The Compound Restaurant has anchored Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico, since 1966, housed in the Macomb Compound — an adobe property more than 250 years old.

Owner and chef Mark Kiffin, a James Beard Award winner for Best Chef of the Southwest, leads the kitchen with a seasonally driven contemporary American menu. The Compound holds AAA Four Diamond status, a DiRoNA Gold Award of Excellence, and has received Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for 19 consecutive years. Five private spaces — including intimate dining rooms seating 16 to 24, open-air terraces, and a sculpture garden — host events from small gatherings to full restaurant buyouts for up to 240 guests.
