    We came here as out of towners looking for some local flair. What a hidden gem! The Copper Lounge…read moreis attached to Los Conejos which is a tequila focused cocktail spot. The Copper Lounge had incredibly unique cocktails and the service was unmatched. We sat at the bar and were so impressed by the cocktail menu - what a creative concept! Cole and Taiya were behind the bar and did a phenomenal job in their craftsmanship but also as conversationalists! They deserve to be recognized. Not only did they work hard but they were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the spirits they were serving. We didn't try to food here, but several excellent cocktails that didn't disappoint! I hope for another trip back to ABQ so I can stop in and check out the latest inventive cocktails. Very much worth a visit!

The menu was listed as cast of characters/script, which was lots of fun. Our group was about 20 people, which I'm sure was a challenge, but our server was great and kept us all with full glasses and no waiting. There is a small parking lot with free parking. It was full by the time I got there, but it was easy and free to park on the street nearby. They had a great selection of local beer, wine and creative cocktails. Didn't really try the food but the drinks were great. Would definitely go back!

    Happy hour was great. I made my way through all three happy hour cocktails and enjoyed them all. I…read morealso tried the fried chili strips and fried pickles. Next time I would do only chili strips, the pickles weren't really working for me but that's a personal preference. The chicken wings were out of this world delicious. I would come back for those alone!!! They were tiny but OMGosh, so delicious. Juicy. Flavorful. Perfectly cooked. I also tried the baklava cheesecake which had a tremendous amount of coconut flavor from somewhere I could not identify and did not like at all. Bartender was gracious enough to take it off my tab and I tried the lava chocolate cake. It did not lava and I was very disappointed. Next time I will stick with cocktails, chili strips, & chicken wings. I didn't get to enjoy the rooftop patio but that was only because Mother Nature had plans to open up the sky and boy did she ever!! This place is definitely a vibe & would totally recommend it.

    Secreto was hands down our favorite spot for drinks in Santa Fe. Tucked inside a beautiful hotel,…read morethe bar has an atmosphere that's both elegant and relaxed. The massive mirror behind the bar makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic Western movie, adding to the unique charm of the space. Their signature Sage Margarita is a must-try. The bar is filled with the subtle aroma of burning sage, which creates a memorable experience before you even take your first sip. The cocktail itself was delicious and unlike anything I've had before. My personal favorite, however, was the Mezcal Paloma. Our bartender, TJ, crafted it to perfection. Watching him work was like watching a magician at his craft, every drink was made with skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion. Between the beautiful setting, creative cocktails, and exceptional service, Secreto is a place I would gladly return to on my next trip to Santa Fe.

    I understand many places are understaffed especially during big events like Indian Market. In case…read morea manager reads these reviews here are some suggestions. 1. Place signs around outdoor seating area notifying guests to place drink orders at the bar. 2. Designate at least one person to take orders at tables indoors. This should be easy to track based on who has menus and who doesn't. 3. Set up an online ordering system and place QR codes on tables for easy ordering. Give option to place orders at right or left side of bar. My aunt, mother and I were ignored multiple times by multiple staff after we asked at bar if we should order there and were told to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly. Two other tables that came in after us were served. I then had to go up to the bar to ask to pay as no one came by again even after all our drinks were empty for at least 10 minutes. Again multiple staff walked by us multiple times. Hard not to read into the reasons we were ignored specifically when several groups were being tended to.

    I have chronic sleep issues and cbd has usually helped me. I found a new place I've never seen…read morebefore really close to where I work, and I decided to pay them a visit. As you pull up you see a beautiful new shop that opened with dope looking tables and chairs that have custom leaf logos, and the while inside looks custom designed it doesn't seem cookie cutter, so it shows they took pride in this new shop. I walked in to green everywhere, I think I was getting high just by looking around haha. The managers Of the store told me they just opened a week ago and they are still expanding their selections of products but I saw some really neat stuff I did decide to buy. I got the chico bite cbd chocolate, it was super tasty and really hit the spot. I also saw cbd for pets! So unique, I picked one up to see if it really works on the little furry beasts at home. The guy that helped me was Dominic, and he was super helpful, and showed me all the products and asked what I was looking for and explained their choices well. It's a cannabis dispensary that mostly serves top shelf thc products, pre rolls etc, but they have some cool products for sleep and relaxation that I personally went there to get. Another cool thing they told me is they are about to open up a consumption lounge and you'll be able to hang out, play games (which I saw they already had setup at the tables), and spend some high times with your friends hahaha. The experience was great and I would highly recommend this business to anyone!

