This beautiful, softly lit restaurant is so inviting and quiet, meaning you can carry on a conversation without hollering at each other across the table. The crab cake appetizer is the perfect marriage of flavors and textures. The French fried chicken is tender, flavorful, and juicy without being greasy. Dessert consisted of a classic champagne cocktail and a yummy molten chocolate cake with caramelized bananas. It's probably one of the best places in town!

Went with friends at 4:30P. Good thing we went early, place was hopping at 5. Originally sat us in the back off a pantry, but we were able to move to the best table in the main dining area with just a little nudge. Started with Happy Hour appetizers $2 shrimp and oysters. Many more to choose from. One person had the stuffed squash flower appetizer with goat cheese. Wide variety of entrees chosen. Salmon with veggies and mashed looked very inviting. Enough left to take home. Basil wrapped shrimp with curry sauce modest in size but very tasty. Shrimp were lightly battered and cooked to perfection. Clean plate club. Chicken Paella was the third entree. It came on a bed of rice and corn. Portion was generous and presentation was very nice. Clean plate club. I had the Fisherman's Stew. A hearty saffron broth loaded with shrimp, mussels, fish, clams and scallops. Potatoes, corn, radishes and avocado supported the stock which was delicious. Lest I say, CPC. We ended the meal with raspberry torte and coffee, and left more than satisfied. Service was very good, ambience was inviting and intimate. Highly recommend without any reservations. Prices were steep but Happy Hour discounts helped. Appears to be a one seating restaurant. We were there until almost 8 pm enjoying the company of good friends and a very good meal.

315 Restaurant & Wine Bar was a mixed experience for me. The bar area was way too cramped and loud, which made it hard to enjoy the atmosphere. My fish was unfortunately very dry, which was disappointing. The service was adequate but nothing exceptional. In the future, I'll definitely avoid the bar area. While it wasn't the best dining experience, I was worthy of four stars.

We haven't been to 315 in years and years; that was a mistake! I had dinner with a group of 14 (part of the Santa Fe Foodies). Everything everyone ordered was top-notch, and everyone in the group was extremely happy with all aspects of the food and service. My wife and I ordered off the "Fish House Menu" because we know 315 gets all its fish from the local Fishmonger here in Santa Fe (Above Sea Level), and the quality is as good as anywhere in the US. So, you out-of-towners, don't worry that you're in the high desert; if you want great fish, this is the place. We started with Sauteed Soft Shell Crab, a favorite of mine that I always order when I see it on a menu (it is a rarity). It was outstanding in every way. The green curry sauce was to die for. Then we had the Crispy Scallops. Good, but more like deep-fried baby scallops, which, while tasty, are not on par with the crab. Still enjoyable. For mains, we split a half order of Black Mussels and the Grilled Branzino. Both were superb. The sauce with the mussels was outstanding. One person at our table had the Rack of Lamb and raved about it; another tried the French Fried Chicken and was equally enthralled with this meal. The service was just outstanding in every respect, and Chef Moskow runs a very tight ship here. Benjamin was our main server, but he was assisted by a team of at least five others, and everyone was super attentive and professional. It is clear why 315 Bistro has been around for decades. Tip: Parking is free across the street in the State Land Office business parking lot.

It's been a long long time since I've been to dine at 315. It used to be one of my regular watering holes 10+ years ago. I am glad it's still as good as I remember. We sat in the front patio, it was super windy but still nice. Our wait staff made sure we had some umbrellas and checked in on us all the time. I tried their mezcal drinks, each very unique and delicious. I had six fresh oysters- so flavorful and tender. Also had the steak frittes, perfection. My friends had a variety of things including the basil wrapped shrimp, I wish had tried it. Everything was outstanding as always. Glad to have come back.

I don't just recommend, I highly recommend. We had a wonderful experience tonight for my birthday dinner. The food, the service, the ambiance were all stellar. We were greeted by the manager who had impeccable manners and fantastic cocktail knowledge. We started with a cocktail. My husband had a Weller old fashioned. I had an Americano. There are good cocktails and there are perfect cocktails. Ours were both perfect. We both opted for the prix fixe menu because it was so tempting. The appetizers were delicious. The Bœuf Bourgogne was excellent. And the apple crisp tasted like Christmas. The wine list is excellent, so many great options at very reasonable prices. I had the Haut Medoc (delicious) my hubs had the Alsatian Pinot (even more delicious). The menu is innovative. The presentation is beautiful. The wine list is fantastic. I was very impressed
