Bull Ring - Santa Fe

Very nice upscale steak house. Great ambience for special occasions and splurges. Service was on par for these days, not anything to brag on but ok. Food was very good and perfect for sharing.

Disappointed with my experience here. Nothing was awful but nothing was great. Our service was definitely off the night we went- under and over cooked steaks, bland food, different items brought out at weird times... the service and food here was that of a mid-cheap establishment and not fine dining. The only thing I thought was done perfectly was the loaded baked potato. And it was very good but considering the rest of our experience it wouldn't be enough to make me go back again.

This was the last time for us. It was without a doubt one of the worst dining experiences any of us had ever had not only in Santa Fe but anywhere else. The service was shameful. A steak was forgotten from the order consequently there was no dining together at our table. The lyonnaise potatos had no flavor. The shrimp cocktail tasted old and toxic. The salads were split when they were not requested to be split. The used utensils sat on our table the entire time during the meal. The waiter never came back to ask about the quality of the food. This was the last time we will dine at the Bull Ring. There were only 5 other occupied tables in the entire restaurant. There's no way that this restaurant has won best steak in Santa Fe the last several years. This was obviously paid for.

Everything is more expensive in Santa Fe, and I know this when I go out to eat there. Even so can somebody please tell me what's the market, and what's the price? These are the questions I really want to ask when I see this on a menu. Especially when an 8oz petite filet runs $48 bucks, and everything here is a la carte. I had a salad and a bowl of green chili (which was good) but I couldn't bring myself to order anything more after deciding that my wallet just couldn't handle the abuse. I can certainly afford a fine meal if I want, but unless I am celebrating becoming recently divorced I can't justify it. Three people, and one with just a salad and a bowl of chili ran the bill to well up over two hundred smackaroos. If you are wanting a good meal but don't care about impressing people by being seen coming out of this fine establishment, I would suggest any of the other options of fine food at more reasonable prices available in town.

This place offers everything anyone could ask for in a steak house. I could go on and on about all that one could in a review but in this review I want to point out my waiter. I have traveled around the world , this country and have eaten in food from peoples trunk to Michelin star restaurants. I have endured many types of service and I will say Marvin is one of the best I have come across. If I owned a restaurant I would have offered him a job in a heart beat. I would want him to run my place and train all of my employees in the art of service . I do not know what his ambitions are but sky is the limit with that young man.
