Love love loved it

Love love loved it: It was a Wednesday. My wife and I went for lunch with our friend Radhika. We sat in the bistro section in the back with the kitchen. It was utterly pleasant. My wife, Radha, loved her salmon BLT and actually raved about it. Radhika really liked her Shrimp Po Boy. We all tested out the shrimp cakes appetizer, yum, and the avocado pie, yum yum. The service was super and friendly. The 'front' side of Graham's Grille was filled with people. I went up front to see a couple of friends and just about everyone was smiling and in a good mood. It was like a meeting of the 'beautiful people of Taos'. Graham's Grille is fast becoming one of the "Must Visit" restaurants of Taos and is surpassing many older leaders, because Graham's is frankly, Better. Hot Chefs, Intelligent Servers. Urbane Atmosphere. Peter & Leslie Fay are doing a super job with their new restaurant.
