Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009. Awarded the prestigious AAA 4 Diamond Award and ranked fourth in the country for fine dining by Trip Advisor, Chef Olea is honored to have won the 2022 james Beard Award, Best Chef: Southwest.

    The entire experience was perfect. Service in this establishment is outstanding. Dinner did not disappoint. From the cocktails and appetizer thru to dessert, we enjoyed everything. We started our meal with wine, an old fashion and the pork belly tacos. For dinner we enjoyed the sea bass and elk tenderloin. We completed our meal with the tres leches. We truly enjoyed everything aspect of dinner. Even the corn bread and butters that were brought to our table were amazing. Well worth a visit. The next time our travels bring us to Santa Fe, we will dine here again.

    Best meal we had in Santa Fe, by far. Flavors were layered and complex. We had the green goddess salad, conchinita pibil, catalan stew, and the pinon ice cream. Everything was absolutely delicious!

    Beef and Leaf for lunch is always spot on. We had a Vegan with us, and the owner was kind enough to make some substitutions for the prix fixe lunch. Lane is always attentive and kind. This is a gem of a restaurant especially when looking for a cozy, quieter place to eat and chat.
