Exceptional experience. Food was excellent, flavorful and fresh. The cocktails were outstanding- superbly crafted, and just right for the warm evening. The atmosphere is mix of warm and cool chic Santa Fe, live music fun. And the sofa area, well it is very nice indeed. We found our new hangout.

This is our second time eating here. Brought our out- of-town friends. Love the ambience, food and service (the server worked with us to turn off overhead AC which was too chilly!) Our friends were impressed. This is a little gem of a place that is so different from most eateries in SF. Will be going back again. (We were hoping to eat in the “garden area” but the skies opened up and changed our plan! )

This is a very “out of the way “ hidden spot. With the numerous eateries in Santa Fe, this spot is so cool…small, (tables way too small to eat in even for 2), with great decor, a small eating are up in a platform are, a sunken area for eating closer to the bar, a large room with comfy couches and long coffee type tables to eat at and a lovely patio are out back for additional seating. Totally cool vibe, very delicious food actually… a must go… Reasonably priced as well. Music in Saturday nights so avoid the step up small dining area on Sat.

My husband and I decided to give The Mystic a try because it was Restaurant Week in Santa Fe and their menu looked like the best value for the menu options. The first course was green chile chicken skewers with a delightful green sauce. I ordered the nacholotes that were tasty but had they roasted the corn it would have been out of this world. My salad was suppose to have goat cheese but came without. Having that bit of tang would have really made the salad not be so try and lacking. We both ordered the rib eye steaks. I ordered my medium rare and it came out well done. However the steak was not tough and it was full of flavor. We ordered an apple tart and chocolate cake for dessert. They brought out a berry tart and a half melted flourless chocolate cake. Both were good but not what we were expecting. Overall the food was good but because it was Restaurant Week we expected more. Definitely would go back to try their regular menu.

It was a restaurant week and I found this place. The service was great and the food was fabulous. My only criticism was the steak was over, but the flavor was still there. It was a great date night kind of place.

We tried The Mystic during restaurant week. The restaurant is very comfortable and lovely decorated. The food and cocktails were great as well as the service was great. We will definitely go back. It is a small place and once the music started it was a little hard to talk with our friends

I had made a reservation for that day for a birthday dinner and I was told by the front desk at the hotel the restaurant was closing early. I ask why because I had reservation on that night at 8pm and I show him the email. He responded oh it let you . He was surprised but dint show sympathy or nothing just a small sorry. I bet this was gonna be an amazing birthday night if it was open. I had breakfast there and it was delicious but I was hopping for something better on that night very disappointing that I didn't receive at least a cancelation notice or something. Had to find a place after that at the same night but rather that that my two days staying were great and breakfast was amazing thank you
