Restaurant Martin is a fine-dining restaurant in Santa Fe serving dinner only, with a dining room and outdoor patio and a considered wine list.
The cooking runs classic and composed. Duck breast, sea bass, and a butternut squash bisque appear regularly, alongside a vegetarian sampler, salad, and sorbet to close.
The restaurant's chef has drawn sustained James Beard Foundation attention: Best Chef finalist honors in 2022 and 2015, Best Chef semifinalist mentions in 2016, 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, and a Best New Restaurant semifinalist nod in 2010. The Michelin Guide selected the restaurant in 2026, and Santa Fe New Mexican has named it among the city's favorites.
Opinion on the experience itself is split — some diners describe it as a local gem with strong food, service, and atmosphere, while others report inconsistent execution and service that doesn't always match the price.
