More information on Rio Chama Steakhouse

Serving up tasty steaks in a refined ranch atmosphere, this is one of Santa Fe's most popular restaurants. It's a good spot for a business lunch or a fun-filled evening, and the patio is a bright spot during warm months. Service is efficient, and there's a full bar. I suggest sticking to the steaks here, as the fish isn't always as fresh as it ought to be. My favorite for lunch is the buffalo patty. Lunch also brings a good selection of salads and sandwiches, as well as steaks at more reasonable prices than dinner. Evenings, the prime rib is a big seller, as is the filet mignon. For dessert, try chocolate cake. The bar here romps during happy hour, when the booths fill up and martinis nearly overflow. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
