Extremely unassuming location. OMG this is a must stop if you want a dinner or even just a quick appetizer and cocktail. We ordered a shrimp cocktail and charcuterie board. The jams on the board were outstanding. Then we ordered French onion soup, Smoke Salmon Louie salad, filet and Kabobs. The Salmon salad was perfectly presented and the grern chilli ranch dressing is excellent. The kabobs came with veggie mixed side that was melt in your mouth and veggies were perfectly al dente. The filet with mushrooms and potatoes and jalapeño snap peas my husband did MOO YUM YUM. I am a French soup connoisseur and this has a wonderfully deep beef flavor. I give it 8 out of 10. Jacob is one of the best waiters I've had in a very long time. He is aware and perectly attentive. What a hidden gem. I wish we had one of these hidden in Shawnee Hills OH. read more

Friends from out of town found this place and we decided to share our first experience here. This place is near Old Town, quite unassuming from the outside. The decor includes multiple nice canvas prints of birds. Our server was initially friendly, but clearly had an issue when some of us ordered salads and declined alcohol beverages. While requesting his recommendation between two salads, his comment of "I would not order salad at a steak house" was quite rude. We ordered the spicy scallops, the bleu pear, and the hummus and feta for appetizers. The scallops were overcooked and chewy. The bleu pear did not go well with the bleu cheese. The hummus was ok. For our entrees, and to our server's dismay, we ordered the smoked salmon Louie salad, a Cobb salad, and the duck breast. All entrees took a long time to reach our tables. The salmon salad was smokey with crispy bacon, but it did not wow anyone. The Cobb salad had dry chicken. The duck breast was tepid and dry. Maybe the steaks were good, based on our server's passive aggressive comment, but if they can't manage to have good salads and duck breast on the menu, maybe they should eliminate them altogether. Overall this was not a good experience due to the service and the food quality. Definitely there are superior options for fine dining in Albuquerque. read more

5 star food & service. Will definitely return here. We arrived close to closing but they never made us feel rushed and made great recommendations and even dessert when it was late. Nice small cozy restaurant that is perfect for 2 to a small group. Make reservations if you want to be assured a table. You will make it a favorite. read more

My delightful dinner featured a perfectly cooked pork chop accompanied by potatoes au gratin, followed by a decadent crème brûlée for dessert. The pork chop was absolutely delectable. It was juicy and tender. Alongside the pork chop was a side of potatoes au gratin that was a creamy delight. Layers of thinly sliced potatoes were baked to golden brown with a rich, cheesy sauce that was both comforting and satisfying. The potatoes were cooked just right, tender enough to melt in your mouth but with a slight crispness from the gratin topping. Ending with the crème brûlée was a heavenly conclusion to the meal. The custard was smooth and velvety, with a delicate vanilla flavor that was complemented perfectly by the crisp caramelized sugar topping. The strawberry placed on top was the perfect addition for a burst of color and flavor. The ambiance for the restaurant was elegant, paired with exceptional service. Our waiter was very helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. This experience was little group of people certified. read more

Seared is so cute! It's tucked away between old town and downtown near the country club. The bar area is where I went, not the dining section. The bartender Dominic is super attentive, gives information about the food and drinks in a detailed way, and the owners are so caring about customers having a great experience. When I first went, I got the lamb and it is mouth watering just to think about it right now. The last time I went, I ordered the steak Diane which was also good. Their specials and happy hour deals are a CANNOT MISS. Highly recommend this place for anyone interested in a high quality experience! read more

I cannot recommend a restaurant in Albuquerque more. Other than the fried asparagus, everything I've had there has been good or amazing. The ambiance is just okay. One of their waiters is the best in Albuquerque and the others need a little work. So, for me, the food is what really matters and although it is pricy, it's one of my favorites and I go whenever I want a treat. read more

It's had to give a review on place that has so many good reviews. But this place was outstanding. The service was great. Thy food was amazing. We are looking forward to going back read more

