"I was visiting Santa Fe from LA and asked my Airbnb host about restaurant recommendations. He suggested this place for fine dining. So on my last night I decided to check it out. Made a reservation for 445 pm for counter seating. I'd have preferred a table but guess since I was a solo diner it had to be the counter. I was worried about parking but they had free valet parking which was nice. I got there before the valet was open so just parked and waited until he got there to give my keys. He walked me into the restaurant which I thought was very nice. When I walked in I was greeted by the host and she took my coat to store it. Then walked me to the bar. Seats were actually pretty spacious. No one was next to me but had there been there was space not to feel crowded. I ordered the canyon road sunset from the cocktail and it was very good. Then I had the risotto. Some of the best I've had. I wanted to lick my plate but didn't want to appear uncouth so I refrained. I was also brought out an amuse bouche that was mushroom sherry soup and it was tasty as well. For my entree I had the lamb. It was cooked perfectly. I wanted full so didn't order dessert but I was brought out a complimentary scoop or sorbet. Overall I had a great meal and would return. Once I left the valet brought me my car. It was already warm. Even the seat warmers were on. Great service and great food. Not inexpensive but worth it."

Vic's Daily Cafe

"This has an old timer 1960s diner feel. Lots of customers of all ages. The aroma of country / New Mexico cuisine with some nice cakes and pastries. I didn't think I could finish the chicken fried steak but it was so good. There are two green chilies on top beat the red chilies. Hash browns, two eggs over easy, refried beans and a pancake. It just beat the hunger I had for getting a donut later. It's a place to take your eating clothes. Now I need a gym."

"We just discovered this gem. LOVE the Chopped Veggie salad (we add chicken). We keep coming back for that.The staff has never failed to be welcoming and helpful. :)The fish & chips special looks amazing & not greasy -- but I had my tastebuds set on a burger today, so another time!I took off a star because I think, for its location, it's expensive (example...burgers: $12.50 for 6oz to $27 for 15oz)BUT I will say it's ALL TASTY! And worth the occasional splurge. They seem to have a loyal local following, which says a LOT for consistency. ;)"

"Persnikkitty's has moved they are now in a shopping center not far from family Dollar.The facilities are modern and clean.I had the Smash double cheese burger this visit; Muenster and pepper jack cheese seems a combination.You can't miss choosing Tots as your side option. Try dipping them in, honey mustard.I guess I'll give them 4.2 stars on this visit.Enjoy!"

Seared

★★★★☆ 4.4 (394) • $$

"Seared is so cute! It's tucked away between old town and downtown near the country club. The bar area is where I went, not the dining section. The bartender Dominic is super attentive, gives information about the food and drinks in a detailed way, and the owners are so caring about customers having a great experience. When I first went, I got the lamb and it is mouth watering just to think about it right now. The last time I went, I ordered the steak Diane which was also good. Their specials and happy hour deals are a CANNOT MISS. Highly recommend this place for anyone interested in a high quality experience!"

"To Every Thing - turn, turn, turnThere is a season - turn, turn, turnAnd a time to every purpose under heaven...A time to be born, a time to dieA time to plant, a time to reap...We settled in at Seasons for "Happy Hour"..We shared, assisted by our lovely Server Lexi.."Asian Fried Cauliflower Bites" that were crispy in a Sweet and Spicy Soy Sauce. Though nicely tasty and crispy, they were just "one note". "Lemon and Ricotta Ravioli", thoughtfully split for us...Were perfectly al dente w. a very nice delish ricotta filling w. spring peas. We also Enjoyed the burrata scoop on top. One recommendation if asked.. Would be to include Lemon in the pasta as well. Washed down w. Lemon Drop Martini and a glass of Chardonnay by the Lass and an Espresso Martini and a glass of Chardonnay by the Lad. What kept this respite from being relaxing for these Baby Boomers was the "screaming babies" around us, while we were in the Upper Bar area, we had hoped would be reserved for just Adults...fell short..:(To Every Thing - turn, turn, turnThere is a season - turn, turn, turnAnd a time to every purpose under heavenA time to gain, a time to loseA time to rend, a time to sewA time for peace, I swear it's not too late!..:) Best, Avram Byrds Jr."

