Lambert's of Taos in Taos - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Treehouse Bar is the place to be. Dined here a couple of times. Petit steak & fries & Stone fruit salad were excellent and well seasoned. Then I got the Papadelle pasta, a bit pricy in the 40s but incredibly delicious with the crunchy bits. Amazing food and good service and friendly patrons, mostly locals.

Had a great meal. Everything we ordered was excellent. Drinks were excellent. Service was great. Better than most fine dining establishments in big cities. Compliments to the chef and everyone at the restaurant.

Cozy and enjoyable experience. We had cocktails upstairs at the treehouse while we waited for our table. I enjoyed the Bison NY strip. It was cooked to my liking and perfect size. Thank you!

Great food and service. Steak fries are great

Great place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere and the food. The service was great and the food even better. 5 stars all around.

Excellent food, different to others.

I'm sorry to post this. The food was mediocre at bedt, and the serving size was extremely small. I had King Salmon that was cooked well. However, it seemed less than 6 oz. and there was very little else. It was very expensive, especially with the serving size.

Cute lil place in downtown Taos. Husband's bison steak was amazing and the crab cake was delectable. My saffron pappardelle was a bit too salty, and l was unable to finish it because of that. The carrot cake and brown butter ice cream were heavenly!!! Service was attentive even though we could tell our waiter was quite busy. We will definitely return!

Best Carrot cake I've had in a long time, not overly sweet and goes great with after-dinner drinks.

The food and drinks were AMAZING!! We went here for our 30th anniversary. I had the Bison Tender Loin which was flavored and cooked to perfection and the carrot puree and broccolini were perfect compliments. The wife had King Salmon and it too was seasoned and cooked to perfection. We started with the Jumbo lump crab cake and was leery about the pimento cheese but after trying it it too as excellent! Wish I knew the Maitre D’s name but he was very accommodating and helpful. P.S. Make reservations for the dining room even on a Monday!!! The ambiance was phenomenal dining with the apple trees made for a perfect anniversary dinner. If ever in Taos this is a must on your bucket list and I know we will be back.

The service was first class, as one would expect at these prices. However, I wish our waiter would have just been himself rather than that disingenuous syrupy sweet presentation style. I knew that no matter what entree I chose, it would be met with "EXCELLENT CHOICE!!". The Caesar salad was plentiful and delicious, with an excellent house made dressing. I don't recommend the Saffron Papardelle. It's a small portion with uninspiring, too salty sauce. The king salmon, however, was perfectly cooked (medium) and very tasty.

fine dining in Taos! ....and a nice selection of matching wines. Best thing is you can dress casual and be treated like Royalty. We had a lovely 10th anniversary dinner!

I don’t usually order chicken, but the ingredients for the dish sounded interesting. It came with quinoa, corn, asparagus, raisins, tomato, and a pear morstarda. It was tender and delicious. I could have eaten the toppings by themselves. My husband had the saffron pappardelle with crab and prawns and house made pasta which was equally good. They made us some outstanding gin and tonics also.

Food was excellent! Great atmosphere. Service was exemplary, thanks to Joe. Compliments to the chefs! Wonderful experience if you're ever in Taos!

I came here randomly because Aji confirmed my reservation when they were closed on the 4th. Excellent restaurant! While the lamb was very good, the chilled cantaloupe soup stole the show. Incredible! Top-notch service to boot.

Good but extremely small amount! The service and wine was excellent. The food was good, in this case risotto but it was an extremely small portion. The price was too high for the amount we received.

Stopped in for a night cap and dessert, to pleasantly stumble upon the Tree House Bar upstairs. The drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere and service were matching. Will definitely be prioritizing this place and testing out their dinner menu on our next visit to Taos.

Unique dining experience. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The menu was so diverse. We enjoyed the bison relleno and presentation of all our food. Drinks were fantastic as well.

