Eat at Joseph's and #SFRFoodies

By SFR

Steak au poivre with grass-fed beef tenderloin, Madeira wine, wild chanterelles, Italian porcini and local oyster mushroom sauce on potato mash. 428 Agua Fría St., 982-1272 Dinner Tuesday-Sunday Joseph’s of Santa Fe I  once read that eating like a bird is a misnomer, as birds eat a lot compared to their size. Whatever the case might be, and perhaps aided by the aviary motif at Joseph’s, eating 250 pounds of food here sounds like an absolute dream. Fine dining gets a hint of cool at Joseph Wrede’s culinary pub, where choice wine and beers flow like manna and fancy meets fun in the form of apps like grilled New Mexico lamb lollipop ($14) served with a smear of red chile apple sage jam, local bone marrow served with molasses-glazed mushrooms ($14) and the sea bass ceviche ($18) accompanied by plantain fritos. The half-duck confit ($32) is solid, but the true leader of this flock is the steak au poivre ($42), natural Colorado grass-fed tenderloin in a Madeira reduction with an oyster mushroom sauce served atop a fluffy bed of smashed potatoes. It’s OK to lick the page, we won’t tell. -EL (Joy Godfrey)