The food was absolutely amazing albeit pricey. It had a great relaxed atmosphere to enjoy, so my aunt and I could chat while we ate without interruption. Our waiter, however, seemed a bit, snobby I guess. There was so much on the menu that we wanted to try, but neither of us have large appetites, so we decided to split a meal that had multiple options on it, so we could try a bit of everything. He looked at us like we were too poor to be eating there. It was very frustrating. The food is worth every penny, but the service is not! read more

We stumbled on this restaurant while staying in town. There were so many delicious options on the menu! We started with the French onion soup. It was a classic French style. Delicious. For entrees, I enjoyed the Ahi Tuna special and my husband had the Steak Au Poivre! Both were excellent! They have a nice wine selection and our bartender Dominick was great! read more

Went for NYE dinner last night. I made a reservation after I saw the menu posted on Facebook. They had a special holiday menu that had many interesting and good choices. Upon checking in, we were offered a table in the bar area or in the dining area. We chose the bar area as we like the cozy atmosphere there. We started with a solid Old Fashioned. We shared Jan's spicy scallops for an appetizer. The plate contained 4 perfectly cooked large scallops in an absolutely delicious spicy sauce with onions, mushrooms, and chilis. It was served with two pieces of toasted bread to sop up the great sauce. For mains, the shared the Duck Wellington and the Halibut cheeks Each entree came with a nice side salad. We both ordered the green Chile ranch which is housemade and has great flavor and a nice heat. The Wellington contained a large piece of medium rare duck served along side a blackberry jam and simply dressed greens. The pastry was golden brown and flaky. The dish was delicious. The second dish-halibut cheeks were served panko encrusted with lemon buerre blanc sauce, along with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The asparagus was perfectly cooked the mashed potatoes were creamy and absolutely delicious. The halibut cheeks were perhaps just a tad overcooked but nonetheless good. For dessert we ordered the seasonal cobbler which was apple cranberry with a biscochito cookie, instead of the traditional topping, with ice cream. The dessert took quite awhile to come out and our waitress apologized several times. We weren't concerned as we had nowhere else to be and this gave us a chance to have a breather between courses. The wait for the cobbler was well worth it. Thinly sliced apples with the skin which I always appreciate because it adds to the texture. There were plenty of cinnamon and warm spices that enrobed the apples. The biscochito cookie that topped the apples was hot and was a nice change of pace to make the dish more New Mexican. The cobbler was served piping hot with house made ice cream. The decaf coffee was very good as well. Nice and strong. We had excellent service and our waitress even provided me with a couple of recommendations for books to read. We have always had great meals and service at Seared. Will definitely be back and one of these days we will make it for lunch when it operates as Cheese and Coffee. read more

We went Tuesday night and had a wonderful.Called in for a reservation. Seated right away. Had the fried asparagus as an appetizer with the green chile each, highly recommend. I had the braised lamb shank pasta with mushroom ragu and my girlfriend had the salmon with the saffron risotto. The restaurant has a chill inside with great local art. I want to sit in the bar next time! read more

This place punches above its weight! Absolutely fantastic food, excellent service, cozy ambiance. The wine list was very good, and the waiter had some sommelier training. The ONLY complaint was our cocktails, we got the same thing, but they had noticeably different volumes and color, so that was weird. But that's literally the only thing one could complain about which didn't bother me enough to knock any points off for it. read more

What a Gem!!! My wife and I come often as it's my favorite place to get a steak or scallops. Food has always been amazing. I decided to hold a very important dinner with a large party.

My guests were more than satisfied! The chef is amazing!!! Go now!!! read more

The steaks were seared, but grossly undercooked for my taste. There were four of us dining together and three of us had the filet mignon. Two of us (me included) ordered our steaks medium well and they were brought to the table rare--the only part that was even a little cooked was the outside where it was seared. The "well-done" came medium. I sent mine back for more cooking and it came back with the surface where I had cut it seared, the remainder was still rare. My wife sent the "well-done" back and it did come back well done. Also the steak was not as tender as I expected a filet to be. Service was mostly efficient, if a little strange: the waiter took the men's orders before the women's and the wait staff (four people brought food or drinks to the table) kept passing things in front of the other diners instead of walking around the table. They never cleared my alcoholic beverage glass. It was noisy. We could hear each other fine at the table, but we could hear waiters talking at just about any other table as well. I don't know if it was because the waiters were standing, but many times it sounded like they were making an announcement for the whole restaurant. There were four acoustic tiles on the ceiling (we counted). They should invest in more. All-in-all quite disappointing. read more

