Soup Star — Restaurant in Santa Fe

I intentionally arrived pre-lunch so I could snap photos of this delightful place before customers started filling the dining area. It was packed when I left. I was greeted enthusiastically as I walked in and felt instantly welcome. The atmosphere was lovely, warm, cozy, clean, & inviting with fresh flowers on each table.
