Blue Heron Restaurant at Ojo Santa Fe Spa Resort

Five stars for the food, for freshness and flavor. The prices are reasonable for high quality options. Make a reservation and show up hungry. You don’t have to be a guest of the hotel or the spa to enjoy the restaurant but if you’re spending time in the pools I recommend dinner afterwards. There’s a coffee shop with snacks, salads, and sandwiches on the other side of the resort to help hold you over. The service was lacking in my experience, our server wasn’t attentive and we felt like a bit of a bother. I didn’t pay much attention to it but possibly because they didn’t pay much attention to us. We still had a wonderful experience, the overall atmosphere is more tranquil outside the restaurant than within. If the weather is nice, consider outdoor seating. Overall we had a pleasant experience. Both the ribs and chicken were delicious, tender with a robust flavor, I recommend the ribs over the chicken if you’re okay with red meat. I’d like to try brunch next time!

Shockingly disappointing experience with the food. The Blue Heron is in an undeniably peaceful and pleasant location. The facility is lovely and the service excellent. The limited drink menu is what it is, and would be tolerable if the food was excellent. We ordered salads, which were nice and not over dressed. What left us stunned was the main course. The quality of the cooking and food was total amateur hour and leaves me both disappointed and embarrassed for the restaurant. My wife ordered the “Pan Seared Scallops” for $38. Out came four (4) pathetic little scallops, the smallest of which was literally the size of a quarter. She said they were tough, rubbery and tasted like they had been microwaved. I ordered the wagyu steak special, medium rare. The tiny half inch thick sliver of gristle came out nearly blackened, cooked solidly through, just shy of leather in its texture. Side of shrimp overcooked and dry too. There is no way to interpret the results other than assume the cook has no training or professional supervision. Regardless, the quality of the meats didn’t leave much for a trained cook to work with. It saddens me to write this review. Typically, I enjoy sharing our joy of the excellent restaurants in town. In this case, we spent $180 on a meal that was regretfully, unforgettable.

First time eating at this place and it was excellent, from the service to the food. The farm to table and all the local ingredients made the dishes taste Amazing!! It is a nice place to eat dinner or to get food before you take a dip. Which we did.. the ribs and the lemonade vodka drink is what got!!

We had dinner and lunch here while staying at the resort. The menu has a nice selection of starters including salads and and crudite, which were both generous portions, well prepared with fresh ingredients, and tasty. For dinner we had tortilla soup and pork osso buco, both were generous portions and good, but soup was served warm and not hot enough. We got take out for lunch and sat on the patio, which was lovely. Both salads, the Cobb and Berry salad, we're really good and again, hearty servings. Staff provided great service and were very friendly. We would definitely dine here again while staying at the resort!

There’s nothing like dipping out of your normal life to live like a rockstar if only for a few short days. While enjoying a weekend at Ojo Spa in Santa Fe we indulged in a fantastic dinner at the Blue Heron. Seated outside, the fresh air & sunset created a magical setting. Service was great also. The roasted pepper appetizer was so unique & flavorful. The cocktails also delightful. My only complaint was the ceviche was a little bland & could have used some jalapeño heat or even a little NM famous green chile.

Service was great. Ambiance was unparalleled (outdoor patio amongst the trees, you can hear running water, feels private). However the food itself left much to be desired unfortunately. The vegetarian cauliflower dish was 28 dollars and had canned tomatoes, unseasoned steamed spinach, and corn that was either from a can or previously frozen. Sea bass was overpriced but good nonetheless. Overall it's a beautiful space but the food doesn't quite catch up with the four star caliber of the resort. If you're able to explore Santa Fe, would recommend doing so as there are amazing tood options within 20-30 minutes.

The best salad I've had in a long time. It contained fruit, green vegetables and very tender marinated pork. Delicious 😋. And a refreshing mimosa to accompany it.

Dreadful! Do not recommend. Food is mediocre. Service was dreadful, very unfriendly. Slow when i asked for extra items, not a full explanation of the food i had ordered. Server was very quick and sharp with me, he dumped the bill on my table without asking me if i wanted desert, which i did as it was my birthday. I got a sneer when i asked for the desert menu. Food was gross! I was a single person eating and they took the other chair at the table away and gave to another table, making me feel really inadequate!
