer evenings, our little dog goes with us to sit on the patio, and she is always remembered and welcomed with her own treat. The staff is amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. I have also eaten alone at the cozy bar and felt totally comfortable (great value on the bar menu). Highly recommend!

We had an amazing dinner at this place and the service was great as well. We had the Seared Sea Scallops with Roasted Pepper Escabeche and Braised Sea Bass with Heirloom Tomatoes, both were fresh and perfectly prepared. We then finished with Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry sauce & whipped cream, and that too was yummy. The restaurant is cozy and makes for a great night out with a special someone.

I attended the Buffalo Trace Whiskey Dinner at 315 last night, and it was better than everything I hoped it would be. The Kentucky distillery sent a very knowledgeable representative to discuss each bourbon we enjoyed with each scrumptious course. He also enlightened us to the amazing world of barrel aging by explaining some of the experimental methods being used by the distillery. For example, they have a retractable roof over one of their aging areas because they discovered that the presence of sunlight can actually improve the quality of the bourbon. They stumbled upon this aging secret one year when the roof was blown off of one of their rackhouses by a tornado. Who knew? Yes, the atmosphere was full of knowledgable conversations, but the multicourse dinner paired with the nuances of different whiskeys was astonishing. The meal began with a baby arugula salad with roasted pears and pecans. It was paired with the Buffalo Trace Bourbon, which was super smooth. It was a very enjoyable way to begin a meal. The next course was a uniquely prepared pork belly with cider and soy. I've had pork bellies prepared wrong before, but not this one, it was just right! The sauce complimented the usual saltiness that pork belly presents by creating flavors that were perfectly balanced. The chef even brought around some coarse smoked salt to add an extra element to this culinary delight. It was paired with the Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon. A bold bourbon that may have caused me to grow a chest hair or two. Then, things really heated up as the sultry south was channeled for the main event. We had southern fried quail with a coffee barbeque sauce paired with the Thomas Handy, Single Barrel Rye. As I am originally from the fine state of Georgia, I had my doubts about anything being called southern fried in Santa Fe, but the dish was good enough to earn the title, even if the barbeque sauce was a little on the light side for me. I am a big fan of the molasses based barbeque sauces, and this one went a different route. However, it was delicious all the same, and the Thomas Handy really packed a punch. I had to cut that one back with a bit of water. The initial inhale of the intoxicating aroma may have caused some of my nose hairs to singe. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and the end of this meal was my favorite part. For dessert, we had dry cherry and white chocolate bread pudding with bourbon sauce. It was to die for! I scraped every last drop of sauce from my plate. It was paired with the Stagg Jr. Bourbon, which was a sentual spirit and an ease off the throttle from the intensity of the prior two. The service was so stellar that I wanted for nothing. My water glass stayed full, the bread basket was restocked every time the last piece was touched, and well timed inquiries were made about my enjoyment of the meal. What more could you ask for? I highly reccomend this restaurant. It has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Santa Fe. If you have the oppertunity to attend any of the specially planned wine, or in this case whiskey, dinners, do it! You'll be happy you treated yourself to such an amazingly unique experience.

Do you want great food and wine? Do you have a dog with you? This is the place to go. We had a fantastic meal out on the patio and brought along our German Shepherd Dog puppy. The wine offerings are great. The food options were great and seasonal. Much cheaper and better value than Cafe Pasqual's which is what everyone recommends. I'd recommend walking a little further and enjoying dinner here.

Had an unfortunate dining experience here on Valentine's Day last night. The service was fine, and wine wonderful, but the food was quite disappointing. For the holiday they had a prix fixe menu, and I chose the lobster bisque for an appetizer. It was tasty, but nothing very special about it. My main course was sea bass, and it was awful. It had some sort of chemical taste, which to me was like the flavor of extra-bad tap water. It was also quite dry, which the nice aioli helped with some, but the flavor was unbearable. The accompanying brussels sprouts and rice were both just okay. For dessert, I chose the pear cake, which was also on the dry side, and didn't have enough caramel sauce with it to mitigate that problem. I think I must have just had bad luck in picking what I did on the prix fixe menu, which was $75 a head. The only money well spent last night in my opinion was for the great wine and the tip for our server, who was very nice.

