Radish & Rye

We were underwhelmed by our experience at R & R. The service was nice. The menu did not offer GF & the kitchen did not seem especially accommodating except to leave off a portion of the dish that contained gluten, which left fewer choices. For example, one of the very few apps I could eat was roasted asparagus, and they put the garnish of andouille crumbs on the side which was fine, but $14 for a small plate of plain grilled asparagus seemed overpriced even for “downtown Santa Fe prices”. They served a small dish of ‘fennel duck fat’ popcorn which I could eat, and that was a fun touch. I had the pork chop on polenta which was huge and delicious. My husband had the trout (not GF) which he also enjoyed. We had flourless chocolate cake which was delicious. I can drink bourbon, scotch, etc w/o problems- maybe because it’s distilled. R&R is a Bourbon Bar, and indeed had three pages of Bourbons to choose from, which was fabulous. I found one of my favorites that is so difficult to get anywhere: Angel Envy. That was a plus! However, when I asked for a taste of something comparable before ordering another drink (which I’ve had at other restaurants commonly), the waitress told me “they don’t do tastes”. OK, again not accommodating. Overall, food & service were good but we won’t go back.

Great food, and we ultimately had a safe meal, but surprised to find that neither waiter or owner knew what gluten-free meant.

Many gluten free options. I had the fried cauliflower, which was spicy, but very tasty; lamb chops; and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was delicious!
