“Not the normal experience at PF Changs. I have been coming to this restaurant for more years then I can count and it has ALWAYS been a 5. Tonite it was off. The menu has changed , which is ok, but some of the faves were gone and the menu wasn't updated to reflect that. I ordered something that they were out of and the server did not know until she put the order in and then she had to come back to the table and tell me and my guest. Portions were smaller as well. Not the normal WOW experience.”

“Had a very enjoyable dinner there on a Friday night with my wife, son and his wife. No problem parking within a block and was seated right away for a 630 reservation. Restaurant was only about half full. For appetizers we split the tempura mushrooms which was one of the highlights of the night—very enjoyable. For entrees, we had the fish special, two ducks and the risotto. All were excellent with the fish probably being the best. The desert menu is not huge and we ended up wandering down the street for ice cream. Very enjoyable night out.”

“Hello,
Wow, my first time at Rio Bravo Denny . Mr.
Angel and Ms. Abby attended to me during my visit. They were awesome, as well as the cooks. A robot brought out my food and Ms. Ms. Abby put it on my table and make sure everything thing was ok.
My order was exactly or even batter what I order, what an awesome experience. They were very efficient, my coffee cup was never empty. She made sure it was full at all time.
From the moment they took my order I felt that I was going to have a positive and pleasant experience at Denny.
I really appreciated their above and beyond services. Also, they were very pleasant to talk with. What I’ve experienced tonight I have not seen or experienced in a long time in the food industry. They are definitely an asset to the company.
So, when you get a chance, please visit these two wonderful people who are good what they do, at our local Denny here on Rio Bravo, SW.
Please remember, majority's of their salaries relies on “Tips”. So, please remember to show your appreciation for their hard work and services they provide you.
Thank you for your time.
I hope you have a wonderful experience as well.
Thank you, 👍🏼💯

Parking: From my experiences I would recommend to sustaining what you are doing now from what I’ve experienced tonight. I strongly believe you have two individuals that I came in contact with during my visit who are very proud and take ownership on what they do.
I always believe to sustain great people they need to be rewarded and recognized there dedication to the establishment. I do hope Mr. Angel and Ms. Abby do get a raise and bonus.
On the other hand, an improvement that I’ve recognize is when you exit or leave the restaurant to go west, you can’t. You have to drive east on Rio Brovo and then make a
U-turn. For now it’s manageable. However, I do hope the city staff have a Master plan to improve or remedy the situation.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you.
Thank you 🙏🏼”

“I usually stop in for one or 2 of their seasonal shakes. One of the few places that has a creamy shake that isn't water like in 15 min nor does it have all that foam space filler that is left after a few sips. If it is a flavor that I really like, I'll buy 2 or 3 at a time & freeze them. It's best if you freeze them full so as to keep the consistency a bit better (not so many ice crystals).
A good place to grab a bite to eat.”
Sandwich Shop • $
“Best Subway sandwich ever!!I didn’t get the lady’s name, but she started my sandwich perfectly. Years ago, I, like everyone else worked at Subway & she asked all the questions at once, ending with toasted or untoasted.Len was diligent, attentive, and friendly. I had half of my sandwich be pepper jack and the other American; they asked if I wanted to upgrade for extra cheese… I said no, but I appreciate the offer. He also asked if I wanted it wrapped separately; labeled.. wasn’t necessary for me but felt worth praising. I also love spinach and he, without judgement, gave me as much as my heart desired.They both were pleasant and while it was a short visit we had moments of laughter.As a business owner— I love positive reviews and as an employee I love receiving praise for a job well done.Thank you Thank you both!”

Visit this place. Little pricey but worth it.”

“This is our favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. Not just our favorite Indian restaurant, but the best restaurant, period. Every time we go (once a week!) we are blown away by the incredible food. I can't even describe how amazing it is. The spices, the flavors - everything is exceptional. If this restaurant was in Boston or New York, the reservation waiting list would be a month long and it would be three times as expensive. So grateful it's so close by. If you haven't gone yet, you need to!”

Steak House • $$$$
“Just really disappointed. Cheeseburger was requested medium rare. It came super rare cold in middle I think it was pulled right from package. Steak was perfect medium rare and delicious. First lobster bisque was lukewarm, 2nd was delicious and hot. first garlic mashed potatoes was room temp as well. No idea what 2nd was like I requested not to bring 2nd but they brought it anyways I did not try. Lobster was over cooked, funny that old Red Lobster was better to eat. Seems weird to say. They brought cheesecake in to go box. Why make it worse to open at home with 2 mini drops, one side. No care at all, husband and I just looked at it and laughed thought perfect end to awful meal.”

“I appreciate that they offer food that’s cooked from scratch - not fast food. If you’re impatient or want a quick meal this may not be the right place for you.
My family and I have enjoyed a hand full of vegetarian options and our favorite dish to share is Frijolada without meat. It’s a generous bowl of goodness that can easily be shared between two.
The food is made and served with care. It’s like eating at home.
Thank you 🙏”

“Sushi Gen was an absolutely wonderful experience. The ambiance was nice and calm, service was quick and the restaurant was super clean. Our server Sven was a badass dude, very attentive and polite. The all you can eat was definitely worth it. I went in so hungry that I could've chewed the crotch off of a ragdoll and left with a 7 month food baby. Sashimi was pretty bomb.”

