$31 to $50
Regional American (Southwestern)
The authentic Santa Fe cuisine on which Geronimo focuses is rooted in the traditional foods of the Apache and Navajo peoples, with some Spanish and Anglo-Saxon influences.

The bar, one of the largest and certainly the most unique in New Haven, offers over 500 types of tequila in addition to an extensive wine list and myriad top-shelf liquors. In winter, the expansive dining room, framed in slate and walnut complete with a leather wall, is warmed by an adobe fireplace (traditionally called a kiva). In the warmer months, the glass paneled wall, which offers a year-round view of Crown Street, opens up onto the largest patio bar and dining area in the region.

We are primarily reservation only, and we plan on 90 minutes per reservation. If you need more time, let us know when you book your table and we will be happy to accommodate!

After 9 PM, all guests must be 21 years of age or older unless accompanied by a legal guardian or placing/picking up a takeout order.

    The prices seem to keep creeping up, and the food was good but short of outstanding. Service and ambience were excellent though and its a great dining experience.

    We had a terrible customer service experience at Geronimos. At the end of dinner, my boyfriend and I ordered one more round of drinks and asked for the check. As soon as the waitress served us our drinks, the hostess came over and rudely asked us to leave because they needed our table for another reservation. We kindly said no problem, we will just finish our drinks we were just served first. 10 minutes later I went to use the restroom before we left, and when I returned the manager had sent security to our table to escort us out. This was completely inappropriate, if they needed our table they should not have continued to serve us or they could have politely asked us to sit at the bar. I love the food and drinks here, but this was by far the WORST customer service I have ever experienced.

    Some of the best food we have eaten in a while. My husband is from the South West and he said the Hatch Green Chile stew was the best he has ever had. The carne asada tacos were delicious and the street corn was so good. Our only complaint is we wished the corn tortillas were slightly larger. Table side guacamole, plantains and pork belly tacos were also amazing. We will gladly make the hour drive to eat here again!

    Met up with a client for a business lunch out on the patio, and the ceiling fans kept the temperature reasonable even on an especially hot day. The street noise was occasionally loud, but the restaurant noise was minimal. The food was good, and if I hadn't been working (and it wasn't the middle of the afternoon) I'd definitely have taken advantage of their extensive tequila and mezcal list. The service was attentive and friendly without being interruptive, which is exactly what I wanted. Recommended, and I plan on coming back (preferable for fun rather than work),

    After getting seated, Waited 15 minutes until greeted by waitress. Waitress got very short with us when we told her we had been sitting a while before being helped. Just an acknowledgement would’ve been fine.

    This place has gone downhill terribly since the pandemic and it’s a shame because the food/drink is decent. But the tables and chairs on the patio are in poor shape. The patio is dirty - we got dirty dishes and something floating in our water . Dirty dishes sat on empty tables for an hour it was just a shame because we used to love this place

    Food was very filling and very tasty overall! Crab quesadillas were slightly bland but the carne asada quesadilla was very good. Chicken enchilada and vegan quesadilla were all also very tasty. Was a little surprised that there were no chips and salsa/bread when we sat down as is the norm in most restaurants. Price was good for portion sizes and flavor.

    Food was excellent as always. If you’re playing on relaxing and enjoying the great food on a Friday night, pick another night. Tables on the patio have a time limit so be prepared to be asked to move or wrap it up.

    It's still a great place, but the prices are getting up there. $18 for a guacamole and chips bowl? Almost as much as my meal, pork burrito, $19. Love the food, but we may need another place to go before College Street shows.

    Food/drinks were great as always. Server was good. Host/hostess not so much. Got there they gave my table to someone else (said my party was already sitting - and that was not my case). Then proceeded to make my party wait another 15-20 mins bc they could not give away another table.

    Table side guacamole was fantastic, as were the drinks, but it was all down hill from there. Restaurant was understaffed and our server was overwhelmed. Very nice guy, and in his defense, it would be difficult for anyone to handle that many tables at once. Entrees were very disappointing. Had to send one of them back after just a couple of bites.

    Reservation was 5pm. It was not crowded. We waiting 25 minutes for a drink. After an hour we still had not had our order taken. After an hour and 15 minutes we just asked for the check. Food is great but we had not time as we were trying to get to a concert. Took another 25 minutes for him to bring the check. Very disappointed!

    We had a reunion of sorts today for brunch and I wish we had got our servers name- she was SO kind, patient, and professional! The hostess was equally kind and professional! I may have to update this with names! There were five of us, and we all loved the food and drink. We have been to this restaurant multiple times during Covid so always sat outside. Today it was amazing to experience the calm ambience of inside! The manager and staff were truly nice as I believe we overstayed - and I will make sure it does not happen again - but they were all just so nice!! Coming back for sure as you can’t really go wrong here! Highly Recommend ❣️‼️

    Geronimo’s never disappoints. Had a round table that is for 2 or 3 people and it’s tucked by the bar so we had the bartenders taking care of us. She didn’t tell us her name but was terrific dirty blond hair with some f green streaks in it and her partner blonde male with curls. Both made awesome cocktails. We had the starters like always guacamole and mango salsa. So yummy!! I had chicken tings burrito bowl which was sooooo yummy and my husband had carne asada quesadillas and my daughter had carne asada tacos everything was well prepared and hot which I am not of fan of cold Mexican food. Great meal and servers. Well done. Even met the GM Owen. Great guy. Very busy and hands on. Helped the bar the servers etc. was impressed. He was visible and never had his hands in his pockets We missed the regular guys at the door. I know 1 was going to UNH and the other was just nice. The blonde guy at the door Saturday not so much. Lacked character and personality. Not the best considering he’s who greets you on approach.

    We arrived on a rainy busy early Saturday evening with a reservation for 4. The table we were given was being dripped on steadily from the ceiling. Impossible to sit there!! The staff responded by moving the table a few inches, still steadily dripping on our heads! When I simply asked for another table (there were 3 empty tables for 4 on the patio) , the staff insisted that “the computer had assigned us to THAT table and we could not be moved to any other table”. I never heard of such a dumb system! Obviously we left and had a great meal at another restaurant across the street!
