Description: 315 offers a truly French experience in a city overflowing with Southwestern restaurants. Chef Louis Moskow's classically prepared cuisine is given a contemporary twist as a result of his commitment to using only the freshest ingredients. Although customer favorites remain on the menu year-round (including seared duck breast, French onion soup and country pate), Moskow offers an extensive daily menu of beautifully executed dishes such as steamed grouper with baby bok choy, house-cured salmon and lobster ravioli, as well as soft shell crabs and squash blossom beignets, in season. Desserts including lemon crepes, chocolate pot de creme and profiteroles are alone worth a visit. The wine bar, one of the largest and most well-conceived in the region, includes more than 250 seasonally-driven selections from the finest vineyards in the world. Located on the historic Old Santa Fe Trail, 315 is housed in a beautifully renovated southwestern residence. The outdoor patio is open June-October.

Bistro 315 provides classic bistro dishes, with some NM influence. The wine list is quite extensive. The dishes have fresh ingredients and were well- prepared. The service was good, if a little pushy. The lighting could be slightly improved. More

We stumbled upon 315 by chance, and were pleasantly surprised. Louis, the owner, was very friendly and charming and took excellent care of us (some of my group are "high maintenance New Yorkers"!!) The food was delicious, paired with lovely wines. Service was efficient, although not very friendly. A nice relaxing spot, perfect for catching up with old friends. We... More

This was our best, if most expensive, meal in Santa Fe. The food was uniformly excellent and the service was attentive, well informed and fun. There is an extensive wine list which we sampled quite frequently, contributing to the cost. The food is creative and cooked to perfection with home produced ingredients such as pork rillettes. For a European courses... More

Although they keep trying, the space itself is crowded and the staff is not the most friendly. I've never had a bad meal, but in a town filled with above-average restaurants, why settle? More

Louis Moscow, owner and chef keeps improving this superb bistro over the years. We had six guests and found the perfect wait person, unusual for Santa Fe. A good vegetarian option was available. Salmon dish was excellent and the Steak Frites just right. Nice patio in the Summer. Parking across the Street at night. More

This was our first dining experience in Santa Fe. We looked at the menu offered at our hotel and decided to go since it was so close. The restaurant can be causal or a little more formal, depending on how you dress for it. We were seated by an open door, which was wonderful, since we could look out into... More
