Contemporary American with modern western accents highlighted by candles and a cuisine reflective of a clean contemporary style.
The dinner menu features Contemporary American Cuisine with Southwest accents showcasing steaks, chops and seafood with local, natural and organic products. Signature appetizers and entrées are complimented by a selection of accompaniments to enhance the meal.
Santa Fe Farmer's market provides an excellent backdrop for seasonally appropriate produce that is equally important in the savory menu as it is in the dessert selections.
Chef Brian Cooper has developed a menu of contemporary American selections with Southwest influences made from farm fresh and organic foods that feature creative, bold flavors that are designed to ignite the senses.
Luminaria features the distinction of using local, farm fresh foods such as Talus Wind Lamb, South Mountain Dairy Goat's Milk products and the Santa Fe's Farmer's Market. Flame and heat play an integral role in the selection of spices and cooking techniques used to prepare fresh daily menu features. Signature menu items featured at Luminaria nightly include Condit Duck Tamale; Fresh Sweet Pea Soup; Spanish Chorizo Wrapped Scallops with Lemon Spaetzle, Wilted Arugula, and Sweet Corn Sauce; as well as Ancho Braised Beef Short Rib with Parsnip Puree, Young Squash, and Crisp Horseradish.
The design and décor of the restaurant is clean, crisp, warm and inviting. Design elements are based on the ancient history, traditions, arts and crafts of the Anasazi and their ancestors, the northern pueblo people - but with a contemporary edge.
The colors, textures and lighting evolved from Santa Fe's past to a contemporary "urban country" design that has transformed the space into a fun and edgy environment. The stunning Kiva fireplace and dozens of large hurricane luminaries and candles creates a light-filled atmosphere that welcomes you in and makes you want more.
Outdoor patio dining offers guests stunning views of the historic Loretto Chapel and town. The patio is filled with a fabric draped arbor, blooming flowers and vines, candle light and an outdoor chiminea. This is a dining experience that is truly unique to Luminaria and the spirit of Santa Fe.
Luminaria is romantic, comfortable, private and not just another meal - it is the experience you have been waiting for!