Del Charro

★★★★☆ 3.6 (525) • $$

"Del Charro is the restaurant connected to Inn of the Govenors, the hotel we stayed at while vacationing in Santa Fe. I wanted to love it, but really I loved the atmosphere, liked the margaritas, and didn't much care for the food.I went to Del Charro for drinks twice, dinner and drinks once, and breakfast three times, as they serve the free breakfast to hotel guests in the dining room each morning.We went to Del Charro for margaritas as soon as we arrived in Santa Fe, as we waited for our hotel room to be ready. My friend ordered the house margarita and I had the prickly pear. Both were good, and not too sweet. The house margarita is large in size, and has a good balance of mixers and tequila. I loved the atmosphere. All of the locals seemed to be drinking there at that time, and we were able to chat with some different people.Breakfasts were made to order for hotel guests, and we were given a choice of about 6 different options. I enjoyed it the day I chose the omelette, but the other days I found it to be greasy.When we had dinner there, I used my Yelp check-in order for free chips, salsa and guac. That caused some trouble as they had no idea what I was talking about. Also, strangely enough, in Santa Fe, restaurants seem to charge for chips and salsa. In the end, we were able to get free chips and salsa, but no guac. I also thought that the chips were broken up and messy on the plate. I'm glad we did not pay for them. My friend and I both ordered the enchiladas, which were served with rice and beans. We ordered the sauce Christmas-style (red and green). What we received were plates of food full of sauce that hid what we were eating. We couldn't really differentiate the enchiladas from the sides. It was sort of messy and the flavors all ran together. I also had one margarita there just as I was waiting for my ride to the airport. Again, the drink was good. They played old school country, which felt very fitting for the atmosphere. It felt relaxed and peaceful in the bar. All in all, I would recommend Del Charro for drinks. The bar is a nice place to sit and chat. I would describe the food as passable."

"Before anyone gets upset - 3 Stars = Okay. My experience here was "okay". We went for Sunday brunch. I called ahead to see what time they opened because google and their website had conflicting hours. Well, the girl I spoke with on the phone told me 10 am. Turns out - they open at 10:30 on Sunday mornings. So I waited 30 minutes (there was a local farmer's market so I hung out there). Upon return, we were seated inside and there were so many flies! I had gone in the summer time and there was several flies inside the restaurant that made the entire dining experience distracting.Then I asked about biscuits and gravy because I saw this option on the online menu - well - the online menu was not updated and their in person menu is different. So conflicting hours online, conflicting menu online, even calling I was given misinformation.Now the food. It honestly was not memorable. I felt like everything I ate, I could make at home. Nothing tasted "out of this world" or "amazing". It was average/okay. So between the misinformation, the flies, and the mediocre food...it was an okay experience. I only tried Sunday Brunch so I can't speak for their dinner."

The Kosmos

★★★★★ 4.6 (232) • $$

"This is definitely my go to spot for a buffalo chicken sandwich with crinkle cut fries.The menu is relatively simple and I recommend sticking with the burgers or the chicken sandwich offerings. They've got cocktails as well.I am so glad to see that their parking lot is finally paved. I know that was a massive adventure for the business. Last time I was there it looked like they were starting to work on a new and improved patio so I can't wait to check that out."

Savoy Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (311) • $$$

"We had another great experience here ! We stopped in early before a show at the Popejoy. We had a round of apps and martinis with another good cocktail for our daughter. Then tuna, steak, and a Caesar w salmon. Half order truffle fries. Coffee and chocolate truffles to finish. $230 , a great value for the quality of food and overall e periwnce Highly recommend our server Nick, he was cheerful and professional, anticipating.our needs and sharing our enthusiasm for being there. This is,hands down, pur fave Abq restaurant, keep up the great work!"

