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.

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.

The ambiance was exquisite despite the somewhat loud noise level. The decor and the service were both top notch. Our server Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty. He made our anniversary even more special with a free dessert, a coupon for a free wine flight on our next visit and a hand written list of recommended local attractions and eateries. 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. And the crème brûlée we had for dessert was delightfully creamy underneath a beautiful gold crust. We will definitely return and highly recommend DH Lescombes to anyone seeking fine but affordable dining in the Albuquerque area.

You probably don't want to sit there. It's one of those theaters that will bring you food while you watch the moving. The tables or bar where you place your food is dark. Like, use your flashlight to eat dark. I have a theater like this back home and I don't remember having to use my flashlight to eat. So, there's that. I started out leaning forward in my chair to eat then brought the bowl to my lap once I got comfortable eating. I ordered the chicken nuggets and fries. The fries were delicious! The chicken was hot & crunchy. It was good. Mom had a burger that she really enjoyed, but couldn't finish. We both agreed the fries were YUMMY! By the way they add 18% gratuity to your check unless you ask them not to. The theater itself is nice. I do think the sound system could be improved. It didn't sound like any type of surround sound, Dolby, or any of those things. That was lacking. It is a brewhouse and I did order a beer. I stuck with an IPA and it was typical of an IPA. Overall, it's an okay theater.

Everything was super delicious and the atmosphere and service were excellent. My break down of the food: -The tomato in caprese salad was bright and had a deep tomato flavor. Very nice quality balsamic vinegar, basil and EVOO. The flavor of the fresh mozzarella along with all the other ingredients created perfect bites. -The simplicity of the margherita pizza allowed the ingredients to shine. Great cheese pull! Crust and char were also perfect. -2 scoops of vanilla gelato was a sweet and tasty note that my meal ended on. The chocolate sugar cookies that topped the dessert was also very good-crisp on the outside but slightly chewy with just a hint of chocolate and not too sweet.

First: that view. Five floors up, city lights stretching out, not a cloud in the sky. The cocktails set the tone immediately. I ordered the Macaw -- unusual but very delicious in the most delighted way possible. My husband's specialty cocktail held its own right alongside it. I made it my mission to eat as locally as possible and Level 5 delivered completely. The Mole Poblano was extraordinary. My husband's duck dinner had him going moaning and groaning in pleasure. Our waitress was warm and wonderful, and finding out she had Pacific Northwest roots made us feel right at home from about 1,500 miles away. Level 5, you made our Valentine's Day genuinely unforgettable. Albuquerque, we'll absolutely be back.

This used to be a great go-to for an upscale but not fancy meal. Used to. So so sad. The pictures…read morelook good but the flavor was really lacking. The wings had lots of sauce but zero heat and questionable as to undercooked. My steak with truffle fries and broccolini were okay. The only thing that saved the plate were the fries. The steak needed salt and the broccolini was almost raw and needed salt; I can't remember the last time I've ever needed salt at a restaurant. The plate was swimming in oil that likely was a finishing oil since it still had that raw taste to it. My husband had the mussels that basically seemed like a large appetizer with nothing but the starter bread to add to it. There might have been garlic in there, but the fact he wasn't sure says enough. The server was attentive and very kind so that helped. Such a sad downfall for @farinaalto

Farina Alto is better than it was for a while there - for a while there (and if you're a longtime…read morecustomer, you know what I mean), I just refused to set foot in the place because nothing was going right. My wife meets a friend there for lunch every couple months, though, and she's been hectoring me to return, insisting it's better. And she's right: Farina Alto is better than it was. And - bearing in mind that it's about to re-brand as Pazzi now that the Keenes are out of it - management seems to _really_ care about how things are going - wow, but the service is fantastic these days. The food is better, too - not killing it the way the service was, but good. The wine list is actually really interesting for a place of this sort. And, while it's no longer the as inexpensive as when Farina Alto _first_ opened (covid and qualitative easement took care of that), the soon-to-be-Pazzi has MUCH more sensible pricing than the restaurant did a year ago - yes, the prices have gone _down_. And the food is better. And the wine is much better. And the service is FAR better. Weird, huh? I'm hoping to go back soon . . .

Went on a Thursday so the Tram and Dine option wasn't available. Figured we would take our chances. Initially, we got drinks to take onto the viewing deck. I guess I understand why everything has to be disposable plastic but I was still a little surprised. My wine glass was tiny. After the sun set, we went inside for dinner on the casual side. They were (still) busy so it took a while but we weren't in a hurry. The chicken parm was good. A solid 3.5 I did like the little kick to the sauce. The Munoz hero was also good. Hard to keep together but cool looking and tasty. It was an expensive evening once you add tram, drinks and food but worth it for a special celebration.

Attentive, professional, and did their job really well. The food? Even better. Everything came out cooked perfectly and tasted exactly like you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse. But here's where it went downhill. We made this reservation weeks in advance specifically for our anniversary, and it felt like none of that mattered. We were seated right in the middle of the restaurant, not exactly the vibe you want for a special occasion. On top of that, the table was set for four people, not two--which already made it feel impersonal. We even mentioned it to the hostess, and instead of fixing it or acknowledging it properly, she kind of brushed it off and started putting rose petals on the table while we were literally sitting down. That just made it worse. Like... wasn't that supposed to be done beforehand? It felt last-minute and forced, not thoughtful. For a place at this price point, you expect a little more attention to detail--especially when you've planned ahead for something important. Great food and great service can only go so far when the overall experience feels overlooked. Disappointed, because this could've easily been a 5-star night
