ed Sage, Hilton Santa Fe Buffalo Thunder’s fine dining restaurant, entices with its warm and inviting style. The lively bar features a wall-length fireplace with dancing flames, moving art and traditional sculptures. In other words, it is the Santa Fe destination for your next romantic night out, business dinner or group event.

Fare rotates seasonally so you experience the best of what New Mexico has to offer year round.

The natural light through sky-high windows warms the restaurant. Soft evenings on Red Sage’s patio mean good conversation as friends gather around fire pits. Dramatic flames from stone pillars edging the turquoise pool, spill light onto the patio. Views of the Sangre de Cristos — lit by the sunset — are magical, and an innovative seasonally rotating cocktail menu mirrors the changing seasons of New Mexico.

Chef de Cuisine Edgar Morales’ exciting new menu offers visually appealing small plates with striking flavor combinations. He brings to Red Sage over 20 years of experience from casual to fine dining. Morales comes from the fast moving city of Las Vegas, NV, and has cooked for Rio, Bally’s Casino, Paris Las Vegas, Aria and Palazzo. Morales showcases his Vegas expertise with seafood and steak house classics by adding New Mexican influences. His passion for cooking shows in every dish. Creating a variety of tastes and unique flavors are his specialty.

In addition to the delicious menu, Red Sage has a diverse wine selection of domestic and European varieties. This extensive collection earned the restaurant Wine Spectator’s 2015 Award of Excellence. The award is no surprise to certified level II sommelier and Red Sage manager Laurie Catazone. “Our wines cover a variety of regions and flavor profiles,” she says. “There are many ways to pair wine and food. A richly marbled steak complemented with a structured wine full of tannins is a work of art.”

Red Sage will present a five-course dinner featuring PlumpJack and CADE wineries for this year’s Wine & Chile Fiesta. For more on these scrumptious offerings, stop by and taste for yourself!
