Not a great experience. Menu was very limited. We were celebrating a girlfriend's birthday and we both ended up eating a burger. I ordered a salad with no onions and dressing on the side. The dressing tasted like it had onions in it so I didn't eat the salad. Ask for no onions or Dijon on the hamburger (yellow mustard instead) and tomato on the side. When I got the bill I had been charged for the yellow mustard? SERIOUSLY! I was speechless. If you're going to charge for yellow mustard, then I want my credit for no Dijon and no onion. The waiter was fair and honestly seemed disinterested that we were there. We told him we were celebrating a birthday, and although I don't ever expect anything, there's not a restaurant in ABQ that wouldn't have offered a desert for the celebrating a birthday. I will NEVER be back to this place. I can even begin to explain my dissatisfaction and disappointment.

We had never been here before. I get the weekly tasting menu emails and always wanted to try one. This menu did not disappoint! 3 of us got almost one of everything on the tasting menu. Of course, we tasted everyone's choice! Everything was delicious! My favorite was the fall salad, followed by the wine poached pear. We will definitely return for the tasting menu!

As always, the food is phenomenal, best restaurant in the Albuquerque area. Cannot recommend highly enough, definitely a must go for sure!

I don't know what is it with restaurants that seat you, plain as day in the middle of the restaurant and NO ONE acknowledges you or even notices you for the first 10-15 minutes of the dinner. No wine list presented at the table, had to ask for one. Sterling was gracious when she did finally come over and the service from there was good. Food, excellent, good portions, nicely plated and presented well.

Elite and upper class establishment Eccentric food, but a bit overpriced A different experience for sure!

Food was so delicious and our waiter was so kind and patient! The experience was awesome itself. Price was a bit steep for portion sizes but overall the taste was amazing!

One of the best “secrets” around is their tasting menu on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Choose from 3 choices in each—an appetizer, salad, entre and dessert for $50. Many of the foods are locally sourced and all are excellently prepared. The menu changes weekly. And finally I found the best espresso martini in Albuquerque and Corrales!

I can not speak highly enough of this restaurant. My husband and I have been multiple times, tasting their main menu (which does change with the seasons) and their tasting menu. All of the dishes are fantastic. My husband and I talk about the plates for days trying to figure out our favorite. The service is top notch. The wait staff bend over backwards to ensure you are having a good time and everything is to your liking. It's a little hard to explain, the wait staff is always there when you need them but they aren't overbearing like other places. You never feel rushed. Plus the cocktails are to die for. I want all my friends and family to try this place out. To have a restaurant like this is Corrales is a god send. I've never been to a place where I want them to take all my money.
We came here for my best friend’s birthday dinner. The atmosphere was very nice, and the menu had some solid offerings. I ordered the ribeye, which was cooked well and enjoyable, and we also shared the pork belly appetizer — very tasty.
Our server was fantastic and provided excellent service throughout the night. Unfortunately, the cocktail experience brought the evening down. The drinks we ordered were flat and poorly made, which made it feel like the bartending staff was inexperienced. When I went to the bar to order a special cocktail for my girlfriend, the bartender was condescending and dismissive, which was disappointing. His service was honestly a 2 out of 5.
Overall, the food and table service were strong, but the bar experience was not up to the same standard. We may return for a meal in Corrales again, but likely not at Forty Nine Forty.

One of the best high-end restaurants in ABQ (well, actually Corrales). It's my new go-to spot. ❤️
