Elaine's - Albuquerque

Fantastic everywhere. beautiful and friendly staff. both at the front and back in the house extraordinary eating and service. we will return!

I hate to be the person who complains but our experience Friday night was awful. After being seated it took ten minutes before someone brought us water. The restaurant was about 40% full and it was another 10 minutes before our waiter appeared and took our drink order. We ordered a cheese plate appetizer that was ok. Would have been nice to know what we were eating, a server dropped it at our table with no explanation. When it was time to order we asked what the Chefs soup was (the only soup on the menu) and were told that they had run out. It was about 7:00. Who runs out of soup on a Friday night at 7:00?? Our waiter then went on and on about how good it was and how it was prepared. Why!?! We can’t have any!! As we ordered our main courses we were given a list of all the dishes they didn’t have that night which made ordering frustrating. It then took forever to get our food (about 50 minutes). When our food arrived it was clear that they were out of more ingredients than we had been told. Several substitutions had been made to our dishes making what we ordered entirely different from we expected. Instead of candied fruit in a salad they substituted steamed tomatoes. Instead of seasonal vegetables with my steak I got a pile of raw spinach. It was bizarre, cheap, and disappointing. Overall I’m not sure how they stay open. It was honestly the worst “fine dining” experience I’ve ever had and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Delicious food but cold literally) atmosphere ; servers were trying but food took FOREVER even the cheese tray and dessert. And no more mini sopapillas : seems like the management has changed for the worse

We were from out of town and had visited a couple of years ago and liked it very much but this time was a let down and we wont' return again. Sorry.

First time dinner. Waitstaff was delightful, knowledgeable of menu items and helpful. Beautiful presentation, ample portions and delicious. Had some to take home and while not as pretty just as tasty the next day.
