The food is very good, but what we most enjoy is the pleasant atmosphere and the highly professional service. This is a place you can go for a meeting or a celebration and thoroughly relax. If you try it once, you'll be back again and agian.

I was not impressed by this bar. It was packed with people so close together that it was hard to even get to the restroom. This is not a place with dancing, it is just a place for all the local young people to go and stand around talking and drinking, but it is so overcrowded. Not to mention that the waitress was going to charge for 2 glasses of wine that tasted fermented, but then "graciously" removed them from the tab. The outside patio is nice but small and the restrooms were clean.

If you call a place Martini Grille than you better be able to make one heck of a martini - and I've never been disappointed with their martini cocktails. When it comes to the Grille part, though, I always thought the menu never quite jived with the swank atmosphere and fabulous cocktails. However, I've noticed in my 2 visits this past month that the food has been fantastic and they have begun offering really amazing specials and desserts. The steak quesadilla was delicious and the tequila lime marinated steak with mango and tomatilla salsa and a side of sweet potato mash was PHENOMENAL. I also split the creme brulee sampler with some girlfriends-- it looked too interesting to pass up with flavors like Jack Daniel's, Jasmine Green Tea (my fave), traditional vanilla and a chocolate Gran Marnier creme brulee. They did not disappoint. Nosey as I am, I got the scoop from our waitress: They hired a new chef from New York City and are going to be doing an overhaul of the menu (but keeping some of the faves like the fries of course!). I can't wait to go back and try another gourmet special and see what else this chef can do!
Pros: Live music and cool atmosphere, fabulous cocktail and terrific new chef!

When I was first told we were going to Zinc's, I wondered what kind of a place is called Zinc! When we walked in, I was just amazed! This place is beautiful and the atmosphere is very personal. We were seated upstairs. This is open so you can see all around you! I'm a Zin drinker and the wines were wonderful. Can you say Old Vine Zinfandel? This is a red Zin that is just great! We enjoyed an evening of wine tasting and good company. Next time I will be dining. The food looked and smelled top of the line!

Garduno's is the best restaurant for tourists and diners with a preference for mild/medium authentic new mexican food. Not for advanced taste buds, but a great place for beginner/intermediate connoisseurs. They have the best Mexican rice I've ever tasted - I've lived in Albuquerque 22 years and have only recently mastered their recipe for rice. It's outstanding! Wonderful atmosphere, good prices, peppy service, and great drink specials. It's an Albuquerque must-visit. Thank you, Garduno's for spreading the flavors of New Mexico around our nation! You make us proud!
Pros: great service, great drinks, kid friendly!

What can I say about the launch pad? Well, let me start by saying it is a great place to see a band you may have never heard of but will leave loving, and 1.50 pabst blue ribbons rule the night. It is truly a club worth checking out over and over again.
Pros: great live shows, Cheap drinks, lively atmosphere
Cons: Smokey, small bathrooms
