Fodor's Expert Review NOSA
The name of this refined, romantic prix-fixe restaurant and inn nestled against towering ramparts in the Ojo Caliente River Valley stands for NOrth of SAnta Fe, and indeed this very special culinary retreat is close enough to the city (a 45-minute drive) to draw foodies for one of the rarefied five-course, farm-to-table dinners. But NOSA also has four elegantly furnished suites, in case you'd prefer to spend the night—not a bad idea, given the restaurant's enticing wine list. The high-ceilinged dining room is warmed by a fireplace and has tall windows with dramatic views of the surrounding mountains. Daily breakfasts are also open to the public and have become popular with guests of Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa, just up the road.
