Lambert's of Taos

Staff members were attentive and warm.
Food was well prepared, and unlike most other restaurants in Taos, not oversalted.
The only issue is the source material, such as the filet and the bison for example, they were flavorless.
Not the cook’s doing, but the purveyors of the meat.

Beautiful way to enjoy dinner in Taos upstairs at the bar at Lambert's on Bent Street. Got the Roasted Squash with Chicken Breast with Southern style Black Eyed Peas. Fantastic flavors and high quality ingredients. Reliable, delicious and good service.

We arrived without reservations on a Monday and were seated in the bar area where we received excellent attention and service from our server, Danielle. Deb had a filet mignon done to her specifications which led to her satisfaction. I had a tartare small plate and a small plate truffle fries that we shared though it was so large it was almost hard to finish. Almost.

Dinner was followed by a desert called Bowl of Bliss. Warm gingerbread over caramelized apple slices, topped with vanilla ice cream drizzled with toffee syrup. Aptly named.

We’ve eaten at Lambert’s over the years and have always found it a great experience. Highly recommend it.

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).

Wonderful restaurant! I had the potato leek soup and lobster pasta (cold dish). They have unique dishes here with interesting flavors. Definitely worth a try but pricey.
