This is not merely a meal, but a gathering--food crafted with sincerity and served with the warmth of family. The harmony between the kitchen and the hospitality is so thoughtfully executed that departing feels almost improper. It's a rare sensation--one usually reserved for the comfort of a meal at your abuelita's table.

A Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers in Old Town…read more Stopped into Noisy Water Winery while walking around Old Town and it ended up being one of the highlights of the afternoon. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a really cool art-gallery vibe throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time sipping wine and browsing the local artwork. The wine selection was impressive--lots of unique New Mexico wines to choose from, and the tasting flights are a great way to try several different varieties. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations based on what we liked and explaining the wines without making it feel intimidating. We also tried a cheese board which paired perfectly with the wine and made the whole experience feel a little extra special. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun stop while exploring Old Town, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great wine, great vibe, and great service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.

Plus they have a bunch of items for sales that make great gifts. Even when busy they always manage to get to everyone fairly quick. You can buy a bottle, a glass, or do one of their tastings. Mix white and red, all whites, all red, whatever you prefer, and if you want to make it a pairing, they have a menu to order food from. To make it more fun, they end each tasting with a green chile wine pour. Good wine, great service and they even have live music at times.

From the jump, we were welcomed and given a booth with a beautiful view of the mountains. Kirk who was our waiter introduced himself, provided a sample of their signature wine and knew so much about the winery/history and only been there since October. He made suggestions on wines and overall made this experience awesome. Kudos to Kirk

Review for D.H. Lescombes Winery & Bistro…read more We came here to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary and overall had a great experience. We were seated immediately and the service was phenomenal from start to finish. We started with the meatball appetizer with pesto sauce. While it tasted good, the meatballs seemed like frozen/pre-made rather than scratch-made, which was a little disappointing considering the price point. That said, we were brought bread and butter beforehand which was a nice touch. For entrées, my husband ordered the New Mexico pasta and he enjoyed it. I ordered the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and a salad with bleu cheese vinaigrette. My steak was initially overcooked, but they handled it perfectly -- they boxed up the original steak to take home AND cooked me a brand new one to medium rare (absolute perfection). That level of service really stood out. The wine tasting was phenomenal -- we tried a sweet rosé that was absolutely delicious (I wish I remembered the name!). We also ordered dessert and tried the chocolate torte, which was just okay -- not bad, but nothing memorable. Our server went above and beyond, checking on us frequently and even discounting our ticket for our anniversary, which made the night feel extra special. The ambiance inside was quiet, romantic, and business-casual, with beautiful warm décor. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. We would definitely return and recommend this spot for date nights, anniversaries, and wine lovers. Great service, solid food, and an inviting atmosphere.

Service was good and friendly. Flight can get creative and it's a nice space to relax and enjoy.read more

A Welcoming Gem with Delicious Wine and Charcuterie…read more Trevor was incredibly sweet and helpful--his hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The space itself is fantastic, with a variety of cozy spots to sit and savor a glass of wine. Even the outdoor areas feel inviting, despite being close to the highway. The wine selection is impressive and delicious. It was such a treat to sample so many different varieties--I only wish we lived nearby so we could work our way through the entire menu! Even the cocktails were surprisingly tasty. We also ordered a charcuterie board, and wow--the cheese was absolutely amazing.

Nice decor and ambiance. Definitely returning.

I had high hopes for brunch at Casa Rondeña Winery, but unfortunately this was a disappointing…read moreexperience overall. We had a reservation for 11:30am and arrived on time, but ended up waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no staff in sight. We called multiple times for assistance before anyone came out. To make matters worse, the friend who made the reservation was never informed that brunch is held in the private club and not the e restaurant, which caused unnecessary confusion right from the start. Once a waiter finally found us, we were taken to the private club where we were told they only had three brunch menu items available that day. We ordered immediately, along with waters and mimosas. Keep in mind, there were only two tables total--our group of three and another group of seven--so it wasn't busy. Despite that, service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes just to get our mimosas, and our waters were forgotten and didn't come out until another 10 minutes later. Our food took about 40 minutes, which felt excessive given how few people were there. Even more frustrating, my friends' meals came out about 10 minutes before mine. There's really no reason meals at the same table shouldn't be served together. The food itself was just okay. The only standout was the French toast, which was actually really good--and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star. I also ordered coffee and was told they don't carry creamer, which is surprising for a place offering brunch. Our waitress rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which added to the overall lack of service. Between the confusion, long wait times, and lack of attention, this experience didn't meet expectations. I won't be returning.

A group of friends and I got together to celebrate February birthdays. We chose Central Bodega for…read morea nice evening. Our reservation was on time and people were quite attentive, assuring us it would be (we got there early). The ambiance was relaxed and quiet, but it got noisier as the night crowd joined. Service was attentive and also slow at times. I am unsure if the slow service was as we were enjoying our company or if this is the norm. As friendly as the service was, there were some significant mistakes. One order was not put with the others, delaying the dish even more. Having a party of six, I would expect the server to ask how to split the check before giving it. That delayed things even more at the end. To correct this mistake, he offered a drink on the house. And the last one, they charged me for drinks we didn't drink. We found this after we left. In terms of drinks, they were fantastic and long-named! My bartender's choice was absolutely in point. Even though the dishes came late, we were excited when they arrived. Visually, they were pretty. I can only describe our dishes and not that of our friends, as we didn't try them. For appetizers, we got the crudo. This was quite refreshing and bright ahi tuna with lots of citrus helped by pieces of creamy avocado. The hubs got the steak frites. Visually appealing, but the flavors did not match my eyes. The meat was cooked perfectly but was missing flavor and seasoning. The fries were also bland. I got the seared duck breast. This dish was visually stunning. However, it also did not meet the expectations set by the visuals. The vegetables and balsamic sauce were the heroes, while the duck breast was small and a third was just fat. Considering the prices of this place, we expected the visuals to match the flavors, but they were unfortunately not the same.

The menu is fun and creative, with unique options that make it exciting to try something new.

It's definitely on the middle to higher end in terms of price, but you're paying for the full experience -- the ambiance, the quality, and the flavors.
