Season's is delicious! While visiting Albuquerque we walked around Old Town and this is the first restaurant we spotted with a vast menu. We ordered the fish special, parmesan crusted chicken, and kids pasta marinara. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly with seasonal sides, the chicken was flavorful and quite a large portion and the pasta marinara had a fresh sauce my two year old loved and I would eat as an adult. Service was superb. The waitress was attentive and understood the menu. Dessert was delicious. We ordered the chocolate creme brule duo and it was rich and decadent. Some other reviewers complained of the price but it's worth it for quality food. Charging $2.50 to add 5 slices of strawberries to a 2 year olds ice cream is questionable but we loved our overall experience. I would have left five stars but after returning for lunch the next day the service was not as good as dinner. Our waitress was hard to flag down and forgot a side we asked for. The food was still delicious. We will definitely dine again when in town.

First they sat us at a table that was way to small for the group, then they burnt and I mean charred the medium steaks, not just one two of us ordered medium steaks and they were both burnt, and to top it off the service was unfriendly and indifferent.
Ate here for what first was going to be a quick bite to eat. But once we climbed up the stairs and sat on the outside porch, we stayed a bit longer than was first thought! It was gorgeous outside. Others with me had the tacos--a few different types of meats--and I had the spinach and goat cheese salad. It was really good, with a great simple dressing! The waiters were incredibly friendly and kind. A very cute place to grab a bite and enjoy the night air. Ooh, and the margs looked amazing!

We sat upstairs during happy hour but the slow service did not make us happy. Drinks and food are somewhat cheap, but if you come when it is busy, expect slow service. It took more than 45 minutes to get drinks! As you can tell we were not in the best mood with our server. Got the tacos and margaritas- can't go wrong in New Mexico.

SOLID For as long as I can remember, Seasons has offered delicious food and provided quality, knowledgable service. I don't live in ABQ any longer, so I don't frequent Seasons as often as I'd like, but each time I do, I'm impressed. I've never had a bad meal at Seasons, nor have I ever dined with anyone who has. Located downtown, the upstairs patio bar offers great views (of both downtown and the Sandia Mountains), a welcoming breeze on summer evenings, and great cocktails. If you plan to dine at Seasons, I highly recommend arriving early to enjoy the upstairs patio and ease into a great evening. The wine menu and food selections are wonderful and they offer daily specials that will make your dinner decision difficult. As I said, this place has been one of the top restaurants in Albuquerque for many years, and deservedly so. Park at the free garage next door to Seasons and enjoy a wonderful night of great food and drinks!

Seasons Satisfies Seasons is right on the edge of touristy Old Town. It is a new building and is convenient to the museums in the area as well as the historic core of Old Town. I was surprised how much of Old Town shuts down in the evening. We got a rooftop table at Seasons which was very nice. But I don't know why they close off most of the best view, towards Sandia Peak by a pretty high wall. Service was very pleasant but a bit slow. Drinks were reasonably priced and good. We were given a menu for "upstairs" but we had seen another menu posted outside. That is the "downstairs" menu and we could order from that as well. Many items were repeated on the two menus but there were some nice options on the "downstairs" menu. Why two menus? Rather confusing. Food was all good to excellent. Everything seemed to be very freshly prepared. Again, prices were reasonable--especially for this quality. We found our visit to Seasons to be very satisfying.

It was Valentine's Day... and my date... aka my best friend decided to take me here... It wasn't anything EXTRAVAGANT where u should show up in a cocktail dress or super upscale. But it was perfect for me, not too fancy, didn't need reservations or anything. You can sit downstairs or there's a really cute outdoor patio on the rooftop. For the entree I ordered the Ravioli. It was soooo good. The sauce that came on it was delicious. I usually don't each much and can't finish my entire plate but that thing was goneeeeee... lol. Her friend who also came with us ordered the Beef Sirloin which was really good. It was so tender and just perfect. My bff said the Sangria was really good so I had to try that out and she wasn't kidding. Loved it! They also have a happy hour which I wish I could come back for because it looks amazing. I heard that there's a Seasons here in AZ so I'll have to do some research on that to see if it's the same restaurant because I would definitely want to come back! =)

I had the salmon with season veggies and the strawberry salad. My favorite was the salad, especially with the goat cheese. The salmon was cooked perfectly and I tried veggies I've never had before. It was quite expensive, but worth it. And the waiter (I don't remember his name) was awesome!

Perfect choice for dinner on a gorgeous night. This is highly under rated on Yelp. The service was a little slow and they forgot my entree but it was an honest mistake and the food was delicious. I got the special salad of yellow peaches and cheddar w chicken. They have good craft beer and good atmosphere. Was perfect for a dinner with coworkers.

Best restaurant in Old Town... and that's saying something! They offer a "season"-al menu AND daily dinner and drink specials according to what is of peak freshness. Their steak, seafood and veggies are in a league of their own. The environment is clean and up-scale... even the upstairs bar with outdoor seating! If you have a chance, go on a Saturday or Sunday evening when they have live music upstairs. The staff is always happy and friendly from the moment you walk in, and they know their menu. Ask for a recommendation, from food to wine, and they'll take good care of you.

Had the parents bring us here for dinner. They enjoyed their salmon. We enjoyed the vegan platter and side dishes made vegan (corn with squashes was the best.) Prickly Pear sorbet was good. -1 star for the busser guy who kept repeatedly clearing our plates and table before we were done. We were clearly not done, but he kept coming by and taking things off the table or trying to whisk our plates away while we were still eating. Not sure what that was about. We weren't lingering over our meal at all.

Went a few times to the upstairs area. Finally got a chance to dine in the main area. The service was wonderful and the prime rib was excellent. I would definitely return for the service and the prime rib. The cocktails have room for improvement as my wife's (I cannot recall what she had) lacked a little flavor but mine was excellent. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Met some old friends here for drinks and appetizers after work. Some of these people are professional suit & tie types, so I was on my best behavior... ...but I should not have worried. My old friend was borderline ripped and boisterous. The staff didnt quite know how to take him. Between the off the wall requests and overly colorful language appetizers and drinks were efficiently served by friendly staff who were so nice by not kicking us out. I have no complaints about this place, although maybe our waiter thought about dosing us with cyanide to shut us up.

This is probably my most favorite patio in Albuquerque. We eat here regularly, and are always happy we came. They sometimes have live music upstairs in the patio and a great view of the mountain and another overlooking the large downstairs fountain facing old town. We usually have a green chili hamburger and tacos tapas style in the upstairs patio. With margaritas or red wine, desert air and music it doesn't get any better than this. We have tried the deserts and they are great as well. Be warned; the patio is crowded at happy hour as well as Sunday night, and you have to aggressively linger and wait for a table instead of having someone put you on a list and seat you, but it's worth the wait and effort. Service is friendly, and professional. The staff is young, but well trained and courteous. The restaurant downstairs is formal and very nice and great for special occasions. The food is very good. I like the steak, and my wife likes the pasta. We bring her parents here and her father is an elderly retired professor and has difficulty walking these days but the restaurant has always accommodated us. We have spent many dinner evenings here talking, eating and drinking wine.

I dont leave many 5 stars but this place deserves it! The 3 times ive been here all the food, including the sides, are freshly made with quality ingredients.. and the wait staff is great too! Not a single complaint.. The prime rib sandwich blew my mind. Still not sure if i was dreaming or not however.

If you are looking for good upscale dining, Seasons is the place for you. With a extensive wine list, freshly prepared seasonal dishes and good service (thanks Joe), you can't go wrong. Our group started with Mexican crabs cakes, sweet corn griddle cakes and fig prosciutto flat bread. Wow, were they tasty. This was coupled with a Belle Glos red. Fabulous. Mains included scallops, half chicken and sirloin. All were very well prepared and served. All the courses were priced reasonably for a restaurant of this caliber. If you are looking for something different from the SW Mexican fare, this is the place to go. If can't find anything marginal or less than very good as some of the other reviews did. Well prepared dishes with good service. Thanks to Seasons for a delightful meal.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Seasons Rotisserie and Grill last night, the servers, bartenders, the hostes were all wonderful and the food was fantastic. We spend 2 1/2 hours there and loved every minute of it. We will return again when we go through Albuquerque.

I've only dined in the main restaurant downstairs a few times, and it's pretty freakin' delicious. But our real hangout is in the upstairs bar and grill. Seasons knows how to do service -- they know how to encourage the order of your next drink before you've finished the first -- servers are always friendly and hot and capable. And the food -- I've never been unsatisfied. Seasons should add a bike rack somewhere - (Old Town generally needs more) - but I'm always trying to chain up to a lamppost or something and it's annoying, when there's plenty of room for a rack in front of the restaurant.

First dinner I had there. Is this supposed to be fine dining? My $26 pork tenderloin was a mound of raw carcus and bone. I had to dig thru the layers of raw pig skin that looked and felt like have-ready jello, to get to the meat. I was fairly disgusted to say the least. The decor is very 1990s. I give an extra star because the drinks and service were good. Overall disappointed in this place.

