    Amazing! 4940 is a simply amazing! Visited for Sat night reservation... suggest you make reservations as the dining room is quite intimate, I want to say only seating about 10 tables at a time. They have an outdoor patio as well a lounge area where we sat for cocktails while waiting for our table. The place is very well designed and decorated, upscale decor with great color choices. I love the tile used in the bar and the restaurant just feels super classy! The wait staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and diligent in explaining each dish; their words made us want to try more and more! Table for 4, we tried a bit of everything starting with apps and salads, all perfectly seasoned and dressed; super fresh and absolutely lovely! Also decided to try all different mains and every plate was superb! The kitchen was also accommodating of a dairy allergy altho no dairy free option for dessert which was a bummer. Tried two dessert choices and both were delicious... adult after dinner drinks and coffee yummy too! They offer brunch on Sundays with an equally amazing menu so will definitely return soon for that! One tip... every plate is prepared fresh upon order so don't be in a hurry as it does take some time between courses. We actually wanted to take our time and visit so this worked well for us. Great food, great wine, great atmosphere and overall great experience in the quaint village of Corrales!

    Christmas breakfast burrito
    Mari K.

    I've reviewed dinner but need to review brunch! This brunch was an absolute triumph! I was thrilled to hear that they had just debuted a new brunch menu (not because it wasn't already perfect before, but while some restaurants fail on change, Restaurant Forty Nine Forty thrives). The breakfast burrito with red and green chile was a revelation. The red chile itself was a masterpiece, coming dangerously close to rivaling my mom's (and hers is the gold standard!). The combination of ground beef, potatoes, and eggs was perfectly balanced. The blue corn piñon pancakes were a work of art and bursting with flavor. The maple syrup and fresh berry jam were the cherry on top. I can't wait to bring my dad here, as these are his ultimate breakfast goal. The pineapple mimosa was expertly crafted, exactly to my liking. The service was amazing, as always, and the atmosphere was perfect. Overall, it was an incredible brunch experience. We are so lucky to have such a gem in Corrales. I declare it the best restaurant in Albuquerque and its suburbs.

    This was our third attempt at fine dining in Albuquerque, and we finally found a winner at Forty Nine Forty. The food was delicious, and it's quite clear that the chef has a point of view, as every dish was both layered with flavor and balanced. The staff was also quite attentive and considerate. Our waiter was so enamored with the beet soup special that I decided to give it a try even though I'm not a huge fan of beets. It was indeed delicious with unexpected flavors of umami from the egg and heat from the horseradish. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu.

    Limoncello tiramisu and chocolate cake

    I searched for a place that I had not been before and this came up as an option through searching here on yelp. All I can say is wow. We originally came here for Sunday brunch with my husband and my mother-in-law. We had wonderful food and a very great waiter. I had the blue corn cake which comes with bacon and two perfectly poached eggs, which was super yummy. We also got the bread basket, which had one biscuit, one cheddar green chile biscuit, and one lemon poppyseed scone. We greatly enjoyed those and split them equally. My mother-in-law had the lemon ricotta pancakes, which were just gorgeous and light and very tasty. She also got a side of the Wagyu beef sausage, which is just insane and wonderful. My husband got the traditional breakfast which came with eggs, beans, potatoes, the Wagyu, beef sausage, and toast. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The space that this restaurant is in is really cute as well. The dining area is cozy and eclectic. There's outside seating and you can also sit inside the market which has a whole bunch of neat food items to buy as well as some lovely glass pitchers and baskets and a whole bunch of fun things. We also came for dinner just this past Friday night and enjoyed the summer menu that goes until the end of September. We had a lovely bottle of Malbec and I had the heirloom tomato salad which was two die for with fresh heirloom tomatoes, and butter lettuce from just down the road. My husband had the wedge salad and really enjoyed it. For dinner my husband had the. SMOKED CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF PICANHA, which he enjoyed quite a lot. And I had the RICOTTA MUSHROOM TORTELLINI that was so fresh and wonderful. I wanted to eat it a second time. We also went ahead and ordered two of the daily housemade desserts. One was a chocolate cake that they described as mahogany and was just phenomenal. It had a chocolate butter finish that was so delicious I almost bought a second one to take home (should have). We also had the limoncello tiramisu, which was bright and tangy and super good. Our waiter, Kyle, was kind, talkative and very helpful with menu items and selecting the wine. He also told some funny jokes. He was kind enough to introduce himself at the end of the meal and shake both our hands. We felt important and that it made a difference that we were there. I'm so happy to have such a lovely place to go eat and have a meal that is not only beautifully presented but very very good. I have three more reservations coming up and I can't wait. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

    Wedge salad
    Angela B.

    Corrales has themselves a new gem There are not a lot of restaurants I will cross the Rio Grande in rush hour traffic for - but I'll sit in 45 min of bumper to bumper traffic for this dining experience any day of the week. A small, limited number of tables makes a very intimate experience. You can see the kitchen and bar from any table. Low light fine dining ambiance with friendly staff. The drinks were lovely. We had the lemon and espresso martinis as well as the Italian margarita special for the night 10/10 no notes The food was delightful. The cauliflower soup was absolute perfection. Sometimes simple really is best. Spotlight shout out to the flan. Everyone makes it so differently I'm always hesitant to order it... I've never been so thrilled. This is exactly how I want flan to taste! We'll obviously be back!

