It's a different location, but the food was just as good. We were greeted when we walked in an opted to sit outside. It was a little breezy, but felt good. I was feeling a salad so I ordered the BLT chopped salad with additional fried chicken. You can't go wrong with bacon! AND, the answer to avocado is always yes! It came with a champagne vinaigrette, which didn't really seem like enough, so I ordered a side of ranch. My partner didn't eat the pinon that came with her meal, so I threw those on my salad as well. My partner ordered the Pesto Pasta with grilled chicken. She also got a side of the sauteed balsamic mushroom. Whoa! Those mushrooms were delicious! For drinks she ordered the bourbon mule, and I got my typical IPA. The meal and drinks hit the spot. I can always count on Tula's to quench my thirst and fuel my appetite. The host and server were very polite. The place wasn't packed, so the ambiance was chill. On the way out we noticed they have a nice fire pit in the corner where you could chill, have a drink, and maybe some appetizers. It was a nice meal.

They do have a very nice patio but I was eating inside in lieu of out in the 95 degree heat and flies. I mentioned it to my very sweet server and she got me a battery fan to put on my table to shoo flies! (See pic) I ordered their wonderful Reuben w Caesar side and ate it with the fan shooing the flies while I ate inside. Seriously!! I did let her know the homemade croutons were stale and tough and not very edible. Service, food and drinks here are always very good and polite. I'll be back but not when the outside summer flies are taking over.

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.

Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.

It hit the trifecta of great service, delicious food and cocktails, and a good vibe. We had a reservation and were greeted and seated right away. Dominic was our server and he was great! He knew both the cocktail and food menus well and was easily able to answer any questions we had. Throughout our time there, he gave us just the right amount of attention. There was no hovering and no long absences. The place was packed, and I can see why. They didn't miss a step! The pacing was perfect, and every sip and bite were so good. It was our anniversary weekend and in addition to the dessert we ordered, they brought out a second one to celebrate. Unfortunately, we live about 1000 miles away, so there's a good chance we won't make it back. But if I'm ever in Albuquerque again, I'll definitely be back!

My three other dinner companions all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I also enjoyed mine, which was a Seabass with a side of scallops (pan seared) and their crabcake. Seabass was excellent scallops were good. However, the crabcake, listed on the menu as lump crab meat crabcake, definitely was not a lump crap. I'm from the mid Atlantic. I know Chesapeake blue crab very well. It's a favorite of mine. I'm also familiar, having lived in New Mexico for 29 years, with Dungeness crab from the Gulf of Mexico. Dungeness is, if you don't know, very fine stringy crab meat. This is the direct opposite of lump crab meat, which consists of soft fleshy chunks of crab meat. I spoke with the manager at the end of our meal. I assured him that we all had a wonderful time and enjoyed our meals, except for the crabcake. I did explain to him the difference between lump crab and dungeoness crab, and that this was clearly dungeoness crabmeat in their crabcake. He was appropriately apologetic. He also talked about the fact that Seasons 52 on the East Coast has also on their menu the lump crab meat crabcake. I suggested it was more than likely that they actually were serving the LUMP crab meat on the East Coast, but they clearly were not serving it here in Albuquerque. He said he would pursue it with "corporate" and get it clarified. I share this with you for the simple reason that if you know the difference between dungeoness crab and lump crab mest from the Chesapeake Bay, though you're ordering lump crab meat that's not what you will be getting. With all of that said we have enjoyed Seasons 52 in Albuquerque for years, we enjoyed it for our 28th anniversary last night and I am quite certain we will continue to enjoy it in the future.

And then there is the food. The potsticker appetizer was pleasing to both the eye and palate. I had the meatloaf entree which was delicious. And my husband loved the beef bourguignon.

I wish it went a little harder on the flavor. It was a nice cut of fish though and was a satisfying meal. They had a great selection of wine and kept the glasses full throughout the evening.

We started with the savory brioche tart and excellent house-made breads. The little gem salad was crisp and refreshing, with jicama, cucumber, and a bright buttermilk-lime dressing.

A customized specialty drink was a thoughtful touch, and the cheesecake was a terrific finish. Alex provided warm, attentive service without constantly interrupting the meal--something increasingly rare and deeply appreciated. Forty Nine Forty combines serious cooking with the relaxed, distinctive character of Corrales. Michelin may have missed it, but New Mexico diners shouldn't.

Note* there are two different doors to enter, opposite each other, both opening into what they call the marketplace, but one is near the hostess stand, and the other is across the room. There should be a sign that directs you toward the hostess stand. To whet my appetite, an amuse-bouche was brought out. It was a small slice of duck placed on focaccia bread topped with mango chutney. Off to a great start, if this is a representation of what's to come. For the first course, I ordered the brioche tart and the bread course. The bread course offered three different types of bread (see menu below) served with a large pat of soft butter. The butter had a heavy hand of coarse salt on top. The varieties of bread were delicious. The Brioche tart isn't what I was expecting. I am not sure why it is called a tart. It was on what appeared to be a flatbread piled high with sliced mortadella. The potatoes were cubed so small; their size rivaled the coarse salt, and they were sparsely sprinkled throughout. A few pieces of red onion were also interspersed. I sent it back because the flatbread was hard to slice and the mortadella was overbearing in size and aroma. The second course was the fruit salad. Heavy on the black pepper. It wasn't memorable. It was plated on a dinner plate with a thin layer of savory dressing lining the plate, followed by a single combined layer of sliced fruit and chopped iceberg lettuce, topped with black pepper. There was more salt on the butter and black pepper on the fruit than dressing on the salad. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it wasn't drowning in dressing. But a smidge more would have been nice. I also ordered the espresso martini, and that was very delicious! At this point in the meal, my mouth is so parched from all the salt that I am drinking several glasses of water already. The third course was duck, which was cooked to perfection. The peaches in the dish gave a nice flavor. The rice was delicious and contained large pieces of green onions. The green onions were definitely not as subtle as the potatoes in the tart. Again, black pepper was everywhere. I think that is the chef's favorite spice. Salt and pepper permeated the courses. It's a shame, because there is a plethora of herbs and spices chefs can use to flavor foods. At this point, it is soooo salty; I am drinking the entire carafe of water placed on the table. For dessert, I ordered the Basque cheesecake. It was the highlight of the meal. It was not too sweet, and the flavor stood out on its own. I ordered coffee with the meal, with cream and sugar. The waitress brought everything over but didn't bring a coffee spoon. I simply licked my cheesecake spoon clean and used the same spoon to stir my coffee. I only mention it because coffee spoons are one of the little details that make a restaurant stand out, especially if you are trying to be compared to a Michelin restaurant. I have eaten at many great restaurants and this one did not stand out to me. Positive notes* all of the staff members were friendly and provided good service. That is one way to my heart. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to make me want to return. Not because the food was terrible, but for the price, I expected a better meal.
