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.

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!

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.

We live in Austin and travel everywhere. It is not often that by chance we find a restaurant that has all the right ingredients. The food was great, sliced tenderloin and the salmon. They had our favorite wine, Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc at only $26! Brian the waiter was attentive and informed. He suggested we try the Cellar after dinner. Easy listening jazz, "Midnight Creepers", great service again even though it was very busy. The owner dropped by during dinner to check on our experience. Thank you, Kevin, it was great!
Pros: Super Food, Service, and Music
Cons: We don't live there!

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!

I had previously posted a review about Stoneface before about how smoky and loud it was and since the new smoking ban and we have been in twice since it went into effect and it is MUCH better! They have enforced the no-smoking and the bar is much better. The food is GREAT and they have a great selection on the menu. The volleyball outside is awesome and the outside bar area is great too! There is always a nice mix of people. Good job Stoneface.
Pros: Location, Football, No Smoking
Cons: some servers could be better
