You know it's good when the food makes you happy . If your looking for good seafood and good steak. This is your spot. Great service as well. The Australian lobster tail was superb and the king crab legs were cooked perfectly. Had the fresh crab cakes, they literally made me smile they were crispy and light and just perfect. Haven't had them like that since I was in New York as a child. Thank you for such a wonderful experience

Hey, I haven't been to a nice place in Albuquerque in a long time. Clean curtious hospitality with some top notch food. The waitress Tasha was an excellent server. You know I lived here forever and didn't know how nice of a place this was.

The combination of apps was a delightful platter. We enjoyed a prime rib medium rare.

My wife and I ate here for a friend’s birthday. The food was good. I had the ribeye and it was cooked to a perfect medium rare. My wife had the shrimp and bacon wrapped scallops. She really enjoyed the shrimp; however, she found she scallops to be quite chewy. The drinks were also very good. The best part of the whole experience was our server. Shaun is the absolute best. He knew everything about the menu and was on top of anything we needed. As for him if you want an outstanding dining experience.

Excellent food. Great service. large portions. Indoor or outdoor tables. Prime rib cooked to perfection My favorite- Mussels and coconut shrimp, delicious as always! Nothing fancy just a really great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Delicious! I really enjoyed their salmon dinner and the huge salad that you get in a large bowl when you have a party of 4 or more. The blue cheese dressing is very good. I also liked the roasted garlic cloves that they give you with the bread. My husband had the coconut shrimp and really enjoyed them with the sauce provided. Happy hour is served only in the bar area. Seems like everyone who goes there is a regular and knows the wait staff. They have a vegetarian plate on the online menu but not on the printed menu but they will accommodate you if you ask. Oh and the grilled artichoke appetizer is very very good.

This was my first visit. I received a high recommendation from an acquaintance. The atmosphere was cozy. I celebrated my birthday and treated myself. From the appetizer calamari to my entree NY strip, bacon wrapped in scallops two jumbo scallops in both. The bread was hot out of the oven with fresh garlic and butter. Delicious! The loaded baked potato was huge! Steak med well cooked to perfection. Salad yummy and I loved the green onions in it. The dessert was a gigantic slice of chocolate mousse ice cream cake. My Bahama Mama was made to perfection I asked for very light ice and that's what I received. Everything was absolutely great! My server Desiree was outstanding!

The food was great! We had a large group and it was a busy night. Our server was amazing to keep it all straight. We had everything from ribeye steaks, shrimp, salmon and fish and chips. It was all perfectly cooked and delicious! There were no complaints about the food or service from anyone at the table. This is a fantastic place to eat and I would definitely eat there again!
