We went here for our anniversary dinner. I will be completely honest, this was not the most welcoming environment. My wife and I are super young, but I definitely felt like our age was being judged like we couldn't afford the meal. We definitely got the side eye more than once. Aside from the atmosphere, the food was AMAZING. We got the fondue, the filet, and the chicken. It was all super incredible! This place is pricey, but it is good. Give it a shot. But, again, be prepared for some judgey vibes. read more

Went here for my birthday with my partner and my parents. When we were offered dessert we politely declined and asked for the bill. After paying my partner and I were holding hands- our first and only display of physical affection since walking in. Not even 10 minutes later, we were asked to leave. The waitress said "even though you're a cute lesbian couple, someone wants your table." Not sure what my sexual orientation has to do with my ability to relax and enjoy my meal...? I've been to hundreds of "high end" restaurants and have never been asked to leave immediately after closing the bill- especially when we hardly went over 1.5 hours. If you wanted to be a fast food establishment so bad just say so read more

Interesting place with a mixed bag of service. Happy hour apps were tiny and over priced. They had a good burger at lunch time. I might come again and sit at the bar to see if that works out better. read more

After many many years of going to Indigo Crow for all of our special occasions, it did not miss the mark for our 25th anniversary. The service is excellent, as is the wine selection and the ambiance. We hope to spend many more special times at Indigo Crow. One request: remember chipotle clams and lamb ravioli? Please bring them back!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Albuquerque area. Located in Corrales, you can miss the restaurant if you blink. I've been there serval times and I can honestly say they are consistent with their food and their service. We have never had a bad experience there and I have even brought friends with me to enjoy the great atmosphere and wonderful food. They have an outdoor patio area where you can enjoy food outdoors when it's a nice day/night outside. read more

Indigo Crow - Outdoor wine and bread - American Near Me - Corrales, New Mexico

I always want to try different restaurants when I'm in Albuquerque. This time is Indigo Crow. My boyfriend told me that he had driven pass this establishment hundreds of times and never noticed it. The patio seating is wonderful for evenings. I ordered the organic greens with candied almonds and sourdough croutons. I picked sesame ginger as the dressing. I ate most of it, but my boyfriend wouldn't stop scooping up the almonds and the sesame. He did acknowledge that he should have ordered it as well. For entree, I chose the Chilean sea bass with root vegetables and white rice and cherries and cherry sauce. They worked very well together. I only wish the piece of sea bass were larger. My boyfriend ordered the special, halibut with some green sauce (pesto?) and green veggies. He was a happy camper with the dish. We shared the dessert, three berries bread pudding. I always order bread pudding if it's on the menu. It wasn't the best I had, but it wasn't bad. It was a bit hard for me. The service was good. We will be back. read more

A Wonderful experience always(!) at Indigo Crow. The food, the atmosphere and great service. Indigo Crow goes with the Corrales vibe so well...it's like you sit down, forget about all your cares and just enjoy the moment. Thank you Indigo Crow for making Corrales a special destination place to have a fabulous time. read more

One of my husband and I's favorite restaurants in Albuquerque. We live on the opposite side of the city, but we always make the drive just to eat here as often as we can. We love the location. It's a peaceful drive through Corrales to get there. Never had anything on their menu that was "just okay". They go above and beyond. All the ingredients are fresh! Personal favorite is their Catalina salad (which redefines salad), or their Green Chili Cheeseburger which is the ULTIMATE burger. The meat is always A++. Also, so glad they brought their traditional fries back to the lunch menu. They are the best you will ever have. Cozy, southwestern atmosphere. Friendly staff. Fireplace in the wintertime. Hope they never change. read more

My food was served cold. It was loud to a point my father-in-law could not engage in conversation with the rest of us since he could not hear anything. My food was nothing exciting to write about. read more

What a great dining experience we had. Service was friendly and attentive. The Catalina Romaine salad was not only impressively presented but maybe the best salad ever. My lamb was perfectly done an delicious. The New York Strip was also wonderful. We will be back often. read more

Geeat restaurant with a standard service ask for Shaun. The sangria's wonderful the bread starters wonderful and the food outside.