    Breakfast burrito
    Christiana D.

    The breakfast burrito is (in my opinion!) The best thing on the menu. Smothered in Xmas and dolloped with peaks of sour cream make this dish win. It's a fun place to brunch. We make quite a trek out to the restaurant. But, the drive is always worth it.

    Ahi tuna avocado toast with eggs.

    A lovely Brunch. Quality service although it was quite a wait because they are a bit short staffed - so we were told. The food was tasty, but I think the brunch was not as great as dinner we had the night before. Chicken was a bit overdone. This said, my husband's shrimp and grits were awesome, and the pancakes we shared were delicious. Tuna avocado and eggs breakfast was good, too. Overall, I would come back for brunch if in the area. Ambiance is lovely, and outdoor seating must be fantastic when it's warm. As for dinner - I would give the restaurant 4+ stars. Great service. Awesome food though they were out of sea bass and a couple of other items. We did have a reservation at 8 pm - to be fair. All the dishes were great, but the bone marrow caught me by surprise. Fantastic! The bread pudding served with pork belly was epic, too. Picanha beef with a special rub was outstanding (sadly, not pictured). Can't wait to visit again when traveling to Albuquerque area.

    Chicken and waffles!
    Anneliese E.

    We had brunch here today and I'm totally charmed by the ambiance. The front half of this cozy restaurant is a former food shop and the back half is a top notch bar and eatery. So we got there about 8 minutes before our reservation and walked around the shop for a bit (called Fancies) and sized up the bakery options... quickly decided to get a few options to go. They look amazing (a cheesecake and a lemon tart) but we have not tried them yet. Once we were seated our server quickly suggested a mimosa, which is the fast way to my heart. My husband was a harder nut to crack and held out for the Bourbon Manhattan. Both were lovely. We ordered the bread basket to share, along with the eggs Benedict and the chicken and waffles. The basket comes with a top-notch croissant along with two scones (cranberry orange and green chile cheddar) and a potato roll. That was my first mistake. We filled UP. So when our entrees came we were pretty full. I still managed to eat half my Benedict, which is not an easy dish to do well. They did it well: lots of runny yolk, some crust/crunch of the muffin and a smooth, creamy sauce. Delish. My husband gave two thumbs up for the chicken (he said it had almost an Asian crunch/batter to it) and the savory waffles. And he had a second Manhattan, which isn't common. Service was low key, yet prompt. And the atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely Sunday morning-turned-afternoon. My only quibble would be that we didn't love the weird chairs, which are beautiful (leather-lined) but small with a weird tilt back. But that's a small quibble. We will be back. Thanks for the excellent hospitality!

Nothing has changed really inside it's pretty much the same. That's a good thing in my view. So for ambience I give four stars. The inside is attractive with a lot of windows. Outside there's a nice patio which would be great to sit at if the wind is not too bad. For service, I give four stars. Service is on pretentious and just down to earth. I think some of the people that used to be there at boxing baee are still there. If you are a younger soul who likes to play arcade games there are several there. Again, they were there when boxing bear was there. So for me the reason I give four stars is because this is a wonderful place to just come and be with friends. There is no high pressure to purchase expensive entrees or drink excessively. That is what I love about this place. As far as the kitchen and food goes, it's pretty humble. I would call this authentic lowdown tacos and burritos and nachos which is equivalent to pub food. My disappointment with the menu is that there are no really interesting options such as enchiladas. I'm an enchilada girl I admit it.. so I did not actually get any food although all of my friends did. I also don't drink alcohol any longer so my favorite beverage which is an athletic IPA was available in a can and I was very happy for that. All in all, if you like humble easy inexpensive tacos burritos nachos pub food go for that. If you're looking for a place to hang out with some friends and have an easy conversation without too much overhead noise from music or TVs do that. This location is really good for groups who want to hang out. I would suggest to management that they consider putting some music meaning live bands on the schedule here and there. This location is also appropriate for music bingo, karaoke, and trivia along with live band performances. Or even just have solo guitar players come in. I love this place before I still love it. I'll be back.

For example the house sauce and spicy ranch I ordered for the salad didn't arrive. The sauces I ordered with the meal were not delivered and the only ones I received were the extra mixture of sauces that the guy on the phone said he usually would have to charge me for but he would comp it. And it turns out he didn't get the sauces that were supposed to come with the meal and those were the only ones I got anyway. One upsetting part was that if they ran out of stuff they did not try to alert the customer and offer replacement items. I will say this, when I called about this, I got an apology and offer for free items. If I do go back to claim the items I'll let you guys know what the update is like. I think this might be the type of place that you'd want to check your order carefully and only leave once you know you are good to go. I don't recommend doing uber eats from here. I'm being really nice about the review stars because they had a couple sauces that were really good and although the business may not be organized, I think they have really yummy food and the customer service wasn't bad. So that's worth something.
