Gatsbys Bistro brings a refined European flair to the heart of Las Cruces. Nestled near the vibrant downtown district and close to the historic Mesilla Valley, we offer a dining experience that feels worlds away. You will savor unique dishes like our tender Confit Duck or the decadent Citrus Cream Lobster Tail and Scallops. Our menu blends bold fusion flavors with comforting classics like savory Pot Roast and Yorkshire Pudding. Each plate highlights quality ingredients, while our intricate tapestries create a truly cozy atmosphere for your next dinner.

I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional cuisine and service at this newer addition to the Las Cruces dining scene. The menu offers a diverse selection of entrées, making it difficult to choose. The citrus cream lobster tail and scallops fettuccine was well-portioned, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The cheesecake with chocolate and strawberry sauce was the perfect finish to the meal. The staff and server were attentive, knowledgeable, and professional.

Celebrated our anniversary last night. Scallop & pork belly appetizers were perfection. Followed by perfectly cooked cod, asparagus, onion rings & a huge bowl of REAL New England clam chowder and amazing bacon cheese ravioli. Dessert was waffle bread pudding topped with ice Cream and caramel. A hidden gem for those with a discerning palate! Spectacular food, service & European ambiance!

We've had breakfast here dozens of times, and finally we're able to try the dinner tonight. It was excellent! We love duck and that was done perfectly with a side of red cabbage. The shrimp and grits were also delicious, and fairly spicy in accord with New Mexican tastes. We couldn't have been more pleased!

Outstanding dinner experience. The scallops were perfectly seared, tender, and bursting with flavor, while the steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, well-seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. The wedge salad was crisp, fresh, and a perfect complement to the meal, with just the right balance of flavors and textures. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

We just came from gatsby's and what an absolutely delightful dinig experience! I wish I could give it 10 stars. I moved here from Washington state and complain about cruces being a fine dining dessert. Not anymore. First of all, the bartender knew how to correctly serve grand marnier!! I'm vegan and they have a spectacular vegan menu. Son, granddaughter and grandson-in-law had plank salmon, pot roast with Yorkshire pudding and rack of lamb. I also had them get the confit duck to share.
