As far as memorable restaurants go in the Land of Enchantment, there are numerous. This restaurant, however, is less of a traditional restaurant and more of a dining concept that is truly one-of-a-kind. Upon a native plant nursery in Santa Fe, you’ll be invited into an intimate and rustic home where you’ll experience a meal made with ingredients that are available that day. The menu changes daily, so you can come back time and time again to experience this incredible lunchtime fare.
