Joseph’s Culinary Pub was the creation of Chef Joseph Wrede, Food & Wine‘s Best New Chef 2000 and winner of several AAA Four Diamond awards as well as being featured on The Food Network’s Triple D.  The restaurant started in Taos in 1995 and moved once more before settling in the present location about 10 years ago.  The place had multiple rooms as well as outdoor seating and a bar counter.  The room we were in had bench seating around the perimeter and free-standing tables in the middle.  Several windows contributed natural light to the electric lights which were well dimmed.  Antique copper pots hung decoratively along one wall and other art was on the walls as was a chalkboard with a drawing of the fish featured in the daily special.  Service was super friendly and the food was innovative and tasty.  Our two main plates had too many ingredients but they all blended into successful flavors.  There are daily specials and changes to the menu with the seasons but some items have been on the menu for 25+ years.  This place is worth a visit.
