Holy moly this place was incredible! Lots of thoughtful curation has gone into not only the food and it's presentation, but also the ambience and the staff. I am a mermaid at heart so of course the seashell theme was on point. I was on a solo date and the patio was a sweet place to sit outside under string lights and enjoy the views of the mountains in the background. I love to try new things so I was delighted they had an oystertini (yep you guessed it, a martini with an oyster in it!) The lions mane mushrooms were to die for. Insane flavor and texture. The salmon was cooked " medium" which I've never really had before, and it was so palatable and luxurious. Nothing worse than overcooked fish ha ha. Dominic was my server and he was especially attentive and sweet and conversational. Great energy. The rest of the staff had a similar vibe. 10 out of 10 would love to come back. One thing to note: the food is very RICH with a lot of oils, kind of like French food, so next time I wouldn't order as many heavy items (my fault not theirs !) and I would pair it with some lighter faire they offer such as one of their salads. Overall, such a treat. read more

LURE - Lions mane mushrooms. Whatever sauce/spices they use should win an award. The texture is so dreamy. Highly highly recommend.! - Seafood Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place is a cute, little oyster bar located inside of the former Yanni's bar. I came here with a friend and his family for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, they didn't ask us if we had a special occasion we were celebrating, but overall the service was great. The ambiance was pretty nice and there is a back patio that has a few tables. They have a large array of oysters from the east coast and west coast. The oysters and the way they served and prepared were good. They do have raw clams also which I thought strange, but I'm probably just not fancy enough. We ordered a few appetizers including green chili hush puppies which seemed to need a little more Smokey green chili flavor and they were a bit dry. The lobster deviled eggs are sort of tart and flavorless and I didn't get any lobster on mine. My friend said the lobster rolls were good, and I had a salmon special that was out of this world delicious and cooked to perfection!! The red curry mussels were also outstanding!! Could use a bit more spice and salt, but really good. One of the kiddos didn't want raw food, but he also couldn't find much on the menu for kids. They were out of what he ordered and when they finally did get his order, his food came out about 15 minutes after the rest of the table. They did comp out appetizers so that was nice, but in my opinion they should have comped his meal since they didn't have what he wanted and then served him so much later. Their alcoholic fancy beverages were great. I had a glass of wine that was good. I would suggest offering more wines and meals from the adjacent wine bar and restaurant to Lure as well. They have a few kinks to work out, but I think they are on the right track. There is no phone so it's very difficult to make a reservation. I recommend visiting this place and trying some of their food during off hours. I'm not sure I'd recommend their appetizers yet, but with a few tweaks they will improve. Cheers! read more

I came in for a Sunday lunch. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, the waiter seemed to be very well informed about all the seafood Lure has flown in. The cocktail I got had a popping boba garnish in an oyster shell that was adorable and fun to eat and the stone crab claws and lobster roll were delicious. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. It's a true gem for a desert like Albuquerque. I ordered a lore platter which consisted of oysters, prawns, tartar, and mussels. The taste was superb. I ordered a Michelada cocktail, which was equally delicious. The lobster deviled eggs were fantastic. My wife isn't really a seafood fan so she ordered a green chile smash burger. She enjoyed hers greatly as well. Our server was very attentive and eager to ensure we had a great meal experience. Will definitely go back. The only needs improvement I see is I would've liked to have had a bloody Mary and that wasn't one of the listed items on the cocktail menu. read more

Best oysters I've had in New Mexico and delicious drinks very friendly waiters as well!

Lure is very clean, bright and welcoming. We took seats at the bar so we could enjoy all of the oyster shucking and plating. We had just been in the NE and Canada and were having oyster and lobster roll withdrawals, so Lure helped us out and did not disappoint. We ordered a dozen oysters, two of each of the six varieties on offer, and the lobster roll sampler, three varieties: Connecticut, Maine and NM. I think we liked the Maine best, but all were delicious and perfect for sharing. Everything was delicious and very fresh! The oysters were served with horseradish, beet horseradish and cocktail sauce, along with some lemon and vinegar. Besides the delicious food options, there are many great wine, beer and cocktail choices. In the seafood spirit, I chose a delicious vodka oyster shot (YUM) and then an oystertini, also delicious. My friend chose a Mexican lager with she loved. The service was friendly and attentive, but not overwhelming; it was perfect. We will definitely return! A new Pearl for Albuquerque! read more