Excellent dinner from start to finish. We were able to sit out on the patio with the dog, as most of Santa Fe restaurants with a patio allow. Great wine selection, we started with squash blossoms, and had veal and duck from the specials menu. Expensive, but we knew that going in. Highly recommend. easy walk from the plaza area.

My favorite place in Santa Fe a thousand times over. The chef, Louis Moskow, is always there greeting guests, which tops the dining experience with a personalized touch. The staff is likewise on point, incredibly knowledgable, and gracious. As for food, it is a well sourced and thoughtfully curated menu that changes seasonally. The bar is usually our go to location with its delicious oysters and outstanding bar menu - $8 steak frites doesn't get much better. A go-to place for locals and tourists, yummm

We went there for Valentine's Day. Was not really impressed at all. The decor needs updating. I had the lemon drop martini. The bartenders are of good quality. Lobster bisque was excellent so I was so excited about my main course. It came, I was disappointed. I ordered the sea bass and was in for a suprise. It came out and had skin on it. I wasn't expecting it . Being from Dallas I guess I am use to the Chilean Sea Bass. The dish was bland and unappetizing. Dessert was good. I had the flourless chocolate cake . Also, on a side note the girls restroom wasn't working.

The Monday before Thanksgiving I contacted 315 Restaurant to see if they would sell a pre-cooked, ready-to-eat turkey the day before Thanksgiving. My whole family was in town and all 6 of us were in need of a bird ready to go Wednesday evening. So I called 315 after reading a mention of their doing this last year and arranged for our purchase. I asked for the price and was quoted $6 a pound. I said "wow" as that is an excellent price. We discussed a 10ish pound bird only, no side dishes as we all love cooking and had plans for sides. We also discussed it being picked up at 4pm on Wednesday. Awesome. I was very excited. I show up at 4pm on the dot Wednesday. We were not exactly warmly welcomed, but I ignored that at the time. I get it, its dinner prep time. So eventually our turkey makes its way out and smells unbelievably good. We receive the bill and are shocked to see $156 staring at us! Really?!?!? How do you get from $6x10ish to $156?? I know turkeys CAN cost that much, but this is not what we agreed to. I ask the woman and she doesn't know, opting to get the guy I made arrangements with in the first place. He comes out in chef whites and hurriedly and dismissively shoots down our entire previous conversation. Here's how it roughly went: Me: This smells great but is over twice the price we agreed to. How did we get from $6/lb to $156? 315: We did NOT agree to $6/lb and I would not have agreed to just the turkey. I can't even get natural Diestel Turkeys for that price, let alone have it smoked for 5 hours. Me: We discussed $6/lb, 10ish pounds, no sides, and ready at 4 on Wednesday. 315: Well, $6/lb was our price last year. I can't sell it to you for that price. The only price I have is $26 per person for take home Thanksgiving dinner. If you don't want to pay this price I can happily sell to another customer as we over sold. Lets cover a few things quickly. 1: He said the price was $6/lb last year. He looked at me like I was crazy for quoting that price, but it was the price last year? 2: If you can't wholesale purchase a natural Diestel Turkey for $6/lb start buying at Whole Foods, where the same brand turkeys are being sold for $2.49/lb. Sorry, buddy, you were ripped off if you paid more than $2.49. 3: They were OVER SOLD FOR THANKSGIVING. Ok, so this means that families counting on a dinner from 315 were NOT GOING TO GET WHAT THEY ORDERED. Either he was lying on this point, they were hoping a ton of people would cancel between 4pm Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, or the restaurant is simply irresponsible. Call me crazy but you don't mess with the biggest family meal of the year. I was VERY disappointed, upset, and quite frankly embarrassed that the pre-ordered turkey we all counted on never made its way to our table. I will never visit this restaurant. I would also encourage those who plan to purchase Thanksgiving from 315 in the future reconsider their options; not because of what happened to me, but more because of the possibility of not receiving your bird in the first place due to their overselling and price gouging.