Wishing there was higher than five stars! My elderly mother and I who had not had a meal together in almost 20 years had an amazing comfortable afternoon. I had the best crab cakes I can remember even through travels in Alaska and the Northwest. Our server Jason treated my Mom like the queen she is. I've traveled a lot and this was the best restaurant experience I've had in years! 6 STARS! read more

This was our first meal after landing in Santa Fe and we were so happy we chose this restaurant. The outdoor seating was perfect. The waitress was extremely helpful in making dining choices and the food was wonderful! We wished we could have gone again on our trip but did not have the opportunity. read more

Love the way this place combines fine dining and New Mexican tradition. Super accommodating during covid with heaters, sanitizing, and tables. Waiters and staff are always super friendly and knowledgeable. (Especially Kyle!) I always get the lamb chops and emeritus pinot noir -- the literal perfect pair. Ask for the bread before your entree, it is SO warm and fresh and delicious, but try not to eat too much of it! read more

Had brunch with friends and had a wonderful time. We sat out on the patio and while it was a warm day it was very nice. We had a few mimosas to start and they were nice and refreshing. I ordered the traditional eggs Benedict and it was delicious. The service was great and we had a great experience overall. Would definitely recommend for Sunday brunch! read more

Had reservations for this evening. Prompt seating, careless service. No mention of specials. (Learned from another server at a table adjacent to us) Ordered tuna and Bolognese. Tuna was great. Served rare and over rice. Bolognese was just glorified microwaved pasta made hours beforehand. Overall a disappointment for the price. read more

The Indigo Crow: Unquestionably the Finest Dining in Corrales... and consistently among the finest in the Duke City area. Corrales, the charming village on the west bank of the Rio Grande, home to some 8,500 charming residents, has a goodly number of charming restaurants serving great food (Perea's Tijuana Bar, Hannah & Nate's, Las Ristras, to name a few), and the charming Indigo Crow is clearly the best of the best. Corrales is a charming dining destination for the Duke City area. Opened about sixteen years ago by owners Don and Regina Raber in an old house that formerly hosted the Desert Rose, it has become a favorite gathering place for many Corraleños and their friends, and has developed a loyal following (including me). In nice weather, you should (try to) eat your meal on the patio under some gorgeous trees My first visit was with Jane for her birthday anniversary, and I had the best lamb shanks that I have had in New Mexico. Since then, by chance, I have always been there with many sets of guests during chilly times, and my favorite spot is in the back room by the roaring piñon fire. Lobster Ravioli is velvety magic on a plate. Open faced ravioli with Parmesan, mascarpone, ricotta, and mozzarella with slipper tail and lobster claw meat. Fabulous entree. A subsequent visit was for an early May lunch (my first lunch there), and we sat on the glorious patio. So did lots of other folks, many of whom were seniors dressed to the nines for their luncheon outing. Sweet. Part of the loyal following. I mostly go there for lunch these days, and almost always have a GCCB and/or Bread Pudding, both stellar and in my Hall of Fame. You won't find a simple GCCB on the lunch menu -- There may be a Hobo Burger loaded with the kitchen sink, including Portabello. I am a GCCB purist, and while the Hobo is surely excellent, it would be difficult to compare this with all the other GCCBs for my GCCB Hall of Fame list. I special order the GCCB competition style (meat, cheese, green chile all on a lightly toasted bun with no other trimmings or silly things like mayo, catsup, or mustard). Both times the kitchen built one perfectly, exactly to my order. Medium rare with extra napkins to mop the juice from my cheeks. Phenomenal. The meat is hand-cut, hand-ground, hand-formed and lovingly cooked Black Angus. Tender, juicy, and among the best tasting burgers that I have had anywhere. The green is Hatch, match, and is about 7 / 10 on my piquancy scale, and it has that required smoky flavor. Order it with curly fries and onion rings, both of which are beautifully done. Very tasty with no hint of grease. Get a little dish of the excellent Red Chile Aioli for dipping. Real Nuevo Mejicanos have no use for catsup or the like, deeming such condiments tools of the devil. The bread pudding was still on the menu, so I decided to break my diet's rule about having no desserts for lunch. I just had to see if my addition of this bread pudding to my Hall of Fame many years ago is still warranted. This bread pudding is every bit as fine as I remembered, and is still high (competition is tough) on my list. Lunch entrées are mostly around a sawbuck, give or take. A very good value. Somewhat cheaper than Flying Fish down the road. No wonder it's crowded at lunch. There are lots more fantastic dishes here. This is the place that I take my most discriminating house guests. They all rave about the total dining experience. You need to make Corrales and the Indigo Crow a regular destination. Email me before you come, and I may just join you. It's just a short walk from my house. read more

