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.

I ordered the meatloaf and it used to be so good instead I got a piece of meat that was charred. You couldn't tell that it was a meatloaf and then they put this incredibly sweet gravy on top. I was so disappointed because I had talk so highly and one of my sisters did not want to go there.. because she mentioned that the food wasn't any good so I had to prove to them otherwise . What a disappointment! when the meatloaf got to the table. I looked at it and I told my sister's what is that? They all laughed and said that is your meatloaf.. so disappointing. I did try to get hold of Management but you call and they don't let you leave a message and I haven't been able to get hold of anybody there. now my sister won't let me live it down. She said see I told you it was no good. I did spend about $93 there and I bought two bottles of wine and that's about all that was good. One of the worst meatloaf I've ever had. Change the recipe is what I say.

I was invited to a special Holiday Celebration this year. I was really looking forward to attending…read morewith a good friend, but I had never heard of the venue or the location. Turned out, when I looked it up on a map app, I pass by Pasando Tiempo Winery Tasting Room on Alameda / Hwy 528 several times a month. I guess I need to learn to pay more attention. Some of the best places are right in front of you and you don't even see them. I think Pasando Tiempo Wine Tasting Room has been in this location for a year+ and I was just oblivious. Ugh. Think of all the opportunities I have missed. Never again. Nice, new building, but it would be easy to get it confused with the bank that shares the same location. It is a great location, but they need better signage for those of us with tunnel vision. They have an outside patio, but the weather was a little nippy when I was there - next Spring & Summer it will be pleasant and the view across the valley of the Sandia Mountains will be perfect. The Tasting Room is big and modern. with a separate room for special events. The tasting bar was longer than usual, but accommodated everyone who stepped up to order one of their great wines. I was given a taste of the "7 Briks". Oh my, it was delightful. Sweet, but too much. I generally don;t care for sweet wines, except for an after dinner drink . . . but the "7 Briks" was exceptional. Next time, if I can bring myself to do so, I will try their other wines. The NMHWC event was wonderful. The Pasando Tiempo staff were friendly and professional. The wine - - well the PT wine was like a cherry on the top of a great Holiday experience.

Finally! I finally took the time to stop by. I was the only person there, but don't take that as a…read morebad sign. Quite the opposite, I had 1:1 with Martha. She was happy and pleasant. The place was large, ceilings high and there was plenty of seating at the massive bar and various tables. In the warmer months when the NM wind is not blowing, the outdoor seating is cozy. I came in and sat at the bar. Martha did great explaining all the wines, suggested options I may like. She even convinced me to try their Chardonnay, which generally is not my first choice and actually turned out to be my favorite. Bought a bottle to take home. Chris came in while I was there, the "wine maker" even a sommelier. At this point I'm extra thankful that I'm the only one there. I started asking questions and he was so great! Explaining his love for each season of wine making, explaining how trying different wines was good, our palettes change, we talked about corks, and food pairings and how he doesn't make sweet wine and so much more, in fact so many wonderful topics about wine that I left knowing more than when I entered for a mid-afternoon tasting. I enjoyed his knowledge and honesty & thankful that Martha gave me Chardonnay to try. Sometimes we just have to step out of the box and while we may like a certain wine it's good to try others because like me, you'll enjoy something you didn't think you would. Get your friends and your loved ones or go it alone and visit their beautiful location for local wines and if wine isn't your thing, have a local distillery cocktail or a beer. If you're hungry get a charcuterie board. Friday and Saturday night there's music and food trucks. Extra parking in the dirt lot except when the Christmas trees are there. I'll be sure to return alone and with friends. Highly recommend. Thank you Chris and Martha for a wonderful afternoon.

The waitress took a long time to start taking our orders. To the point we all decided what we wanted. Then when she came she told us because our group was so large, they could not do mimosa flights. About 10 of the 15 people were all disappointed because that's what we literally went there for. The waitress was short with us and even when we asked for more water, she put two bottles down for the whole group. Which we went through quickly. The food was ok but the bar literally took almost 30 minutes to get the 4 mocktails to the table that were ordered. Overall it could have been just a bad day for them but I'm lucky I don't live in this city because I would never go back again.

Service was good and friendly. Flight can get creative and it's a nice space to relax and enjoy.read more

We had a reservation for 11:30am and arrived on time, but ended up waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no staff in sight. We called multiple times for assistance before anyone came out. To make matters worse, the friend who made the reservation was never informed that brunch is held in the private club and not the e restaurant, which caused unnecessary confusion right from the start. Once a waiter finally found us, we were taken to the private club where we were told they only had three brunch menu items available that day. We ordered immediately, along with waters and mimosas. Keep in mind, there were only two tables total--our group of three and another group of seven--so it wasn't busy. Despite that, service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes just to get our mimosas, and our waters were forgotten and didn't come out until another 10 minutes later. Our food took about 40 minutes, which felt excessive given how few people were there. Even more frustrating, my friends' meals came out about 10 minutes before mine. There's really no reason meals at the same table shouldn't be served together. The food itself was just okay. The only standout was the French toast, which was actually really good--and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star. I also ordered coffee and was told they don't carry creamer, which is surprising for a place offering brunch. Our waitress rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which added to the overall lack of service. Between the confusion, long wait times, and lack of attention, this experience didn't meet expectations. I won't be returning.

A Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers in Old Town…read more Stopped into Noisy Water Winery while walking around Old Town and it ended up being one of the highlights of the afternoon. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a really cool art-gallery vibe throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time sipping wine and browsing the local artwork. The wine selection was impressive--lots of unique New Mexico wines to choose from, and the tasting flights are a great way to try several different varieties. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations based on what we liked and explaining the wines without making it feel intimidating. We also tried a cheese board which paired perfectly with the wine and made the whole experience feel a little extra special. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun stop while exploring Old Town, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great wine, great vibe, and great service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.