Lovely, lively and wonderful restaurant! This is the perfect place to get a home cooked meal! The food is full of flavor and always tastes so fresh! All the windows create nice natural light! The staff is very friendly and welcoming! Not to mention the beautiful flowers that the restaurant is filled with!

I'm not going to beat around the bush, the steaks aren't what gave Seasons a 3. The sides and the service are what made this place memorable. We ordered the prime rib and a filet, the filet was burnt on the outside and had a cold interior which made the high quality meat seem like a cheaper cut. The prime rib was, in my opinion, disgusting. I am not a big BBQ fan and it tasted as if I were eating BBQ. Smoky prime rib? That's a first. Set aside the poor steaks, the sides were delicious! The polenta was spot and and the truffle potato gratin was on point! I would honestly come back just to eat the sides.

BEST meal I had in Abq! I was in Abq with family, supporting our dear Alex (baseball player at University of New Mexico) for the season's opening weekend. We wanted to eat a delicious meal while in the Enchanted City so of course I referred to Yelp. Sadly, because this past weekend was also Valentine's weekend, restaurant after restaurant was booked solid or only had openings around 5pm (too early, we had a baseball game) or 10pm (way too late to eat dinner for hungry baseball players and family). The hostess at Seasons was so sweet and very sympathetic after I explained to her why we were in town, etc. She told me that as long as someone shows up to claim the table at our reservation time, we could sit and wait for the rest of our party to show up and the table would still be held. Of course, the game went in to extra innings (14 innings!) so Seasons basically held our table for 2 HOURS past our reservation time. That would never happen in any other city I don't believe. The restaurant was booked and when we arrived the dining room was packed. Once dinner finally got underway we were sure to take good care of the staff for their patience. Our party of 7 ordered: -Margaritas -Champagne -Honey duck lettuce wraps (My favorite bite) -Crab cakes -Caesar salad -Rotisserie half chicken -Parmesan crusted chicken -Rib eye (on special menu) came with the most AMAZING green chili mashed potatoes! -Pasta in marsala sauce (on special menu) -T-bone (on special menu) -Sides: Bacon-scallion sweet potatoes (mashed), sauteed spinich & onions, sauteed brocolli -Dessert: Pumpkin bread pudding, tiramisu, apple-peanut butter pie (My fav) I will upload a pic. The service and food were absolutely outstanding. The fact that the staff was so flexible and accomodating to us really stood out to me. Once we finally arrived and our meal began everything ran smoothly and perfect. The downstairs dining room is very clean and spacious. High ceilings, white table cloths and an open kitchen are all lovely features. I truly enjoyed my experience at Seasons and will absolutely return when back in Abq...Go Lobos!

Very nice restaurant. Big portions for the price. Overall solid fine dining experience. One thing though, you will be charged for the salad if asked if you want one. The way the waiter worded it made it sound like it was included in the meal.

For ABQ standards, this is a very nice more on the upscale restaurant. Service was very good and food was pretty good. We had the crab cakes , calamari , ravioli and scallops. All are recommended but calamari was so so. I had a glass of a Pinot noir which was pretty good. Overall, recommend if you are in ABQ for a semi nice dinner.

Eric And Jennifer R.
Had dinner with a girlfriend. We sat upstairs because we did not have reservations and didn't want to wait an hour for a table. It was more like a covered rooftop bar. We could see old town and part of downtown from the patio. We were glad we went upstairs because there was more energy and it was casual. They have a nice bar and a long communal table which is great for socializing. We had the charcuterie, salmon and Caesar salad. The food was lovely. The service was not great. It was pricey but the ambience was worth it. It is a great place for a large group.

Definitely head to Seasons for a happy hour cocktail, or for dinner when someone else is picking up the tab. The atmosphere is great, particularly the outside seating at the 2nd floor bar. The cocktails are 1st class, particularly at happy hour when they're affordable. I've also had some excellent meals here, but the problem is that Seasons has trouble getting details right (a pervasive problem with ABQ restaurants) -- and your supposed to get those details right when you charge premium prices. For example, the bar food has flavor problems: both the hummus and the wings have a strong flavor of white pepper -- but white pepper is acrid and not meant to be a dominant flavor in anything. The wings were overfried, and instead of being served with blue cheese, they were served with this near-flavorless sour cream and herb concoction. The chili-lime sauce for the shrimp was far too sweet, and the shrimp were small and with texture that shouts "previously frozen!". The scallops were excellent -- cooked to perfection, no complaints. The artichoke ravioli was a bland, partly due to being under salted and having insufficient quantity of artichoke -- a major disappointment for a $20 pasta dish. Regarding service, our waitress somehow interpreted a single order of the shrimp appetizer as two orders, and insisted that she was right! Then she failed to clear our appetizer dishes when she served our dinner. One caveat though -- this was a meal served at the bar upstairs -- I've had much better service at the restaurant on 1st floor.

Probably the best food I had while I was in ABQ aside from what my family cooked for me. As is my custom I try to make reservations with Open Table via their app or from Yelp. When we arrived roughly 15 minutes early for our dinner experience the hostess greeted us and said our table was already prepped (it wasn't super busy). I have to say I really enjoyed the ambiance and decor of this place. There was a more private wine room setup at the far end that looked really cool and the upstairs has a deck for when the temperature gets above negative 8 gazillion degrees. They brought out some decent bread and butter to munch on while we figured out our dinners. I order some steaky deliciousness and my family ordered... food... who cares. I didn't eat their food! Who is writing this review anyways?! My steak was just slightly undercooked which is perfectly fine by me. I'd rather have more red in my steak than a blackened charred outside with grey innards. Mooooo! My steak with cheesy goodness on top was delicious. It was a downright tasty spectacle having a dance party with my taste buds. The odd thing regarding my steak... is they never brought me a steak knife and our server disappeared for a bit after our food was brought out. I used the butter knife that was presented with the rest of my utensils upon seating and it did the trick; the fillet was pretty much ready to get devoured as is. Our server was pretty dang good. He was attentive enough without being overbearing and did a good job of keeping on top of our beverages. For the most part I'd say this was a good dining experience with pretty good food. It's definitely a step up from most of the other restaurants I tried while on my Christmas trip. I'm a fan.

It was fine but I felt the flavor was lacking. Service was excellent and friendly. The room is attractive. Q\was there with a group of 8. Everyone was satisfied but I didn't feel anything blew things away. I had the chili relleno and it was very bland. Same with Cesar salad. It wasn't bad--just bland.

I used to visit the upstairs bar at Seasons somewhat regularly when I lived in the area. I've been to the fancy downstairs restaurant and it was great, but I'm really reviewing the bar upstairs. It's a nice somewhat-patio bar (the open air part is pretty small and sectioned off in the winter that looks out onto old town. My wife and I would usually head down for a late bite and drink, as we'd had one of our first dates here and they served food late. It's usually pretty packed on Friday and Saturday nights from happy hour on, but is not a late night spot. Because of this, they run a late-night "happy hour" on food and some drinks from 9-close. The food selection is "upscale bar food"; the frito misto/calamari is pretty good though it seems like it needs something, I'm just not sure what. I usually go for the popcorn shrimp, which are served with a chili-lime dipping sauce, and the fish tacos, which have a good mix of cabbage and mango. The beer selection is good but not very big. There's usually a few "craft" beers in rotation.

Ashley E.
So, I am usually skeptical of peoples' reviews when they complain about their steak being too rare or there being "too much" bleu cheese on their steak. I mean...how can a steak be too rare or the presence of lots of bleu cheese be unpleasant? Well, sirs (& madames), I stand corrected. I am definitely not going to complain about my steak coming out a little too rare (because I still think it's delicious unless it's sitting in front of me moo-ing.) But the bleu cheese "crust" was definitely overwhelming. Also, their seasonal soup (a roasted red pepper bisque) was absolutely SUB PAR. It was soooo watery and tasteless. Personally, I think a bisque should coat your tongue in lusciousness, but who asked me? I told my server about the soup and she returned moments later to inform me that I was absolutely right and that they wouldn't be serving it for the rest of the night. We had the pumpkin bread pudding for dessert and without trying to sound like a jerk--I've made better at home. All things considered, the meal was pretty tasty but in American standards the portions were petite considering the cost. That plus the punch-you-in-the-face bleu cheese and anemic bisque makes me think twice about revisiting this local grill.

Alex R.
Seasons, for me, is very hit or miss. Their Parmesan crusted chicken breast is wonderful...Most of the time. Last night we ended up sitting upstairs at their rooftop bar, which is way more casual than the dining room down stairs. The food was really mediocre and the siracha shrimp street tacos were almost too hot to eat. Their fresh mozzarella caprese salad was super wonderful, whoever. Drinks are pricey and mine tasted like hairspray. Overall, there are better places in town to get a nice meal. Season's used to be one of my favorites, but they're slipping.

