Our party of four had a wonderful experience today for lunch. Our server was timely, knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. We each had something different, yet delicious. The new winter soup -the chicken one - was fantastic!

About the restaurant

Upscale Patio Bar and Restaurant Overlooking Old Town Albuquerque

Seasons Grill in the heart of the Sawmill District in Old Town is a local favorite and a visitor's destination! The concept is driven by one core idea: take the best fresh and seasonal ingredients and prepare them in a casually elegant environment. The open kitchen's wood-burning rotisserie & grill creates an opportunity for signature dishes such as Kobe Ribeye Filet, Grilled Jumbo Sea Scallops and a daily fresh fish to be more than a meal, but an experience.

We have a great Happy Hour Wednesday thru Friday on the Rooftop, including food and drink specials. Dine on the second story balcony or inside with open breezes!

Seasons has an extensive award-winning wine list, a full bar and several private dining options for up to 100 people. For more information please visit us at seasonsabq.com or call 505-766-5100

GREAT food with a nice wine pairing and awesome service! I highly recommend the lobster bisque. Definitely a great neighborhood restaurant for either a nice meal out, including date nights and special occasions, or just to get out of the house and avoid cooking.

The place is very clean. Esthetically pleasing! Food was really good. Served hot. Dessert was just ok. No zing to the small piece of Key lime pie. Carrot cake was pretty good. $9.50 per dessert is pricey. Service is really nice. Will revisit soon.
