"Whether; Smoked Duck Taco, Crayfish Tamale, Zuni Corn and Carrot Chowder, Frog Legs Rio Grande or the Santa Fe Coffee Cup Dessert, the creations of Chef Hughes were not only wonderfully pleasing to the palate but equally enoyable to the eye. A new level of Southwest cuisine presentation, to which I previously had not been privy, was reached."

"Hughes; puts a lot of extra thought into it and adds extra touches to make the dish unique. Hughes combines the freshest ingrediens - lobsters from Maine, scallops, shrimp, mussels and clams from the West Coast"

"A; visit here is like a pilgrimage to a shrine of good taste-and good tastes... 213 is worth remembering-whether to celebrate a special occasion or, more likely, to make it one."

"The; menu was a real blockbuster, a real tour de force for Jim"

"Diners; looking for great food should take heed: Hughes is at the very top of his game right now; we think it's the best game in town."