We celebrated Fathers Day with dinner @ 315. The restaurant is comfortable. The food was a roller coaster some poor others superb. The oysters and duck were very delicious. The crab claws should have been cracked for us and difficult to eat. The basil wrapped shrimp was over cooked. The waitress was somewhat over bearing and disrupted our conversation too frequently. I would be hesitant to consider a return. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain

YuMmMMmmie.... not too many places that you can find Dry aged steak. My boyfriend and I made reservations for 315 and was immediately impressed that their menu featured a price fix, but we ordered the cote de boeuf for two: dry aged steak with foie gras butter. It was pretty pricey, but it was the foie gras butter on the dry aged steak was delicious. The piece of meat served is about 40 oz and served with pomme frites (shoe string fries) and a bed of arugula with shaved Parmesan cheese. My only complaint with the dish is I wish I had a bigger stomach to eat more... :) no seriously with all kidding aside, I wish the steak came out a little more hotter. The piece of meat was just warm. We started our meal with cauliflower soup with pancetta. This was okay. I would rate this soup to be 3 out of 5. Very rich in buttery flavor. Overall the staff was okay...nothing I would beam about, but I would wish they would enforce a noise level at the restaurant. For a fancy smanzy restaurant I would think they would keep out the likes of loud mouths... but I'm wrong. Just bring ear plugs or don't go on a Date night. :)

This restaurant was definitely worth the money. We had the 32 prix fixe menu (there is also a weekly 18 dollar menu), which included an app., an entree, and desert. Not too bad. Ambiance was superb, though perhaps a bit tooo dark. Intimate setting, not too loud. Waiter was very cordial though perhaps could've been a bit friendlier, and a bit faster on occasion. I enjoy talking between courses but they were a little too long. Very nice place to sit and talk though. Food was delicious, we both had the duck with cherries and it was done very well. French Onion soup and salad were okay, not spectacular, desert and cheese great, wine list prolific if on the more expensive side (of more than 50 wines, only about 5 were around 30 or less, considering the entree level, this seemed a bit high.) Altogether, the experience was great.

We went there recently, with high hopes. We literally sat at our table for two hours without our meal being served while all the other tables in our area turned over at least once. It seemed like one, rather lovely, man named Ron was the only one on duty - but his charm could not save the night.

Not impressed with the latest menu. My lamb dish was oversalted. My husband's pork chop (or was it veal???) was kind of tough and gristly. Also unimpressed with the dessert we shared, as well as the seafood appetizer. Hopefully, this is a passing phase....

The real Star is Behind the Bar! Sommelier Star is a treasure and makes 315 one of the best places to sip in town. She knows everything about every bottle, she has a bottle for every meal and is delightful and charming at all times. She is the best person to have around when you're looking for a good glass of wine. God bless her: Star was even serving wine in the booze pen at the Morrissey show last Fall. I j'adore the foie gras and cannot resist ordering it each time I eat at 315- but don't skip reading the chalk board for the specials- I have had some incredibly yummy raw oysters their as well! Feel free to ask for items to be made to order, if you have allergies 315 is quite responsive and responsible!

I was beckon to 315 with offer of $1 oysters (in celebration of the bar expansion). The oysters were good and at a buck a piece quite a bargain. Fella Yelp reviewer, Alisson S. had it right, the '"Star" is behind the bar'. Star mixes up some great cocktails (I appreciate little things like no ice bits floating in my shaken cocktail). They are creative and interesting. Fair warning, the prices match the high quality liquors too. Their bar menu was really tasty too. A pretty swank way to spend happy hour, I must say. If you haven't been, you might want to check it out.

My favorite place to eat in Santa Fe. Great selection of good French cuisine and an excellent wine list.
(5)Max M.
Updated: I have only eaten in the bar area (which is very nice), but I can at least testify that the food, wine, and service are all excellent. In fact, I wrote down the names of two wines when I was there so I could remember them later (since lost....) I haven't been in a couple of years so other details are fuzzy, but my first impression put this place towards the top of the list of my favorite higher-end restaurants in SF. Four Stars. Update: went back again tonight and had an equally great experience. Tonight we sat in themain dining room of this cozy hacienda that draws its influences from many locales and ethnicities. Service couldn't be much better, and as I said above, the wine list is excellent (though pricey). Tops the list along with The Compound. Four Plus Stars!