Stopped in on a whim for lunch. First impression was the great patio and atmosphere. Reasonable prices throughout the menu. Started out with the brie. I felt that the flavor of the fruit with the brie was odd, but also it was my first time trying something of that nature. For the main course I had the steak sandwich with onion rings. Steak was really tender and onion rings were crispy. Overall really delicous sandwich and nice portion for the price. Service was great, drinks were filled promptly. I will be back to try out the dinner menu which I took a peak at before leaving. read more

Their seafood is great but their beef is like chewy spam. I ordered the French Dip and it was just sad. Salads are big and amazing here though! read more

Went for my wife's birthday looking forward for a good meal as in the past. Service was good and the wedge salad was delicious. We went with the lobster ravioli in mind but I ordered the fillet instead. The lobster was great, the fillet not so much. Here's the deal, if the chef is offended to serve beef cooked medium well (a little pink) then say so. It came with a nice charcoal coating, no sign of a sauce of any kind. So, chefs, if you are incapeable of preparing meat without burning the outside say so, I would have gladly ordered another dish. read more

This was an OK restaurant. The ambiance is very nice, the service was mostly attentive, and the food was OK. I had a Ceasar salad and the rib eye. The salad dressing was one I would expect from a fast food restaurant. It had almost no flavor of normal Ceasar dressings, and it had no tang, but it was very creamy. The rib eye was cooked well and was flavorful. It came with 4 scrawny asparagus and a huge pile of mashed potatoes (almost the same size as the steak). The sauce with the steak was minimal. I probably won't be back. The smoke from the fireplaces triggered a migraine, and the food was not worth cost they charge. read more

Great food great service great atmosphere. Highly recommended for date nights. Excellent wine selections. Lucky enough to be there for steak and lobster special which was delicious. read more

It's hard to believe that, despite having driven by this place a million times (my parents live two minutes away), we've only been here once. We finally decided to stop in and, my goodness, we've been missing out! The food here is a bit on the pricey side, but if you stop in, you'll quickly understand why. This is serious cuisine. Fresh, delicious, creative, just perfect. We stopped in for lunch. I had the Ahi Tuna sandwich and the husband had the Crow burger; both were outstanding. If you aren't really feeling like dropping a bunch of cash on dining (the dinner menu gets pretty expensive), stop in for lunch instead. Their selection is great and the patio is very pretty. A great place to visit when you're in Corrales. read more

Indigo Crow - Aha Tuna Sandwich - American Near Me - Corrales, New Mexico

In Yelp rating world there is a wide space between a 3 and 4 rating. 1 or 2 are easy. The meal just did not satisfy, clear errors were made, food was poorly prepared. 5's come along infrequently. When they do it is as if the skies have opened and the sun is new. The yeoman's work of a Yelper is firmly planted in the space between 3 and 4. So I rated Indigo Crow 3. I really want to call this 3.5, but can't in Yelp. My grilled romaine salad was excellent. The fillet was ok. The wine was good. Atmosphere was dinghy. Staff was nice. Clearly, a mixed-bag. You understand my dilemma. If you see reviews of 4, they are probably right. Their collection of experiences were skewed slightly better. The conclusion is, read this as a 3.5 rating and know that your experience will fall somewhere between 3 and 4 at Indigo Crow. read more