The Gorge Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (339) • $$

"Ambiance of the place was super cool. The service was friendly but pretty slow. Took our waitress a while to check in on us and take out order, but maybe they were just short staffed tonight. Food overall was ok. Ordered chips and they came out cold. Ordered meatloaf and the red sauce was pretty good but again it was lukewarm. I would come back for drinks but will probably skip ordering food next time and sit at the bar for faster service."

Vintage 423

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (403) • $$$

"Recently I was invited to attend dinner with friends at this restaurant. Although I had been to places close by, I had never noticed this place. It's on the NE corner of a "strip mall" area. There is nothing that draws your attention to it - besides its name over the doors. I was in for a surprise. As I stepped in through the front doors I felt like I had stepped through a time & elegance warp. It immediately reminded me of the elegant restaurants my Father used to take us to around the country. And this one was in Albuquerque, NM - he would have loved it! So . . . gold metal for ambiance!Service was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'll give them points for the fact that it was the middle of the afternoon and we were a large group. Only one server was (available?) to take care of us. She did a good job, but could have used a little assistance. We were so busy talking to each other (and were not in a hurry) that it wasn't probably noticed by anyone but me. Bronze here.Food & wine definitely passed with flying colors. They had one of my favorite wines (Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc, so I was happy. All the meals around the table seemed to be more than satisfactory. I heard comments of "We need to come back here again so I can try the '**' next time. Only have room for one lunch." I will happily come back again and try some of the other great sounding menu items. Of course, I will have more Kim Crawford sb next time. No reason to experiment with great wine. And, who knows, I may find a perfect dish too. Definitely Silver."

"I come here every week. Iconik coffee with breakfast is always a perk. Some of the best, most consistent food in town. Don't miss out on the specials! I've never had something here I didn't like. It's great to go somewhere and see the same faces. You can tell people enjoy working here. Their red and green chile snacks. Nice, spacious and clean restaurant. Smoke parking."

"What a great spot! Dog friendly! We went on a weekday and were lucky to find space outside on the patio so we had room for our dog that is in the middle of training.The food was delicious (chicken sando was incredible) and the beers were spot on.Parking was easy. Best of all the crew that took care of us and our pup were fantastic."

The Daily Grind

"Another beautiful fall day in central New Mexico finds the boys from the VA creative writing group at another local favorite. Join Tom Neiman and a few of his besties, enjoying themselves with various food orders. It is worth visiting this fine establishment. Watch the trailing YouTube video link to see what we ate and raved about. An interesting atmosphere and excellent service are complemented by the Daily Grind's ample parking lot. Try them - you won't regret it. https://youtu.be/UGmCmtbuC9Y?si=yp66hpWj-hRVNho7"

Bosque North

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (287) • $$

"We were greeted warmly when we came in and seated quickly.It's an interesting restaurant brewing pub with vibes of a sports bar interesting bar food. There are at least two that I know of.They have a nice patio area and they can accommodate family and other groups outside or inside.Of course they also offer their own beers and have a moderate variety that changes they definitely are proudly New Mexicanin style. It's not about just food and drink It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. The staff did a great job. The other thing is it's very loud inside but fairly quiet outside. There were all kinds of appetizers we shared blistered shishito peppers, nachos and chicken wings Everyone enjoyed them all and surprisingly the kids loved the shishido peppers. A couple people shared a regular burger and a pulled pork sandwich too. It was a good experience but I would sit outside if you can and the weather permits."

Greenside Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (198) • $$

"Stopped in for lunch and wasn't disappointed. Full house at lunch but got seated right away. We had the Fish and Chips and the Korean Chicken sandwich with a side of New England Clam Chowder. Bam they were all great. The chowder and fish and chips are only available on Fridays. If you're in the east mountains give this place a try. You won't regret it."

Chili Hills Restaurant Edgewood

★★★★☆ 3.7 (194) • $

"It was a great small town diner! I had the breakfast enchiladas, with red and green chili sauce, with 2 eggs on top and some hash browns. It fit the spot exactly what I was looking for! And it wasn't too expensive, although they did charge extra for using credit card. Some cops were having breakfast and that's always a good sign. Definitely a good stop if you're looking for home town New Mexican cooking!"