This restaurant clearly used to be named "Bistro 315" w/ apparently the same management. But it seems that they may have engaged in a little bit of a makeover based on earlier reviews, and their website makes no mention of the old name. Restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating but of course, outdoor seating is not too practical in the winter in SF and it was not offered when I went. Inside is perhaps a little crowded but acceptable. Good service, good wine list, broad menu selection, kitchen seems quick. Nice prix fixe menu at $18 and $32 on the less-than-crowded nights; check website. Had the Caesar Salad/Calamari and Pan Roasted Quail, both quite nice. The salad is, in some sense, not a true Caesar, but more of a chopped Caesar with the deep-fried calamari replacing the anchovy. This salad can be a soggy disaster (wet lettuce destroys the crispy calamari) but they did this well. Oddly, the salad was really too big. In my opinion, the salad was large enough for an entrée and I ate only half to have room for the real entrée. Similarly with the dessert (a trio of homemade ice cream). While the ice cream was good, again, there was enough for two in the serving. Maybe I'm just used to paying a huge price for small portions in upscale San Francisco restaurants. So I liked it and will try again during the summer if outdoor seating is offered.

Amazing cheese and charcuterie plates, diverce in texture and flavours, awesome bottle of Pine Ridge Vignet blend, onion soup still good but a little bit too sweet for my taste palette. Charming ambience, highly recommend this place, outdoor seating available. Very competend and friendly service!
(5)T J.
Stopped in for a glass of wine and a little bite. Service was spot on. Appetizers were tasty (pork belly & bay scallops) We shall return. If you're drinking wine, pay attention to the copper board behind the bartender; non-standard offerings are listed.
(4)Matt B.
We had a terrible experience here a couple months ago but the manager and owner asked us to give them another chance. I'm glad we did. They got rid of the server we had previously and what a difference we had tonight. The service was great as was the food. They had king crab as a special and Santa Fe may be a land locked city, but it seemed as fresh as could be and the blue point oysters were fantastic as well. The creme brûlée may have been one of the best I've had anywhere.
(4)Diego A.
315 Is the place where you want to go for a great consistency on any dish, love the pork belly, any time that is lamb on the menu is great, super cool wine selection, casual atmosphere and nice servers, food it as always been great.
(5)Lydia S.
I had a fantastic dinner here with some friends. The service was great, the food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was really nice, but casual. The pork belly appetizer was sooo good. They also have a VERY extensive wine selection. Definitely will be going back!
(5)Abe J.
I've been to many places in Santa Fe. Great service, but like most Santa Fe dinning, quick service is not on the list. Which makes sense since this is fine dinning. Aside from that the food was amazing! Had the aged steak ( serves two). It was brilliantly paired with a great cab named Black Chicken. Desert was great, the shrimp appetizer was delicious.
(4)David S.
My favorite place in Santa Fe to relax and have an amazing well sourced meal. The staff is thoughtful and attentive while working incredibly well together. They all amaze me every time. The wine, bourbon, and tequila selection under one roof is unbeatable and the cocktails are amazing. Louis Moskow, the head chef and owner is always on the floor and greats us warmly. His menu changes with the seasons and with his whims, whether it be the lightness of spring or the plow of bourbon. I can't recommend it enough. Bring your loved one or a random crowd and have a great night. No matter who you are, you will feel special.
(5)Jabba T.
The food here is always great and they are walking distance to my house, so that's a big plus. And they have a full bar with great martinis which gets extra points in my book. Try the trout rillettes and the cote du bouef. Also save room for the pots de creme!
(5)Leahi M.
If I knew one of my favorite bartenders were going to be working here I woulda given a five "Starr" sooner! Starr treats everyone like a VIP and all the rest of the staff have always been very attentive and remember my name, which is a difficult thing to do. The food is awesome...so far, the duck confit is my fave, can't wait to try more!
(5)Ty T.
My wife and I have eaten here twice. We've enjoyed the food. The service is very weak, however. In fact, it's almost insulting. Our most recent dinner was on a busy night. The table we had reserved wasn't ready. We waited at the bar 20 minutes before I flagged down the manager and got us a glass of wine. We had to ask for bread three times, water wasn't refilled, etc. What was irritating was that the waiters wasted time talking to the regular customers. Santa Fe in general makes visitors feel welcome. The 315 doesn't.
(2)Patrick K.
My wife and I generally go here several times a year. 315 serves typical French Bistro/ Brasserie fare in a cozy atmosphere.A lot of the ingredients are obtained locally. The house made Charcuterie here is really great. The Rillettes are awesome here, you must try it if it is on the menu. If you are looking to share a meal, the Dry-Aged Ribeye with Foie Gras-butter is out of this world. I have to say, that it is one of the best steaks I've ever eaten! I really like this place!
(5)Monica G.
I started to write a long review about this promising restaurant. And I decided to delete my long text and give you the bottom line. This restaurant (in a very competitive market) offers: Good food, a great atmosphere in a (almost) romantic setting, BUT the slow, spotty and non-caring service was a distraction and and a turn off. I will go back, because someone in the kitchen cares about the quality of the food they offer. A good and well priced wine list supports the food. After I was assigned a small table by the bar, I waited looong time for someone to take care of me. After a while, I flagged the Maitre'D and he apologized and asked the bartender "have you notice the lady by the window?", she had not. I must mention that I travel often, nationally and internationally, and this is not something new. If you are a female eating by yourself, you will be "forgotten" or the very least not given the same kind of attention or service, couples or larger parties enjoy. I am dedicated to tip well, and I gave this server an 18% gratuity (it would had been a larger %) despite her shortcomings as a server. I talked to the same Manager or Maitre"D as I exited the restaurant, and he did apologized for the service. I really hope they can train their employee's to provide 'equal" - good service to all customers, even while dining alone. BTW: WOW, This is the first Yelp review (or any other) I've ever written.
(2)Clark H.
Service was not attentive. Time between first and second course was forty five minutes with no comment from wait staff. DONT get seated in back room! Awful space - cramped, loud and forgotten. The art on the wall looked like the "Starving Artist" sales that go city to city. Food was good with the exception of the Haystack of frites the size of toothpicks. Would rather try to eat peas with a knife. In summary food is good, don't get seated in the back room and you need to be aggressive to get your needs met.
(3)Danielle D.
We ate here for dinner on our trip to Santa Fe. Unfortunately we have to give this place a thumbs down even though we were looking forward to eating here :( We ordered a glass of Chardonnay and martini for drinks. The martini was good and full but the glass of wine was small (12 bucks). I'm sure y'all are with me when I say 'I hate a half pour.' We ordered the fried green tomatoes for our appetizer (10 bucks). It was small and not that great. The batter was too thick and felt too fried to get any flavor from either the tomato or sauce. My husband ordered the rainbow trout ($27) and it was not great either. The trout was thin cut and overdone set on a bed of baby spinach and like six other ingredients which didn't give the fish a fighting chance against all the hoop-lah. I got the seared duck breast ($27). It was really poorly cooked and tasted like I don't know dark meat chicken or like bad Chinese food? I didn't even finish it. We are not food snobs but appreciate a good meal so if you are like us beware!