Lyssa D.
My husband and I eat here pretty often. It's sort of our easy go to place when we want a burger and a beer. We typically sit upstairs in the bar, but if we come in for lunch, we will have our burger downstairs. I really think they have one of the best burgers in town and it's affordable. We do eat other things here also, but the burger is my favorite thing, or maybe the salmon salad... It's a nice place to get a good glass of wine also.

If you have food allergies, do not come here. This is a hard review to write because we wanted to love this place. So my SO has a food allergy to dairy. Yes, you read that right ALLERGY, not lactose intolerance. Epipen, ER, whole nine yards. Well, SO's family was in town and decided to go to a more upscale place. Decor was fine, food was fine for those who could eat here. When we first sat down, while we were taking our menus we alerted our waiter to our allergy issue and that we needed some help with what we could eat off the menu. He said no problem, they do it all the time. So we ordered drinks and started looking through the menu. Waiter came back, needless to say nothing on the menu does not include a dairy product (his exact words, "you should be fine, there is only a little dairy") He was all huffy when asked specific questions to go ask the chef about certain dishes and their ingredients and made the whole experience awful. SO ended up with a dry salad consisting of spinach, a couple tomatoes and a few apple slices. No dressing. They were not even willing to cook a dry chicken breast for him so he could have some protein and fill out the salad into a complete meal. While my meal was good, the rest of the family enjoyed their meals I ended up having to come home and cook a meal. A disappointing experience as other restaurants in the same class have always been super accommodating, mixing and matching off of several plates or making a protein with no sauces etc. so that he can enjoy a meal out. Quite frankly those in the Chili's and Applebee's category have been much more accommodating.

This place was awesome!!!! Their food was delicious. Living in El Paso, Texas, we have been born and bred eating authentic Mexican food. When we came to a Albuquerque we were looking for something different to eat. This restaurant was it. The chicken gyro was exquisite and the waffle fries were fresh and crunchy. The angus burger was extremely tasty and cooked to order. The margaritas and mojito were wonderful. Go during happy hour and it's even better!!!

I guess this review will be removed, but I'll write it anyway. Made reservations at Seasons for a recent Friday evening, to celebrate our move into the neighborhood. The wife wanted to sit at the seats overlooking the kitchen, so when I called, the first thing I asked was whether there was any available seating there. Being assured there was, I reserved two seats at the K Bar. We show up right on time, and though the restaurant was about 2/3 full, the hostess asks us to wait while they set our table. I ask, what about the K Bar, that's what we had reserved? Oh, there was a mixup, won't a regular table be OK? No. I made a reservation for particular seating. A glance in that direction confirmed no seats were available there, meaning they gave away our reservation to someone else. That a 2/3 full restaurant had to scramble to make up a table at the time of the reservation pretty much confirms that. From our perspective it wasn't an acceptable situation. Maybe that makes us jerks, but we reserved something and it was provided to someone else. So we walked the neighborhood and had an outstanding dinner elsewhere, where we look forward to returning. Seasons, not so much.

FOOD: good; nothing outstanding - Atlantic Salmon: with a small amount of orzo pasta and squash; pretty standard - Beef Sirloin: served with a mound of mashed potatoes; crispy onion strings were piled high but were very greasy and did not not compliment the dish; sirloin was juicy and flavorful - Tomato and Burrata Cheese Salad: incredibly simple preparation; very little arugula - Fried Calamari: overly oily; the batter was not done right SERVICE: Good. Our waiter seemed to notice that he served my wine with a piece of cork in it. I didn't say anything because of our company, but it would have been better if he looked before serving it. Still, he was personable and attentive. AMBIANCE: Upscale with flattering lighting. Unfortunately, my seat was near a window with numerous flies swarming around... and a couple flies were dead on the window sill. The active flies would occasionally hover over our food and/or land on us, which was pretty annoying and gross. The flies negatively affected the dining experience. At least we were in good company; otherwise I would have freaked out a little. Overall the food was good, though a bit uninspiring.

4 of us and one child at dinner. The food was pretty good, not great, and definitely not inspired. Service was good and waiter was very nice, especially when they sent out one of our steaks way overcooked. The only problem was the second steak came out VERY rare instead of mid-rare. They did change a glaze on one steak, with no issues whatsoever. It just wasn't all that tasty of a replacement. People in t-shirts and flip-flops kindof turned me off. I felt like I was at Outback. Disappointing. For the price, I would have preferred Farm and Table or Zinc.

During a recent trip to New Mexico I had the pleasure of dining at Seasons ... twice. My girlfriend had her rehearsal dinner at Seasons in the private room. The room is large, lined with windows, and features a wet bar. I would recommend coming here for a special function since the room is spacious enough to have personal space, but feels very intimate. The food was delicious. I ordered a vegetarian stuffed portobello mushroom in a pesto sauce and not only did I eat every bite on my plate, but I attempted to try to finish the meals of my dining companions. (And that ladies and gentlemen is how you make new friends ... eat their food!) The food hypnotized me and I forgot I was supposed to squeeze into a bridesmaid dress the following day. It was worth it. So after such a lovely experience at Seasons we went back for dinner. While I saw a number of families dining here, Seasons has a very sexy, date night vibe. The have a glorious wine list and after dining on steaks cooked to perfection we concluded that Seasons is a winner! Next time I'm in Albuquerque I will be back here for sure.

Definitely a five start experience my first time at seasons. It is pricey but I think that you get your moneys worth. The service was just right. The waiter knew exactly when to check on us and when to leave us alone. When we arrived, they were very welcoming and didn't rush us at all. They even checked our coats (probably the first time for me in ABQ). Both my wife and I had steaks which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sides especially the veggies were special and unique. My side was kale w/ some more exotic mushrooms that you typically don't find in the supermarket. The wine list is also quite extensive and we opted for a couple of glasses of wine in order to try more than one wine. Overall a great experience. Its pricey so I can't see myself going there often but definitely worth it for a special occasion.

Decided to give this little place a try after reading reviews. It was a cozy intimate place that had a rather limited menu however everything we had was absolutely delish! My husband had a chicken dish and I had a steak - both were tasty and came in huge portions. We also had a tomato soup to start off with which was to die for! It was the perfect atmosphere for a "date night" and we would definitely return.
We came here on a Sunday night, after driving around half of downtown ABQ looking for something to eat. It was about 8 or so, and everything was closed. We based our decision on the reviews, and since it was apparently the only thing open, and right by our hotel, we splurged. We had the choice to sit downstairs, or upstairs. Downstairs is pretty, white tablecloths, dressy, formal portion. It has the "downstairs menu," which is the better of the two menus. Ravioli, steaks, salmon, $20 or so a plate. The upstairs is cantina/ sports bar style. It too has it's own menu, which was wings and sandwiches and burgers. AND you can have the downstairs menu too. He ordered the blue cheese filet with mashed sweet potatoes and brussell sprouts, I ordered the parm chicken with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a martini (peach?). Downstairs menu. Food was UUUUMMAAAAYYYYYZZZINNNG. I particularly enjoyed fine dining in a bar with football. Waitress was wonderful, kept up with us, even though she was the only person working the room.

Seasons is definitely where I take out of town visitors. Here are a few pluses: 1. Parking is always good, close, and free. In the land of Nob Hill and downtown kinda metered parking, when the weather is poor parking is key. 2. The upstairs patio. It's great in the summer and great in the winter- both have a great view of the city and the garage type patio doors open or close dependent on weather. 3. The happy hour. Seriously pretty awesome- great food, always a drink special and a beer special, and $4.75 glasses of wine. Who could ask for more? In summary, definitely hit up Seasons- it's also a great place to network in this "2 degrees of separation" town- I always run into people I know!

I took my wife her for her birthday dinner - reservations were a snap (called ahead) and the service was terrific. The menu features a great selection of items and changes with the seasons! We were treated to the Winter seasonal menu. For our appetizer we had crab cakes and chili relleno (probably spelled that wrong!) which were both fantastic. Would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great place for dinner. It was great!

Good friends, a warm breezy afternoon on the deck. Pretty good beginnings. We were there to celebrate, have a couple of rounds of drinks and sample a few appetizers: chicken wings, street tacos (chicken and shrimp) and the pita and hummus plate. Each was good quality. the green chile chicken street taco was my personal favorite. Here's what I especially like about the place, quality is good to very good in the bar (I've been to the restaurant and it is excellent). The atmosphere is superb and service out of the ball park. One of our workmates toppled over her drink, broke the glass. No questions asked; they replaced it with a fresh new drink. Waitress was very attentive, but not overbearing. view and people watching is grand. Nice place to go on a Friday after noon, after a busy work week.

We visit Seasons pretty regularly as it is a great location for the whole family to meet. Every single time I have been here, I have had an amazingly wonderful meal with exceptional service. Even with the large group that accompanies me, the servers are right on point and friendly. The menu includes options for vegetarians and meat lovers and there is always a special menu that changes out regularly. Visit the upstairs patio/balcony for some lower-key relaxation & imbibing as there is often live music being featured. I usually always get the Salmon (cooked perfectly EVERY time), but when I am in the mood for a good steak, their blue cheese crusted filet fits the bill (also - if you like pasta dishes, their tomato-basil ravioli rocks!). You really can't go wrong here.

