The Bull Ring is part institution, part great restaurant. In its new digs on Washington Avenue, it serves up the best steaks in New Mexico.
The bar is dark and clubby, designed well for the politicians who lunch there when the State legislature is in session.
The dining room has the look of a classic steak house, with the deep padded red booths and elegant tables.
Steaks are the usual cuts, from great prime rib to a towering porterhouse. Try the filet. Meats are prepared in similar style to the Ruth's Chris Steakhouses, but the supplier of meat (a well kept secret) may be just a hair better.
For lunch, try the steak and eggs, or, if steak isn't your thing, try their Cobb Salad. Most of their salads are superb. The shrimp remoulade is outstanding. Deserts are their one weak department. It's run-of-the-mill fare here. The Haagen-Dazs down on the Plaza, a short walk away, has better cakes and specialties.
Service here is some of the best you'll get in Santa Fe, although there are days where we've had some of the waiters from planet Mars that unfortunately drift from restaurant to restaurant in Santa Fe.
The Bull Ring in its prior digs near the "Roundhouse," the state capital building, where Rio Chama Steakhouse now operates, was an infamous watering hole for politicians, banditos, artists and oddballs. At one time in days long gone by it was rumored to even have a brothel connected with it.
Today the more colorful crowd has drifted down the street to the Pink Adobe Restaurant. For politicians, local businessmen, and tourists in search of a great steak dinner though, the trip to 150 Washington Avenue's inner courtyard yields a dining experience that is superb from start to finish. |