(2)J T.
Insanely good restaurant...everything is always good here. I recommend the pork belly, it's incredible.
(5)Lauren T.
Overpriced, okay food served on paper tablecloth. $11 for a glass of wine with 2 whole ounces in it. The sauce I had with my tenderloin was bitter, and the service was spotty. The staff informed us the $18 price fixe menu was just raised to $35 per person for the "top months", otherwise known as soaking the tourists. Meh.
(2)J.A. K.
As confirmed foodies from the San Francisco Bay Area, if this restaurant was in our neighborhood we would be coming here every week without fail. We love French food and the pork osso bucco special was possibly the finest pork preparation we've ever had in our long lives. The beet salad was a masterpiece with the unexpected addition of well-washed salted capers that gave just the right lift without the excessive sourness of the usual pickled capers that would have overwhelmed the delicate golden beets. I got the 3-course which was an amazing $18 (in the Bay Area that's cheaper than the price of breakfast). Nice pork loin slice with couscous and creamed spinach, a starter salad, and a lovely little scoop of dark chocolate mousse that my DH and I shared (his osso bucco was so huge even the two of us had trouble finishing it). Decaf espresso and reg cappuccino were flawless. Good service, nice cozy rooms, and a fabulous change from the mediocre endless tamales/enchiladas/tacos with watery beans and indifferent chile sauces served everywhere, and I mean everywhere, else.
(5)Sue G.
The reviews saying the service was sluggish was absolutely correct. Out of 6 plates ordered, 2 were not as stated on the menu and 1 was not how we ordered. Overall the restaurant is inconsistent for customer experience and food quality, and it was a slow night.
(2)Clare M.
It had been years since I had dined at 315 but my boyfriend surprised me recently by skipping our usual dinner spots and made a reservation here. We both love French food and have lived in France and loved the way the menu is presented on the chalkboard just like it is in France. Cozy, comfortable and delicious. I look forward to trying the bar menu and enjoying a few cocktails and glasses of wine. Small restaurant, but great service, great food...will be on our rotation for now on!
(5)John M.
This place has a great wine list and a tasty and interesting menu. Both my basil wrapped shrimp and tuna appetizers were delicious. It's got a nice cozy patio and a quaint bar area to dine solo in as well.
(4)Regina V.
Excellent food! Came here from NYC (and it's hard to impress New Yorkers when it comes to food), and gotta say, this place is awesome. Great service, great food, great wine. Would definitely come again.
(5)Gerry W.
315 restaurant & wine bar is located 2 blocks from the historic downtown plaza. The restaurant offers a french dining experience in a renovated southwestern residence. Outdoor dining is available on the front patio. Which overlooks the Santa Fe Trail. The wine list is extensive and the bar area serves as a nice tasting room. We were seated promptly upon arrival at our reservation time. The dining room is an elegant intimate space. The restaurant was conversation friendly until a large party arrived towards the end of our meal. Service was prompt and our server had a friendly and conversational manner. As a starter we ordered the Squash Blossom Beignets. 4 nice size blossoms stuffed with goat cheese fondue and coulis. These were perfectly fried crispy outside and melt in your mouth cheese inside. My entree was Seared Sea Scallops with Baby Head Lettuce roasted beets, poached leeks, baby fingerling potatoes & sherry mushroom vinaigrette. The scallops were sweet and tender. There was a nice contrast of flavors with the beets and sherry mushroom vinaigrette. My wife's entree was the Steak Frites. A 10 oz. New York strip served with herb butter. A large perfectly cooked piece of beef with plenty of flavor. For desert we shared the Profiteroles that are served with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce. The 3 pieces were perfect for sharing.
(4)Anthony R.
My server was Alex. She was incredible. I would go back if only to talk to her about wine pairing and what else I should order. She knows her stuff when it comes to food and alcohol. This is a great little restaurant that has upheld it's reputation for many years and I can't wait to go back.
(5)Bobbie M.
In terms of elevated staples there really is no other restaurant of this caliber in Santa Fe. The chef, the staff, the fellow patrons, and the constant parade of dishes circling the dining room all meld into a candlelit accord. The feeling is intimate yet comfortable. The house made charcuterie is to die for. The chef just constantly flies in oysters and crab legs and caviar and truffles and then hand picks mushrooms. Bring everyone you know.
(5)Rachel P.
I had excellent service at the bar while I was waiting for my other guests, and they have a superb wine menu (which is half-price on Tuesday nights!). The food was delicious!!!! Though... wildly expensive!!!! Like shockingly expensive. $18 for a heirloom tomato salad that used two tomatoes and had a scoop of (admittedly delicious) fresh buratta? What the...!?!?!? Clearly, I am in Santa Fe. If you like wild game and fish, everything on the menu looks delicious. Outside of the price, my only (hopefully constructive) criticism is that the waiter looked like he had not ironed his shirt... pretty much... ever. When I am paying this kind of price for very good food... I expect you to look the part. He was a little off-kilter (as if he was working a double that night?), but seemed very knowledgeable. I just couldn't take him very seriously when he looked like a bum. His food and wine suggestions were excellent, however. I will most definitely be back when I need to bask in some delicious wild game (and/or there are specials I can afford), and on Tuesday nights!
(4)Sharon R.
AWESOME employees! My friend and I stopped in for a drink and stayed for several. The folks here are super friendly and fun to be around! We had already eaten, but the food looked and smelled great!
(5)Scott R.
Good food, service, and wine. The Caesar salad with calamari was delicious, as was the salmon. We were a table of six--everyone enjoyed their meal. It made for a terrific first evening in Santa Fe.
(4)Amanda M.
This is our favorite place in Santa Fe, about ten minutes from our house! I am such a Francophile, and love having our own French bistro nearby. We try to go every Tuesday (half-price bottles of wine--seriously, you need to go on Tuesday!), the atmosphere is intimate and nice/informal, the food consistent and always well-prepared and tasty (I get the steak frites when a special doesn't grab me, and I am picky about my steak frites). Also great cocktails and yummy desserts. On nice summer evenings, our little dog goes with us to sit on the patio, and she is always remembered and welcomed with her own treat. The staff is amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. I have also eaten alone at the cozy bar and felt totally comfortable (great value on the bar menu). Highly recommend!
(5)Tammy Y.
We had an amazing dinner at this place and the service was great as well. We had the Seared Sea Scallops with Roasted Pepper Escabeche and Braised Sea Bass with Heirloom Tomatoes, both were fresh and perfectly prepared. We then finished with Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry sauce & whipped cream, and that too was yummy. The restaurant is cozy and makes for a great night out with a special someone.