Gr8 food! Gr8 ambience! This is a winner... We went today for lunch. The restaurant was full but the server staff was professional and quick. The dining area, restrooms, and kitchen were clean and the bar was full. The food was incredible. Everything was fresh and tasted homemade. We ordered a variety of dishes from salads to burgers to squash pasta w/mushrooms and nuts dishes and everyone was pleased. (We had a large lunch group) Will definitely go back.

I had one of my favorite meals in ABQ at Seasons. I ordered the Spanish snapper which was undercooked (they sent it back to the kitchen without any hassles). This didn't bother me at all since it was sitting in the world's most amazing lemon-sake beurre sauce. I would buy a vat of it, if it were available. What's also nice about this place is the ample offerings of half bottle wines at reasonable prices. I left happily full and curious about the story behind the naming of the 'Magnum Room'...

Visiting from Chicago and am happy to write that Seasons Rotisserie Chicken entree was delicious. Perfectly seasoned chicken that was cooked perfectly...it's hard keeping a breast juicy but they managed to very well. The sliced veggies were also delicious.

A full 4 stars, maybe 4.37, says Alan. We had another magic brochure and when the waiter caught sight of it he told us it was good for the sweet corn griddle cakes, a trio topped by marsala-fig chutney, herbed goat cheese and romesco, one topping per cake. We split each cake in half. Alan's favorite was the marsala-fig followed by the romesco. He's not a great fan of goat cheese. My favorite was the goat cheese followed by the marsala-fig. I've had much better romesco. I asked to see the cocktail menu and our waiter brought it to me. There were a couple of interesting ones. The one I chose was called the Hendricks Experience, w/ Hendricks gin, limoncello something w/ a basil infusion (I forget what and its not online) garnished w/ a basil leaf. What I got was delicious, layered and nuanced, but I tasted no limoncello nor lemon of any sort. I did taste a hint of basil. Whatever it was, I liked it. We received a basket of bread and a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seasonings that included garlic. We split a peach and blackberries salad. It was mixed w/ baby spinach, arugula, cornbread croutons, very mild feta and a sweet basil vinaigrette. It was delivered split and was delicious, although there was not a blackberry in evidence. I ordered a half rotisserie chicken, which came w/ delicious corn spoon bread and a colorful slaw of some sort. Alan ordered a steak, which came w/ julienned vegetables and mashed potatoes, I think. The bite of the steak I had was tender and delicious. My chicken was moist and flavorful. We both liked the spoon bread. I didn't like the slaw, which reminded me of T-Rex's. Service was attentive and unrushed, both by the server and the busser. The experience was more elegant than last night's and we would come back on our next trip to Albuquerque.

Yelp brought us here, and I promised myself i would help balance out the ratings a little bit...for good reason. Their steaks have such odd marination....awful smell, and I could not fathom to even try a cut! To be fair, we had 2 different kinds steak entrees, done in different way, didn't finish either one. Also ordered the grilled sea scallops....I've never met sea scallops I didn't want to eat!! And we thought we'd give it a try with the desserts...worst decision ever. The bread pudding at Wholefoods is way better. Service was great, and that's what the one star is for.

Zoe L.
a great place for patio dining + drinks are reasonably priced, but the food is way too expensive for me (most entrees around $18) and not to my taste. basically i only come here when my friends want to. the servers are usually super busy, but nice; they just don't have a lot of time to hang around your table while you decide what you want.

Kicking back on Seasons's second floor open-air patio is one of my favorite things to do on a summer night in Albuquerque. The ambiance is fantastic. Seasons has a great menu of inventive cocktails, including one or more that uses green-chile infused vodka. Yum! I'd give the restaurant five stars if they had more vegetarian options. Be ready to pull out your salad fork! They do usually have a vegetarian, pasta option in the downstairs restaurant. (The menu is served upstairs, too, just ask your server.) Even though there's only one entree option for vegetarians, it's usually seasonally relevant and absolutely delicious.

I like dressing up once every new moon with my fiance and going to a fancy restaurant. It's like a once-a-year event! He, however, HATES dressing up for me, so when he does, we always go to a semi-nice place like The Cheesecake Factory. When we were in NM, we decided to try this place since it had so many great reviews. I was kind of worried at first that we'd be all gussied up for a casual restaurant. But no problem at all! This place was absolutely perfect. It's gorgeous on the inside and its located on this little street that may look like a scene from the movies. lol. Maybe I'm just crazy?? Well, the food was great! I had the raviolis and he had the rotiserrie half chicken. The food was really good, better than I expected. And to finish off a great meal, we had the blackberry and raspberry custard thing. It came out looking all fancy and professional and whatnot. haha. Needless to say, we were impressed. Finally, the customer service was great. They were on top of everything and never left you waiting for a refill or to have your plates removed. Everyone was very friendly and would bend over backwards to make sure your experience was nothing short of perfect. NOTE: I made 2 reservations through the yelp website and got the confirmation email for both. HOWEVER, it did NOT show up in their computers, so just make sure if you're going in on a busy night, it might be safer to call and actually speak to someone rather than doing it online (: bon appetite!

Went to Seasons for a light dinner and chose a pair of appetizers apiece. Mine were crab cakes that were delicious along with a bean and corn soup, served hot with goat cheese on top. The SO had Caesar salad with a side of Mac and Cheese, including bacon. Crystal our server was prompt, attentive and knowledgable. Very nice decor, will repeat on next visit to ABQ.

So, I have been to Seasons for dinner many times, and recently, for lunch on a few occasions. The restaurant has always come highly rated and as such, I never gave thought to the product relative to expectations. This last lunch earlier this week caused me to think about dining in Albuquerque. First, a restaurant that is excellent should have a staff that is pleasant, helpful, and well rehearsed. Our experience every time has been excellent. From the hostess, the bar tender, the bus boy, to the manager, everyone is great. Our server on this day was Hanna. She was excellent, particularly in recommending different menu items. The food was great. We had a pecan crusted relleno and the seared tuna as an appetizer. Both were excellent. For the entree, I had sea scallops and my wife had salmon. Both were cooked exactly as ordered and the tastes were great. The main ingredients stood out while having some unique parings with preparation methods and spices. For dessert, we shared a pumpkin bread pudding that was tasty. I will go back, and would recommend especially for lunch.
We happened to be in ABQ and came here for dinner because, as the rest of our NM/AZ adventure goes...our first choice restaurant was inexplicably closed. Only, in this case, our first choice restaurant did give a reason for closing - winter break. Anyway, we found the service OK but a bit on the cold side. Our waitress kept pushing the one loan special steak that was left and couldn't really elaborate on much else. I assume it was because it was the end of the night and they were trying to get rid of it? I dunno... Anyway, we settled on the blue cheese crusted filet and the new york strip The blue cheese on the filet was inedible. Wayyyyyy to much of it. The new york strip was fine, but not memorable in any way. We had the chile & chocolate torte for dessert even though we had ordered the special chocolate & hazelnut one. I had a Persphone drink that was delicious - it was like a combination of a cosmo and margarita. However, when I was done with it, no one ever came to over me another or to see if I wanted wine, etc. I found that odd. My husband decided to try the tequila flight, which he received with zero education - not even the names of the tequilas! Isn't the point of a flight to be educated about what you're drinking? Overall, definitely not worth the price, but if this is all the fine dining ABQ has to offer, then I guess there is not much to compare it too...

This was Girlfriend's and my first meal in Albuquerque and within a few bites, we knew that we chose a good first restaurant for what would become an unofficial food tour of Duke City. The menu changes with the seasons and offers much fresh and delicious options. I apologize as I do not remember if anything was organic. Most of the entrees were for omnivores, but vegetarians should be satisfied with one or two of their good side dishes. Girlfriend had the pecan-encrusted relleno, a side dish, for dinner and was gushing over the combination of cheeses in the pepper. I had the maple-duck and it was cooked a perfect medium with the skin crunchy and the meat tender. The seasonal vegetables were mostly root vegetables and were also good. The cream cheese and bacon mashed sweet potatoes however were a revelation and I will steal their recipe for Thanksgiving this year. The staff was excellent. They were quick, informative and friendly. When Girlfriend and I had questions about the food, the city and even other restaurants, everyone was happy to share their own secrets of Albuquerque. I do not drink anymore and so can not report on the wines or cocktails. I can not recommend this place enough.

I love Seasons. It's one of my favorite places to dine and have a few drinks. I especially like to stop by during the summer (upstairs). In fact, I stopped by on Friday, December 6, 2013, while waiting for my friends to arrive for the Christmas Shopping Stroll in Old Town. I've never been disappointed with their food menu--their appetizers, entrees, and drinks. The food is always tasty, fresh, and flavorful. I've never been disappointed with their food. NOW, however, I feel they need to improve with their wait staff. My past experiences have always been waiting for at least 5-10 minutes before you are acknowledged. My pet peeve is customer service. On Friday, I sat at the table for about 5-7 minutes when one of the wait staff finally asked if I've been helped. He took my drink order and a few minutes later another wait staff came over to take my order. Well, he didn't come to let me know that another wait staff would be helping me. Overall, I digg this place. I recommend this place to my friends. I hope they improve on waiting on their customers...that's my only complaint.

