LOL there was a resturant like that near Plymouth NH; that one was called "The Robins Nest" they were known for their corn fritters with maple syriup. I remember that and its been about 35 or 40 years since I went there. There was another one up in North Hatley Quebec, on Lake Massawippi, in that one the veranda overlooking the lake was built around a large old shade tree. I've never been to NM.

I just got docked a rep point because I commented on the general topic but not on the specific resturant they were looking for. I dont consider it off topic and some how feel that someone with an axe to grind decided to misuse the off topic thing. I am truly sorry the pleasant memories of an old man somehow upset you so much that it deserved to lose a rep point!

How do you know you lost a Rep point?

Why do you care anyway?

El Pinto has a lot of trees on that patio. Did they build the restaurant around one of them?

You may be thinking of La Hacienda in Old Town. From the time I was little, they always had huge Cottonwoods that were in the restaurant and growing up through the roof.

I believe the restaurant is called La Placita in Old Town. Native Sun, I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure the name of the Restaurant is La Placita.

My family ate there last Christmas Eve. The food is superb.

But there are other area restaurants, I believe at least 2 in Corrales, built around a very old tree.