Went to the Indigo Crow tonight for my daughters birthday We have been coming here for many years. Its always been great. Tonight was good from a food quality perspective. Our service experience was pretty disappointing. Our server Steven was very kind and polite. But his lack of attention and basic service was very poor. When we were sat at our table he stopped by and said he would be right with us. We sat for at least 15 minutes before he reappeard. He took our app and wine order and then it turned into a waiting game. Long story short, we were just trying to find Steven anywhere in the dining room. As a past waiter I know that you earn your tip by great service. This was anything but good service. Most dissapointingly was that the tip was an automatic 20%. I am sorry but that percentage is for upper level service. For such poor service and for the establishment to give a premium tip just did not sit well with me. For the owners to allow this is beyond me. If you want decent food and crappy service and you want to add 20% to your meal then come to the IC. Too many other options than to be pimped like this. read more

While out visiting my family my dad had been wanting to check out Indigo Crow for some time so we stopped in for lunch. Its a little hidden gem with a nice cozy atmosphere. Between three people we had a range of food from pasta to a 'hobo' burger to a BBQ sandwich. All the food we ordered was delicious. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful the entire time we were there. All the desserts made at Indigo Crow are all made in house and sound delicious, we didn't get any desert due to being stuffed from lunch. If you're in the area and are hungry I'd suggest stopping in to the Indigo Crow for some delicious food and a cozy laid back atmosphere. read more

A coworker recommended we go here while we were in town for work. I'm glad we went! A cute little place just of the beaten path with a nice warm fire on a cold winters night. The service was excellent. We explained that we were starving and our app order was rushed in. We shared the fondue and truffle fries. I wasn't very impressed with the fondue, but the truffle fries were excellent. We reach ordered our own wine flights. I think we were all happy with the selections in our flights. I ended up ordering the special for the night, which was a filet with prawns on a bed of risotto and veggies on a skewer. Awesome! The filet was so tender it just melted in my mouth and the prawns were perfection. Even though I was stuffed, I had to try a dessert since they were made fresh that day. I tried the carrot cake, which was great. Overall a wonderful experience... great food, great ambiance and great service read more

We were looking for somewhere to sit outside to feel like we were on holiday. Indigo Crow ticks all the boxes. Their outdoor patio area is situated under huge elm trees. It is peaceful and beautiful. The food was great. We judge a restaurant by the quality of the burgers the Indigo Crow's Green chilli burger was fantastic. We couldn't manage desert, but brought their carrot cake home for later. It is dense and jam packed full of nuts! I took a look at the dinner menu and it looks super. Both the brunch and dinner menus are small, but with enough options to suit everyone. The salads coming out to the table next to us also looked fantastic. They have a good wine list with prices to suit all pockets. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. read more

So I decided to give this place another chance I have to say I was not disappointed. Customer service. We arrived about 10 mins early for the reservation and were kindly greeted and seated. We were sat at a two top by a window..very nice. Our server was on point I wish I got her name. Food. Bread. The bread was fresh and tasty. So good. We both had the pear salad with gorgonzola.Very tasty. I am the lobster Ravioli and my friend had the filet. Both were amazing dishes. We didn't have room for dessert but will try next time. I have I am glad I gave this a second chance. read more

Great food and ambiance. Only complaint- We sat inside and it was very loud. Next time I come I'll try and reserve patio seating. Make a reservation! read more

This is a fantastic place for a nice dinner. The food is incredible, the wine list is great, and you can't beat the service. The atmosphere is unique in that this is an old house turned into a restaurant. Very nice choice for our anniversary. read more

Nice meal, interesting atmosphere. Laura our waitress was outstanding and on top of things. Had the Filet which was truly outstanding and one of the best Filets I've had. The room/table was a bit chilly but we were close to the fireplace and Laura stoked the fire. Would recommend for an out of the way romantic place to go! read more