Consistently wonderful. Atmosphere, food, and service are always top notch. Every time we've been (about a dozen) the waiters, waitresses, servers, and hosts have always been very attentive. There are a number of fantastic wines and cocktails on the menu although their seasonal mojito is always great. We have always enjoyed our meals here and their patio is my favorite in Albuquerque because of the live music during the warmer months.

Great service, nice wine, good selection of beers. Went with friends for apps and drinks. Lovely night to sit outside. Apps for the most part were terrific. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars was due to the fig & prosciutto flatbread. Bread was too thick and doughy to call a flat bread. Fabulous salads and crab cakes. Great night.

Seasons is definitely one of the nicer restaurants in Albuquerque and it shows. It's modern yet comfortable and the dim lighting only enhances the dining mood. They offer a solid menu but don't be expecting to see any regional specialties. Save that for a local dive elsewhere. All the food dishes were very well prepared and generous. We ordered the antipasto (tasty) to start, pork (quite juicy) and the lamb shank (enormous and supremely tender). There wasn't any vegetarian options so keep that in mind. But then again, that never personally affects me. Service was very courteous, prompt and above all, attractive! The clientele obviously resembles the upwardly mobile demographic of the area, but this place is by no means pretentious. It does attract a tourist crowd but luckily it's not the annoying kind. Some folks state this is one of the expensive restaurants, but I'd have to disagree. The medium price range for an entree is $23 and coming from East coast, that's considered a damn bargain. A bit pricey for Albuquerque perhaps, but totally affordable for the traveler. Check out Seasons for a hearty, satisfying meal. Chances are, you'll be familiar with the type of cuisine and that's not always a bad thing in the land of the almighty chile.

Celebrated a birthday dinner 11/3/2012. Service was prompt and attentive. We has the ravioli, which we both rated fair to good. I made the reservation through Open table. I included a birthday request, nothing complicated. The request was completely ignored. When I explained this to the server, she made it right. However, this is unacceptable for an upscale restaurant. Seasons is no longer on the special occasions dining list.

I really don't like this place. I've given it three chances, and I've never been impressed. Everytime I go it's because someone else wants to go, but I hope to not keep repeating that mistake anymore. This last time I went I had their specialty rotiserie chicken. Nothing special about it for $17. The one at Sam's for half the price is better. And that's for the whole chicken! The others I was with had a ceasar salad, and nobody liked it, or finished even half because it tasted too fishy. The restaurant itself is beautiful and trendy, but the food is not worth the price.

I love Seasons. That's all there is too it. Never had a bad meal there. Plus, the wife and I had our wedding reception here in the back rooms past the main dining room. Everyone was incredibly accommodating, plus the options for the reception dinner were amazing. The setting couldn't have been better for our reception of about 60 people. It has been almost a year since the wedding and our friends still mention how great the food and drinks were. The reception couldn't have been better. Thanks Seasons!

I generally will never give anyone 5 stars because that means perfect every time and I havent been anywhere in the world that meets that standard. For Albuquerque though Seasons probably rates 5 stars. That said, Seasons was one of my hangouts for the last 5 years or so until I moved to Seattle. I have probalby eaten there 50-100 times and had many a glass of wine at the bar. This is an excellent restaurant and certainly one of the top 10 in Albuquerque.For my business I often entertain interviewees from out of the area and invited speakers from around the country and this is a place one can count on to serve a great meal and deliver good ambiance everytime. My favorite...the Parmesan encrusted chicken. Their caesar salad is top notch in my estimation. Steaks are always an excellent bet. Service is always good to great. Other pluses...the upstairs bar is a happening place if you are so inclined. It is a local singles/mingles hangout and in the summer when they have live music the upstairs bar is always jammed and worth going to. Oh I almost forgot...my favorite Seasons concoction ...."The Angry Bee". A margarita made with green chili infused tequila. Ole ! I miss it now that I live in Seattle but fortunately there is no shortage of great restaurants like Season's here in the Emerald City. I will be back to Seasons the next tiem I visit the QuerQue.

We arrived in ABQ and by the time we checked into our hotel and wandered out for food, everyplace was closed (they roll up the streets at 9 in Old Town!) but Seasons was still open. We bypassed the white tablecloths downstairs for the more casual upstairs. The menu was limited - we had caesar, wings and calamari. I was all over the wings. mmm. nice and spicy and actually pretty substantial for wings. The caesar was pretty dainty - we like our greens in CA, but I suppose they are hard to maintain in NM (where we didn't find a lot of salady/veggie options the entire weekend). The service started off pretty slow - took quite a while to get a menu. But once the waitress heard Rick's Britty accent and started chatting, we were able to get our drinks filled quickly as well as other recommendations for our stay.

I came here with my boyfriend and his family on my last night visiting Albuquerque for the holidays, and was told that this was their "special occasion restaurant". My boyfriend tends to have pretty discerning taste, so I was really looking forward to a top rate dinner. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with our meal though. The food was good, but it wasn't quite at the level I expected (or that the prices indicated). We ordered the calamari and baked brie salad as appetizers. The calamari was fine, like you would get at any decent restaurant, as was the salad. I ordered scallops for my entree, which were a bit overcooked - which even my amateur chef of a self knows is always the #1 thing to avoid in preparing scallops. Overall, the food was rich, but for a restaurant of this caliber, the flavors lacked much subtlety and inventiveness. I think you could find food of the same quality at half the price in this city.

Good location old town Albuquerque, and it's NOT your typical tourist trap where the food is bad and the service worse. We couldn't get into the downstairs, table-clothed restaurant, but they let us use their menu (you have to ask, if they're too busy you are stuck with the cantina menu). Hubby had the caprese salad (no balsamic vinegar? Are you kidding? The chef is too proud of his homemade mozzarella cheese to sully it with vinegar (it was good cheese, but would be enhanced by vinegar)) and he had the breast of chicken. Both good (after adding vinegar to the salad)! I had the fig salad (okay, but nothing to write home about) and the grilled veggie platter (veggies cooked perfectly, attractively arranged, with nice subtle flavors). From reading other reviews on Yelp, this may well be one of the best restaurants in old-town Albuquerque, and we will likely go here again this trip.... Nice decor, nice clientele, great service, cute bartender. Food's pretty good. Nice, upstairs, patio dining (full moon with a clear sky! Very romantic). You won't be disappointed. I disagree with some previous reviewers -- Seasons is NOT expensive if you travel, etc. The most expensive entree' was the New York Steak at $32.50. It may be expensive for Albuquerque, but definitely within reason given the quality of food and service.

Where Albuquerque's beautiful gather. The food is great and the ambiance even better. The upstairs bar/ patio is a little Yuppie-ish. But unless you're in the market for a Sugar Daddy please go upstairs. Really, there is a generation gap between the 1st and 2nd floors. Occasionally a few of the Porsche driving Viagra guzzlers escape upstairs, but for the most part they stay down and enjoy the white linen table cloths. Their desserts are great and the raspberry martinis are to die for. Definitely a special occasion place.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting for the balloon fiesta. This place is really top notch. Clean, crisp and fresh. I had the fish taco's and they were really good. The cost for lunch was 27.00 for two with drinks and everything what a deal for "upper scale". THANKS!!

Didn't even get an opportunity to try the restaurant due to the hostess not informing us that the upstairs bar was not a full menu. Upon being advised that it was not a full menu upstairs, it was a minute too late for us be seated downstairs and get the full menu. Overall, the hostess was rude and robbed us of an opportunity to enjoy a highly reccommended restaurant. Our rating is for the service... Too bad we didn't get to try the food!

WHAT IS ALL THE HYPE ABOUT?!?!!? I am not a picky eater, and I thought this place was just bad. Although the balsamic-oil-seasoning for the bread was a good idea in theory, it was WAY overpowering. I ordered the squash ravioli for my main course. It came in a creamy sauce and had a lump of spinach leaves on top. IT HAD NO TASTE AT ALL. All the flavors were very muted and very forgettable. I had the Baked Alaska for dessert. IT WAS FROZEN SOLID - DID THEY DIG THIS DESSERT UP FROM THE ALASKAN TUNDRA?!?! The waiter finally figured out how to cut it...with a very sharp steak knife!!! On the plus side, they did offer to make us another one. After the wonderful things I heard, I was really disappointed. I hope I caught them on an off night. On the plus side, the interior decor is very appealing and warm.

Bad service and food wasn't worth the price. We ate off the happy hour menu on the patio, waitress disappeared for long amounts of time, brought out the wrong drink, and never checked on how we were doing. The ribs were so chewy and dry. The salad that came with them was soaked in oil. Chicken wings were okay. Mahi mahi tacos were average. For $35, it didn't feel worth it. I won't be returning.

