Best Contemporary American Restaurants in University of New Mexico

From start to finish we had a delicious meal with the best martinis and eclectic and yummy food in a beautiful ambiance. The service was wonderful with a couple of calls made as we were late and throughout the meal the attention to detail and style. My husband and I always love Zinc and last night was perfect!

We had a party of 4. Our experience was amazing. The service was extraordinary. The server did an incredible job explaining the menu and taking care of us through our meal. All our entrees were delicious. The wine choices were exceptional. The cocktail options were so delicious. I had The Astor, think a Manhattan with a coffee background. It was wonderful. The sunset, the clouds, the ambiance made it an evening we will never forget. Thank you, Ten 3, and thank you to Matt, our server. Special memory for sure.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner with friends. We arrived a little early but sat at the bar and Andy whipped us up some lovely drinks while we waited. We were seated on time and the service was great. Bread and Brie made a fantastic appetizer. The beet salad, filet, lamb, and halibut special were all delicious. As were the cheesecake and molten lava cake desserts. This was several years in a row for our Christmas Eve dinner at this classic neighborhood restaurant in Corrales.

Prairie Star is absolutely fabulous, it's small and quaint southwestern. The restaurant is on Santa Ana reservation, which overlooks the Santa Ana Golf Course and the Sandia Mountains. The food/menu is diverse and offers a nice variety of entrees. The menu is fairly priced. The Prairie Star is a must for upscale dining at a fair price. We celebrate our wedding anniversary yearly at the Prairie Star. Roger, the manager, returns confirmation reservations quickly and manages a top-notch restaurant. Wait staff are pros!!

We haven't been visiting Savoy as often as we used to since prices are up notably and we felt like the number of special items on offer had dropped. Our visit last night was a delight, with great service (owners circulating on-site, working amongst the staffers) and remarkably good food. We need to simply deal with the fact that prices have increased and return to our frequent visit habit - Savoy does a really great job.
