Vicky’s of Santa Fe, located in Indian Wells, has been around for close to 35 years. It’s all around establishment is very popular and we know why. The food is delicious in the atmosphere is electric. They have live music every night of the week and great cover dance bands on the weekend. The bar in the middle is always crowded and it’s a great place to go for the night. We started with the Ahi tuna stack and the Octopus Salad .

Be careful to not eat so much of their incredible bread as I will fill you up but it was off the charts. For the main course we had a Chilean Sea Bass which was cooked perfectly and the unique San Dabs, which you rarely see in restaurants anymore. For sides we had the cream spinach and double baked stuffed potato. The whole meal was indulging and outstanding. We met with one of the managers Mark who gave us a rundown and was super hospitable. Try one of their signature cocktails or a glass of wine to enhance your meal and you’ll leave fully satisfied.

For dessert do not miss the moist and super delicious carrot cake as it was one of the best we’ve ever had. Overall the dining experience was phenomenal and then we went to go listen to some music in the main room with the John Stanley King band.
