Antiquity Restaurant

Me and my wife finally secured a reservation at Antiquity. Arriving early we were promptly seated at a table for two. It was in a nice corner that felt secluded and romantic. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and the service was impeccable.We weren't feeling any of the appetizers so skipped those but went with the Chateaubriand for Two. A lot of the specials sounded very enticing, but we were in the mood for beef. The Chateaubriand comes with soup or salad. My wife got the French onion soup and I got the salad. It was nice with a light vinaigrette and the cheese on the side was amazing.For the Chateaubriand it was cooked over an open fire and was perfectly a medium rare. The mashed potatoes were perfectly prepared and the mushroom and gravy made the dish perfect. We tried the dessert as well, and it was so good I forgot to take a picture. They had a special tiramisu cheesecake that was good. Pretty much tasted more of a coffee cheesecake. I liked it. We also got a desert sampler with Crème Brûlée, a chocolate mousse, and key lime pie. My wife loved the key lime pie, I liked the mousse and the crème brûlée was okay.Between the amazing service and excellent food, we would come back again and plan to soon. I feel like this might be a regular stop for us in the future.

Food and service has always been good but PLEASE update your reservation method...Food and service 4 starsReservation method is a minus 1

We had such a great experience on our last visit that we wanted to come back again for another special occasion. Everything from my earlier review still stands. We had the same waiter as last time (James) who was still fantastic. I had the Henry IV (this was the steak with artichoke that I'm obsessed with). They also had red chile posole as the soup of the day and it was absolute perfection on a chilly fall evening. Hubby had a filet medallion schnitzel which was very tasty and different. The oysters were on point. My one (major) recommendation is to have the host and reservation service match the service you receive at the restaurant. The call in reservations are not just a pain but the host (I think there's only the one) is not terribly welcoming either on the phone or when you arrive. Both our visits in the last several months those two things have been the biggest draw back. I still love this place though and I'm really happy that we rediscovered it.

I have heard many good things about iniquity and I was super excited to finally get to go. It was amazing such a beautiful small space to be in my server was knowledgeable and friendly. My steak was 10 out of 10. The oysters were fabulous. Everything was beyond expectation very happy I was able to go cannot wait to go again.

Been calling them for a week, no answer or I just rings once and say there is no voice mails set up

Went here while on a work trip. Had half dozen oysters on a half shell. The petit filet bacon wrapped and a beautiful Zinfandel from Sonoma County. The food was amazing, the service was well above the expectations and the ambience was cozy, warm and intimate. Highly recommend this place for a nice dinner out or a date night. A must when in Albuquerque.

The service, ambiance and food were top notch. Worth every penny we spent. I highly recommend

We had dinner here our first night in Albuquerque. The building and its history are worth a visit on their own. Service was wonderful, and the food did not disappoint. I loved that our table felt very private. We started with an oyster dish and salads. I had the spiced shrimp, and he had lobster. We had the dessert trio, which was perfectly sized. Everything was delicious!!

I heard from multiple sources that Antiquity Restaurant is unquestionabley on the short list of candidates for best restaurant in Albuquerque. Armed with these trusted recommendations, I made a dinner reservation a month in advance, and then we dined here. Antiquity did NOT disappoint!Located in the touristy portion of Old Town, when we arrived and saw the exterior for the 1st time I didn't have high hopes for the interior, but it turned out to be all good; the inside is dark, cozy, and almost dripping with Old World charm. We were seated at a small, semi-private wooden booth, and we could smell and hear them cooking steaks on the charcoal grill inside their brick and stone oven; you can actually see the oven when you walk in the door.We started off with a soup, made with chicken, cream, and green chilis; it was delicious, and the salad they served with it was even better :-) We both ordered ribeye steaks as our entree. The steaks were perfectly seasoned, wonderfully marbled, and beautifully presented, with fresh vegetables and broccoli and cheddar mashed potatoes. Service was informative, attentive, and friendly - the owner even stopped by toward the end of the meal to make sure we were receiving good care (a very nice touch!). All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant, and look forward to returning!

Food, service and ambiance were top notch! You can tell these people really care about a wonderful experience for each guest. We never order oysters when we're not near the ocean - but we had to try these, and we're so glad we did. Months later, I still think of them, and this restaurant!
