“Fine” dining? That would at least imply better than the mediocre, expensive, terribly drawn-out process of getting dinner here. My party of 4 was seated at a very uncomfortable high-top table at 7:30 and we didn’t make it out of there til 9:10. The server only stopped by our table every 15 minutes or so and had to be told we wanted to order food or refills on empty water glasses. The hot chocolate tasted like it was just a packet with water added – the Bavarian has a much better recipe. The service here was exceedingly slow and inadequate. There were only 4 other parties there but when our food came out, it was one dish at a time as if the kitchen had no clue our 4 dishes went together… so the food was cold! The pasta was not very exciting either. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant was the hot caprese dip, which was delicious… but OF COURSE only came with about 1/3 the amount of bread you’d need to eat it as a dip! When I asked for more bread to finish the dip, the waitress acted like it was a big deal that they would charge more for bread. I was like seriously… we’ve been out of bread and this dip has been getting cold for 15 minutes and you haven’t even walked by once. Anywho, highly do not recommend this place. Go to Taos Ale House instead! Eat their wonderful pizza. Blonde Bear is definitely a no-go.

We went for breakfast and ended up coming back twice during our trip. Food was great and the location is so nice! The only thing that could be better is the coffee.

I asked for tea to drink. Hot and cold were listed on the menu. The waiter said, “That’s not an option tonight. They forgot to send us some.” Not off to a great start. The waiter brought our food, very large portions, and said they ran out of the big bowls to serve them in. So our large pasta dishes and chicken were crammed into a dog bowl. The small bowls were overflowing and it was difficult to eat without making a mess. But the table next to us was served with big bowls just five minutes later. Additionally the chicken was dry and overcooked, the pesto sauce was just some olive oil w specks of Cale. Wasn’t worth the money.

Best dining hands down in Taos Ski Valley. Service has been consistently good during my several visits this season. This is in a ski resort town where dining options are limited and service challenges abound at other establishments. Not great for large groups (> 8), given their small dining room. I strongly recommend reservations as demand is high and they have a limited sized dining room.

The breakfast is fantastic! The French toast and pancakes were absolutely delicious. Best breakfast we’ve had on vacation.

The best dinner in Taos, right now. We had the kale and fennel salad, steak, and chicken saltimbocca. The steak was a little salty, but that was our only complaint. Service is friendly and attentive, good drinks, and a nice atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

We had the very best time at this wonderful restaurant!! Our waiter was a joy, very knowledgeable with spot on recommendations. He shared a few stories which made our time there so enjoyable. The food… was simple perfection, the best meal we had all week! I wish it had been open all week, we would have gone there every night. Highly recommended! I’ll be dreaming of the Blonde Bear Tavern forever. ❤❤

I love this restaurant! We have gone here over the last four years and went at the start of the ski season for a birthday dinner with our whole family and had an incredible meal! The staff especially John, Kerri and Sid took incredible care of us and I think it is the best restaurant in Taos ski Valley. We went back 10 days later since we had such a great experience and tried different things on the menu which were all excellent. The bone in ribeye is one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I’m very impressed with The menu that the chef has created. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that is staying in Taos Ski valley.

Really good meal from their sandwich menu. I had the best Reuben ever. The burgers looked good and everyone love their chicken pot pie, nothing like the frozen food version. Nice choice of beers on tap. Fabulous cheesecake dessert. The wait staff was super. I’m looking forward to going back the next time I’m in Taos Ski Valley.