I attended the Buffalo Trace Whiskey Dinner at 315 last night, and it was better than everything I hoped it would be. The Kentucky distillery sent a very knowledgeable representative to discuss each bourbon we enjoyed with each scrumptious course. He also enlightened us to the amazing world of barrel aging by explaining some of the experimental methods being used by the distillery. For example, they have a retractable roof over one of their aging areas because they discovered that the presence of sunlight can actually improve the quality of the bourbon. They stumbled upon this aging secret one year when the roof was blown off of one of their rackhouses by a tornado. Who knew? Yes, the atmosphere was full of knowledgable conversations, but the multicourse dinner paired with the nuances of different whiskeys was astonishing. The meal began with a baby arugula salad with roasted pears and pecans. It was paired with the Buffalo Trace Bourbon, which was super smooth. It was a very enjoyable way to begin a meal. The next course was a uniquely prepared pork belly with cider and soy. I've had pork bellies prepared wrong before, but not this one, it was just right! The sauce complimented the usual saltiness that pork belly presents by creating flavors that were perfectly balanced. The chef even brought around some coarse smoked salt to add an extra element to this culinary delight. It was paired with the Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon. A bold bourbon that may have caused me to grow a chest hair or two. Then, things really heated up as the sultry south was channeled for the main event. We had southern fried quail with a coffee barbeque sauce paired with the Thomas Handy, Single Barrel Rye. As I am originally from the fine state of Georgia, I had my doubts about anything being called southern fried in Santa Fe, but the dish was good enough to earn the title, even if the barbeque sauce was a little on the light side for me. I am a big fan of the molasses based barbeque sauces, and this one went a different route. However, it was delicious all the same, and the Thomas Handy really packed a punch. I had to cut that one back with a bit of water. The initial inhale of the intoxicating aroma may have caused some of my nose hairs to singe. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and the end of this meal was my favorite part. For dessert, we had dry cherry and white chocolate bread pudding with bourbon sauce. It was to die for! I scraped every last drop of sauce from my plate. It was paired with the Stagg Jr. Bourbon, which was a sentual spirit and an ease off the throttle from the intensity of the prior two. The service was so stellar that I wanted for nothing. My water glass stayed full, the bread basket was restocked every time the last piece was touched, and well timed inquiries were made about my enjoyment of the meal. What more could you ask for? I highly reccomend this restaurant. It has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Santa Fe. If you have the oppertunity to attend any of the specially planned wine, or in this case whiskey, dinners, do it! You'll be happy you treated yourself to such an amazingly unique experience.
(5)Dominic S.
Do you want great food and wine? Do you have a dog with you? This is the place to go. We had a fantastic meal out on the patio and brought along our German Shepherd Dog puppy. The wine offerings are great. The food options were great and seasonal. Much cheaper and better value than Cafe Pasqual's which is what everyone recommends. I'd recommend walking a little further and enjoying dinner here.