I have not eaten here often. Most of the time, we go to the lounge portion of the restaurant because you can get good deals on food, and we enjoy their creative drink specials. We recently went with a large group, and everyone got food that they really enjoyed. I split a seafood pasta dish with someone, and I have to say that it was totally tasty and filled with fresh-tasting seafood including scallops and calamari. It cost around $11 for a nice portion. Outstanding. Martinis are interesting, and there's always a new one for you to try. Last Christmas, I got a chocolate-based one that just rocked. It's just a very nice place to relax and unwind. Recommend highly.

Season's is delicious! While visiting Albuquerque we walked around Old Town and this is the first restaurant we spotted with a vast menu. We ordered the fish special, parmesan crusted chicken, and kids pasta marinara. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly with seasonal sides, the chicken was flavorful and quite a large portion and the pasta marinara had a fresh sauce my two year old loved and I would eat as an adult. Service was superb. The waitress was attentive and understood the menu. Dessert was delicious. We ordered the chocolate creme brule duo and it was rich and decadent. Some other reviewers complained of the price but it's worth it for quality food. Charging $2.50 to add 5 slices of strawberries to a 2 year olds ice cream is questionable but we loved our overall experience. I would have left five stars but after returning for lunch the next day the service was not as good as dinner. Our waitress was hard to flag down and forgot a side we asked for. The food was still delicious. We will definitely dine again when in town.

First they sat us at a table that was way to small for the group, then they burnt and I mean charred the medium steaks, not just one two of us ordered medium steaks and they were both burnt, and to top it off the service was unfriendly and indifferent.

While in Old Town we asked a few locals where to grab dinner. They suggested Seasons. The atmosphere is great ~ casual to dressy. We were early for dinner so seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was very nice and the service was pretty prompt. We ordered two of the featured Strawberry bib lettuce salads with tart cherries. I had several strawberries that were not ripe sliced into my salad. The hubster had grit in his. If you overlook the grit and non ripe strawberries (see my picture!), the salads were pretty good. For dinner I ordered 'Seasons' Signature Rotisserie Half Chicken with Seasons' smashed potatoes, pumpkin seed & garlic cauliflower, herbed jus. I was surprised when the dish came looking like all one color. Nothing really appealing grabbed my eye. I cut into the chicken and took a few bites. Right away I was turned off with the amount of herbs used on the skin. The chicken itself had a texture and color of not being fully cooked. I asked our waitress if I could have my chicken cooked a little more. She assured me it was fully cooked and had the chef come out and explain the rotisserie cooking process. After getting sick from what appeared to be slightly underdone chicken in the past, I am a little paranoid with pink chicken so decided to take the chicken home and deal with it later. The hubster enjoyed his Center Cut Beef Sirloin w/roasted garlic mashed potatoes, butter & garlic broccoli, crispy onion strings, and rosemary-portobello demi glacé. For his dinner, I'll give Season's 3.5 stars. Four bites of my chicken and indeed I got sick during the night. I pulled the chicken out of the refrigerator the next morning and began pulling off the skin ~ it didn't take me long to discover MY CHICKEN WAS NOT FULLY COOKED! I simply threw it away. Sorry guys, but $18 for a chicken dinner, the chicken should be fully cooked. Neither our waitress nor the chef asked to double check my chicken to be sure it was fully cooked. After seeing my chicken was still on my plate, the manager came to our table and asked if he could bring me another dish which I thought was very nice. Sadly, at this point, my stomach was already turned and nothing was going to satisfy it. On to dessert. The hubster ordered Layered Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing which he enjoyed. However, for the price, this was a skinny slice of cake!! The locals who recommended Seasons highly recommended the Homemade Prickly Pear and Raspberry Sorbet. When our waitress brought the sorbet to our table it looked very refreshing. You can imagine my surprise when I put my spoon into the prickly pear sorbet and it simply crumbled apart! Sorbet should be a lovely smooth consistency! I wish I had snapped a picture of the crumbled sorbet!! Our waitress quickly took it away and returned with a dish of just the raspberry sorbet giving me the excuse (which I am sure she was told to say) "prickly pear sorbet doesn't stay very long due to the high sugar content". Say what??!! There was never a mention of adjusting our bill of about $80!!!

Ate here for what first was going to be a quick bite to eat. But once we climbed up the stairs and sat on the outside porch, we stayed a bit longer than was first thought! It was gorgeous outside. Others with me had the tacos--a few different types of meats--and I had the spinach and goat cheese salad. It was really good, with a great simple dressing! The waiters were incredibly friendly and kind. A very cute place to grab a bite and enjoy the night air. Ooh, and the margs looked amazing!

Lovely place. Found it on a long weekend and really enjoyed the place.

We sat upstairs during happy hour but the slow service did not make us happy. Drinks and food are somewhat cheap, but if you come when it is busy, expect slow service. It took more than 45 minutes to get drinks! As you can tell we were not in the best mood with our server. Got the tacos and margaritas- can't go wrong in New Mexico.

SOLID For as long as I can remember, Seasons has offered delicious food and provided quality, knowledgable service. I don't live in ABQ any longer, so I don't frequent Seasons as often as I'd like, but each time I do, I'm impressed. I've never had a bad meal at Seasons, nor have I ever dined with anyone who has. Located downtown, the upstairs patio bar offers great views (of both downtown and the Sandia Mountains), a welcoming breeze on summer evenings, and great cocktails. If you plan to dine at Seasons, I highly recommend arriving early to enjoy the upstairs patio and ease into a great evening. The wine menu and food selections are wonderful and they offer daily specials that will make your dinner decision difficult. As I said, this place has been one of the top restaurants in Albuquerque for many years, and deservedly so. Park at the free garage next door to Seasons and enjoy a wonderful night of great food and drinks!

Seasons Satisfies Seasons is right on the edge of touristy Old Town. It is a new building and is convenient to the museums in the area as well as the historic core of Old Town. I was surprised how much of Old Town shuts down in the evening. We got a rooftop table at Seasons which was very nice. But I don't know why they close off most of the best view, towards Sandia Peak by a pretty high wall. Service was very pleasant but a bit slow. Drinks were reasonably priced and good. We were given a menu for "upstairs" but we had seen another menu posted outside. That is the "downstairs" menu and we could order from that as well. Many items were repeated on the two menus but there were some nice options on the "downstairs" menu. Why two menus? Rather confusing. Food was all good to excellent. Everything seemed to be very freshly prepared. Again, prices were reasonable--especially for this quality. We found our visit to Seasons to be very satisfying.