Meaningful vegan options - they have a separate vegetarian menu with a few marked items that can be vegan, and it’s way more substantive than “house salad without cheese.” We enjoyed all of the apps (Mediterranean plate, shishito peppers, beet salad) and entrees (vegan mushroom vegetable risotto), cocktails and wine. Our server was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Terrific service In the upstairs bar area. Risotto good but french fries over-cooked and burnt, soft, too much salt and smothered in thick gravy; the rare steak was good, the medium steak dull and lacking in flavour. I would have sent mine back but the waiter was so delightful I hadn't the heart.

After many years of visiting and living in Santa Fe, we finally went to Lambert's on our day trip to Taos. It was perfect. We were still talking about it today. The calamari was tender and perfectly fried with a delicious citrus aioli. The beet salad was fresh and delicious. Unlike the Lambert's off I-55 in Missouri (not related), there are no "throwed rolls" here, only their own house made fresh bread, served with a salted, whipped butter. For entrees, we had the 4 oz petite filet and the halibut with leek puree and spinach. Both entrees were done to perfection. Service was attentive and helpful. Joe was an excellent waiter. Unfortunately, we were too full to try desert on this trip, but we will try to save room next time.

Immediately seated upon arrival. Hostess very gracious and welcoming. Waiter, David, was at our table within 30 seconds. Bar drinks were served as the menu says they should be. One small note - high end restaurants should have black or white napkins based on what color palette guests are wearing. Bison Relleno was deemed tasty, but too much red chili overpowered the bison. Beef tartare was exquisitely seasoned and beef deemed very fresh. House chips added nothing to the dish. A green garnish of some kind would have been a better choice. Small filet mignon was juicy, tender and flavorful. Asked for medium rare and that’s what we got. Fingerling potatoes were a little overdone but delicious nonetheless. Asparagus was served Al Dente as it should be. Lamb loin and carrots were also big hit. Server, David, was attentive but not obtrusive. Sequencing of different courses was spot-on! Desserts - carrot cake and raspberry torte provided nice finish to evening.

They have a nice outdoor area to sit in which is what we went for. We started with the shishito peppers and bison relleno. Both were so delicious! We are gluten free, and they offer gluten free bread crisps they call “bird seed” in place of their homemade bread. They are delicious salty crisps you can top with butter. I really appreciate all the gluten free options. They offer many organic/natural wine varieties (labeled in green on the menu). The rib chop was cooked perfectly and delicious, and the employees were all kind and attentive.

We were at your fine establishment for our anniversary on May 13th. The food and service were exquisite. Our filet mignon just melted in our mouths and the shrimp were truly giant. Forgive me for having a senior moment and not remembering the name of the young women serving us but please give her our thanks for a wonderful experience. P.S. If the sweet couple we met upon entering and paid for our desert happen to read this, thank you very much for your kindness. Sincerely, Charles and Maria Yurko

Excellent restaurant!! Great food, service, and ambiance!

We had their Chile w Bison and it was Excellent! The steak was fantastic too, and a very nice great dressing caesar salad! Very nice ambiance and excellent service! Thank You!!

First time in Taos and we dined at Lamberts upon friends recommendation. The wonderful atmosphere, great food as well as our fav DuMol pinot was outstanding and the overall dining experience very memorable. The courses weren't rushed and the acoustics were so good, we could actually converse w/o competing with loud conversations and the music. Wait staff discrete, attentive and friendly...would definitely return!

Great cocktails, great cuisine! A wonderful time!

Great food great service cozy dinning food is amazing

Highly recommend, they were incredibly nice and the food was amazing. Shoutout to Joe! Expensive, but actually worth it! Drinks were great too, including great mocktails! Vegan options are limited on the menu, but they made some recommendations and it turned out great.

We loved our experience at Lambert’s of Taos! The food and service were superb. Very quaint and pleasant. Their romain salad is probably the best I’ve ever had and the filet was perfection. Highly recommend this place

Wish I could give more stars. They got us in on a Saturday night without a reservation and gave us an amazing table. Our server was wonderful and our food was beyond delicious. Their fillet and butter poached lobster tails are out of this world. The entire experience was so perfect that we made a reservation for the next night and ate there again only to have an even better experience because we tried more menu items. Romaine salad was like a much tastier Caesar and the seafood spaghetti is also a huge yes. This place is a MUST visit when in Taos, so call in advance to ensure you get a table!