A rare find here in Abq; exceptional and extremely fresh seafood. I cannot express how amazing this little oyster bar is. From the friendly, ready to explain to oysters staff, to the super fresh menu everything was more than great. We ordered more food than we could handle but couldn't help but finish everything. Some stars to point out (other than the delicious oysters) were the oyster shooters, lobster rolls, hush puppies, and the specials. It truly felt like you are on a vacation somewhere else because of the ambiance. In this little hidden nook, and with a little luck, you might even catch the chef working the bar or maybe some Olympia oysters. read more

Great service and fresh seafood in the desert, what's not to like? Started off with 8 fresh shucked oysters, all were impeccable and they had 2 different mignonettes that complimented them perfectly. Then the lobster deviled eggs, really fun and elegant take on a favorite of mine. We then had the lobster rolls, Maine style. Juicy with butter, lobster was fresh and succulent, no complaints here, almost like the ones we got in Boston. My wife said the oystertini was weird, but great overall . We will be back! read more

Food and service were excellent! The presentation was also great! All the seafood was fresh too, which is hard to find in NM.

I AM SO HAPPY! Fresh, raw oysters in the 505, provided by a 'BURQUEÑO! Lovely selection of cold water oysters and seafood right here at home! This was our first time here and it ROCKED! I almost hate to post this because other people might start coming lol. The environment is just beautiful, truly. The service is lovely. And they have an outdoor patio year-round which is huge. I couldn't be happier. What a lovely experience. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing seafood in ABQ! So glad for a good raw bar slingin' shucks with incredibly fresh seafood. We had the medium platter and it was more than enough for two of us. Mignonette was amazing using their winery's Cab Vin, and all the sides were perfect with the meal! Service was prompt and kind, and the decor is warm and inviting! We will be dining here often read more

AMAZING!!! Stopped here after seeing all the hype and stalking the business online and I was not disappointed- GREAT service, WONDERFUL seafood and cocktails! The space is smaller than I expected and I like that, it feels intimate and allows you to interact with the staff personally. I enjoyed an oystertini and the chef chose my oysters based on my taste, he was spot on. The mignonette is made with wine one of the owners makes and it was perfection!! I can't wait to return for another treat! read more

We finally got a chance to try Lure Raw Bar and absolutely loved it! We sat at the bar after being welcomed in by the owner, Seth, who helped educate us on the oyster choices and specials. We tried one of every oyster and loved the homemade sauces available. The Bottle Rocket oysters were our favorite of the five available! We then tried the octopus special and the lobster roll trio. The octopus was the best we've ever had! Cooked twice and had perfect texture and flavor. The lobster rolls were great especially with the house made Dijon mayo. We tried a couple house cocktails and Joe tried one of their oyster shooters which was Bloody Mary style with vodka and delicious! Seth even let us try chilled mussels with the house Dijon mayo and it was incredible! 10/10 experience from the food to the service. Can't wait to go back. read more

It's about time Albuquerque got a raw bar! Flown in fresh from MA & WA, this fantastic addition to Nob Hill has something for everyone ranging from caviar to oysters by the piece. The small and vibey space, with friendly staff feels like you are in a big city on the coast. Grab a friend and go support this local business. read more

Went for opening night with my boyfriend and had an alluring night. Albuquerque needs more places like Lure, that have a creative twist on a delicacy you can only get hundreds of miles away. The prawns and the oysters were amazing and fresh. Hannah, our server, was amazing and attentive and gave great recommendations. We will definitely go back! read more

So happy to have a raw bar in ABQ! I was so excited and they did not disappoint! Everyone was nice and welcoming and the place itself is cozy. I started off with their Lochness cocktail--very refreshing! Then I had the lobster deviled eggs, the hook platter and fried calamari. All of it was fantastic! Hannah was amazing. She was very attentive and didn't hover which is important to me when I eat out, lol! I'll definitely be a frequent flyer. 10's all across the board! read more

The oysters were super fresh and a great variety. The service was also phenomenal. I enjoyed my Saturday lunch immensely!

Was the best fresh sea food I've had in NM!!! Service is amazing and will definitely be coming back soon!

Got there early, before it filled up, and had a nice patio seat. Our server Dominic had great recommendations on drinks and did a great job of educating this oyster novice on selection. The oysters were wonderful, and entrees had great flavor and perfect portions for us. Will definitely be back. read more

Fast friendly service. However $32 for ~4oz of lobster on 3 sliders. Tasty but mostly bread. Okra was slimy, prawn cocktail was no frills very plain. Overall not for me but worth a try if you're into raw seafood bar. read more
