Anasazi Restaurant — Menu Guide

Anasazi Restaurant is the dining room of Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi at 113 Washington Avenue, a block from the Plaza — the most decorated hotel dining room in Santa Fe. Executive chef Cristian Pontiggia (with chef de cuisine Oliver Cortez) cooks refined Southwestern food in an adobe room of viga beams and Native textiles: bison carpaccio, the famous mushroom cappuccino, Akaushi beef tenderloin. Unlike most peers, the restaurant's official site carries a real priced menu — though it's the in-room dining menu, so the dining-room figures may differ. Everything is written in our own words.

  • Drinks: coffee $9–$10; juices $9.
  • Special events: the September 25, 2026 Wine & Chile Fiesta dinner with Hundred Acre wines was listed at CAD 695 per person.

What we'd order

If we had one dinner here, this is how we'd play it:

  • Start with: the mushroom cappuccino — it's the legend.
  • The splurge: the bison carpaccio followed by the Akaushi tenderloin.
  • The drink: the Silver Coin margarita.
  • Finish: the citrus tres leches cake.

Planning your visit

  • Reserve ahead — via the Rosewood site's inquiry form or 505-988-3030; this is a small, popular room.
  • Prices are official but in-room-menu era: the figures above come from the official in-room menu; ask about the dining room's current menu when you book.
  • Wine & Chile Fiesta: Anasazi hosts ticketed wine dinners during Santa Fe's September fiesta — they sell out.
  • The tequila table: the hotel's exclusive tequila experience is worth asking about.