First time there. Our waiter Joe was wonderful. The food was tasty and the atmosphere was very nice. We highly recommend you check it out.

Exceptional food and even better service. Have come back 2 years in a row just to see Brian

Excellent food the duck was amazing with great flavors

Fantastic service and the food was delicious. The flavor combos were perfect. We had brie to start, which had these lovely currants as a side with the brie! Dinner I made the choice to have duck breast. The lentil mash under the duck was so good with a kick of spice. The cabbage slaw was also spot on, with dark cherry. I want that again!

Excellent food, seafood pasta is a must, duck is good as well. Excellent service, a memorable dinner in Taos! Also, the treehouse bar for an after dinner drink is excellent.

This place warmed our our hearts! Great bar, warm cozy ambiance and fantastic food. Do not miss, but go early and get a reservation. Taos is an early town haha. Lovely steaks, etc.

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.

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.

Fantastic dinner experience and great service.

As always, food and service were excellent. Lydia was an amazing server who recommended all the best!

Short and sweet - if you’re looking for a proper fine dining experience with an inventive menu, look no further. My food was cooked to perfection and the service was beyond excellent (when I stopped back in the next day to get a quick take out appetizer, 3 separate servers remembered and greeted me!) I would seriously come back to Taos just to experience this restaurant again.

We went to Lamberts for a special dinner while visiting Taos on vacation, and we’re not disappointed! The atmosphere was warm and romantic. Our server was friendly. But it was the food that made everything special. I don’t know when we will return to Taos, but if we do, you can bet we will go back to Lamberts!

The $40 foie gras was tasteless. The wine by the glass selection was limited. We received our main course but we had no silverware. We had the lamb shank but there were no utensils to scoop out the bone marrow. Our server was great.

Just when I thought I'd kill myself if I had to eat another enchilada or burrito, we found Lamberts. Excellent atmosphere, service and food. We went there two nights in a row. Totally satisfied.

Food was great, service was excellent.

An amazing evening spent with 5 friends from high school. There was not a weak link - service, food, and wine. I had the filet cooked to perfection! Highly Recommend

Our experience at Lambert’s was outstanding. We enjoy great food and love to cook and everything was outstanding! You don’t want to miss this establishment. We had the bison shortrib rellanos, the stone fruit burrata, petite tenderloin, and wild boar tenderloin. The bread pudding for dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. Oh!! The fresh bread was delicious too. And David was an excellent server. Also the atmosphere is perfect. It was our first time in Taos; a perfect memory.

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.

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.

We were here over Memorial Day weekend. This was a wonderful dinning experience. Outstanding service, outstanding food in a quaint and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend.

A certified Taos gem. Wonderful location and ambiance. Staff is professional and well suited for a fine dining restaurant in an off the beaten path destination. The menu has great choices, and the food is delicious. I had steak and lobster and a peach cobbler.

We are local and have patronized this restaurant for decades. We went recently - unfortunately with a friend who had never been - and had a very bad experience. Food was great — (should be, because everything is $$$$), but service was awful. We reported to the manager, who supposedly forwarded our complaint to owner Nat Troy Jr., but no response nor acknowledgement. Can’t recommend Lambert’s anymore — better places to consider in Taos are The Love Apple & Martyr’s. After supporting Lambert’s for 30+ years we don’t think we’ll ever go back.

We were in Taos for one night and chose this restaurant based on other Trip Advisor reviews. We could not have been more pleased. The staff was professional, knowledgeable and very personable. We were on the patio and the weather was fantastic, so I highly recommend reserving a table on the patio if not in the winter months. The food was fantastic! I had the Wild Boar and my wife had the Seafood Spaghetti. Both were excellent! Overall a very pleasant evening and we will go back if ever in Taos, NM!

