This place was horrible. I was so excited on the way there. It took forever for everything. My husband's dinner was cold. We sent it back and it came out a little bit warmer, but not much. The steak ceasar salad literally had 4 tiny pieces of meat on it. read more

Came here as part of our Valentines celebration. It's a cool place on the inside . My wife had the Schnitzel and I had the New York strip. We also had the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. The Brussels were very good. A little sticky because of the sweet glaze that was on it. So be careful if you have false teeth. My steak was ok , it didn't really have a lot of flavor and was a little fatty. My wife's schnitzel was very good tho. The service was top notch and I will definitely be going back here again. It's a great place for a date night or to just hang out with friends read more

It's been a hit n miss. Just had their chicken piccata. Chicken was dry n tough n an extremely small chicken cutlet portion for the price. The capers looked burnt n there was absolutely no sauce to dish. N the risotto ABSOLUTELY tasteless. It was just a glob of nothing. Sorry read more

Came to dinner at this Old Town restaurant in Albuquerque. It looks like it's pretty popular, as it became quite busy on a Thursday night. It has a very unique decor up front, with a river rock wall and two River Rock booths. I'm not sure how comfortable they are, but they sure look cool. There's a round bar up front and high top tables in the bar area. Walk a little further back into the dining room where there are standard tables. It also looks like there's another dining room toward the back but I didn't check that out. There's also patio seating in a big courtyard. It is a really lovely patio. Our server started us off with a sample of one of the red wines that comes from their winery. I don't usually like red wine very much, but I did love this wine and ordered a glass. They have a full bar and the other people in my party ordered cocktails. The server brought out some bread and butter to start is off. The menu has a little bit of everything for everyone - - there was some pasta, pot roast, fish, and even a burger. We ordered: *Rainbow trout with mango salsa, jasmine rice, and asparagus. Two of us ordered the trout, but I substituted my jasmine rice with mashed potatoes. *Country pot roast with mashed potatoes and brown gravy *Schnitzel with mashed potatoes and broccolini *Southwest meatloaf with mashed potatoes and The manager came to our table to see if everything was okay. I really appreciate when a manager does that. We had a really nice meal and a nice place and the price was very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

What a great place to stop and eat. We stayed over in a Best Western very close, even walking close. Food was excellent! I ordered the spicy glazed meatloaf with the best grilled veggies, mashed potatoes. They come by table with a wine sample too. Very nice atmosphere, but still casual dress. Nice outdoor patio area, that seemed popular. We loved it so much we ate here 2 nights in a row. Will be our new stop over traveling through. read more

Came here for a seminar-type dinner, so we got access to the private room. We were served just the general house salad and had several different entree options off of a special menu. So, I chose the pecan chicken (quite savory) with mashed potatoes and a mix of zucchini/ squash/onions on the side. Staff was very attentive as well and got food out quickly to our large group. I'd like to come back and try the brunch sometime. 2025 #32 read more

Came here to for dinner this weekend with a few friends! We were happy that we didn't have to wait long to be seated, especially because we didn't have reservations. Our server was friendly and attentive! The food selection was great, a ton of options on the menu from dinner salads, steaks, burgers and even a few pasta dishes. They have home style meals like pot roast and meatloaf, which apparently is a crowd favorite! So if you want a spot with some variety, look no further! Let's not forget their wines! Of course there's a plethora to choose from, but also there's a full bar as well as local brews on tap! Bring a date here, I can be more intimate or come with friends for a great dinner experience! read more

