The baked brie I thought was very enjoyable and the filet was as well. I could have done without the contrived entrance lecture about house rules and being threatened with a baseball bat by some guy named 'potato ' or similar. The first table we were shown was in a back room, brightly lit under a spot light. Only after begging for a cuter, dark table in the main room (of which there were plenty) did we get one. I don't know what stung them about us... otherwise service was fine, maybe a bit overbearing. Of note, the entrance is by the black and white Al Capone wall mural; something to know because there is no other sign as to where this place is.

Had the jungle bird, which was properly bitter if you're into that. The marikoriko was sweet and fruity, way easy to drink. The Saturn was also wonderfully fruity and easy to drink. I didn't bother with the mai tai because they use kraken instead of an actual funky Caribbean rum, which is wild because they carry Meyers. Probably my biggest critique is to funkify that Mai Tai yo! Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot! Would return again.

Overall: Dorothea has decent food but there are definitely better restaurants in Albuquerque. What…read moresets it apart is the ambiance. Food: 3.5 We ordered just about appetizer on the menu. My favorite were the little neck clams, lamb lollipop, and Greek plate. The Saganaki, crab stack, and tiropita were just okay. Lamb Shank: This was one of the best entrees ordered. The meat was fall apart tender and flavorful. The orzo was a little watery but was cooked to the correct doneness. Branzino: I assumed that this would be a whole branzino fish but they had already taken it apart which was nice. However, there were a couple of bones that were missed. Crab Mac: This was cheesy and very good. My only grip is that the pasta was a little overcooked. Service: 5 The servers were patient with all the questions and orders from a big group. They did not make any mistakes and food came out at good intervals. Ambiance: 5 The restaurant would be perfect for a date night. It wasn't too noisy and offered a little privacy between tables.

I wished it was the actual artichoke, missing those being from California. I got the whole branzino with the lemon caper butter and broccolini and it was very good. Flavorful, cooked well and good portions of both. My guy got the lamb shank with tzatziki and lobster mac n cheese. Both were great. He was disappointed that the lobster wasn't mixed in the potatoes, but I thought it was better that way so it wasn't over cooked. For dessert we ordered the vanilla cake with orange marmalade. The cake was warm and had a bruleed crust under whipped creme. Was very nice end to the meal. The ambiance was nice, fancier than what I was expecting. The waitress was great and the guy filling up my water was killing it! The room we were in just to the left of the entrance had some weird acoustics, made it hard to hear my guy sitting right next to me.

I had high hopes for brunch at Casa Rondeña Winery, but unfortunately this was a disappointing…read moreexperience overall. 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.

My family came for a birthday dinner. We ordered mostly steaks, but I had a salmon with mango salsa and mashed potatoes. My dish was awful. NO FLAVOR, small portions too. The salmon was basically grilled with no salt or pepper with random mango salsa with also no flavor. It tasted like char and not anything else. The mashed potatoes tasted so off, like someone used fake milk or powdered milk? Did not enjoy my dish in it's entirety. The waitress was nice, but nothing more. Since they were about to close I didn't bother to ask for another plate which probably would taste the same. For the prices they charge, it should match with quality but unfortunately did not. The snackbar food would have been waaaay more flavorful. Spend your money elsewhere!