It's our first time here and the food is amazing and we highly recommend you eating here. The service is fantastic and you will not be disappointed. We live in Norman Oklahoma but we will definitely eat here every single time we visit Albuquerque read more

I was part of a large party that recently dined at Seared. The positives were the cocktails, baked Brie, steak kabobs, filet, and duck. On the downside, the salads were not fresh. The salmon was a DISASTER for the four who ordered it. Every piece of salmon was mostly raw, and after being sent back they still came out very undercooked. The management did comp those entrees but their dinner was ruined. The waiter offered free dessert for those diners but never came back for their order. He was scarce to say the least. Lastly, my decaf coffee was served with Coffee-Mate instead of cream and was never refilled. Needless to say, I don't think any of us will be going back to Seared. read more

I live in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex where the population is greater than the entire state of New Mexico. We visit here two to three times a year. We look on Yelp for new restaurants and their reviews. Overall, what I consider a two-star restaurant in the DFW area, many here consider a five-star. This seems to be the case with Seared. Located in a strip mall next to a cannabis dispensary, we weren't sure we were in the correct location. When we entered Seared, there was an overwhelming pungent smell that flooded my wife's and my noses. Our server was Casper. Casper and two of the three appetizers is why we gave it two stars. It would have been lower without them. Encrusted Brie. Brie encrusted with roasted pine nuts, served with apples, sliced strawberries, rustic bread, with balsamic reduction. This was wonderful! A generous portion. Salt Spring Island Mussels. We loved these! Sopped up the butter, wine sauce with the bread that's provided. Excellent! We had the house salad. It was good. The woman wanted us to keep our fork and knife. Really? Take a look at the attached picture of their cutlery. It looks like a homeless shelter hand-me-down. The steak knifes were a joke. Fried Asparagus served with green chile ranch. This was a fail! The stems of the asparagus were shaved, but the woody part of the stalk was not trimmed. Trying to chew through this wasn't going to happen. Further biting into the stalk removed the fried coating from the asparagus. This lacked attention to detail. For the main entree my wife and I each had the Filet De Boeuf - Local grass-fed beef, roasted redskin potatoes and onions, asparagus, sautéed mushrooms, red wine-demi glaze reduction. We are good cooks and we eat out often. Without exaggeration, this was the worse demi glaze reduction we have EVER had. I sent it back. It wasn't eatable. Casper our server returned with a Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb Australian lamb with seasonal vegetables served with a red chile demi glaze to replace the Filet. Again, the demi glaze was not good. I gave up and took home the lamb for the dogs. The owner/chef came by and asked my thoughts on the evening. I told him it was a three out of five. I could see he was disappointed. He gets good reviews from folks who live here. When you live in a culinary rich area, like we do, this is an earned and honest review. I dropped it from three stars to two stars because they surcharge you if you use a credit card. Under the terms of agreement with Visa/Mastercard, you CANNOT surcharge a debit card; only a credit card. But I wasn't taking a chance. Taking credit cards is the cost of doing business. It encourages customers to spend more on that bottle of wine, entree, or dessert. If you are looking for a better restaurant, I encourage you to visit Lescombes at 901 Rio Grande NW or Antiquity at 112 Romero St NW in Old Town. Both of these restaurants provide impeccable food and service. Their cutlery matches and they take credit cards without a surcharge. I've written a review on them as well. Bon Appétit! read more

