Whether you're into history, culture, outdoor adventures or just in need of some new and unique scenery, Albuquerque offers exciting attractions for all ages and interests, anytime of the year. In the historic section of Old Town, ancient Indian and Spanish cultures come to life through old churches, quaint shops and piazzas, winding brick paths and adobe benches. Browsers can spend a whole day making their way through the more than 100 stores, boutiques and galleries that sell Southwestern goods as well as unique products from around the world. During the winter holiday season, Old Town is adorned with small lit candles and thousands come to stroll through the streets, listen to live music and celebrate. It is truly a sight to see.

My husband and I had high hopes for our dinner here, based on the reviews & recommendations. Alas, everything was ordinary at best, except for the prices. Our salads were cold and directly from the fridge, with little or no taste. My vinaigrette had way too much vinegar - mouth pucker acidic. Our entrees were somewhat disastrous. My husband ordered his $40 steak medium well. It came medium rare. It was taken back & cooked more, but it wasn't seared - it was sort of a gray color on the outside. My scallops with jalapenos were rubbery instead of melt-in-your-mouth (which I expect with well-cooked scallops) and if there were jalapenos I certainly didn't taste them. My rice was chewy and my husbands potatoes cooked unevenly - some burned, others undercooked. At a minimum you expect a steakhouse to be able to properly cook a steak, but don't expect that here. The price of the dinner - $150 - made this very ordinary dinner memorable - and not in a good way.

New American Fine Dining Restaurant in the Heart of Downtown Albuquerque Where Craft Cocktails Meet Creative Cuisine

Artichoke was recommended to us by the staff at Parq Central Hotel. We love great food and were so excited we were able to walk in and get a table. We sat in what they refer to as the lounge, but to us it was the bar area. Such a lovely space, complete with the walls adorned with art by local artists. The bar created a lovely ambiance and we found the waitstaff super friendly. I chose to eat pumpkin ravioli which was served with a burnt butter sauce and hazelnuts! It was truly divine! We had a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir, and again our waiter was great helping us with the wine choices. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Monday to Friday 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. expect delicious appetizers at surprising prices, along with some select drinks in the upstairs bar and balcony. I dropped in at 4:15. Loads of friendly, attentive staff and fast service. Easy parking in their free garage. The upstairs is somewhat upscale, great after a hard day in the office.
