What a great dining experience. Me and the family went out for a nice family dinner and we were delightfully surprised with the great drinks, lovely menu, and the nice atmosphere. The food options were reasonably priced and the appetizers were delicious. We dined for about 2 hours and made our way through 2 drinks, appetizers, and a main course.
I had the beef tenderloin, and it was cooked to order perfectly. The side of fries, made in house, were a perfect crunch with a salty and zesty seasoning. My drink choice was the lavender margarita, and it was prepared with care both times.
I’d love to go back and try more food! Great place to relax and grab a nice dinner.
If you are looking for a nice upscale dining in ABQ, this is the place!! The atmosphere is amazing, service is beyond expectations, and food is mind blowing. We ordered baked artichoke and green chile dip, bread and compound butter for appetizers. Cocktails were crafted beautifully. For the main course mussels posole was so good. The broth had a nice spicy kick and mussels cooked to perfection. The chef took time to stop by our table to take a picture with us. We had such a great time. Will be back to eat here on my next visit.

My fiancee threw me a surprise 40th birthday dinner here and it was one of the best dinners I've had. They sat us in a private room for a table of 15 which was great in itself and the service was amazing. Food and drinks came out in a good timely manner and everything was delicious. I really appreciate the accommodations and the service they gave our party. I highly recommend anybody having a celebration or just for a nice night out to have dinner here. We'll definitely be back again
Got beef tartare for a starter and it was nothing but delicious. Then got the Mahi Mahi with Farro and it was on point. Wife got the Rigatoni and Primavera. Make sure you bring an appetite cause there brownie sundae is a must get after all is said and done.
Overall, a very good experience! The bread is made in the house and very tasty but I’d like to see it served warm. The beet salad was OK, but to me it could use a little pop, like balsamic vinegar or blue cheese; it was too bland to enjoy. But the shrimp and grits and pasta were excellent and the sautéed and oven-baked mushrooms were possibly the best I’ve ever had in my life; seasoned to perfection! I’d definitely go back for more!
Ambiance and service were fantastic. They have a delicious wine selection and the wild mushroom ragout was heaven. I'll be back for sure.
05.10.22 - I came back and the whole experience was fantastic all over again. Service was impeccable and food was delightful. Love this place.
Great food. Our Beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly. Great service. Great drinks from the bar.
We got there on time, table was ready. The host was helpful and friendly. Our server Amanda, was amazing, next time we come back we’d love to have her take care of us. The food was extraordinary. It was our anniversary and we loved it there so much. Our first time going and definitely not gonna be the last. Their menu is amazing.
My friends and I went to Artichoke Cafe for dinner. We did not make the reservation because we were a small group of 3 people. We were seated right away at the bar section of the restaurant, which I didn't see it before. It was perfect little booth (hint for those who want to take your date to). For some reasons, this section felt warm so we took off our jackets.
We started with, A-hem, steamed artichoke :) it came with three different dipping sauces: tomato-based sauce, garlic-cream, and melted butter. The creamy garlic sauce was the winner for me. The melted butter was surprisingly good as well. It had caught me off guard because I was not really a big fan of dipping anything in butter
I ordered the lamb chops with mashed sweet potatoes. It was very delicious! Perfectly cooked to my preferred temperature! The meat was tender and the sweet potato was tasty! They were made in heaven for sure.
This is a little gem that I am sure I will visit again with my future date :)
My wife and I were visitors to Albuquerque and had our fingers crossed on this upscale dining place. But the whole experience from reservations to dessert was exceptional. Flavors were unlike anything we had before.
5/5 for quality, taste, service and outstanding unique flavors! If you’re looking for an upscale dinner experience in ABQ, look no further!