It was Valentine's Day... and my date... aka my best friend decided to take me here... It wasn't anything EXTRAVAGANT where u should show up in a cocktail dress or super upscale. But it was perfect for me, not too fancy, didn't need reservations or anything. You can sit downstairs or there's a really cute outdoor patio on the rooftop. For the entree I ordered the Ravioli. It was soooo good. The sauce that came on it was delicious. I usually don't each much and can't finish my entire plate but that thing was goneeeeee... lol. Her friend who also came with us ordered the Beef Sirloin which was really good. It was so tender and just perfect. My bff said the Sangria was really good so I had to try that out and she wasn't kidding. Loved it! They also have a happy hour which I wish I could come back for because it looks amazing. I heard that there's a Seasons here in AZ so I'll have to do some research on that to see if it's the same restaurant because I would definitely want to come back! =)
(5)Lana V.
I had the salmon with season veggies and the strawberry salad. My favorite was the salad, especially with the goat cheese. The salmon was cooked perfectly and I tried veggies I've never had before. It was quite expensive, but worth it. And the waiter (I don't remember his name) was awesome!
(5)Thomas W.
Love the patio. Server had no personality even though drinks took 25 minutes... Blamed the bar an hour later.
(1)Amber A.
Perfect choice for dinner on a gorgeous night. This is highly under rated on Yelp. The service was a little slow and they forgot my entree but it was an honest mistake and the food was delicious. I got the special salad of yellow peaches and cheddar w chicken. They have good craft beer and good atmosphere. Was perfect for a dinner with coworkers.
(4)Casey C.
Best restaurant in Old Town... and that's saying something! They offer a "season"-al menu AND daily dinner and drink specials according to what is of peak freshness. Their steak, seafood and veggies are in a league of their own. The environment is clean and up-scale... even the upstairs bar with outdoor seating! If you have a chance, go on a Saturday or Sunday evening when they have live music upstairs. The staff is always happy and friendly from the moment you walk in, and they know their menu. Ask for a recommendation, from food to wine, and they'll take good care of you.
(5)Ouroboros B.
Had the parents bring us here for dinner. They enjoyed their salmon. We enjoyed the vegan platter and side dishes made vegan (corn with squashes was the best.) Prickly Pear sorbet was good. -1 star for the busser guy who kept repeatedly clearing our plates and table before we were done. We were clearly not done, but he kept coming by and taking things off the table or trying to whisk our plates away while we were still eating. Not sure what that was about. We weren't lingering over our meal at all.
(4)Mike P.
Went a few times to the upstairs area. Finally got a chance to dine in the main area. The service was wonderful and the prime rib was excellent. I would definitely return for the service and the prime rib. The cocktails have room for improvement as my wife's (I cannot recall what she had) lacked a little flavor but mine was excellent. Overall, a wonderful experience.
(5)Michael K.
Great meal at a reasonable price. Did not, repeat did not leave hungry. Staff very professional. Will be back!!
(5)Travis W.
Met some old friends here for drinks and appetizers after work. Some of these people are professional suit & tie types, so I was on my best behavior... ...but I should not have worried. My old friend was borderline ripped and boisterous. The staff didnt quite know how to take him. Between the off the wall requests and overly colorful language appetizers and drinks were efficiently served by friendly staff who were so nice by not kicking us out. I have no complaints about this place, although maybe our waiter thought about dosing us with cyanide to shut us up.
(4)Ruben R.
This is probably my most favorite patio in Albuquerque. We eat here regularly, and are always happy we came. They sometimes have live music upstairs in the patio and a great view of the mountain and another overlooking the large downstairs fountain facing old town. We usually have a green chili hamburger and tacos tapas style in the upstairs patio. With margaritas or red wine, desert air and music it doesn't get any better than this. We have tried the deserts and they are great as well. Be warned; the patio is crowded at happy hour as well as Sunday night, and you have to aggressively linger and wait for a table instead of having someone put you on a list and seat you, but it's worth the wait and effort. Service is friendly, and professional. The staff is young, but well trained and courteous. The restaurant downstairs is formal and very nice and great for special occasions. The food is very good. I like the steak, and my wife likes the pasta. We bring her parents here and her father is an elderly retired professor and has difficulty walking these days but the restaurant has always accommodated us. We have spent many dinner evenings here talking, eating and drinking wine.
(5)Aaron M.
Great burgers and salmon. Taco appetizer was nice! Great outdoors seating upstairs with TVs and grill. Great staff and service!
(4)J R.
I dont leave many 5 stars but this place deserves it! The 3 times ive been here all the food, including the sides, are freshly made with quality ingredients.. and the wait staff is great too! Not a single complaint.. The prime rib sandwich blew my mind. Still not sure if i was dreaming or not however.
(5)John H.
If you are looking for good upscale dining, Seasons is the place for you. With a extensive wine list, freshly prepared seasonal dishes and good service (thanks Joe), you can't go wrong. Our group started with Mexican crabs cakes, sweet corn griddle cakes and fig prosciutto flat bread. Wow, were they tasty. This was coupled with a Belle Glos red. Fabulous. Mains included scallops, half chicken and sirloin. All were very well prepared and served. All the courses were priced reasonably for a restaurant of this caliber. If you are looking for something different from the SW Mexican fare, this is the place to go. If can't find anything marginal or less than very good as some of the other reviews did. Well prepared dishes with good service. Thanks to Seasons for a delightful meal.
(4)Mary A.
My husband and I had a wonderful time at Seasons Rotisserie and Grill last night, the servers, bartenders, the hostes were all wonderful and the food was fantastic. We spend 2 1/2 hours there and loved every minute of it. We will return again when we go through Albuquerque.
(5)Andrew G.
I've only dined in the main restaurant downstairs a few times, and it's pretty freakin' delicious. But our real hangout is in the upstairs bar and grill. Seasons knows how to do service -- they know how to encourage the order of your next drink before you've finished the first -- servers are always friendly and hot and capable. And the food -- I've never been unsatisfied. Seasons should add a bike rack somewhere - (Old Town generally needs more) - but I'm always trying to chain up to a lamppost or something and it's annoying, when there's plenty of room for a rack in front of the restaurant.
(4)allan a.
First dinner I had there. Is this supposed to be fine dining? My $26 pork tenderloin was a mound of raw carcus and bone. I had to dig thru the layers of raw pig skin that looked and felt like have-ready jello, to get to the meat. I was fairly disgusted to say the least. The decor is very 1990s. I give an extra star because the drinks and service were good. Overall disappointed in this place.
(2)Lena M.
Lovely, lively and wonderful restaurant! This is the perfect place to get a home cooked meal! The food is full of flavor and always tastes so fresh! All the windows create nice natural light! The staff is very friendly and welcoming! Not to mention the beautiful flowers that the restaurant is filled with!
(5)Eric M.
I'm not going to beat around the bush, the steaks aren't what gave Seasons a 3. The sides and the service are what made this place memorable. We ordered the prime rib and a filet, the filet was burnt on the outside and had a cold interior which made the high quality meat seem like a cheaper cut. The prime rib was, in my opinion, disgusting. I am not a big BBQ fan and it tasted as if I were eating BBQ. Smoky prime rib? That's a first. Set aside the poor steaks, the sides were delicious! The polenta was spot and and the truffle potato gratin was on point! I would honestly come back just to eat the sides.
(3)Bobby P.
I agree with Tyler G if you not dressed the part your sever will just walk by but talk it up with the people in suits. This is my third time here and my last. To bad cause the food is great but services sucks.
(2)Ann W.
We got the pulled pork sandwich for lunch. It was excellent. And you haven't tried their gorgonzola dusted french fries, you have not lived! Wonderful!
(5)S K.
I love the food and drinks but I have literally been sitting here for half an hour and no one has even taken my drink order! They seem completely disorganized - like they don't know which server is responsible for which tables. Wow.
(3)Lisa S.
BEST meal I had in Abq! I was in Abq with family, supporting our dear Alex (baseball player at University of New Mexico) for the season's opening weekend. We wanted to eat a delicious meal while in the Enchanted City so of course I referred to Yelp. Sadly, because this past weekend was also Valentine's weekend, restaurant after restaurant was booked solid or only had openings around 5pm (too early, we had a baseball game) or 10pm (way too late to eat dinner for hungry baseball players and family). The hostess at Seasons was so sweet and very sympathetic after I explained to her why we were in town, etc. She told me that as long as someone shows up to claim the table at our reservation time, we could sit and wait for the rest of our party to show up and the table would still be held. Of course, the game went in to extra innings (14 innings!) so Seasons basically held our table for 2 HOURS past our reservation time. That would never happen in any other city I don't believe. The restaurant was booked and when we arrived the dining room was packed. Once dinner finally got underway we were sure to take good care of the staff for their patience. Our party of 7 ordered: -Margaritas -Champagne -Honey duck lettuce wraps (My favorite bite) -Crab cakes -Caesar salad -Rotisserie half chicken -Parmesan crusted chicken -Rib eye (on special menu) came with the most AMAZING green chili mashed potatoes! -Pasta in marsala sauce (on special menu) -T-bone (on special menu) -Sides: Bacon-scallion sweet potatoes (mashed), sauteed spinich & onions, sauteed brocolli -Dessert: Pumpkin bread pudding, tiramisu, apple-peanut butter pie (My fav) I will upload a pic. The service and food were absolutely outstanding. The fact that the staff was so flexible and accomodating to us really stood out to me. Once we finally arrived and our meal began everything ran smoothly and perfect. The downstairs dining room is very clean and spacious. High ceilings, white table cloths and an open kitchen are all lovely features. I truly enjoyed my experience at Seasons and will absolutely return when back in Abq...Go Lobos!
(5)Adrian C.
Very nice restaurant. Big portions for the price. Overall solid fine dining experience. One thing though, you will be charged for the salad if asked if you want one. The way the waiter worded it made it sound like it was included in the meal.
(4)Yelena M.
For ABQ standards, this is a very nice more on the upscale restaurant. Service was very good and food was pretty good. We had the crab cakes , calamari , ravioli and scallops. All are recommended but calamari was so so. I had a glass of a Pinot noir which was pretty good. Overall, recommend if you are in ABQ for a semi nice dinner.
(5)Eric And Jennifer R.