“We went to dinner last night in celebration of my husband’s birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were met by the most delightful hostess. The ambiance and the entrees and wine were fantastic; My husband ordered the filet mignon and I had the chicken dish which were both absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection; the sauces…wow! On the other hand, the desert, a strawberry chiffon cake was a bit underwhelming and not up to the excellence of the entrée. On the way out, we met up with one of the general managers who took the time to ask us about our meal. He couldn’t of been more gracious.The price was not over the top. We look forward to a return visit.”

“great food but better service. was there during the balloon fiesta and had the best customer service in my entire life. they comped my food because i was feeling a little ill from altitude sickness. the waiter, manager and server all checked on me. they said because i did not enjoy my food (again not their fault)that i should not be charged, because in their words the food did not live up to the expectations of the restaurant. i will not hesitate in trying it again the next time i am in albuquerque. awesome restraunt , if you are in the area give it a try .”

Cocktail Bar • $$
“Can't comment on the food since I didn't try it but their El Mezcalero and Mezcal Old Fashioned are delicious. The latter you still get the smoky Mezcal taste with a little sweetness. The aroma was pleasant to my nostrils. El Mezcalero keeps me coming back. It has freshly pressed pineapple juice, lemon juice, ginger, vermouth and honey that is nicely balanced while still getting the smoky profile of the mezcal. So good that one will be tempted to drink it quickly.
Parking: The parking in front of the building is kinda of narrow but there's more parking on the side, street parking and paid parking nearby.”

Italian • $$
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trombino’s Italian Bistro is a hidden gem in Albuquerque! I had the chicken parmesan and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The mozzarella was perfectly melted, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the portion size was more than generous. You can taste the love in every bite! The wine selection is great, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food with top-notch service—this is it!

“This was the best place I have ever dinned in at! I have been to a lot of places and I have never had a restaurant that had everything look exactly like the photo as well as excellent taste. I'm not one to open up and try new things but I went 4 days in a row and I everything I tried was beyond amazing. The management is extremely nice and the waiters were super nice! I am from out of state and I would drive back there just to eat here. Seriously #1 restaurant! Should consider making one in Texas!”

“The best habachi food we have ever had. Our server was very patient and helpful. The plum wine was perfect. I had the lobster and scallops which were cooked to perfection. My daughter had the steak. We didn't realize that we forgot to take pictures because the food was that good. The portions are very big.”

“Marble Brewery is a must-visit! The beer selection is fantastic, with something for every palate, and the atmosphere is always buzzing with good vibes. What truly sets Marble apart is the staff. They're all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making you feel right at home. A special shoutout to Kristen, who always goes above and beyond to make our visits memorable. Her recommendations are spot-on, and her enthusiasm for craft beer is contagious. Marble Brewery is a top-notch spot thanks to the awesome team!”

“Well I just cannot stomach all that salt they put on the baked potato. I wish they never started doing that. Next time I am just going to try and order a baked potato without the salt. They could even just rub all that salt off before cutting the potato. I just forget to request that. Lots of old people are on a low salt diet and this does not help. This is my very favorite restaurant in town.”

“I absolutely loved everything about The Cake Boutique. My husband and I got engaged in Puerto Rico, so when we saw that Birdie had a Pina Colada cake filling, we took it as a sign that it was meant to be. Birdie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Responsive, kind, and very obviously loves her job! She made us the most delicious and beautiful cake that was better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend The Cake Boutique to anyone who is looking for an amazing wedding cake experience!!”

“Food and beer were delicious, the patio was misted, and the staff were super nice! We got the shrimp po boy and it was enough food to split. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, crisp on the outside but not chewy. I’ll be adding this place to my rotation!”

“The menu was diverse, the gumbo was excellent, enchiladas were fantastic and the cherry/peach cobbler was as good as my grandmother's. My waitress (Steph) was attentive and informative about the menu and beer selections. Great dinner, great service and I will definitely be going back soon.”

“Had to wait to be seated. Other people were seated first. Once served the ordering was easy and the waitress was great. When my shrimp and ctab soup came with my salad, it all looked beautiful. My first bite of the soup was "odd". I wasn't going to say anything because I was very satisfied with yummy bread and salad bit my server noticed and asked. She immediately offered a muiltude of options. I then ordered the potato soup instead. It came out immediately and great. Think, lots of cheese and enough spring onions that added a wonderful addition to the soup. The price was very reasonable and it ended up being a lovely lunch. The waitress did a great job recovering the situation, coming out saying both she and her manager thought the soup tasted and thanked me for bringing it to their attention. Been a while since I've seen good se5vice. Will be going back.”

