Arroyo Vino

This was my first time visiting and it absolutely will not be the last as this amazing restaurant in one of my top favorite restaurants of all time. There's no exaggeration when I say that the ingredients taste extraordinarily fresh and bright and the combinations are Pure culinary wizardry. Everything on the menu was outstanding, but the panacotta defies gravity. This is an absolute jewel. Congratulations to everybody involved in this restaurant. I can't fail to mention the extraordinary Wine collection that is available with price ranges of all comfort levels.

Outstanding meal on our first visit We tried Arroyo Vino for Santa Fe Resturant Week. Since this was a preset menu and our first visit, my wife and I decided to try as many different items offered as possible. Everything we ordered was outstanding. This was one of the best meals weve had in Santa Fe, and weve lived here for 30 years. The chef here is very talented. What we tried: Shareables (Choose One Per Two People) Hamachi Sashimi yuzu ponzu, serrano, cara cara orange, daikon sprouts (GF) The quality of the Hamachi was as good as any sushi bar anywhere. But what made this an outstanding app was the combination of the items listed when paired with this outrageous fish. The serrano, orange, and sprouts, along with the Ponzu, made each bite special. Utterly outstanding! Firsts Thai Red Curry Squash Soup coconut milk, lime crema, crispy shallots, toasted peanuts (v/gf) Its probably the best Thai curry soup weve ever had. We visit the Souper Bowl yearly and experience many soups here in SF. This soup was excellent. Watch out, Chef Obo; this soup is up there with the finest in town. Perfect heat, a great combination of textures, again, utterly outstanding. Hand Rolled Cavatelli Oregon bay shrimp, clams, capers, garlic, chile flakes, oregano breadcrumbs. We never had Cavatelli, but what caught our eye and made us order it was the addition of shrimp, clams, and what sounded unique: oregano breadcrumbs. This dish was full of deep flavors that we loved from first bite to last. Mains Crispy Duck Confit white beans, local spinach, balsamic onions (GF) The duck was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. I was never much of a cooked spinach fan; I prefer it raw, but the chef did a fantastic job with this version and changed my mind about cooked spinach forever. Sweet balsamic onions paired wonderfully with the other items on the plate. Duck can be challenging to prepare correctly, but this version was delicious. Sicilian Style Grilled Swordfish crushed tomatoes, fennel, olives, capers, pearl couscous The swordfish with the tomatoes/capers and olives was marvelous. The fish was high-quality, moist, fresh tasting, and cooked perfectly. The fennel was very unusual and tasty in how the chef prepared it. It looked like thin shavings of onion, but of course, it wasnt, and it didnt have an overwhelming fennel flavor, just lovely and different. For dessert, we tried a Meyer Lemon tart, which was nice and light, a lovely finish to the dinner. Service was outstadning. Nice interior, small but quiet despite being full. We were blown away, but this was a perfect meal, and we cant wait to return.

A "Restaurant Week" extrordinaire!! Our dinner tonight was very artfully created and wonderfully presented! Jonathan was on-point as usual with descriptive suggestions not only for wine, but also for menu selections as well. The menu, while limited to prix-fixe, is excellent in variety and originality!! Very visually appealing presentations of each course,and thoughtful pacing, made our evening memorable. We've dined here frequently, but this evening, as busy as "Restaurant Week" can be, was truly memorable!!
