Came back for the Fiesta again this year and I OF COURSE had to visit the Indigo Crow again. They never miss a beat! PHENOMINAL service and food yet AGAIN. Thank you to the staff and cook. read more

It's tring to be the best restaurant in Corrales. It is American cuisine, a great building and decent service, which is something lacking in Albuquerque in general. But they don't know SEA food. Cook steak, ok, chicken kind of, mash a potato, hard to mess that up but seafood, oh man, no. For 34 bucks I had 5 mussels, 4 small scallops, 6 shrimp, 4 cockles and 1 piece of , they told me lobster, the size of a jolly rancher all of which were completely over cooked in a wine and beef stock broth that wasn't cooked down. Who ever was in that kitchen should be sent to pappadeaux's down they street and see what how good seafood can be if you care about the ingredients. read more

We have dined at Indigo Crow before, but last night's New Year's Eve service was a disappointing departure from our previous meals. The service was a fixed four course meal. First course was good - pork belly and shrimp were both tasty, but the second course was a disaster. Salad had too much raw onion to be edible, but the kicker was the lobster bisque. Bisque was cold. We sent it back and same servings came back only marginally warmer. Server "explained" that, being dairy based it was not meant to be served too warm. Hogwash. Main coarse of lamb was also cold as were sides on all plates. Rather than making sure issues were addressed, the server told us how the chef was new and that it was not her fault that the food was cold. That was no great comfort. I can only conclude that there is no one at the Indigo Crow who is monitoring the food leaving the kitchen for quality. For a $100 plus per person meal (with wine), I expected much better. read more

A Corrales treasure! Dinner is divine ! Wine list is well selected. But WAIT have you tried their lunch menu? To die for!!! Indigo Crow has been a regular spot for me and my husband - now it is our favorite lunch destination too! read more

Last night was our first time to visit this restaurant. It was to be a special dinner for us as a Christmas Eve dinner. There were 6 of us. Family in from out of town. Really looked forward to this event. It was very busy at the time of our reservation. We were seated promptly, Server came in a reasonable length of time, Orders were taken. We waited quite some time for anything to arrive. When the plates were brought everything looked very good in the presentation of the meals. However I had the Filet and looked forward to a good steak. The meat itself was excellent, The whole meal when it came was not the temperature it should have been. Upon reflecting on this experience I conclude that they were extremely busy considering it a Holiday weekend. It was evident that there were simply not enough staff to care for the customers. I believe our meals were prepared and waited for some time to be brought to us. Therefore causing the problem. The staff were courteous and performed as best as they could. No problem there. This is classified as a first rate restaurant. Menu is reflecting a special type of dining. Which was shown as chef prepared with care. Of course this being the case the cost of the meals are expensive. It was a disappointment to find the meal not as expected. Problem in a nutshell was they were short on help. Had there been enough help I am sure our meals would have arrived on time and ready to eat and enjoy. Lack of proper temperature loses much in flavor and quality of the dish. read more

Gone down hill...went for Sunday brunch for their crab cake Benedict. Unfortunately they've started using frozen crab cakes-all breading, no crab. And to make matters worse, ours was ice cold...and there's nothing grosser than congealed eggs! Our waitress apologized for the delay, since she was 'busy making Bloody Marys'-not OUR drinks btw...but she didn't offer to brin us actually warm food or comp anything! So we ate our crappy, cold, congealed crab cake bennies...but we won't be back! Blech! read more

Food was good but service was very slow. Atmosphere is nice and cozy.

We were at Indigo Crow for brunch on a Sunday. Hint - make reservations! The place was mobbed. We were early for our reservation, but we were seated within about 10 minutes by the friendly receptionist. We had requested seating on the patio which is lovely in good weather. It is shaded by giant cottonwoods, open to Corrales Road which, on a Sunday, was not noisy. Althought our order was taken promptly, and drinks arrived without delay, we waited for a fairly long time for the food to arrive. We were in no hurry, but if you're trying to eat and run you should probably alert your server. Our drinks were refreshed quickly throughout the meal. We started with the Grilled Romaine salad which we shared. It was very nicely done, with just the right amount of char. The tomatoes were in season and full of flavor. I'd recommend this to anyone. I had the Eggs Benny which is two poached eggs over ham on crab cakes topped with hollandaise. The eggs and ham were perfectly done, the hollandaise buttery and smooth. The crab cake had little crab favor and could have been left off without loss. Perhaps the regular Eggs Benny would have been a better choice at $3 less. My husband had the Chorizo Burrito which is similar to the Village Burrito with the cafe's own chorizo in place of the sausage. The chorizo is made with lamb and pork and was very tasty. This is a substantial meal. Both our entrees came with crispy potatoes and a small salad of greens and tomatoes. We were very happy with the food, the service and the ambience. read more

