Nice wine bar in the center of Santa Fe! We tried a couple of Brut Rosé (bubbly) and it was perfect for an hot summer day! The cheese/charcuterie was great as a little snack coming with it. The bartender was really nice and efficient and the ambiance was relaxing! We will come back!!
Our service was so slow we almost left. We were at our table for more than 15 minutes before we were approached by any wait staff. After placing our order for water, wine, and an appetizer, it was almost 20 additional minutes before anything was brought to our table. Not even water, which we had to request again once our server arrived. Our appetizer was brought to our table with no plates (only the slate slab on which the appetizer was presented). The service was unacceptable, and we did not order an entree for fear how long that might take. Our server seemed to have far too many customers to cover, but that’s something for management to address.
The food was excellent. All we had was the bruschetta appetizer, and it was very interesting and delicious.
The wine was extremely impressive. The limited cabernet was truly exciting, some of the best wine I’ve ever tasted.
The atmosphere is lovely and special - a 2-story atrium illuminated with natural light from a wrought-iron-framed glass ceiling.
Based on the other reviews, I think we had an outlier experience with the slow service. Because of the excellent food and outstanding wine, I do plan to return. But I’m going to wait until I see a few newer reviews reporting good service.

Herve is excellent and our waitress, Shannon, was amazing! She really took great care of us! It’s a favorite of ours and we always come back when we visit from Texas. Food and wine are amazing!! Ask for Shannon when you go! She is super knowledgeable about all the wines and entrees as well. Try the Herve Board!!
My boyfriend and I came to Hervé to the first time, to spend the weekend and celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Sarah, was absolutely lovely and helpful with any questions and requests we had. The building itself is gorgeous with a loving history and amazing team working to continue such great work.
I looked for a way to give feedback privately first, but couldn’t find anything so I’m leaving this here because we were surprised at how disappointing the experience was, both the service and the wine, given the other reviews.
We arrived excited to try New Mexico wine, and sat in the courtyard because we had a dog. It seemed like there were at least 5 staff members around the bar inside facing us, but we were somehow forgotten. I had to go inside to order and to pay. It took us 20+ minutes to place an order, and another 20 before the flights we ordered came out. One of the wines in a flight was wrong, the bubbly was flat, the wine was disappointingly one dimensional, and a salad was missing its shrimp. We left early as soon as the food arrived (an hour after we sat down) because our dog hated the patio, but we were grateful for the excuse.
Also, the menu includes a “gluten free” indicator, but none of the actual dishes are labeled gluten free, which is annoying because then what’s the point of the indicator.
