    As a solo traveler, I often hesitate to book a table at a highly sought after restaurant like coyote Café. But from the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the hostess and the maître D made a point of checking in to see about my dining experience. In fact when I ordered the incredible quail with cherry sauce, he sent a tiny taste of a lovely Pinot Noir to pair with this first course. I followed the appetizer with three beautifully seared sea scallops, and at the recommendation of my waitress, paired it with an Argentinian white wine. The cocktail list is incredibly creative with at least 10 tequila styled cocktails, each more interesting than the other. I enjoyed a lemon grass infused reposado along with my meal. It is rare that a restaurant gets it right on all aspects, but coyote Café continues to excel both in its food, preparation, ambience, and staff service.

    Really expecting more based on re views. Waited an hour for the entree to arrive and the food was cold. Restaurant too busy to handle that many customers at once. Would not go back.

    Wonderful restaurant with very good entrees. We were celebrating some small anniversaries and they added a nice touch of some champagne to our celebrations. Our waiter was absolutely amazing and handled my unique allergies wonderfully. He did a lovely job of describing the dishes and making suggestions for dessert and drink options. The dishes could use just a tiny bit more salt but we understand that it’s better to under rather than over salt any meal. All and all the ambiance and meal was delicious and we would go again.

    One entree had to be sent back. It was replaced but impacted the experience of eating together.

    Possibly the most attentive staff we have ever experienced. Wonderful food, wine selection, and atmosphere. Could not have had a better waiter than Paris!

    We understand we live in challenging times and training new team members is difficult and time consuming. But suffice to say, if we hadn’t had the exceptional experiences in the past of Kathy’s attention to detail and this was our first Coyote Cafe experience, I’m not sure we’d return. Table not set completely for our party of seven. Had to “ask” for cocktails before dinner. One of our party was even overlooked during that cocktail ordering process. Had to ask that excess wine and champagne glasses be removed from the small table after cocktails were served. Small table for a party of 7 was in a corner that required everything be “passed” from the server across those of us at the ends. Overall lack of attentiveness may have been the result of a busy Monday evening during Balloon Fiesta. No way to know. We may give ‘em one more try - the jury is still out.
