“ Wonderful service and excellent food. Amazing ambience, too. We ate out on the patio and ordered the Trio Dip (queso, guacamole, and salsa with tortilla chips) as our appetizer. All three tasted great. I personally had the Julia Burger (lettuce, tomato, pickle chip, and cheddar cheese), which tasted great. Overall great place! :D ”
“ Julia at the La Posada Hotel is a great place for drinks, lunch, or dinner in an elegant, historic setting only a short walk from the bustle of downtown Santa Fe. Outside, choose a table or a comfy chair near the firepit. Inside, choose the TVed bar or the spacious dining room. The food is good, the staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. ”
“ I had the marinated skirt steak cooked medium, grilled shrimp, over Spanish and garlic mashed potatoes. It was amazing? The steak was super tender and everything meshed well together for an amazing flavor! I will certainly be ordering this again during my week stay here. ”
“ As hotel guests we decided to try out the restaurant on a night we were feeling a bit lazy. Wow! We were so surprised and impressed with the food quality, taste, and presentation for a hotel restaurant that we made sure to plan another night to eat here again. Our first order was the charcuterie plate followed by the veal and filet. The appetizer was thoughtfully presented and a great mix of sweet and savory nibbles (we took leftovers to our room for later). The mains were succulent and filled with flavor. The meats were cooked to perfection and the veg accompaniment was perfectly portioned for the plate. This was proper upscale dining with good size portions of the star of the dish. On our second visit we tried the lamb, beet salad, and green chile stew. All were fantastic. Again, well seasoned, meat falling off the bone, salad was perfectly dressed and beautifully presented, and the stew had a lovely depth of flavor. We have tried a number of highly recommended restaurants around town on our week long visit and this has been a standout. ”
“ We had a group of about a dozen and enjoyed excellent service and selection with many getting different dishes. Everyone enjoyed it all, including dessert. Staff was attentive and helped with wine selection. It was a great experience and one I certainly recommend. ”
“ It was a busy Friday night the day after thanksgiving but the staff did a fantastic job giving great service. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. Wings were fantastic and hummus was a great appetizer. Definitely going to come back here ”

Look no further than Julia, a Spirited Restaurant & Bar, where history and modernity meet in a stunning setting. With a rich history dating back to 1882, this establishment is a must-visit for anyone interested in the past. And once you're inside, you'll be greeted by warm and professional staff who are dedicated to making your experience unforgettable. During our visit, we were lucky enough to be seated next to a cozy fireplace, adding to the warm and relaxing ambiance created by the exposed wood and beautiful architecture. But the real star of the show was the food and drink. We started off with a jalapeno cucumber margarita that was expertly crafted with the perfect balance of flavors. For our entrees, we opted for the rosemary roasted half chicken and bacon-wrapped fillet mignon with black truffle mashed potatoes and mole sauce. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. And for dessert, we indulged in the pecan caramel cheesecake, served with fresh fruit and whipped cream. It was the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable meal. But what really set Julia apart was the exceptional service. From the bartender wishing us a happy anniversary to our server Karel going above and beyond to make the night extra special, we felt truly taken care of from start to finish. Don't miss out on the opportunity to dine at Julia and experience all it has to offer. You won't regret it. ”
“ Julia, the restaurant inside La Posada Hotel in Santa Fe, NM, offers a warm dining experience with standout service. Fatima and Rosa, who work on the patio, deliver exceptional attention and hospitality, making the meal enjoyable. The margaritas are notably excellent, a highlight of the menu, while the food itself is decent, meeting expectations but not particularly remarkable. Overall, it’s a pleasant spot for drinks and great service with a scenic atmosphere. ”
