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.

I was invited to a special Holiday Celebration this year. I was really looking forward to attending…read morewith a good friend, but I had never heard of the venue or the location. Turned out, when I looked it up on a map app, I pass by Pasando Tiempo Winery Tasting Room on Alameda / Hwy 528 several times a month. I guess I need to learn to pay more attention. Some of the best places are right in front of you and you don't even see them. I think Pasando Tiempo Wine Tasting Room has been in this location for a year+ and I was just oblivious. Ugh. Think of all the opportunities I have missed. Never again. Nice, new building, but it would be easy to get it confused with the bank that shares the same location. It is a great location, but they need better signage for those of us with tunnel vision. They have an outside patio, but the weather was a little nippy when I was there - next Spring & Summer it will be pleasant and the view across the valley of the Sandia Mountains will be perfect. The Tasting Room is big and modern. with a separate room for special events. The tasting bar was longer than usual, but accommodated everyone who stepped up to order one of their great wines. I was given a taste of the "7 Briks". Oh my, it was delightful. Sweet, but too much. I generally don;t care for sweet wines, except for an after dinner drink . . . but the "7 Briks" was exceptional. Next time, if I can bring myself to do so, I will try their other wines. The NMHWC event was wonderful. The Pasando Tiempo staff were friendly and professional. The wine - - well the PT wine was like a cherry on the top of a great Holiday experience.

Finally! I finally took the time to stop by. I was the only person there, but don't take that as a…read morebad sign. Quite the opposite, I had 1:1 with Martha. She was happy and pleasant. The place was large, ceilings high and there was plenty of seating at the massive bar and various tables. In the warmer months when the NM wind is not blowing, the outdoor seating is cozy. I came in and sat at the bar. Martha did great explaining all the wines, suggested options I may like. She even convinced me to try their Chardonnay, which generally is not my first choice and actually turned out to be my favorite. Bought a bottle to take home. Chris came in while I was there, the "wine maker" even a sommelier. At this point I'm extra thankful that I'm the only one there. I started asking questions and he was so great! Explaining his love for each season of wine making, explaining how trying different wines was good, our palettes change, we talked about corks, and food pairings and how he doesn't make sweet wine and so much more, in fact so many wonderful topics about wine that I left knowing more than when I entered for a mid-afternoon tasting. I enjoyed his knowledge and honesty & thankful that Martha gave me Chardonnay to try. Sometimes we just have to step out of the box and while we may like a certain wine it's good to try others because like me, you'll enjoy something you didn't think you would. Get your friends and your loved ones or go it alone and visit their beautiful location for local wines and if wine isn't your thing, have a local distillery cocktail or a beer. If you're hungry get a charcuterie board. Friday and Saturday night there's music and food trucks. Extra parking in the dirt lot except when the Christmas trees are there. I'll be sure to return alone and with friends. Highly recommend. Thank you Chris and Martha for a wonderful afternoon.

The waitress took a long time to start taking our orders. To the point we all decided what we wanted. Then when she came she told us because our group was so large, they could not do mimosa flights. About 10 of the 15 people were all disappointed because that's what we literally went there for. The waitress was short with us and even when we asked for more water, she put two bottles down for the whole group. Which we went through quickly. The food was ok but the bar literally took almost 30 minutes to get the 4 mocktails to the table that were ordered. Overall it could have been just a bad day for them but I'm lucky I don't live in this city because I would never go back again.

Service was good and friendly. Flight can get creative and it's a nice space to relax and enjoy.read more

We had a reservation for 11:30am and arrived on time, but ended up waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no staff in sight. We called multiple times for assistance before anyone came out. To make matters worse, the friend who made the reservation was never informed that brunch is held in the private club and not the e restaurant, which caused unnecessary confusion right from the start. Once a waiter finally found us, we were taken to the private club where we were told they only had three brunch menu items available that day. We ordered immediately, along with waters and mimosas. Keep in mind, there were only two tables total--our group of three and another group of seven--so it wasn't busy. Despite that, service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes just to get our mimosas, and our waters were forgotten and didn't come out until another 10 minutes later. Our food took about 40 minutes, which felt excessive given how few people were there. Even more frustrating, my friends' meals came out about 10 minutes before mine. There's really no reason meals at the same table shouldn't be served together. The food itself was just okay. The only standout was the French toast, which was actually really good--and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star. I also ordered coffee and was told they don't carry creamer, which is surprising for a place offering brunch. Our waitress rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which added to the overall lack of service. Between the confusion, long wait times, and lack of attention, this experience didn't meet expectations. I won't be returning.

A Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers in Old Town…read more Stopped into Noisy Water Winery while walking around Old Town and it ended up being one of the highlights of the afternoon. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a really cool art-gallery vibe throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time sipping wine and browsing the local artwork. The wine selection was impressive--lots of unique New Mexico wines to choose from, and the tasting flights are a great way to try several different varieties. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations based on what we liked and explaining the wines without making it feel intimidating. We also tried a cheese board which paired perfectly with the wine and made the whole experience feel a little extra special. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun stop while exploring Old Town, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great wine, great vibe, and great service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.
