Restaurant Forty Nine Forty

Amazing! 4940 is a simply amazing! Visited for Sat night reservation... suggest you make reservations as the dining room is quite intimate, I want to say only seating about 10 tables at a time. They have an outdoor patio as well a lounge area where we sat for cocktails while waiting for our table. The place is very well designed and decorated, upscale decor with great color choices. I love the tile used in the bar and the restaurant just feels super classy! The wait staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and diligent in explaining each dish; their words made us want to try more and more!Table for 4, we tried a bit of everything starting with apps and salads, all perfectly seasoned and dressed; super fresh and absolutely lovely! Also decided to try all different mains and every plate was superb! The kitchen was also accommodating of a dairy allergy altho no dairy free option for dessert which was a bummer. Tried two dessert choices and both were delicious... adult after dinner drinks and coffee yummy too!They offer brunch on Sundays with an equally amazing menu so will definitely return soon for that! One tip... every plate is prepared fresh upon order so don't be in a hurry as it does take some time between courses. We actually wanted to take our time and visit so this worked well for us. Great food, great wine, great atmosphere and overall great experience in the quaint village of Corrales!

We decided to try Forty Nine Forty on a Saturday night last minute and were able to be seated very shortly after arriving in the marketplace section. The service was great, with several different people noticing our lamp dying twice and switching it out for us, clearing plates frequently and keeping water filled. All of the food was excellent and we highly enjoyed the meal and cocktails. We had the smoked picanha and the Moroccan spiced Lamb shank. It was all cooked to perfection and were especially impressed with the mole. Forty Nine Forty is a great place for a classy date night.

I searched for a place that I had not been before and this came up as an option through searching here on yelp. All I can say is wow.We originally came here for Sunday brunch with my husband and my mother-in-law. We had wonderful food and a very great waiter. I had the blue corn cake which comes with bacon and two perfectly poached eggs, which was super yummy. We also got the bread basket, which had one biscuit, one cheddar green chile biscuit, and one lemon poppyseed scone. We greatly enjoyed those and split them equally. My mother-in-law had the lemon ricotta pancakes, which were just gorgeous and light and very tasty. She also got a side of the Wagyu beef sausage, which is just insane and wonderful. My husband got the traditional breakfast which came with eggs, beans, potatoes, the Wagyu, beef sausage, and toast. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food.The space that this restaurant is in is really cute as well. The dining area is cozy and eclectic. There's outside seating and you can also sit inside the market which has a whole bunch of neat food items to buy as well as some lovely glass pitchers and baskets and a whole bunch of fun things. We also came for dinner just this past Friday night and enjoyed the summer menu that goes until the end of September. We had a lovely bottle of Malbec and I had the heirloom tomato salad which was two die for with fresh heirloom tomatoes, and butter lettuce from just down the road. My husband had the wedge salad and really enjoyed it. For dinner my husband had the. SMOKED CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF PICANHA, which he enjoyed quite a lot. And I had the RICOTTA MUSHROOM TORTELLINI that was so fresh and wonderful. I wanted to eat it a second time.We also went ahead and ordered two of the daily housemade desserts. One was a chocolate cake that they described as mahogany and was just phenomenal. It had a chocolate butter finish that was so delicious I almost bought a second one to take home (should have). We also had the limoncello tiramisu, which was bright and tangy and super good.Our waiter, Kyle, was kind, talkative and very helpful with menu items and selecting the wine. He also told some funny jokes. He was kind enough to introduce himself at the end of the meal and shake both our hands. We felt important and that it made a difference that we were there.I'm so happy to have such a lovely place to go eat and have a meal that is not only beautifully presented but very very good. I have three more reservations coming up and I can't wait. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Corrales has themselves a new gem There are not a lot of restaurants I will cross the Rio Grande in rush hour traffic for - but I'll sit in 45 min of bumper to bumper traffic for this dining experience any day of the week. A small, limited number of tables makes a very intimate experience. You can see the kitchen and bar from any table. Low light fine dining ambiance with friendly staff. The drinks were lovely. We had the lemon and espresso martinis as well as the Italian margarita special for the night 10/10 no notes The food was delightful. The cauliflower soup was absolute perfection. Sometimes simple really is best. Spotlight shout out to the flan. Everyone makes it so differently I'm always hesitant to order it... I've never been so thrilled. This is exactly how I want flan to taste!We'll obviously be back!

A lovely Brunch. Quality service although it was quite a wait because they are a bit short staffed - so we were told. The food was tasty, but I think the brunch was not as great as dinner we had the night before. Chicken was a bit overdone. This said, my husband's shrimp and grits were awesome, and the pancakes we shared were delicious. Tuna avocado and eggs breakfast was good, too.Overall, I would come back for brunch if in the area. Ambiance is lovely, and outdoor seating must be fantastic when it's warm.As for dinner - I would give the restaurant 4+ stars. Great service. Awesome food though they were out of sea bass and a couple of other items. We did have a reservation at 8 pm - to be fair. All the dishes were great, but the bone marrow caught me by surprise. Fantastic! The bread pudding served with pork belly was epic, too. Picanha beef with a special rub was outstanding (sadly, not pictured). Can't wait to visit again when traveling to Albuquerque area.