I was looking forward to eating here based on all the Yelp reviews I had read. Well, maybe we went on an "off" night? We called and made a reservation. Arrived a bit early, but they were able to seat us. We heard the specials and ordered 2 appetizers. One was the encrusted Brie - highly recommend. And the other was an ahi tuna special. Visually - it didn't look appetizing, but the flavors were delicious! I'm used to a pink color to my ahi tuna, but this was dark and murky looking. The tuna, visually, looked old. Like guacamole when it turns brown. It tasted good and we didn't get sick! So all good there lol We ordered our entrees: The ribeye and duck. It took over an hour for us to get our entrees so I'm assuming things were backed up in the kitchen. We watched as other tables, who came after us, received their food. The duck was pretty tough and not as tender as we would have hoped. I ordered a medium rare ribeye and got a medium well / medium steak. So our waiter was not interested in acknowledging me lol Idk how else to explain this. From the moment we arrived he was very focused on my boyfriend. I brushed it off until the waiter checked in after we got our entrees. The waiter asked my boyfriend how his entree was, got his answer, and turned away. The waiter didn't check in with me so I didn't get to tell him my steak was overcooked. He immediately turned his back and walked away after addressing my boyfriend lol I stared at my overcooked steak that I waited over an hour for and settled to eat it. $45 for an over cooked slightly tough piece of meat that was heavily salted. It was alright. Getting the check was a pain too. I had to ask the hostess to grab me a box for my overcooked steak. Our waiter, again, only acknowledged my boyfriend. Idk if I did something to offend him, but it was quite a bizarre dining experience. Slightly uncomfortable, but whatever... The appetizers were delicious and made us look forward to the entrees, but unfortunately the entrees were just okay. Nothing crave worthy. Again, visually the ahi tuna was off putting, but it did taste good. Food was decent and I think our waiter was having an off night maybe? Overall - 3 stars = A-OKAY. read more

If you are in the Albuquerque area, this is a must try. This past weekend we just happened to find this place on a recommendation from our hotel. First of all, the server made this an experience rather than just a meal. Thanks to Christopher for that. He was amazing! Then came the food. The bison short rib was perhaps one of the best things I've ever eaten. My son ordered the filet rare and it was cooked to perfection. Risotto was to die for as well. Being from Nashville, we have quite a few upscale restaurants and I can honestly say, this place is as good as any here. I will return the next time I'm in Albuquerque. read more

Husband & I celebrated an anniversary here. Started w/drinks. As most of their alcohols are local - the bartender came over to our table from the bar area and made great recommendations & the pours were generous. We started with duck confit egg rolls (2) that was super crispy, tasty & came with a nice dipping sauce. Then had the green chile chicken soup. Really spicy and very yummy. Ordered the cedar plank salmon w/risotto & some greens. Husband had ribeye with bone marrow, roasted brussel sprouts & some toast. Both entrees were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Ended with a berry crumble with ice cream. Was a perfect ending. Our wait person was okay. He read the specials from a notepad & didn't know how to pronounce everything, but was attentive enough. Parking on property, very close to our VRBO. read more

My first time in Albuquerque and I wanted a steak. Yelp suggested Seared and I. Wasn't. Disappointed. Christopher was our server and to say he was knowledgeable is an understatement. He knew the menu so well that he described several choices as though they were his favorites. I ordered the Filet de Boeuf and my companion had the Bison Short Ribs. Both of our entrees were wonderful. The bison fell off the bone and was a nice balance between meatiness and fattiness. My steak was tender and flavorful and I had it with the roasted corn. Where they really shine is the poached pear. I'll just say give it a chance . It's transformative. Overall, don't miss this place. From the salad to the bread to dessert this place is a keeper. read more

All around terrible experience. Went there for our one year anniversary and had to choose from a set valentines menu (250$) because our anniversary is the day before. which is expected. took an hour and a half to get our entrees. Waiter was all over the place didn't even bring us silverware. Didn't Light any of the candles. steak was literally raw and had zero flavor not even salt. the entire time it's freezing cold in the small eating lounge they have. DO NOT go here for a celebration or on a busy night you will be highly disappointed. The owner or manager nice old lady tried to compensate with the bill which was appreciated. But for a small set menu it shouldn't be that much chaos in a restaurant of that caliber. read more

