Foodies in Santa Fe Part 4--Dinner #2

We had spent most of Sunday walking around the Plaza area. Right before the holidays, the Native Americans bring their goodies to sell. I am not big into the turquoise jewelry, but there was plenty to choose from if you are. We did pick up an etching of a cat from a local artist that Nathaniel picked out. While walking around, we made sure to look at all the menus posted in front of the restaurants to see which places might be a good one for the whole family because while Nathaniel isn't as picky as some children, he still has his dislikes.

We continued to go back to read the menu at the Sleeping Dog Tavern, which is an upscale bar and grill that you are able to peep into the kitchen from the street. After watching the dishes that the chefs were preparing, we decided that we would give it a try.

When we got there around 7:30, there was no one eating at all (people were at the bar watching football) and we were questioning our choice of restaurants. But we are worries were swept away when we got our delicious food.

Nathaniel's fish and chips, made with salmon (his favorite):

Chris' duck confit with mashed sweet potatoes

And my favorite dish, Local Free-Range Steak with Horseradish Butter. Yummy!

The restaurant did start to get busier the longer we sat, so we didn't end up being the only ones eating in there. They also had some yummy beers on tap. Chris and I like to try out local beers whenever we travel somewhere. A great dinner to cap off our trip to Santa Fe!