Best American cuisine in ABQ. Great lunch prices and atmosphere. We always start with the beef skewers. They are served with pickled ginger and a Teriyaki sauce. I also can suggest the Burger for lunch and the Lobster ravioli for dinner. My girlfriend and I eat there at least once a week and have eaten almost everything on the menu. read more

Had dinner here several years ago and put it on my "must go back" list. Five years pass and I am happy to say this place is still in business and as fantastic as ever. For a late lunch, I had fish and chips and my husband had a burger. We also shared crab cakes as a starter. The service was excellent. The chile sauce for the crab cakes was superb. I have fish and chips almost everywhere I go and these were great! Just the right amount of crispy. Having hush puppies included was a special treat. The next time we travel to Albuquerque, we will for sure stop here again. read more

Food was only okay and it wasn't warm. Service was slow. We were there for over an hour and a half, mostly just sitting and waiting. Our waiter, Sean, was cold and slow. He would cater to other tables but ignore ours . They charged me one dollar for a tablespoon of red chile, which is the most disturbing part. I wasn't told I was going to be charged. We never got a water refill. We waited a long time for our check. When I questioned being charged for the small amount of red chile, I was ignored by your waiter!! He didn't even look at me. I asked to speak to the manager and our waiter announced he was the manager (great). He said the problem was that we were busy but offered to give us desert. Not much of a comp for a meal over $60.... read more

Dined last night (Thursday) with a group from Placitas, NM. Service was awful, food even worse. Took 2hrs and 45 minutes to be served and eat. Salad inedible and steak over cooked. Will avoid at all costs. Do not plan on being held hostage at this restaurant again. read more

Excellent service and food. Loved the filet, sea bass. Nice happy hour for drinks and appetizers. After a week of Mexican flare food very happy to find a nice ambiance restaurant with a welcoming staff. Highly recommend. Thank you Jason and Kyle. read more

Tried the Ahi tuna salad and a chicken bacon avocado sandwich. Plating was very nice and the food was amazing. Service was slow and the waiter was not very friendly. Food and patio atmosphere made up for that short fall so we will go back and try again. read more

Waited 45 minutes for 2 entrees. The server was nice and apologetic, but when the food came my crab eggs benedict was only warm, and the blueberries in my side of fruit had a disgusting texture. Like they had been dehydrated and rehydrated or something. They allow dogs in the outside seating area, which is cool, but not so cool when the dogs won't stop yapping loudly. Also I got food poisoning after eating here, I'm pretty certain this place was the culprit. read more

Picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner. Arrived 5:40 and the restaurant was not busy. Despite that we had horrible service. Our appetizer just came to the table and a few minutes later our salad arrived. Our original server disappeared and we had different servers until a gentleman said he was taking over her station. My husband's steak was overcooked and he barely ate it. The desserts sat at the counter waiting for our server to pay attention to them. He finally brought them to the table and forgot our coffee. Overall it was a very disappointing experience, not the celebration we expected. read more

New Years EVE. Unbelievably they had an opening at this late notice. The menu was four items at $65 or $69 each. OK.....But - I have a degree in culinary arts, but did not need it to discern that: This was without a doubt the WORST meal I have ever had. The salad (I was told) had dressing already on it, but neither my date nor I could taste/notice any- even on the bottom of the plate. The tenderloin (filet ) was cooked properly, but no bacon around it, and no seasoning. Very bland. HERE'S THE REAL KICKER --- scallops wrapped in bacon with shrimp. Both frozen- the scallops (2) were small - about the size of my thumb -and rubbery. The shrimp were small - salad size- and rubbery. The bacon wrap was about ¼ a piece of bacon. $65???? WOW! I did not want to upset my date, therefore I did not point out this discussing presentation to the management. NEVER TO RETURN! read more

Went here for dinner a while back.Fist of all it shows a full bar, WRONG. Full bar means cocktails with liquor, not wine based cocktails. They have beer & wine only. The crab cakes look & taste like they come from the frozen food isle at Sams Club. I had the duck, which was flavorful, but overcooked & tuff. Dont remember what the wife had, but she liked it We will go back, now that we know what to expect, & try something different as the patio & atmosphere are verry good. read more