My husband & I had come here the previous year to celebrate our 44 Anniversary. We had a great experience. The service was good, the food was great but most of all they recognized how special this event was to us. We decided to come back to celebrate our 45th ANNIVERSARY. The food was good, the service was good but nothing was done to make us feel that the event was special. If you have a special event to recognize, this is not the place to go. We will look for a different place to go to next year for our anniversary celebration.

The chef has created unique flavors. Always delicious.

Lovely restaurant with an upscale, creative dining menu. The menu is seasonal and based on sourcing locally. I am a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate me since the main entrees on the August menu were meat and seafood. They made a homemade spaghetti pomodoro and the pasta was perfect. The sauce had a crunch to it and was well seasoned. I loved it. The Beet salad is excellent with berries. My dad had the filet mignon and he said it was tender. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. We sat indoors and the room was a bit too dark. Needed to use our phone flashlights to read the menu. Definitely pricey but worth it.

Most unique food experience I’ve had in a long time. Adorable and sweet location.

Absolutely fantastic foodie experience. Loved each course, would be more than happy to go back the next time I'm in Taos.

Great food and great service on the beautiful patio. Great wine selection. Steaks cooked just right.

Absolutely loved dinner on the patio. Romantic ambience, exceptional menu, highly attentive but not intrusive waitstaff, and a starter, dinner, and dessert that was perfection. I thought the lamb was outstanding, as was the homemade blueberry ice cream. Extremely enjoyable experience.

Coming to Lambert's for over 20 years I was very disappointed to have my first negative experience. It took an hour and 15 min to receive our food which was not up to the standards of a restaurant of this caliber considering the price we paid. When this was mentioned to general manager, the only thing they would do was cook us another meal, but at that time we had waited so long that was not an option for us. Tables around us and already received their dinner and dessert by the time we received ours. They offered no apology and no accountability.. The way they came to the table to address our concerns in the middle of the dining-room made us feel very uncomfortable. Unfortunately I will not be coming back to Lambert's or at the tree house and will not be recommending it to visitors of Taos.

“This can’t be True?” Is what I thought after reading multiple Negative Reviews of Lamberts, where we’ve dined for years? Sadly, Lamberts was horribly disappointing for both food quality & even more disappointing for service.

We wandered in to get a drink; the upstairs bar was lively and crowded. The small restaurant bar downstairs was the perfect place for two weary tourists on a hot summer day in Taos. Thank you Ms Bartender for taking care of us.

Outstanding. Great dishes and atmosphere. update- crazy loud, could not even talk to each other.

Made a reservation request 3 (three) days ahead: Thursday 13, July 2023 Stiml waiting for confirmation OR at least a reply! Seems to be not as good as it was in 2019 Sad but true

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.

My husband and I came here for our post elopement dinner! Our server was great, and all of the staff were very friendly, professional, and thoughtful about us just getting married. The food was amazing! My husband had the elk porterhouse, and I had the filet mignon and lobster. Everything was cooked perfectly! Thank you Lambert's for making an amazing day for us that much better!!

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.

Expensive but two bars that usually have interesting people to talk to, great food and cocktails but you're going to pay for it

Great food and service! Was the perfect meal to celebrate our marriage!

Great menu, wonderful food, friendly service. The chicken sandwich was incredible, perfectly cooked, excently side salad. 5yr update. Lambert's is on point, incredible experience, amazing food, excellent friendly service, amazing wine list.

Seemed to up sale at every turn. Charged extra for dressing on a $12 salad. Food and atmosphere was good but I doubt I’ll be back.

We did t have dinner reservations so we went up top to the ‘treehouse’ and got a drink and split the Trout Deviled Eggs…oh my! They were great!!

This was our first visit. We read many good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. We arrived earlier than our reservation, so we headed upstairs for a delicious cocktail. The bartender was very friendly and quick with his service. The restaurant interior is cozy and romantic. Our server was top-notch! He was very friendly, professional and attentive. The food was simply amazing! We don't mind spending a lot of money on an experience like this.

Are visiting from out of state... what a treat...the.portions are huge...we had Critters on a stick..delish..plenty to share..will be back next time we are in Tyler !!

Service is always top notch here. I recommend you take their wine pairing advice - their list is terrific, very well curated.

