Scott created a true dining pleasure. All aspects are top notch...ambiance, décor, service, and of course the food. Keeping the restaurant very small allows him to focus entirely on making sure the diners have the best experience. Note...this is not a restaurant to wolf down your food and run. It is meant for you to relax and savor, celebrating life... More

We chose the Byzantium based on TA reviews and the recommendation of our B&B hosts. We were a disappointed with the mixed greens goat cheese salad - it seemed to be missing something. And the atmosphere was not as romantic as other reviewers had mentioned. The steak with shrimp entree and chicken entree were very tasty and the service was... More

This is a must try. Overall the experience was great. The owner/host/chef has been here for over 20 years! He literally has seven tables and only wants to be able to serve that many. He wants one turn it seems, as he appreciates it when you sit and spend an hour and half or two in his restaurant. The food... More

We ate here two nights running on our trip to Taos, which tells you something to begin with. On both nights the food was excellent and very nicely presented and the proprietor was very pleased to see us come back for the second evening. The restaurant is small with just seven tables and is run by the proprietor and his... More

There are only about 8 tables in a jewel like room with flickering chandeliers and eclectic tables and chairs. We had a warm pear salad with a bacon vinaigrette and freshly baked bread like I've never experienced before. So delicious. The sautéed chicken over garlic mashed potatoes was excellent as was my husband's steak and shrimp dinner. Service was attentive,... More

We stumbled across this restaurant last week while in Taos for spring break. The evening was fantastic with delicious bread, wine, warm goat cheese salad and mussels. Our teenage sons also loved the place. The owner was hands on and so attentive to our needs. Overall is was fantastic!

Intimate 7 table restaurant with small menu. (Menu is changed since the one on Urbanspoon). Had the Halibut with lemongrass sauce. It was wonderful. Perfect for special meal.

The lighting of Ladoux street is one of those "Taos" experiences not to be missed. It happens every year just after Thanksgiving and before Christmas. It is a time where song and cheer are in abundance. Byzantium restaurant is right at the beginning of that wonderful street. The inside of this restaurant is a piece of art by itself. The... More

Food was wonderful. Kitchen shows creativity. Small restaurant with very intimate ambiance. Good wine selection for such a small restaurant.