Flying Tortilla Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (174) • $$

"I was so hungry I forgot to take photos! So sorry. But know that all four of us cleaned our plates. Chicken enchilada with green chile, ground beef enchiladas with red chile, carne asada plate and the brisket plate all had just the right amount of heat. The staff were helpful and very attentive. As luck would have it, we came on Thursday night, the night a Mariachi band performed. They were amazing. We had a delicious dinner AND a wonderful show."

"Absolutely fantastic service, incredible food and an amazing experience. We were offered free samples of their green chilie soup, their nacho cheese and their homemade ranch dressing, all of which were top tier and delicious! My wife had the Albuquerque turkey sandwich and I had the grilled chicken sandwich. We both were impressed and plan on returning very soon!"

Dr Field Goods

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (247) • $$

"I like that the place actually is well lit. Not many places like that Lots of things on the menu and they all sounds good. Ordered the green chili tortilla burger. I hope it is good.So the cook does not know what medium means on a burger. They gave to me rare and bloody. While the tortilla burger is amazing they just need know cooking. Service is great and that is what made the difference. I opted for onion rings and was not disappointed. Spaghetti you can not go wrong with it, so tasty and just right amount of sauce. Just beware the menu is on the expensive side"

O'Hare's Grille & Pub

★★★★☆ 3.8 (161) • $$

"My hubby and I were up in Rio Rancho for a soccer game. So we decided to try O'Hares. We had been here once before a year or more ago. We live 40+ miles away so don't get up here often. We came at 4ish on Sunday so there was a light crowd. By the time we were done eating the dining room was much fuller. The restaurant and bathroom were clean. The waitress was friendly but a little slow to get our order. After the slow start she was more attentive We started with the Wee pot of gold fried zucchini. It was very good. The zucchini was done well with a light bread with a hint of spice. I had the sirloin steak and my hubby had the slow roasted pork. Both were very good and lots of flavor. We finished with the apple pie and chocolate mouse. Both were excellent."

Burger 21 - Albuquerque

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (201) • $$

"I used to love coming here all the time before the pandemic happened because of their amazingly swift staff and great burgers. I also can't forget to mention all of their sauce options! We came here for dinner and there were a couple of people ahead of us in line and it didn't take too long for them to get to us. I usually order the Cinco, which is one of the best burgers I've had. This time I got their special, Fried Pickle Burger, and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. I asked for avocado slices, medium-well temp burger, and no cheese and I only got one of those things. The burger was burned and charred and their was no avocado. We shared a basket of half and half fries and they were a little overdone and cold by the time we got them. The sauces are great still and helped save the day, but I don't know if that's enough to come back here again. Lastly, the place was just dirty. The bathrooms could use a deep clean and the trash area was gross and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in days. They were pretty slowed and it looked like they had plenty of workers so it doesn't seem like a staffing issue, which would've been more understandable. All in all, decent burger and fries with amazing seances."

El Nido

★★★★☆ 3.9 (150) • $$$

"Had a family group of 9 at El Nido for dinner on a Wed night in Dec. Outstanding service and food! (Granted it was a slow night.) Cocktails were great. Everyone loved what they ordered: salmon, branzino, limoncello chicken, pork chop & mole, wagyu burger, 2 kinds of pizzas, and filet mignon. Can't say enough about how beautiful and tasty the dishes were. Spacious dining rooms made for fairly quiet dining. I would definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Santa Fe."

Marigold Café

★★★★☆ 4.2 (97) • $$

"Tried this cafe today 6-22-24, absolutely delicious and fabulous. My daughter had the breakfast Indian taco w/carne adovada. I had chicken pesto panini with a salad and Xmas chile fries for an appetizer. All so tasty, fast and friendly service. Very clean. I asked how long they have been in business, they said since November of 2019, I am soooo glad they survived the pandemic!!!!!"