    Our son wanted to take us here for an early Mother's Day dinner and I have to say I was surprised…read moreat how good the food was! I wasn't expecting it to look so pretty and taste so good! Dorothea's is a nice white table cloth restaurant that feels upscale but still homey enough to bring our soon to be 2 yo grandson. We had: Steamed clams 5/5: The clams were prepared, presented and flavored well. There were 2 clams that didn't open so it would have been nice if they just removed them instead of tempting us to pry them open (which would be bad clams) but the other clams were so good we wanted to open them! The sauce was a little too wine-y for me but I can see how some people would enjoy dipping the bread they give you into it. Crab mac and cheese 5/5: Wow. The bechamel sauce was so rich and creamy! Good chunks of crab made this mac and cheese so decadent! Greek salad 4/5: This was fresh and tasty but I was a little surprised by how small the salad was considering all the other dishes have such an amazing price point! It would serve once person well. Lobster pasta 5/5: Nice spicy kick that hits you later. Good chunks of lobster and the pasta was so light! I forgot to ask if it was fresh pasta or not. Maybe a question for our next visit! Niko gyro 5/5: the meat was good but what made it amazing was all those nice shoestring fries on top! The fries also had some kind of spicy pepper on top that gives it the extra kick! Traditional gyro 4/5: This was just your traditional gyro with fries. It's good but it doesn't seem fancy! Overall I love this place! The price point is amazing and if we have the time I would definitely like to come again with the family. The service was great with our waiter David filling our water glasses without us having to ask. He also cleared the table and was easy to talk to. Love this place!

    Overall: Dorothea has decent food but there are definitely better restaurants in Albuquerque. What…read moresets it apart is the ambiance. Food: 3.5 We ordered just about appetizer on the menu. My favorite were the little neck clams, lamb lollipop, and Greek plate. The Saganaki, crab stack, and tiropita were just okay. Lamb Shank: This was one of the best entrees ordered. The meat was fall apart tender and flavorful. The orzo was a little watery but was cooked to the correct doneness. Branzino: I assumed that this would be a whole branzino fish but they had already taken it apart which was nice. However, there were a couple of bones that were missed. Crab Mac: This was cheesy and very good. My only grip is that the pasta was a little overcooked. Service: 5 The servers were patient with all the questions and orders from a big group. They did not make any mistakes and food came out at good intervals. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant would be perfect for a date night. It wasn't too noisy and offered a little privacy between tables.

Prices are usually reasonable but I was disappointed to be charged $8.00 for a Dos Equis draft beer. My complaint was with the service. The jerk bartender with the goofy haircut had a hateful attitude. He asked me for my order as if I were an inconvenience. I didn't noticed but they were out of Guinness. When I ordered it, he snapped back at me, "We're out of Guinness.", again with a hateful attitude. In an effort to lighten the mood, I replied, "Oh, that's why you have a plastic cup over the beer tap handle." He slowly nodded his head as if to say, no shit Sherlock. At that point, I almost got up and left due his crappy attitude and clueless customer service skills. How this guy ever got a job here as a bartender is beyond me. A few minutes later, he literally tossed a drink menu in front of me. I was stunned. Reluctantly, I ordered a Dos Equis. He nodded his head, brought me Mr beer and walked away without saying a word. Crappy attitude and horrendous customer service! Ten minutes later, he tosses a food menu in front of me. I never asked for one and he came across as if to say, order some food! Screw that! $20.00 for nachos? I don't think so. Get a clue Sandia. I drank most of my beer, asked for my bill, didn't leave a tip (duh!), and walked out. I doubt I'll ever go back unless Sandia fires that scumbag bartender. He's terrible!