Stop in just had the happy hour menu brisket sliders , teriyaki beef skewers, and wedge salad. We also had red sangria. Everything was excellent and the service was great also. Nice place very nice great menu. read more

Love this place! The food is so flavorful and elegant. Everything I have had here has been great. Never had a bad experience. Will keep coming back! read more

I ate there yesterday. I had a salad that had been shaped into a square. It was suppose to be their specialty. For the price and description, it should have been adequate. It was suppose to have bacon and bleu cheese. It was basically chopped up romaine lettuce with a nothing dressing. We laughed that we caught a small taste of bleu cheese once, as my friend also ordered it. We left there hungry and I am not a big person. Never again. read more

I went to this establishment today with my friends and received the absolute WORST service. We saw our food come up and it still took 15 minutes to get to us, we were there an entire hour and never got any water refills or even ASKED how we were doing. Everyone in my group is in their early 20s, which shouldn't result in us being treated poorly. Everyone else around us that consisted of more "mature" group members were always being checked in on and receiving refills. when we asked to see a manager, our server just so happened to be a "manager". He then brought up "it wasn't due to our age" even though we didn't even start the complaint that way so clearly that was the issue. He also charged my friend 1.00 for pretty much a tablespoon of chile WITHOUT TELLING HER SHE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR IT. when she brought it up when paying he didn't even acknowledge her. I'm livid and if I could rate 0 stars I most certainly would. read more

Had a super disappointing dinner at Indigo Crow in Corrales. Undercooked shrimp and scallops and super fatty duck. Would not recommend.

A fantastic surprise with extraordinary service and food. Sam is a great consultant and server. Our experience was superb. Will come here again. Ahi tuna is excellent and pork shanks are truly unique. Sea bass was perfect. Try a templeton rye old fashioned. read more

I don't know what was going on tonight between the kitchen and the wait staff, but our meal tonight for a party of four was an absolute mess. It took an hour to get our apps (and we had to ask for them three times). Thankfully, we were told they were being removed from our bill when they finally came. Of the entrees, a lobster risotto was perfect, but the two medium filets were lightly seared and bleeding at the table with cold pink centers. My duck breast was almost raw. Inedible. When I went inside to complain, two waiters were talking about the kitchen and how something was "f-ing bullsh-t" while the other remarked "I'm so f-ing pissed off right now." I walked over to the chef, and asked if the waiters were to blame--he told me they weren't, that they had some problems in the kitchen, took the blame, and apologized. I didn't eat my meal--but I did pay for it. On my way to the parking lot, a waiter followed me and told me that the kitchen blew it tonight, and he was going to let the head chef have it in the morning. Whatever, guys, just get it together. Worst dining experience I've had in years. read more

Worst Mother's Day brunch ever.. wannabe haute cuisine.. first course was supposed to be salmon on a potato cake, it was literally a tiny piece of salmon on 2 pinches of hash browns. 3 prime ribs ordered medium rare were all completely rare.. after the server made us slide the steak off onto a another plate ourselves, the kitchen returned it completely overcooked. Lobster eggs benny was not poached, was hard-boiled and couldn't find a drop of lobster. Desert was a single truffle, probably from Trader Joe's, with an unripe single strawberry. Not only a horrible brunch, but a complete embarrassment to take our mom there. read more

In my opinion this is one of the worst restaurants in the Albuquerque area, and certainly THE worst in Corrales. The staff (including the owners) are rude and the dishes are completely overpriced. I ordered a bowl of soup which was barely more than 3 sips of soup, and it cost $5.00. Another time I ordered a sandwich that was supposed to be grilled, but was really just soaked with oil or butter and the bread was not at all crunchy. It was inedible. I will never go back to this restaurant. If you're looking for delicious food in Corrales, go across the street to Hannah and Nate's, or down the street a bit to Casa Vieja. Both of those restaurants have great food and good prices. read more

Man! Great food and service. Will add Indigo to my top five!

We decided to dine here on a high recommendation from friends. My husband ordered huevos rancheros but received enchiladas. The eggs were over easy when he ordered scrambled. Again the dish came back wrong. By this time I had finished my order. My crab cake egg benedict had mostly bread in the crab cake, very very little crab. There are too many other good restaurants in town to even think about going back. read more

When we arrived at 10:15 am on Valentines Day, oddly, there were a bunch of empty tables. It took a long time just to get noticed so when the waiter finally came we ordered coffee and asked him to take our food order right then. When it came it was obvious it had been sitting around for a while - lukewarm potatoes and beans, and the French Toast was burnt. When we asked for the strawberries that should have come with the dish, we were told they didn't have any. The huevos rancheros I ordered were unrecognizable as such, served on a huge chipotle tortilla normally used for wraps, and the green Chile was hiding somewhere on the plate. The waiter offered to comp desserts for us so we all ordered some. They were adequate but my companion's key lime pie had a hair in it. Ugh! At this point I couldn't wait to get out of there so I forgot to check the bill for the comps until I was in the car - we were charged for the desserts. I cannot recommend this restaurant and will not eat there again. read more

It's The Crow! Great food, great staff and just a cool place with s nice stmosphere. Crab cakes, Catalina, everthing! Nice wines too!