It saddens me to give bad reviews, but I can't let this go. We went here a few days ago for a friend's birthday. The ambience and decor is very quaint and artsy, so they get some stars for that. The staff was courteous, attentive, and quick, so they get some stars for that. However, the food was totally mediocre. I honestly think I could have gotten similar food at an average grocery store deli. Crab cakes were generic, brie appetizer was not exciting, my arugula salad with chicken was way less than average, chicken was rubbery and underseasoned. Other people in my party had the salmon, and said the risotto was like oatmeal. We tasted one of every desert they had since it was my friend's birthday, and they were all underwhelming. The wine they serve on their flights was also very bland. Go here if you want to have a cockltail and enjoy a cute atmosphere, but don't care much about food quality. read more

I was really looking forward to trying a meal here, but it was disappointing and a waste of money. Lobster ravioli that I expected to be ravioli stuffed with lobster was a mess. I was served a lobster tail with what looked like lasagna sheets wrapped around cheese and mascarpone.the server was nice, but took forever to take our order. It took more than an hour to get our dinner. The atmosphere was nice, but for my money, the food quality just wasn't up to par. read more

We drove out to this small restaurant about 30 minutes from where we were staying. The server was very pleasant and offered honest options of various dishes. We ended up ordering the duck and the lamb chops. My husband thought the duck over done and did not like the risotto that accompanied it. I thought the lamb chops were good and the sauce tasty. We had shared an appetizer of scallops which were fine. I think we might have opted for a restaurant closer to our hotel if we had known dinner was just okay. read more

I just love this little gem. The staff is friendly and they go above and beyond for you. The turkey sandwich is great and the salad is even better. Sunday brunch is even better. If you haven't tried this place you are missing out. read more

It is true what you have read so far in the previous opinions: the trip to get to the restaurant is beautiful, your food, although it is special and very tasty, it will take a while to get to your table, the patio invites you to enjoy it, but in between the heat, the dust of the cars and the desert sand I decided to sit inside. The interior of the restaurant is very cozy but it does dampen sound at all, so if it is full, it will be very difficult for you to listen to your companions. They do not have a cocktail menu nor do they offer options for the little ones beyond the usual macaroni and cheese and breaded fried chicken with fries (a bit boring for bigger kids compared to the delicious offerings for adults). - In short, our waitress was a love and always looked out for us as much as possible. The food was exquisite. I plan to go for lunch and participate in a Sunday brunch. read more

I really wanted to like this restaurant. The reviews certainly made me hopeful, but inadequate service ruined a special event for me. I think Indigo Crow was short handed. The staff decided among themselves, loud enough to be heard, who was going to seat us and serve our table. I'm pretty sure we ended up with a busser. She was nice, but outrageously slow, and certainly not the caliber you would expect at a good restaurant. The atmosphere is very enjoyable, and our food was very good, but I doubt I would be willing again to spend an hour and forty-five minutes to get a salad and an entree, no alcohol. It wasn't just our table either. No one who arrived around when we did was getting food any faster, and the table adjacent to ours also had a server who clearly wasn't ordinarily a server. At this price point, I expect faster, more professional, and more responsive service. read more

So let's expand our horizons. Small town, less than 8500 population, 4 yelp stars, American food sound like my kind of place. Off we go in my signature dress shorts and polo. Pull into the parking lot, looks like an old house converted to a restaurant. Walk in the entrance lead to the bar. Dark inside-ok this place is to enjoy food without being rushed. As the hostess took us to our table I look around at the other people I see button down shirts and slacks. Boy am I underdressed. Service slow - to be expected. But the real reason we are here is for the food. Sea bass, well cooked and seasoned. Flaky and moist through out. Score! Saved room for dessert. Tried the key lime pie, baked on premises. Equally delicious. So we'll do this again-probably a special occasion place. Next time I'll forego the shorts. read more