Lemme start by saying my meal was covered by a third party, so my review may be more harsh if I had to pay for this out of my own pocket. I was part of a party of 13 or 14. We had a great table in the center, plenty of space for us all. Customer service was great, our server was wonderful, food was brought out in a timely fashion and our bread and drinks were refilled when appropriate. Ambiance was not what I was expecting, but this is subjective. I think the live singer they had was great, but the noise made it really difficult to talk with each other or hear each other. If you're looking for a place like that, this is perfect. If you're looking for a place where you can easily converse and relax with people, this might not be the spot. That's where I take off one star. Now, onto the food. This is where I docked one start, possibly 2 if I had to pay with my own money. I ordered calamari ($18), the steak bearnaise ($45), and creme brulee ($8). I'm going to be perfectly honest: the only appropriately priced item of those is the creme brulee. It was delicious and great for the price. The other two... no. The calamari was fried well and appropriately seasoned but man, $18 is too high a price for that especially when I've seen other places offer way more for way less. And the steak bearnaise... wow. The menu had it described as "filet mignon medallions", which led me to believe there would be more than one. But there wasn't. Plus, there were only 3 shrimp. I'm sorry, but $45 is too high an asking price for the quantity and quality of food served in that picture. I will say the filet mignon medallion (singular) was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the shrimp were not over or undercooked. But I've gotten much more food for $45 at other steak houses, and those serve much higher quality steaks or higher quantities at a competitive price point compared to here. I doubt I'll be coming back here any time soon. Might be good for you if you are okay with the above caveats, but it's not somewhere I would return or try again. Stellar customer service would probably be the biggest plus here; otherwise, your money and time would be better spent elsewhere in my opinion. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining here during a trip to thee area and it was an excellent experience. From the moment we walked in, the fun vibe at the bar was inviting. The unique decor added to the atmosphere. For starters, we ordered the feta and hummus appetizer which was paired with our wine Chenin Blanc. Suggested on the menu. For the entrée, I ordered the green chili meatloaf, and it did not disappoint. The spice of the green chili was balanced beautifully with the rich, savory meatloaf, creating a flavor that was both comforting and exciting. To finish off the evening, we tried the bread pudding for dessert, and it was heavenly. Creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced, it was the ultimate comfort dessert and a sweet way to end a fantastic meal. If you're looking for a place with delicious food, a great atmosphere, and the charm of a bistro this is a must-visit! read more

Open table reservation made requesting a booth. Love the bar top at the front because the lighting is a little subdued for evenings than the back of the restaurant which is very lit up. Go to here is the reserve Syrah which is incredible, as well as the Cabernet Franc. The best thing on the menu is the meatloaf. I have tried just about everything expect the chef board. Would go just for the Syrah and meatloaf. read more

What a fantastic find! Stopped in for a quick bit to eat, and it was an amazing experience. A menu with so many wonder choices... much more than expected. This was a lunchtime visit, and it wasn't too crowded. Great service by Taylor. She went above and beyond to make sure our first time was pleasant and memorable. We already know we will return here next time we are in Albuquerque. Absolutely delicious food (some of the best I've had in NM)! Meatloaf, my meal of choice was bursting with flavor, well plated and presentable, and more than satisfying, even providing some leftovers. The ceviche was equally fantastic. It was a very hot day, so indoor dining was the way to go. It's lovely inside! The patio was so inviting, so next time, we plan to go when it's cooler or at least even hours and enjoy the ambiance. Yelp check in for free flight (4 options), 3 different wines, each 2oz...$12 value was the perfect compliment to the meal. read more

Came here to celebrate husband's birthday. I used OpenTable to get us a table and indicated that it will be for birthday celebration. I also noted that the it would be nice if the staff can help make my husband feel special. This is my experience, totally subjective: Upon arrival, there was no happy birthday from the staff at all. We were seated at a corner. The waiter checked our IDs when we ordered alcohol drinks but no happy birthday from the waiter. As the dinner was supposed to be for birthday celebration, I was disappointed that we got no acknowledgement from the staff. It might not be a big deal for many people, but it was just like a regular eat out for us without acknowledgement from restaurant staff, nothing special. Also, I wasn't sure if the restaurant was just too loud or the waiter talked so quietly. We couldn't understand what the waiter was saying many times and were asking "huh?" "Excuse me?" when the waiter approached us. I felt bad personally for doing it constantly, but truly, we couldn't hear the waiter. If you are looking for a more intimate setting to celebrate personal holidays, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. However, if it's for group celebration, it is a nice place. The food was good, drinks were delicious and priced fairly. Just the service could be better/more attention to details. read more

