Seared Bistro Albuquerque

This place was freaking amazing! The waiter Christopher was so knowledgeable & knew what wines to pair with what foods. He even brought out a Falanghi, Fuedi Di San Gregorio which was different wine for me to sample & it was perfect for me. I had the Farm, which was Duck, Lamb & Pork Belly, while Gerald had a Cowboy Ribeye. I have never had a poached pear simmered in Brandy for 4 hours with a scoop of ice cream, paired with a Chateau Laribotte before. At first the wine is sweet, but after your take a bite of pear & ice cream the wine is tart. Seared Bistro also gives you sherbet & a personalized birthday card for your birthday.
This place is a must try!

Had a great time at Seared Bistro. Roman, our server, was great! The food was delicious. I had the rib eye. It was cooked to perfection and the bone marrow was amazing.

Tried this place out for the 1st time because we wanted to try a new restaurant. The ambience is chill and relaxing. This is a great place to have a date night. They offer wine (pretty big selection) and cocktails. They had a pretty good selection on their menu and the waiter let us.know that it does change dependent on the season. We liked that because we can have different options when we go again. I usually get a picture of the menu to post, however, if it changes it would be worthless so just go and find out. I do recommend giving this place a try. The food was absolutely wonderful! I had the Cowboy Rib eye with Marrow and my wife had the fettuccine with lamb. Let me tell you, they don't skimp on the portions. Yes the dishes can be a bit pricey BUT we had left overs for 2 meals after so I would say it's worth it. We would go back and order the same thing because it was so good. Seasoning was on point and presentation was great. Every employee we encountered was very welcoming. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered recommendations when asked. I can say we will definitely return and are eager to try some of their other options and we have also recommended family members to go as well. The restaurant is kind of hidden but so glad we discovered it. It's located across the street from Old Town so you can probably walk across the street for a stroll or some shopping after. Roll by and try it out for yourselves. I recommend giving them a call if possible to make a reservation because the restaurant isn't that big so there could be a wait.

I came here because all the good reviews on fb and google, my friends warned me about this place but didn't want to believe them. Service was superb since arrival, amosphere was ok, very loud for such a small place. All the food looked so delicious but unfortunately was extremely salty to the point we couldnt eat it and took all home to try to fix it, we werent the only one who thought this since we heard the other tables making the same comments...Weird enough none of us told the server or manager. Will never come back to this place, way too expensive to get inedible food.

7/25/25- This was my first time dining at this restaurant. What a find! The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and clean. There was plenty of parking in front of the restaurant and to the side. The menu had a wide it range of options including some vegetarian. It was hard to decide. Our table had ordered an appetizer of deep fried asparagus, the salmon and filet oscar for the entree. It was absolutely fantastic! I will likely order the salmon next time. The salads we're delicious and fresh. The meal was so good we could not possibly leave without trying a dessert, the german chocolate cake. This restaurant comes highly recommended and I will look forward to eating here again.

we were just passing through Albuquerque, and looking for a restaurant for dinner. This restaurant popped up on our Google search. Because it was close to where we were staying, we decided to go. The atmosphere was great, our server, Roman,, was friendly, very knowledgeable about the wine and the menu, and very attentive. My wife and I both had cedar plank salmon, which was excellent. They had an extensive wine list, and he and his colleague were very knowledgeable about the wine, and the pairings. Our dessert of the poached pear with cinnamon and ice cream was amazing. If you are in Albuquerque, we would strongly recommend dinner at this restaurant. Our experience was amazing and excellent!

We are still struggling to understand how we missed the restaurant for the last 5-years. This is a culinary delight with a varied menu, exceptional food, excellent flavor pairings and delightful service. Now that we know Seared Bistro, we can't wait to return!

Everything we got was absolutely amazing!