My husband and I went to seared for our anniversary dinner last night. We had such a lovely experience. Each course was so delicious prepared! We started with the Salmon Crudo. Which was refreshing and unique. We always share a bottle of wine but truthfully we aren't aficionado's so we relied heavily on our waiter Christopher advice. He went through a few suggestion but ultimately we went for 8 years in the desert since we were celebrating our 8th anniversary. It was wonderful and paired perfectly with our choices for dinner. The Filet De Boeuf is one of the tastiest cuts of beef I have had in a long time! We ended the night with the a speciality pear dessert that Christopher recommended. So delicious!!! Seared is such a such a great spot that we plan to enjoy again and again! read more

We are staying in an adorable historic hotel around the corner, Monday nights restaurant openings looked a bit limited so we wound up going to Seared mostly due to limited options. The menu wasn't cheap, but the food looked pretty diverse and fairly priced. There was something there for everyone. Good burger options as well as some fine dining. Well I was blown away! Service was impeccable, the wine options truly delightful, and the food out of this world. Listen to your server, follow the recommendations. The staff knows what they are doing. This is not your average restaurant. The chef id top class, the staff friendly and highly capable. Sit down ask questions, and enjoy the ride. We did, and have zero regrets! read more

Excellent food is topped by truly great service at this fine dining but not stuffy restaurant right off historic Route 66. The real standout here was a special appetizer using ladyfingers(!), feta, apples, and bacon. It sounds weird but it was fantastic and unique. Meals include a soup or salad. The gaspacho was nice and spicy, and the Caesar salad was classic, but with the dressing on the side. The salmon and ribeye were both very good. The wine list is great, and really concentrates on the complex chewy reds that we love. Our server's wine knowledge was truly impressive, and he offered us a ton of great tips for visiting the area. read more

Shhhhhhh! It's a secret! My first time here. Dinner experience. Tucked away in a less traveled road just off of Old Town. The ambience is relaxed and unpretentious. Several nice pieces of art on the walls. Reservations by telephone, but it was a cinch, someone answered after 2 or 3 rings. Wait staff knowledgeable, and articulate (thanks Christopher) and sense of pride about the establishment emanated as he presented specials, options and suggestions. The food is outstanding. My dining companion and I started with a plate of mussels. Oh so tasty! For entrees we had beef Wellington, and scallops served over risotto that was infused with chili. We shared a piece of lemon cake, but as so often happens with my reviews, the cake was gone before I could take a photo. Prices are excellent: the quality matches the price. I describe it as a secret because it's tucked away and not visible from Central Avenue. One of Albuquerque's finest in my opinion. read more

Wow what an amazing meal. We started off with the Jan's Spicy Scallops. They were cooked absolutely perfectly and was served with a sun dried tomato and mushroom sauce that was fanatical. We then move to course two the French onion soup which was delicious. It reminded me of winters at home minus the portabella mushrooms and the beef short ribs meat but still absolutely delicious. Our entree was the special Beef Wellington which was also amazing but could have been over the top with horseradish sauce but even without it, we did not leave a single morsel. The German Chocolate, don't get me wrong is good but it is a chocolate cake with the pecan/coconut frosting on it, not a true German chocolate cake. It is still worth ordering. The only reason we had to subtract a star is because the bathrooms are in need of some minor attention. There is a build up of calcium carbonate that has accumulated some staining in one bathroom and in the other there is a slight mildew odor. read more

My weakness has always been SEXYFOOD & dining at Seared. Had to reunite with Seared since it has been awhile and boy was I smitten with pleasure. I started the evening off with their ridiculously amazing Scallops this dish had all the explosive components to get me tingling. Onward and upward I had to have the encrusted Brie which has been my favorite and it was so mouthwatering & comforting. Their loaded Charcuterie board was the best, quality meats & cheese to die for. Now you know your girl loves her Beef Welly so you know what I got!!! This personal size gem had character and was made exactly the way it should be, in fact I haven't seen one on any menu in Albuquerque regularly like Chef Alejandro does. He believes it's a must for his traditional American Bistro. Also tried their tantalizing Herb Crusted Rack of lamb this beautiful dish had my heart. I than sealed my evening with their Chocolate Pots de Crème. Yum Seared's culinary passion is to feed their guest with thoughtful, vibrant cuisine through signature dishes that evoke happiness and my tummy was so darn HAPPY! :) Reservations are highly recommended and if you want happy hour you can dine next door at the Seared Bistro Bar starting from 4-6 Tues-Friday, they have a Tapas/happy hour menu and you also order from the full menu.