This restaurant has steadily declined over the last several years, with service now reaching truly memorable depths. It's a shame. Somewhere out there lies a brilliant, talented owner with outstanding culinary preparation abilities and a stupendous menu--making tonight especially tragic and surprising. In the last 3 visits here, I experienced the same sort of tepid / luke warm food (Mongolian beef). Tonight, I ordered the Mongolian beef. Seconds after starting the soup, a heavy-set lady comes and drops the Mongolian beef plate on the table. When I tried to tell her that I had just barely started eating the soup, she raced back to the kitchen, ignoring my trying to communicate. (And this was before the large groups came in en masse) Despite the waiter and i agreeing to delay the food until I finish the soup, this happened. So I asked the waiter to microwave the Mongolian beef and he took it away, warming it up slightly. From the start, it tasted as though it was prepared yesterday or hours ago and perhaps re heated, like leftovers. Yes I tasted it before sending it back. It was luke warm and non appetizing from the outset. After asking the server for butter and water, I waited 1/2 hour for either. Fifteen minutes into this time duration, I stood up and found another server, asking her for water and butter. She promised to get this immediately. It never came. Upon setting my credit card on the table... seconds later, my server comes and runs the bill. I asked him for water and butter and with no apologies or delay, he brings both. Once a large party was seated in his section, it was bye bye customer. Suggestions: don't order the Mongolian beef and take whatever you buy here to go. read more

Okay, so first off, if you want the short of it... order the pot roast. The long of it? I'm allergic to soy, gluten, and potato and the manager himself came out to make sure exactly what all was included in the allergy (even asked about lecithin). Then they offered me 3 choices that they could modify to suit my needs. I chose the pot roast and let me tell ya, I've been 3 times now and all 3 times I can't make myself want to choose anything other than that delicious pot roast. If you have soy allergens, leave the gravy off. If you have potato allergens, leave the potatoes off and order more of those delicious caramelized carrots (trust me, order extra, they are as awesome as the potroast is!). Wine flight: take it or leave it, honestly. I'm a sweeter wine person and didn't really care for the ones I tried. That being said, if you check in on yelp, you might get the flight for free, so... what's the harm in trying each time you go and find out what ones you actually like? ;) read more

Food had wonderful presentation. Service was good and they let you try the wine before ordering a glass of it. The salmon's was so good. Green chili Alfredo was my husband's favorite read more

We ate here last night. Interesting experience. We showed up about 5 minutes before our reservation and they took us to the tiniest table I might ever have eaten at. And I've traveled through Europe and eaten at some minuscule tables. Anyway, not sure why their tables for 2 are so small... the main dining room is quite large and it was about 2/3 full when we were seated, with multiple booths open. So, pro tip, if you come here, ask for a booth! We previewed the website before we came, and saw they had about a dozen cocktails, but the menus (including a large wine menu) didn't mention them. Hmmmm. No matter, I remembered a spicy margarita and the waitress was happy to order those for us. We also ordered an appetizer, a dip combo that had hummus and a whipped feta with lavender honey. I'm a dip/snacks girl and my husband usually jokes that I come to places for the snacks and usually get most of my entree to go. Accurate. Anyway, we got our drinks and ordered our entrees. Five minutes later, our appetizer showed up. This appetizer is DELICIOUS and I'd happily order it again to go (so everything isn't perched precariously on this tiny table): the pitas for dipping were warm and soft, the dips themselves were divine, and they also came with cucumbers, Greek olives, and huge red grapes. Everything I imagined and more. Until our entrees showed up literally five minutes later. You know how tiny our table is, right? And we had just started working on the dips, so those couldn't be taken away yet. So we played Jenga until we were able to get the entree plates on as well. I'm pretty easy going but I hate it when the entrees show up almost immediately after the app shows up. Ugh. Everything felt rushed. I got the honey Dijon chicken with mashed potatoes and my husband got Chicken Parmesan. And both entrees were fine. But we were trying to eat and not drop anything (because there was NO ROOM on the table) and so we ate and got to go boxes for the app and my entree and paid/left. All in, it was 38 minutes from entering the restaurant to getting back to our car. Not relaxing, not enjoyable, and just weird for a place that obviously pulls in a fairly loyal following. No points off for the food, but the hospitality could use a once-over. We might be back, but I won't push it over some other favorites, like Seasons and Savoy, who are similar in price point. They have the hospitality act much tighter than Lescombes. read more