Zebs Restaurant & Bar

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (218) • $$

"Visiting the area and stopped for dinner. The ambiance is cute and decorated with Christmas decorations all around on the inside. Definitely different considering it's mid March but it's a vibe. We started off with cheese sticks and guacamole and chips for our appetizers. The ranch that came with cheese sticks was phenomenal along with the cheese sticks. My husband and I both ordered the BBQ combo plates. The food was delicious but my meat was still cold. When I say cold I mean cold cold. My bread also tasted cold and a little stale. Definitely would have rated a 5 if my food wasn't still cold."

Bear Wallow Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (109) • $$

"I was delighted how good the breakfast was on my wife and I's stop in little Alpine. The staff was friendly and the food was unpretentious and better because of it.Recommend both of our dishes Huevos Rancheros or the combo breakfast with the half-biscuit & gravy."

Copper Canyon Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (105) • $

"Great mom and pop feel. The food was excellent and it appeared that the staff were familiar with their regulars. The hot chocolate and food were flavorful and I will definitely go back if I'm in Albuquerque again. Kudos!!!"

Sopa's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (88) • $

"Crazy busy, but it was Friday night!Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service. All dinners were delivered as ordered and tasty! The queso was good, the chips crispy. New Mexican food at its best. Chile was flavorful but not too hot. Would eat there again!"

Spectators Sports Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (100) • $$

"I've come here on and off for years, mostly to watch college football on Saturdays but also to just hang out with friends. The menu has gotten a bit smaller over time but the food is consistently quite good. I tried the fried pickles this time and they were amazing. The veggie sandwich had a variety of veggies and was a big portion and really fresh. The fries are always amazing. The servers are friendly though things can be a bit slow if there's a big crowd in for games. In general it's a good space with a lot of TVs, pool tables, and nice clean restrooms. Great for groups big or small or just get togethers."

Revel Burger

★★★★☆ 3.8 (61) • $$

"I had no idea revel Burger existed. They opened for days before Covid. It is located in the old Sports Authority just South of cosco on Montano.1 There are several places inside this soon to be hopping food in entertainment venue once we get past this pandemic. I ordered a Burger and onion Rings. 1st let me say The Onion rings are the nice flowered and deep fried to a golden Brown kind. Not those crunchy frozen corn things. The Burger is ample size with lettuce tomato onion pickle and their special sauce. One word, delicious! I encourage everybody to visit revel burgers and give them a chance, especially during this challenging time for small businesses"

Greg's BBQ

"We both do BBQ differently. He has a great product too. Good to both be part of the Belen sit down restaurant biz rather than fast food. Greg is a really great guy you want to meet. Tom. Proprietor Hub City Brew Pub"

SA BBQ Tin Can Alley

★★★★☆ 4 (46) • $$

"First off Tin Can Alley is such a fun spot! So much is offered in such a compact space. We checked out the offerings before coming and the menu at SA was calling us. Beckoning us to come in and fill our cravings of bbq and things spicy and cheesy. The Duke City Nachos offered Fresh Corn Tortilla Chips, Queso, Green Chile, House Crema, Chives, Fresh Jalapeño, Cilantro. We added chicken and the chips were fresh and perfectly crispy crunchy as tortilla chips should be. Just when I thought the green Chile had kicked my tastebuds into fire mode, I bit into one of the many raw jalapeños and hit a new sensation of inferno on my tongue. Don't get me wrong, they were very delicious and the crema was a nice cooling touch. I probably should have asked for more crema to cool the demons dancing in the back of my throat. The Pulled Pork Slider plate with coleslaw was just what I was hoping for. In the world of sliders nothing beats the pulled pork slider and the plate at SA BBQ was great. I love that they were served with Kings Hawaiian rolls. The sweetness from the rolls also killed some of the heat from the nachos. I HIGHLY recommend the Green Chile Mac and Queso! The punch of green chile and the cheesiness of the Mac was very satisfying."