The breakfast burrito is (in my opinion!) The best thing on the menu. Smothered in Xmas and dolloped with peaks of sour cream make this dish win.It's a fun place to brunch. We make quite a trek out to the restaurant. But, the drive is always worth it.

Wow. Sunday brunch at 4940 today Wicked good and super service Started with nice,strong coffee and Cappuccino Had Blue corn cake with poached eggs, includes bacon, very goodPrettiest dish of the day was Ahi tuna avocado toast, And then brioche french toast....all were very good.Brought home a slice of Tres leche cake from Fancies attached bakeryAnd outstanding brunch choice. Highly recommend the bakery basket, each item was delicious.

Forty Nine Forty in Corrales.We don't often splurge like this, but we were celebrating a couple of milestones and thought it perfect.First off, the place is so cute. Very intimate in the dining room, vs the casual atmosphere in the bakery/market side. And the noice level was very manageable. We absolutely loved it.List of what we had:Drinks were the Lavender Limoncello Martini for me. I have a major aversion to sweet mixed drinks, so took our waiter's suggestion. And it was spot on. So tart and delicious. I savored it slowly despite wanting to drink it down much quicker. Up in Smoke for my husband, made off menu with a special limited rye they were excited to have. He loved it so much, he had the same rye, neat, to sip with dessert. We also shared a glass of Pinot Noir. If only I could remember the name. It was the most expensive glass we have ever ordered out, at $24. Will need to go back or call and find out because it was special. Perhaps buying a bottle won't hit the pocketbook quite as hard.Food consisted of the Ahi Tuna Cigar for the starter. The presentation and flavor were a delight. We shared the green chile grits as a side to our meals. Really yummy. I had the Roasted Sea Bass. Quite possible the best fish I have ever had in a restaurant. So buttery and tender, with a nice crisp sear. So so good. My husband had the Pork Katsu. That was really delicious as well, but I favored my dish.For dessert we had the red velvet cake. To be honest, that's the only dish that I thought was just ok. Meh. Next time I'll try something different. I saw a key lime tart at the next table and thought that looked good.Not only was our waiter very attentive, but the entire staff was. We felt like royalty. To sum it all up, this was incredible food and we loved the entire experience. We will be back for sure. But at the price point it's at, it isn't an every day restaurant. It will be for our special occasions.

Bottom line: Eat here! My husband and I enjoyed a bottle of champagne, the steak tartare (which is dairy free and phenomenal), the aged ribeye without the sauce (because I'm allergic to whey and casein) which was topped with perfectly cooked mushrooms. Yum. The steak was perfect and didn't need the sauce. We also shared the Brussel sprouts which were pretty damn tasty! Brussel sprouts are one of those veggies that can be easily ruined but these were perfectly cooked AND perfectly seasoned. Service: Our waiter was the best! The owner came over because of my food allergies (which the waiter ensured to list on our ticket) and they made me feel like I mattered! The executive chef can be seen at the food window and he was diligently inspecting food. It was a great experience to watch. He cares and it shows! Rant: Sometimes with food allergies (mine are recently discovered) restaurants aren't always good about it or they don't take it seriously. Unfortunately, my food allergies are severe and I need an epi pen. Huge Compliment: So rejoice foodies with food allergies, this place is a class act and they CARE! Only one opportunity: Space. The place can be very cramped because they are busy and there are lots of people there. Clearly, this didn't dampen our experience and we plan on going back soon.

I was recommended this place for a good date night and it's definitely that. Inside has a moody feel and they also have an outside area. We went early upon opening on a Wednesday, hardly anyone there, but shortly after people started showing up. Even though it has a pretty fancy vibe the attire they allow is all ranges including casual, men women with sneakers and sandals. Now on to food and drinksDrinks were very very well made. We had the strawberry crush and the bourbon Manhattan, FULL of flavor and not sweet at all or over powering. We both don't like sweet drinks.My bf is Brazilian so he got the picanha and he liked it but since he's from Brazil he knows how it should be made and he said they cut off the fat and it could have came with more fat. It was served with fresh tortillas, yum. I got the miso cod and it was delicious well made fish full of flavor and not fishy. Ordered the polenta , asparagus, and fries as sides and they were okay. Nothing wow about it. Also had the bone marrow and it was just okay Ive had better.Ordered the olive oil cake and it was also okay maybe just not for me. I did appreciate it wasn't too sweet. So because I wasn't wowed by all the dishes I docked a star due to it being a pretty pricey place. I think we spent over 200$. I would go back though especially to have drinks and a small dish but I would give another dinner a try and I'm interested in trying their brunch. Nice attentive service but we weren't there during a rush hour