Every time I come to Albuquerque, several colleagues I dine with regularly want to come here for dinner at least once. It's always very busy and loud. Locals seem to like it a lot and so reservations are recommended. Here's the good and the bad: Service here has always been good. The manager roams the floor making sure folks are happy. No problem splitting checks. The wines are largely very tasty but aggressively priced. You are better off buying by the bottle because you really take a hosing when buying by the glass. If you can't drink a bottle, you can take the unfinished portion with you. The food is usually good but we all agree it's much better at the Las Cruces location. Certain items are always good while others are hit or miss. I usually like the New Mexico style pasta, but this last weekend the chopped processed chicken breast was way overcooked and even hard. That makes me reticent about ordering it again. The Southwest meatloaf and the pot roast generally hit the spot, but we've noticed that the portions, never ample, have decreased in volume. Desserts are OK with crème brûlée being our favorite. Despite these minor complaints, we always enjoy our evening out here and so will continue to patronize this establishment. read more

Very disappointed. I ordered the pecan pesto pasta and added chicken and I could not taste any pesto. Absolutely zero taste of pesto. I didn't taste any pecan or see any pecan. It tasted just like Alfredo sauce despite there being a slightly green hue to the sauce. It was just a complete disappointment. My wife's dish was just as disappointing. It was the French chicken. The sauce was beyond salty. She took a few bites and we ended up throwing it in the trash. I'm sorry to dump on this restaurant, but with today's prices, I will not take a chance here again. I just won't do it. read more

This place strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The atmosphere is classy, and the service was fantastic. The food really impressed me, with the charcuterie and meatballs standing out as highlights. Seriously, order those meatballs. I liked the French onion soup too.

I was with a group of 8 on a Friday night with reservations at 7:00 pm. The ambiance was very nice with upscale decor. The polite, friendly, knowledgeable staff added to the excellent dining experience. The food quality was outstanding and the service was timely. The staff anticipated our needs and had answers to any questions. They all worked well together. I recall paying about $32.00 for an 8 ounce steak. (I don't recall the details to my order, sorry) Everyone in the group was very pleased with their meal and wine selection. I've experienced Lescombes a few times on different days and times. The food quality and overall service has been consistently excellent. read more

Great atmosphere and excellent service! Oh . . . and the food is GOOD! I've eaten here on a number of occasions and have always been pleased. My only complaint is too much food. Never have tried a dessert . . . no room. I always take leftovers home. And I always eat them. The wines I've tasted are good, but I admit I don't know too much about their wines. Someday I am going back and just have an appetizer and do a wine tasting (do they do that?). Once I get in the door it always smells so good that immediately my stomach tells me that I want one of their real meals, not some silly appetizer. And I never regret that choice. I always leave a happy camper. They are in a convenient location. Close to Old Town and, of course, you will be competing with the many tourists who have had enough of the traditional New Mexican food and just want some standard fare But don't kid yourself. they have dishes with chile - red & green. Pick carefully, if you aren't a chile afficionado . . . ask. We are in the land of spicy food. Spicy food comes with red or green. Ask for it on the side. Les Combes is worth at least one meal while you are in town for Balloon Fiesta or just to be a tourist. Tell them I sent you. read more

In spite of a busy New Year's Eve crowd, chef Javier provided four vegetarian meals (and one low-salt) for the Champagne Celebration dinner.

Fantastic ambiance and service! The food was very good (highly recommend the hummus and feta appetizer) and the server started us off with a complimentary wine sampling as well.

Very many positives! First of all we were seated promptly and even got a sample of a wine they were offering. Our food was served promptly and entrees were perfect! My only needs improvement was the eight dollar port brownie. It was very small, was hard (you couldn't barely chew it) in some areas and soft in others.