Had an unfortunate dining experience here on Valentine's Day last night. The service was fine, and wine wonderful, but the food was quite disappointing. For the holiday they had a prix fixe menu, and I chose the lobster bisque for an appetizer. It was tasty, but nothing very special about it. My main course was sea bass, and it was awful. It had some sort of chemical taste, which to me was like the flavor of extra-bad tap water. It was also quite dry, which the nice aioli helped with some, but the flavor was unbearable. The accompanying brussels sprouts and rice were both just okay. For dessert, I chose the pear cake, which was also on the dry side, and didn't have enough caramel sauce with it to mitigate that problem. I think I must have just had bad luck in picking what I did on the prix fixe menu, which was $75 a head. The only money well spent last night in my opinion was for the great wine and the tip for our server, who was very nice.
(2)Lisa S.
Excellent dinner from start to finish. We were able to sit out on the patio with the dog, as most of Santa Fe restaurants with a patio allow. Great wine selection, we started with squash blossoms, and had veal and duck from the specials menu. Expensive, but we knew that going in. Highly recommend. easy walk from the plaza area.
(5)Robert R.
Went on Valentine's day. Was served a cold greasy pork chop. Everyone got sick. Horrible experience. Had a really nice bottle of Merus cabernet which is a shame because the food was so bad.
(1)Hannah H.
My favorite place in Santa Fe a thousand times over. The chef, Louis Moskow, is always there greeting guests, which tops the dining experience with a personalized touch. The staff is likewise on point, incredibly knowledgable, and gracious. As for food, it is a well sourced and thoughtfully curated menu that changes seasonally. The bar is usually our go to location with its delicious oysters and outstanding bar menu - $8 steak frites doesn't get much better. A go-to place for locals and tourists, yummm
(5)Samantha T.
We went there for Valentine's Day. Was not really impressed at all. The decor needs updating. I had the lemon drop martini. The bartenders are of good quality. Lobster bisque was excellent so I was so excited about my main course. It came, I was disappointed. I ordered the sea bass and was in for a suprise. It came out and had skin on it. I wasn't expecting it . Being from Dallas I guess I am use to the Chilean Sea Bass. The dish was bland and unappetizing. Dessert was good. I had the flourless chocolate cake . Also, on a side note the girls restroom wasn't working.