I'm ready for the nasty grams with this review and I'm prepared to defend why this rating was given. I came in this evening with two other guests (Thing One and a friend). We ordered two appetizers and three entrees. Appetizer One- Spicy Hummus platter. This platter had carrots, cucumbers, chips, pitta squares and hummus. The hummus was tasty but not the best hummus I've tasted. Appetizer Two- Chips and Salsa. The chips were stale or had been left out too long. Either way, they weren't up to par. The salsa for this app. had a little bit of kick to it and was nicely done. Apple wood Burger- Thing One ordered this item and it was made well as he requested however it was brought to the table without the bacon that was asked for. Thing one asked the waiter about this to which the waiter replied "Oh, you order bacon" ? Thing One then noted "Yes, I did when you repeated the order you knew I asked for it because you read the order back to me". Pan Seared Salmon- I ordered this menu item. The fish was raw when it was sent to the table and therefore, I sent it back. Once a new piece of fish was returned to me, it was raw yet again. At this juncture, I advised the waiter to strike that from my bill as I didn't feel like waiting a third time to be served raw fish again. While raw fish may not be a big deal to some, but here's a little fun fact...raw fish can KILL you just like raw chicken. In addition, as evidenced by both photos of this menu item, the presented fish were different sized cuts. But why though? Each dish of the same name on any given menu should be prepared the same unless it is specifically requested to be changed by the consumer (which I did not). Entree Three- Steak. This is the only entree that came out right as it wasn't missing anything nor was it under or over cooked. Overall the service was mediocre at best and the food was not up to par. I'm not sure why the waiter didn't ask the manager to have our entire meal comped. That would have been the right thing to do in a situation such as this. I rarely give one-star reviews, but this place barely receives a 1.2. I'm feeling rather generous today so you're welcome for a second star that you clearly don't deserve Seared. I shall never return. read more

Excellent food and service. Nicholas was our server, who did an awesome job. No rushing through courses to turn the table or anything like that. Great appetizers, mains, wine and desserts! The only thing a bit off was that our appetizers (there were three of us) were brought out one at a time... as in the second was brought out after one person finished theirs... the third brought out after the second person finished his...just seemed like a timing thing. But it all got ironed out by the time main courses were brought, so no big deal. Like most restaurants today, since there are no soft surfaces (e.g., drapes, carpet, upholstery, etc. to absorb sound) it's quite noisy. But I guess that's just how things are now. Otherwise and overall, a great experience. read more

Christopher is the best waiter in Albuquerque. You wouldn't think scallops would be good in the desert, but they are here. Ask for the bread! The duck confit butter is quite a great complement to the toasted bread. They recommend the poached pear dessert, but I went with the Lemon Leche cake. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I arrived in NM mid afternoon and were famished for a good meal. We were looking for more non-Mexican type food restaurant and saw Seared Bistro was walkable. It was by far the best meal either of us have had in a very long time. We each had a filet. They were cooked to perfection - I like mine rare, my husband is med-rare - with the mushroom risotto and a side salad. The meal came with a vegetable "slaw" which was broccoli mustard medley and it was such an explosion of flavor in the mouth it was a "how could this meal get any better" surprise. Micah was our server and again, I have to say, we received 100% excellent service; attentive without hovering, pointing out the specials and serving our ice cold non-alcoholic beer in chilled glasses. It was a solid 6 stars if there was such a thing. I will be in town for a conference for 6 nights and I can guarantee I'll be going back there. Absolutely outstanding. read more