Excellent food and better service. A must for fine dining. Great wines as well.

We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Nice atmosphere and quiet. We were in a room which only had 6 tables. Food was excellent as was service.

Lamberts offers a very nice dining experience with excellent food and a good variety. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the espresso and guava cake we ordered for dessert were surprisingly good! Certainly would recommend!

Excellent place to eat in Taos. Great wine selection and service. Filet minion and wild shrimp sensational. Brussel sprouts amazing. Perfect place to get back all the calories I burned on the Mountain

The best thing about this place is the service, which is excellent. The atmosphere is not bad and the food is good, but the quantity of food for the price you pay is way too little.

Excellent dinner and experience in all respects! We have eaten in many fine restaurants across the country and in Europe, and this was right up with the best. Service was superb ("Joe" and others), wine list was excellent, and the food a feast of taste. Even the music (quiet jazz recordings, e.g. Miles Davis) was perfect for the dinner. Kudos!

This was recommended to us by a few locals we asked. The service was excellent and the food was fabulous.

Beautiful garden in which to enjoy a lunch - upstairs is a bar at which they serve small plates and cocktails.

I cannot say enough positive things about this amazing restaurant in the heart of the Taos historic district. Though busy, they found a reservation for the evening, and it only got better. Our server was amazing! She took the time to explain our food options, including finding plenty of options for my wife who needs to eat gluten free because of celiac. We didn't feel pressured to order off the main course menu and found room to enjoy two wonderful desserts. Along with an excellent after dinner drink selection. Highly recommend getting a reservation and having a wonderful evening!

Great local place. Food was delicious and service was very good!

Food was amazing and Brian was great in making our experience top notch. Great bartender and very helpful with suggestions. Atmosphere was nice and the upstairs was cool, next we will definitely sit up there. Highly recommend this stop if you are ever in Taos. Hopefully we will be back some day!!

Excellent location and atmosphere- beautiful adobe interior with soft contours but none of it neglectfully cracked, as some adobe in Taos can be. We had a lovely candle lit dinner and our server was friendly and helpful: she helped us learn more about good hiking nearby, and make a wine selection that was satisfactory. Food was the mediocre part, small portions off a pricey menu, but none of it better for it’s smallness. Our dishes felt experimental and perhaps a bit stale. The menu heavily features fish and lobster which baffles me because of how high and dry Taos is- it’s maybe the least oceanic place I’ve ever been, yet here is a menu of fish. Maybe this is a good place if you’re looking for Maine lobster thousands of miles from Maine, but for local fair I didn’t find it particularly enriching or delicious, 3/5.

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.

Beautiful atmosphere for such a beautiful dinner. Visited Lambert's from Denver and had a great experience. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and the food was impeccable! We will be back whenever in Taos! Thanks for accommodating us at the last minute for dinner!! ❤️❤️

Amazing customer service, excellent food options, and a very subtle yet high-end atmosphere.

We were at the Treehouse bar upstairs. They are very knowledgeable both behind the bar and the wait staff. Had great drinks and food brought up from Lamberts. I especially enjoyed the Brussel sprouts and the duck confit.

Elegant dining experience in an intimate setting- must go when in Taos! My server, Joe, was one of the best I've had in a very long time. Clearly excellent at his craft, he made my night at Lambert's stellar and enjoyable. I'm not sure why Medley won Best of Taos awards this year for best food and service; I think both awards should have gone to Lambert's.

Unbelievable food! We did enjoy eating their heavenly foods. My family loves that place and friendly staff!

Great date night atmosphere, and great food. Our waiter was very attentive, and provided 10/10 service.

Delicious food, this is one of Taos' high end restaurants. Located in the heart of downtown in a historic building, it's a charming setting. The patio is really nice all summer. We like to go there for special occasions. The upstairs bar is fun, and doesn't need reservations, and serves small plates.

Great staff, food and wine Need I say more! Took good care of my food allergies !!!! guided us with great wine. We are going tonight also !!!!

Wonderful atmosphere! Service was stellar, food was exceptionally good. Highly recommended.
