I'm very amenable to suggestions. Particularly knowledgeable ones. I
looked at the Galisteo web page after the recommendation and
immediately cancelled plans for 315 Wine Bar and inked in Galisteo for
one nite.

I've loved Geronimo for years but last visit we did G and Coyote on
consecutive nights and found Geronimo to be a bit stilted and old
school with virtually nothing creative going on. Coyote, on the other
hand, had great wait-staff, a vibe of energy and some really neat now
things happening.

It isn't Mark Miller redux, as the lean seems to be in new wave
deconstructed (I had the deconstructed BLT with pork belly and
heirloom tomatoes for example). There's still a proper NM southwest
flavor about the place but it's different than Miller's signature.

Oh, and we had a very nice Pinot Noir with the BLT as SWMBO was
enjoying a red meat, buffalo or maybe elk, IIRC.
