The smartest restaurant in Santa Fe, set in a 19th-century hacienda on Canyon Road. The dining rooms are spare, white-walled, and softly lit — a deliberate retreat from the Southwestern visual overload of the city outside. Chef Mark Kiffin (a James Beard winner) cooks an American menu with Mediterranean and Southwestern accents.