Greek • $$
“We dined at Dōrothéa Fine Greek on 12/8 with friends. The ambiance was fantastic--beautiful interior with lovely individual table lights to view the menu and very comfortable seating--atmosphere was great to enjoy a conversation with friends. Great craft cocktails and wine by the glass choices--I recommend the Aviation cocktail and Duckhorn wines. The menu offers traditional Greek as well as a variety of other choices. The Traditional Greek salad is fantastic. For an entree, I enjoyed the branzino fish, the feta mashed potatoes, and roasted carrots. Food and vegetables were cooked to perfection by the chef. The service was fantastic--taking care of us, but not rushing us. I heartily recommend this restaurant for a memorable and enjoyable evening.”

“First night of their new summer menu and Left Turn knocked it out of the park once again!!! Floating on Basil made its return from last year’s summer menu- basil infused vodka, lemon juice, pineapple juice, soda water, and house made strawberry simple syrup 😍 The drinks are incredible, the bartenders are fantastic, and The Kitchen at Left Turn makes the most delicious fresh chicken nuggets I’ve ever had- make sure you get the housemade green chile dip to go with them!!”

“The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my son’s severe food allergies (dairy, egg, and peanut). They made sure his meal was completely safe, even preparing egg-free noodles and giving us an extra side at no charge. Because of their care, he was able to enjoy dinner out and feel included something that isn’t always possible for us. Truly grateful for their kindness and attention to detail!”

“Ate there a few months ago after seeing on drive-ins, dives and diners. Grown Kids loved it, I just had a medical procedure and my taste has changed over the last 1.5 years, and picky, but it was still great and the always picky grown children loved it, even more and bought a fridge fulling amount of "stuff" from the deli, they knew how to make perogies, now making excellent perogies. Visit this place. Little pricey but worth it.”

The bartenders were so great, taking care of an elderly gentleman who left his card at the bar. The bartender also made sure the lighting was corrected when someone made an error as it became dark outside. We will definitely come back to this location!”

“Had a chance to visit while I was in town. Nice buzzy atmosphere and some really nice looking food options. We'd already eaten lunch, so we opted for dessert from Neko Neko. Loved it! Soft serve ice cream with a Japanese twist. We had the taro ice cream with toasted coconut and black sesame with azuki stuffed taiyaki cone in a cup. I'll definitely drop in when I'm next in the US. ....... Back for an encore every bit as good as the first time”

“Seriously the best restaurant we have found in Albuquerque so far. I’m going to be dreaming about the green chile salsa forever now. The service was amazing and friendly. The food was amazing. The green chile burger was delicious. Brisket Burrito with the red and green sauce. 🫶 Get yourself to The Original Cocina Azul. Our only regret is we didn’t go the first night we arrived.”

They gave me a great info about the brewery history and so much information about each beer, they paired it perfectly with my lunch, definitely order something when you’re here at the food is great. This is by far the best afternoon, I could’ve asked for before leaving town. Check em out, you won’t be bummed!”

“I've passed by a few times. We were headed somewhere else today but decided to try this healthier option. Drive-thru was fine & simple. Looked like there were quite a few food options on the menu, but we got the basic gyro. I ordered the combo, but for some reason the guy didn't hear my order from the driver's seat, so we did a recap at the window. No problem.
Glad I made this choice. We loved our gyros. Perfect texture, & ratio of meat to pita to sauce & veggies. Fries (crinkle cut) I ordered ordered were fine. I generally prefer homemade chips (not an option, personal preference).
The service was friendly, polite, professional & not rushed. An added ending plus were the white chocolate chip lemon(?) cookies added in. It was the 'icing on the cake', so to speak. Tasty, not too crumbly & not too soft. I will definitely be coming back here regularly & highly recommending it to friends.”

“This place was a lot of fun. Was it the best Sushi I've ever had? No, of course not. But having a train of sushi plates steam past you while sitting at you table was just plain fun. The variety of options available was actually pretty diverse. Also, there is a small menu you can order from if you would prefer to have a full sizes roll.
Each plate on the Sushi train has two pieces and each plate is $3.50. My wife and I ate to our hearts content for about $60. That cheaper than any sushi date I've ever been on.
Staff was awesome and the restaurant was clean. Also watching the kitchen crank out sushi was impressive. For a Saturday night, the place was only about half full and there was still plenty of sushi options.
If I have one point of contention, it was, of all things, the Philly roll. I am used to the cream cheese being in side the roll. Sushi fever had huge gobs of it on top that made it off putting and difficult to eat. But if my only complaint is that the most basic roll was unconventional, that won't keep me from return again.
Give this place a try and have fun. It is also very kid friendly.”

“Four friends enjoyed four great meals! Each was well prepared and delicious. Server was wonderful, the room is cozy and the food is incredibly good. One of the best meals ever.”
“This place has an amazing atmosphere. It is very calm and relaxing while also being upbeat and exciting. It is beautiful inside. It makes for a really pleasant dinner. The workers are always coming to serve you more meat. Always bringing out new drinks, which is appreciated because not all restaurants pay attention like this. They are very accommodating to large parties too, which is awesome. Our waiter Ethan was super nice even with my kids being crazy.”