The Monday before Thanksgiving I contacted 315 Restaurant to see if they would sell a pre-cooked, ready-to-eat turkey the day before Thanksgiving. My whole family was in town and all 6 of us were in need of a bird ready to go Wednesday evening. So I called 315 after reading a mention of their doing this last year and arranged for our purchase. I asked for the price and was quoted $6 a pound. I said "wow" as that is an excellent price. We discussed a 10ish pound bird only, no side dishes as we all love cooking and had plans for sides. We also discussed it being picked up at 4pm on Wednesday. Awesome. I was very excited. I show up at 4pm on the dot Wednesday. We were not exactly warmly welcomed, but I ignored that at the time. I get it, its dinner prep time. So eventually our turkey makes its way out and smells unbelievably good. We receive the bill and are shocked to see $156 staring at us! Really?!?!? How do you get from $6x10ish to $156?? I know turkeys CAN cost that much, but this is not what we agreed to. I ask the woman and she doesn't know, opting to get the guy I made arrangements with in the first place. He comes out in chef whites and hurriedly and dismissively shoots down our entire previous conversation. Here's how it roughly went: Me: This smells great but is over twice the price we agreed to. How did we get from $6/lb to $156? 315: We did NOT agree to $6/lb and I would not have agreed to just the turkey. I can't even get natural Diestel Turkeys for that price, let alone have it smoked for 5 hours. Me: We discussed $6/lb, 10ish pounds, no sides, and ready at 4 on Wednesday. 315: Well, $6/lb was our price last year. I can't sell it to you for that price. The only price I have is $26 per person for take home Thanksgiving dinner. If you don't want to pay this price I can happily sell to another customer as we over sold. Lets cover a few things quickly. 1: He said the price was $6/lb last year. He looked at me like I was crazy for quoting that price, but it was the price last year? 2: If you can't wholesale purchase a natural Diestel Turkey for $6/lb start buying at Whole Foods, where the same brand turkeys are being sold for $2.49/lb. Sorry, buddy, you were ripped off if you paid more than $2.49. 3: They were OVER SOLD FOR THANKSGIVING. Ok, so this means that families counting on a dinner from 315 were NOT GOING TO GET WHAT THEY ORDERED. Either he was lying on this point, they were hoping a ton of people would cancel between 4pm Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, or the restaurant is simply irresponsible. Call me crazy but you don't mess with the biggest family meal of the year. I was VERY disappointed, upset, and quite frankly embarrassed that the pre-ordered turkey we all counted on never made its way to our table. I will never visit this restaurant. I would also encourage those who plan to purchase Thanksgiving from 315 in the future reconsider their options; not because of what happened to me, but more because of the possibility of not receiving your bird in the first place due to their overselling and price gouging.

We celebrated Fathers Day with dinner @ 315. The restaurant is comfortable. The food was a roller coaster some poor others superb. The oysters and duck were very delicious. The crab claws should have been cracked for us and difficult to eat. The basil wrapped shrimp was over cooked. The waitress was somewhat over bearing and disrupted our conversation too frequently. I would be hesitant to consider a return. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain
