The establishment boasts a truly distinctive aesthetic recalling a refined Southern charm reminiscent of Georgia that immediately commands attention. The space is remarkably well-appointed, offering expansive outdoor seating alongside an interior that is pristine, polished, and spotlessly clean throughout. I settled into a lovely private nook, perfectly positioned to enjoy the welcoming, lively atmosphere around the bar. The hospitality was top-tier from the moment I arrived gracious, attentive, and effortlessly polished. To celebrate a midday Friday, I selected their House Paloma, which arrived artfully presented, wonderfully crisp, and expertly balanced. For my main course, I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Bowl, which proved to be an absolute culinary triumph. The chicken was prepared to perfection, delivering a vibrant, fiery kick of spice that elevated the entire dish. Between the immaculate cleanliness, standout decor, magnificent cuisine, and stellar service, Sixty-Six Acres earns full marks from me. A marvelous discovery I shall most certainly be returning

I have lived at the Fairwinds many years now. I first moved here with my husband and we lived in a…read morevery comfortable Independent Living Apartment. I was immediately impressed by the staff. you couldn't ask for better care and warmth. we participated in any activities that were offered and made new and lasting friendships along the way. thru those years there were difficult times. I guess the most difficult was the pandemic when we were limited to movement within the building but you would be amazed attn lengths the staff went to to keep us happy. delicious meals were delivered to our door ( we ordered from our menu's ). Games were played at each door if you wanted to participate and there were fun prizes. The weekly wine socials were brought to your door. Meanwhile, all the necessary health precautions were taken. The apartments were thoroughly cleaned weekly. When necessary, immunization clinics were brought to each resident and if you wanted to participate, they made it easy. Eventually that passed and life got back to normal but it's hard not to recognize the professional handling of that difficult time. The building was renovated and mad lovely for us. If anything needed to be updated, it was life moved along smoothly and I must admit, to my surprise. There were many staff changes but amazingly, the staff remained warm and caring. Deep down, I can forget that they are dealing with many different personalities and sometimes elderly people can be a tad grumpy. The loving staff simply overlooks the bad days. Food is always an issue but the menu is large with choices for everyone. If that isn't enough, there's a really great Bistro you don't want to mis. The activities are numerous and year round. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and outings take place twice a week. All you have to do is signup. I can't close this without mentioning that my husband passed away in 2022. it was a difficult time made easier by the Fairwinds staff and especially the management. Being100% deaf and disabled, my family wanted me to move to assisted living despite my reluctance. Doralei warmly helped me make that decision to move and very graciously helped me find a comfortable apartment. The move was smooth and the golden treatment given by the health and Wellness staff has been perfect so I have to admit that it was the proper move. When I need appointments, the transportation service is wonderful and I can't forget to mention the wonderful drivers. Do you see how fortunate I furl that all those years ago, we made the decision to move here it was the perfect one. You can't go wrong.

I am glad they host queer women's dances though.

I got the multiple scoops of ice cream on the side (designed in the shape of roses) and the cobbler itself was a flaky puff pastry crust containing sweet peaches and biscochitos arranged like the shingles on a roof. I definitely had more than enough to bring home. Service was friendly and I'm surprised more people weren't taking advantage of the nice evening out on the patio. 2026 #25

"Quick local and general faves right by UNM campus!"…read more Came here at 12:30pm on a Monday-- the place was HOPPING. There was a long line to order at the counter. Still, I was impressed that the line moved fast, and that we were able pretty quickly to sit at a table for 4. The place looks like a barn from the outside, but the inside is quite large and inviting, where you order at a counter, see when your number is ready per screens, and pick up your food. I ordered the green chile cheeseburger and a side-salad with thousand island dressing. I also had a few bites of my girlfriend's sweet roll. Food was ready in under 10 minutes despite the incredibly large number of people ordering. The salad portion was pretty big-- I didn't expect that at the price of something like $4. It was good-- pretty standard lettuce/ tomato/ etc., but nothing wilted and no stems. The burger was delicious. It was a little hard to eat since the green chile sauce had made the bread pretty wet and was dripping all around. But the burger was good, the sauce excellent, and the accompaniments on the burger also fresh and tasty. The bite of the sweet roll-- wow. LOTS of butter, but man, did it taste good! The place was pretty clean overall for a large diner-like place. A nice lady came and took our trash, and the restroom seemed like it'd been maintained. To be clear, the place was hardly spotless, but when you're feeding that many people, it'd be impossible to be so. Price was great. Very inexpensive. I'd heard good things about this place, and having sampled, I get it. For a quick, easy, decent quality lunch by campus, it's hard to imagine better.

The restaurant has a unique Southwestern atmosphere and a lot of character. We enjoyed trying the New Mexican flavors, and the portions were generous and satisfying. Everything felt casual, affordable, and very local. I can see why Frontier has been an Albuquerque favorite for so many years. If you're visiting Albuquerque and looking for a classic local food stop with a laid-back atmosphere, and friendly services, this is definitely worth checking out!

And unlike some places who put everything into looks and little into taste, the food was excellent... plus, check out the size of that cinnamon roll! Not crowded on an early Saturday morning, we got seated right away and there was plenty of parking available outside. Super-friendly service. I wish I had asked the name of the lady who tended to us.

One would have been more than enough. But for less than $10 i did get a lot for my money. My husband ended up getting the chicken fried steak which was his second choice because they were out of the first. The chicken fried steak had good flavor but was on the smaller side and was chewy. The service was a bit slow but the server did keep refilling our coffee which is a huge plus. On the way out i did see some people being served lunch and it looked really good. I would go back to try that and the funnel cake shake that was on special.

For lunch I had their red chile bbq pork sandwich while my wife had the enchiladas. The food is a mix of Southern soul food and New Mexican standards. My wife actually preferred her food here over the well regarded New Mexican restaurant we went the previous day. I really liked my sandwich with its kiss of heat.

My husband surprised me with dinner here while we were in Albuquerque celebrating my 50th birthday,…read moreand it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. This charming little bistro near the south end of Old Town is elegant, welcoming, and truly a hidden gem. Having convenient on-site parking was a nice bonus, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our server, Christopher, made the evening even more memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He also took the time to recommend several local restaurants and places to visit, which we really appreciated. We started with the mussels, and they were outstanding--fresh, tender, and served in a rich, spicy butter broth with perfectly toasted crusty bread for dipping. My cedar plank salmon was cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and paired with a delicious chorizo risotto. My husband ordered the filet mignon, and after trying a bite, I can understand why he said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. The mushroom risotto and seasonal vegetables were the perfect complement, and the fresh salad with homemade dressing was a great start to the meal. To top off the evening, the staff surprised me with a three-flavor sherbet dessert complete with a birthday candle and a thoughtful personalized birthday card. It was such a sweet touch that made me feel truly celebrated. We couldn't leave without trying the German chocolate cake, and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable dinner. Everything from the food to the service exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu the next time we're in town.

The last time I went I ordered the salmon and chicharrones risotto and ohhhh man it was good. It was cooked to perfection! One of our guests ordered the filet at medium and it was more like rare. They were able to cook it a little more, but beware on their steak temps. My son got a scallop special with mushroom risotto and he loved it. My other friend got the steak kabobs and she loved her also. The service was decent. We did sit for about 30 minutes at one point before ordering and we were already a bit behind schedule in trying to get out for a play at Albuquerque Little Theater. We let our server know and he didn't really help us out much. We got to our play on time, but barely. He also seemed annoyed at us for letting him know we needed to get out of there. He actually seemed annoyed about a few different things. I've had other servers there that are much kinder and more patient. He knows his food, but he is not the kindest. I do want to check out the little bar area they just opened. It looks more relaxed. They mostly have high tables over in that new bar area which my little short legs don't appreciate, but sitting at the bar sounds fabulous. I'll definitely be back! Cheers!

I feel like some fire pits and heated lamps as it gets cooler would be a nice touch for the outside seating area. A few of the little food kiosks are still empty too.