First and last time to this restaurant. We made a reservation on Mothers Day for 1:30. We did not receive our main course until 3:00. It's not like people were waiting in line to be seated. My wife and I had to send our meals back because the meat was not prepared as requested, sushi is the only thing I like raw. The waiter was pleasant but I've had better service at Wendy's. Given the price, about $40/plate including tip, this was a waste of good money. I'm giving it a second star because it was in Corrales read more

It really pains me to write this review as our experience was completely positive until the very end, but I feel that I need to warn others that this place is NOT dog-friendly, despite what their Yelp might say. We sat on the outdoor patio and the hostess and waitress were both lovely and excited to interact with us and our puppy. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the overall vibe, until the very end - mere minutes before we exited (after we had paid the bill and finished everything minus maybe one sip of mimosa), the bald male waiter (not someone we had interacted with to this point) felt the need to make a show of kicking my family out due to our dog's behavior. Nothing had been said about our puppy before then, save for when the hostess came out to play with him, but apparently the older women drinking at the table next to us had a problem with his presence and this waiter saw an opportunity to get on their good side at our expense. I sincerely hope the few extra dollars he may have made in tips was worth ruining a family brunch celebrating my husband's Marine Corps birthday. We will certainly never be returning due to the frankly embarrassing and disrespectful way we were treated by this staff member. read more

Honestly the food was wonderful. But as parents of a 4 year old, we do not get out often. Our time is very valuable. We got there at 6pm and literally just left the parking lot- 2 hours later! The service was absolutely awful! We felt like our waiter had totally forgotten about us. To pay $80 for a meal for two and have to remind the waiter that we need refills is ridiculous. The kitchen was so backed up that an hour into us being there the managers or owners stepped up and started handling the kitchen tickets. Well that area was next to our table. The head chef has slept in and the owner told him she didn't want to hear that shit. The management should have given discounts and gone to every table apologizing! I would only recommend this place if you have a few hours!!! read more

I have desperately wanted to love this place for years.Lovely ambiance and close to my home. I believe we have given this restaurant more chances than deserved, It started back a few years ago when we had a couple horrendous incidents with the waiter, Hugh. One time he questioned our tip and another time (Mothers day) he was trying to rush us to leave by moving chairs and tables around us and the telling our waitress in a loud voice "this is how you get it done." It was clear what he was trying to do (i guess you had to see it in person to understand.)We had another incident where we had to send a steak back twice and the third time it still wasn't right. I contacted what i believe was the old owners and they were disappointed by our experience. They wanted to pay for a meal on them and told us they had many complaints about Hugh and he was no longer employed. We had a fine experience next time we came in. My husband did not like this place from the moment Hugh questioned his 20% tip that we left during a very slow Tuesday lunch, so anytime we went here was because I forced him to go with me. About 6 months later, i convince my husband to go and we were dumbfounded to see Hugh waiting tables. He was rehired by the new management. For awhile I had to specifically request to not be seated in his section. After a few visits, Hugh was ultimately our only server option. Hugh's attitude seemed to have a improved a bit but a little late in my mind. The food has not been what it used to be. I order fish quite a bit and my last 3 orders of fish have been average at best. The meal itself is boring,repetitive or sometimes not cooked the way fish should be cooked. We had some friends come into town on Saturday and they all wanted to go to Indigo Crow. My husband and I hesitated but agreed to go. Six of us arrived to dinner and we luckily did not have Hugh as our server. Everything was going fine until I ordered the Halibut special. I am convinced they started cooking my fish at the same time as they started the steaks that had been ordered by my friends. My fish arrived, it was warm and hard to cut through with my fork. I took a few bites and the fish was chewy and hard to swallow. My husband tasted it and thought it was chicken and my friend also agreed that I should send it back. I am not the type of person to send back food, in fact I will just eat it in misery, like i had done here before. So, i sent it back apologizing for the inconvenience. How is that for backwards. Our waitress apologized too but didn't seem to concerned. Naturally, everybody has finished their meals by the time my halibut.2 arrives. I take my first bite and instantly I'm happy. The fish is hot and...oh wait. First bite of fish was accompanied by two long bones. I set my fork down and was just done. No excuse to have bones in the fish especially when you are charging over $30 a plate for that fish. After sending it back, the server said sorry but still wasn't too concerned. She never sent a manager by to apologize or talk to us. Then guess who come walking by, Hugh. That's right, Hugh walks over to an empty table next to ours, moves one piece of silverware for literally no reason (its about 9:00 pm and nobody was sitting on this side of the room) and he has enough nerve to use it as an excuse to look at me. If we had never known Hugh's past we most likely would not have thought twice about this. But, we knew he came over just to see who the dissatisfied woman was. My husband and i both were watching him and it was very obvious. This was the moment that i said, OK. Were done Indigo Crow. My last opinion is the wait staff here consistently seems off. I can't put my finger on it but comparing to other restaurants in this price range the service is different. I wish the staff would change and the menu would update. Also, if Halibut is the "special" for the evening. Have somebody prepare and cook it correctly! read more

