Lambert's of Taos - American restaurant in Taos - 123 Bent St, USA

Lambert’s was quite possibly my favorite dining experience. The atmosphere - dim lighting, cocktail jazz, Southwest style - was amazing, food was to die for, and service out of this world. I had the lamb shank and an old fashioned with their sourdough bread to start. My server was engaging and present, knew the menu well, and answered my questions so patiently. You gotta go.

I love Lambert’s! Our family eats at Lambert’s 3-4 times per year. The food, service and atmosphere is consistently excellent. Located in charming downtown Taos, NM, this restaurant has been a mainstay of fine dining for years. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. The restaurant uses local produce, meats, and fish from farmers and ranchers. The menu always offers wild game dishes. The menu is varied and there are always very interesting and creative dishes. Fresh seafood is also offered. The bar offerings are very diverse. The service is always excellent.

Amazing restaurant in Taos! Staff was so friendly, food was delicious, atmosphere was perfect. Many vegetarian/vegan options available that were all unique and divine.

Fantastic dinner. Alex's service was wonderful! Highlights were the lamb (thinly sliced, so tender), the tomato tart, and the garlic confit and smoked trout mousse bread accoutrements.

This was a very special, unique experience. The atmosphere is very intimate. The sections of the restaurant and very small and closed in. My partner and I didn't realize how upsclae this place was. You'll feel more comfortable if you dress really well.. We ordered the carrot bisque and roasted beet salad for starters. The bisque was spicy, but delicious! Beet salad was good. Bread and butter with roasted garlic were fabulous! As the main, my partner and I both shared the special scallop dish and Regal Crest Farms Chicken Breast. The food was cooked to perfection. The vegetables were fantastic. I would highly recommend both dishes.

Great food, service, and ambiance! We sat outside and enjoyed the romain salad, steak tartar, chicken, steak filet, and pasta dishes. They all were excellent. The strawberry rhubarb pie was perfectly sweet and sour combinationand delicious way to finish the meal. Ask for Joe for the waiter. He was so polite and responsive.

We love the bar upstairs (the treehouse). Local vibe, good service and yummy food. Loved the smoked trout deviled eggs. Elevated and unique menu items.

This would have been a 5 star experience but it went down down down at the end. Our server was super chill and sweet. She was very attentive for the first hour and 1/2. After that, we were virtually ignored by her as she scrambled to take care of larger and more lucrative parties. The manager stepped up but why couldn't she bring us our bill? We sat there for a 1/2 hour waiting for it. In my book, there is no "Taos Time" at expensive restaurants. There is a standard of service that should be upheld with no excuses. The mushroom bisque was awesome, the steak was good, the flavors all good but I expect to be paid attention to consistently and all the way through just like I was at the beginning. Don't bother dressing up, there were jeans and ski vests here like at most places (which is cool and not cool) Service is important and you can lose reputation on this alone even if the food is good. Desserts were huge! Would I go back? I haven't decided yet (and yes we are purchasing land in the area so I'm not just a tourist or touron).
