Synopses

The interiors of this fantastic mainstay offer an excursion to Mexico itself, full of glazed and terra cotta tilework, colorful flower arrangements, and scrubbed woodwork. A fireplace blazes, adding a note of welcome to the already-inviting surroundings. The cuisine melds French and American techniques with Southwestern ingredients, producing dishes that make mouths water with descriptions alone. Among them are honey and chili roasted duck enchiladas, London broil of elk, crown roast of barbecued spareribs with chipotle and caramelized pineapple glaze, and pecan and pumpkin seed encrusted trout. The experience is pricey but well worth the expense for such delights. For special occasions or self-indulgent treats, it's ideal.

We visited Chimayo during Sundance Film Festival. The supposedly fixed price menu was not really fixed as most of the entrees and appetizers had a surcharge.  The waiter was overwhelmed and the service was not stellar.  Overall the food was excellant but overpriced and the service was less than stellar.

The Scene
The terra-cotta tile, rough-hewn wood beams and punched-tin lanterns evoke Chimayo's namesake New Mexico mission. Subdued lighting and soothing music upstairs make for a romantic meal, while low ceilings and adjoining booths make the downstairs dining room particularly noisy.

The Food
Soup-lovers should begin with the four-soup taster (corn chowder, pumpkin bisque, spicy Southwestern wild mushroom, tortilla), but shouldn't overlook other options, because Chimayo's sauces are exquisite. The corn-habañero sauce that accompanies the seared scallop appetizer and the ancho chili and Mexican oregano sauce served with the filet mignon entree are so good, you'll mop up every last drop. Sauce isn't all that's memorable about filet mignon: Rubbed with mole spices, it's fork-tender and cooked exactly to order. Among other entrees, crown roast of barbecued spareribs is equally delicious: pork falls off the bone, and chipotle and caramelized pineapple glaze is the perfect complement. But really, it's hard to go wrong with anything you order.