Staff was so friendly and the food was awesome. The bartenderess laura was super attentive and enjoyable to visit with. About 40 minutes out of the way but we'd come here again just for the great atmosphere. read more

Four of us had dinner this evening and found we were disappointed in the service, noise, food and over priced for what you get. We were seated inside and could not carry on a conversation due to the acoustics being so horrible. The noice inside was so load one could not hear the other one talk, not to mention we were sitting so close to other folks. The tables are just too close. We asked if we could move out on the patio. They were kind enough to move us outside. This was a little better however the noise level was still quite high . The flies were atrocious. The service was very slow but tolerable because we were in no hurry. I ordered salmon which was served on hominy, hominy of all things, along with vegetables consisting of four thumbnail sized pieces of squash. The hominy had to have been counted on one hand. As for the salmon, this was very good. We spent $175.00 including tip. This will be the last time for us. Too many other restaurants out there, not our favorite place...for sure! read more

I live locally and had only been to the Indigo Crow for lunches. I had a guest in from out of town and I suggested dinner there. To say I was shocked at the prices is not an exaggeration. I moved to NM 4 years ago from New York, Manhattan to be precise. I have eaten at some of the most exclusive places in NYC, to local in the neighborhood. For what the IC charged on their evening menu was exorbitant, not only that, but we had to remind our waiter several times of things he had forgotten to bring to the table. The beet salad was delicious but the steak was only so-so. I only ate a few bites and did not ask for a doggy bag. We sat in the patio by the wall and had to move our chairs around as the table and where we were trying to sit, was made difficult by the patio flagstones being uneven. We pointed this out to the waiter or simply agreed that the stones were uneven. In addition, the table furniture and chairs have seen better days. Now if I compare Vernons Speakeasy in ABQ to Indigo Crow, similar prices, there is simply no comparison to the quality of food, ambiance, and service. read more

Holy moly. I forgot how good the food is here. We decided to come for lunch on a Saturday. I had the BBQ brisket sandwich. It was tender, full of flavor and, well, perfect. My son had the sirloin sandwich. It was so good he kept saying over and over, "This is really good." My friend loved the fries too. An absolute gem. Excellent! read more

This was a first visit for lunch. We were seated on the back patio which is very pleasant. They have lovely paintings for sale hanging about the place--even in the bathrooms! We ordered the wedge salad with iceberg lettuce and roquefort, the chicken poblano sandwich, and the roast beef sandwich. Though we were seated immediately (we had a reservation), we waited awhile for the food to arrive and when it did, it was the sandwiches--the salad had somehow been forgotten. But the waiter immediately apologized and said he would comp us and then brought it right away which impressed us. The chicken poblano sandwhich was delicious--tender chicken breast with a deconstructed chile relleno on top in what seemed like homemade whole grain bread. The onion rings (so sweet) and the fries (they turned out to be curly fries) were fried to perfection, crunchy and well seasoned. The waiter helpfully recommended ordering half fries/half onion rings as the side instead of one or the other. My husband had opted for the black bean soup which was savory and spicy (just at his level of of tolerance) and his roast beef was also good. Ironically, the one disappointment was that wedge salad--the roquefort just didn't taste 'blue" enough. It had a lovely creamy texture but it could have been more piquant. But we didn't have to pay for it! I also liked the crisp and fragrant iced tea--it was steeped just right and they kept refiling without asking. I would definitely go back again. read more
