When we walked into the restaurant after our cool welcome from the front door guy, I almost felt uncomfortable because everyone was trying to be so quiet i guess? I don't like noisy restaurants but walking in wasn't a good impression. I think the experience itself is a cool concept for this tiny town, but food could be better. Much better for the price.

The Copper Lounge had incredibly unique cocktails and the service was unmatched. We sat at the bar and were so impressed by the cocktail menu - what a creative concept!

Not only did they work hard but they were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the spirits they were serving. We didn't try to food here, but several excellent cocktails that didn't disappoint! I hope for another trip back to ABQ so I can stop in and check out the latest inventive cocktails. Very much worth a visit!

"Delicious Italian in Nob Hill"…read more Came here on a Sunday night at 6:45pm. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Fortunately, they had nice couches outside, and the weather was great, so we were comfortable waiting until we got the text a table was ready. The restaurant is surprisingly large yet inviting, with a big round bar near the middle. We had a big lunch, so we ordered a smaller dinner. My girlfriend and I split the mista salad, the cacio e pepe arancini, and an eggplant parmesan. We had them bring it all out at once since it was already a bit late for us. The waitress was helpful, but the restaurant was very busy. The food came in maybe 15 minutes and was all absolutely outstanding. I loved the combo of the vinaigrette and feta flavor on the salad. So refreshing. The arancini came in a pecorino cream sauce that was absolutely to-die-for. I was rubbing those rice balls hard in that sauce before every bite. And the eggplant parm was a different take from cheap Italian places wherein it had less but more freshly flavored sauce, the coating was seasoned perfectly, and it came above good fresh linguini in mozzarella. The quantity was good, and the waitress nicely split the eggplant parm into two plates for us before serving, which was thoughtful. And price was excellent-- I think it was under $50 for everything even with tax. This was much better than virtually all of the Italian restaurants near where I live, and I would very happily come back any time. Highly recommend.

"Amazing view, good food, atop the Sandia Mountain Range"…read more Stopped by here after getting off the tram at 5:45pm on a Saturday night. Everyone should be sure to remember it's a LOT windier and chillier atop the mountain than at the bottom! The view is tremendous of all of the Albuquerque area on one side and a beautiful nature view (likely skiing slopes in winter) on the other. Lots of photos happening. We were there at sunset, but it was cloudy that evening unfortunately. We hopped in the casual side without a reservation and got a table for 2 with no wait, which was lovely. It was a nice environment with BIG windows. The food selection was good for casual but slightly nicer dining. My girlfriend and I each ordered the pear salad with chicken added, and we split the apple cider zeppoles dessert. We also got nice mocktails, but I confess I don't remember exactly what they were. Food came in maybe 15 minutes after ordering or so. The pear salad had EXCELLENT flavor. The pears were outstandingly seasoned, and the goat cheese and vinaigrette brought it all out. Sadly, the chicken was not great--it was just slices of rather bland grilled chicken tossed in. I ended up just powering through the chicken on its own and then enjoyed the salad a lot more for its flavor combo. The apple cider zeppoles were excellent, especially with the caramel sauce. I confess I'm not sure how we were supposed to eat it, though--it was like super crumby-covered donut holes that you'd dip, but we were not given any utensils, and even when I got a fork for each of us, they kinda fell apart when you tried to break them. Amazing taste but awkward construction. The mocktails were very tasty, but I was a little disappointed that mine had a ton of ice and not a whole lot to drink. Service was excellent--our server was very helpful and supportive throughout and checked on us often. Overall, a very good option for dinner, especially for a place that doesn't give a lot of options! Beware the return trip may take you a while since the lines get long for the tram. But if you're there, you'll have something great that you can enjoy!

I even took a few photos - which I rarely ever remember to do. (I will post them after this review is online.)