Had dinner with a girlfriend. We sat upstairs because we did not have reservations and didn't want to wait an hour for a table. It was more like a covered rooftop bar. We could see old town and part of downtown from the patio. We were glad we went upstairs because there was more energy and it was casual. They have a nice bar and a long communal table which is great for socializing. We had the charcuterie, salmon and Caesar salad. The food was lovely. The service was not great. It was pricey but the ambience was worth it. It is a great place for a large group.
(5)Chris W.
Definitely head to Seasons for a happy hour cocktail, or for dinner when someone else is picking up the tab. The atmosphere is great, particularly the outside seating at the 2nd floor bar. The cocktails are 1st class, particularly at happy hour when they're affordable. I've also had some excellent meals here, but the problem is that Seasons has trouble getting details right (a pervasive problem with ABQ restaurants) -- and your supposed to get those details right when you charge premium prices. For example, the bar food has flavor problems: both the hummus and the wings have a strong flavor of white pepper -- but white pepper is acrid and not meant to be a dominant flavor in anything. The wings were overfried, and instead of being served with blue cheese, they were served with this near-flavorless sour cream and herb concoction. The chili-lime sauce for the shrimp was far too sweet, and the shrimp were small and with texture that shouts "previously frozen!". The scallops were excellent -- cooked to perfection, no complaints. The artichoke ravioli was a bland, partly due to being under salted and having insufficient quantity of artichoke -- a major disappointment for a $20 pasta dish. Regarding service, our waitress somehow interpreted a single order of the shrimp appetizer as two orders, and insisted that she was right! Then she failed to clear our appetizer dishes when she served our dinner. One caveat though -- this was a meal served at the bar upstairs -- I've had much better service at the restaurant on 1st floor.
(3)Jay H.
Probably the best food I had while I was in ABQ aside from what my family cooked for me. As is my custom I try to make reservations with Open Table via their app or from Yelp. When we arrived roughly 15 minutes early for our dinner experience the hostess greeted us and said our table was already prepped (it wasn't super busy). I have to say I really enjoyed the ambiance and decor of this place. There was a more private wine room setup at the far end that looked really cool and the upstairs has a deck for when the temperature gets above negative 8 gazillion degrees. They brought out some decent bread and butter to munch on while we figured out our dinners. I order some steaky deliciousness and my family ordered... food... who cares. I didn't eat their food! Who is writing this review anyways?! My steak was just slightly undercooked which is perfectly fine by me. I'd rather have more red in my steak than a blackened charred outside with grey innards. Mooooo! My steak with cheesy goodness on top was delicious. It was a downright tasty spectacle having a dance party with my taste buds. The odd thing regarding my steak... is they never brought me a steak knife and our server disappeared for a bit after our food was brought out. I used the butter knife that was presented with the rest of my utensils upon seating and it did the trick; the fillet was pretty much ready to get devoured as is. Our server was pretty dang good. He was attentive enough without being overbearing and did a good job of keeping on top of our beverages. For the most part I'd say this was a good dining experience with pretty good food. It's definitely a step up from most of the other restaurants I tried while on my Christmas trip. I'm a fan.
(4)Gretchen D.
It was fine but I felt the flavor was lacking. Service was excellent and friendly. The room is attractive. Q\was there with a group of 8. Everyone was satisfied but I didn't feel anything blew things away. I had the chili relleno and it was very bland. Same with Cesar salad. It wasn't bad--just bland.
(3)Damon T.
I used to visit the upstairs bar at Seasons somewhat regularly when I lived in the area. I've been to the fancy downstairs restaurant and it was great, but I'm really reviewing the bar upstairs. It's a nice somewhat-patio bar (the open air part is pretty small and sectioned off in the winter that looks out onto old town. My wife and I would usually head down for a late bite and drink, as we'd had one of our first dates here and they served food late. It's usually pretty packed on Friday and Saturday nights from happy hour on, but is not a late night spot. Because of this, they run a late-night "happy hour" on food and some drinks from 9-close. The food selection is "upscale bar food"; the frito misto/calamari is pretty good though it seems like it needs something, I'm just not sure what. I usually go for the popcorn shrimp, which are served with a chili-lime dipping sauce, and the fish tacos, which have a good mix of cabbage and mango. The beer selection is good but not very big. There's usually a few "craft" beers in rotation.
(4)Ashley E.
So, I am usually skeptical of peoples' reviews when they complain about their steak being too rare or there being "too much" bleu cheese on their steak. I mean...how can a steak be too rare or the presence of lots of bleu cheese be unpleasant? Well, sirs (& madames), I stand corrected. I am definitely not going to complain about my steak coming out a little too rare (because I still think it's delicious unless it's sitting in front of me moo-ing.) But the bleu cheese "crust" was definitely overwhelming. Also, their seasonal soup (a roasted red pepper bisque) was absolutely SUB PAR. It was soooo watery and tasteless. Personally, I think a bisque should coat your tongue in lusciousness, but who asked me? I told my server about the soup and she returned moments later to inform me that I was absolutely right and that they wouldn't be serving it for the rest of the night. We had the pumpkin bread pudding for dessert and without trying to sound like a jerk--I've made better at home. All things considered, the meal was pretty tasty but in American standards the portions were petite considering the cost. That plus the punch-you-in-the-face bleu cheese and anemic bisque makes me think twice about revisiting this local grill.
(2)Alex R.
Seasons, for me, is very hit or miss. Their Parmesan crusted chicken breast is wonderful...Most of the time. Last night we ended up sitting upstairs at their rooftop bar, which is way more casual than the dining room down stairs. The food was really mediocre and the siracha shrimp street tacos were almost too hot to eat. Their fresh mozzarella caprese salad was super wonderful, whoever. Drinks are pricey and mine tasted like hairspray. Overall, there are better places in town to get a nice meal. Season's used to be one of my favorites, but they're slipping.
(3)Lyssa D.
My husband and I eat here pretty often. It's sort of our easy go to place when we want a burger and a beer. We typically sit upstairs in the bar, but if we come in for lunch, we will have our burger downstairs. I really think they have one of the best burgers in town and it's affordable. We do eat other things here also, but the burger is my favorite thing, or maybe the salmon salad... It's a nice place to get a good glass of wine also.
(4)Sarah S.
If you have food allergies, do not come here. This is a hard review to write because we wanted to love this place. So my SO has a food allergy to dairy. Yes, you read that right ALLERGY, not lactose intolerance. Epipen, ER, whole nine yards. Well, SO's family was in town and decided to go to a more upscale place. Decor was fine, food was fine for those who could eat here. When we first sat down, while we were taking our menus we alerted our waiter to our allergy issue and that we needed some help with what we could eat off the menu. He said no problem, they do it all the time. So we ordered drinks and started looking through the menu. Waiter came back, needless to say nothing on the menu does not include a dairy product (his exact words, "you should be fine, there is only a little dairy") He was all huffy when asked specific questions to go ask the chef about certain dishes and their ingredients and made the whole experience awful. SO ended up with a dry salad consisting of spinach, a couple tomatoes and a few apple slices. No dressing. They were not even willing to cook a dry chicken breast for him so he could have some protein and fill out the salad into a complete meal. While my meal was good, the rest of the family enjoyed their meals I ended up having to come home and cook a meal. A disappointing experience as other restaurants in the same class have always been super accommodating, mixing and matching off of several plates or making a protein with no sauces etc. so that he can enjoy a meal out. Quite frankly those in the Chili's and Applebee's category have been much more accommodating.
(2)Lisa T.
This place was awesome!!!! Their food was delicious. Living in El Paso, Texas, we have been born and bred eating authentic Mexican food. When we came to a Albuquerque we were looking for something different to eat. This restaurant was it. The chicken gyro was exquisite and the waffle fries were fresh and crunchy. The angus burger was extremely tasty and cooked to order. The margaritas and mojito were wonderful. Go during happy hour and it's even better!!!
(5)Brad B.
I guess this review will be removed, but I'll write it anyway. Made reservations at Seasons for a recent Friday evening, to celebrate our move into the neighborhood. The wife wanted to sit at the seats overlooking the kitchen, so when I called, the first thing I asked was whether there was any available seating there. Being assured there was, I reserved two seats at the K Bar. We show up right on time, and though the restaurant was about 2/3 full, the hostess asks us to wait while they set our table. I ask, what about the K Bar, that's what we had reserved? Oh, there was a mixup, won't a regular table be OK? No. I made a reservation for particular seating. A glance in that direction confirmed no seats were available there, meaning they gave away our reservation to someone else. That a 2/3 full restaurant had to scramble to make up a table at the time of the reservation pretty much confirms that. From our perspective it wasn't an acceptable situation. Maybe that makes us jerks, but we reserved something and it was provided to someone else. So we walked the neighborhood and had an outstanding dinner elsewhere, where we look forward to returning. Seasons, not so much.
(1)Aimee L.
FOOD: good; nothing outstanding - Atlantic Salmon: with a small amount of orzo pasta and squash; pretty standard - Beef Sirloin: served with a mound of mashed potatoes; crispy onion strings were piled high but were very greasy and did not not compliment the dish; sirloin was juicy and flavorful - Tomato and Burrata Cheese Salad: incredibly simple preparation; very little arugula - Fried Calamari: overly oily; the batter was not done right SERVICE: Good. Our waiter seemed to notice that he served my wine with a piece of cork in it. I didn't say anything because of our company, but it would have been better if he looked before serving it. Still, he was personable and attentive. AMBIANCE: Upscale with flattering lighting. Unfortunately, my seat was near a window with numerous flies swarming around... and a couple flies were dead on the window sill. The active flies would occasionally hover over our food and/or land on us, which was pretty annoying and gross. The flies negatively affected the dining experience. At least we were in good company; otherwise I would have freaked out a little. Overall the food was good, though a bit uninspiring.
(3)Sarah N.
Seasons is one of my favorite places for happy hour! The Upstairs Patio Bar has great food and drinks, plus amazing specials in a relaxed enviroment. The downstairs restaurant offers great food in an upscale enviroment, be sure to check out the wine selection.
(5)Cathy M.
Out-of-this-world, spoken by a true foodie!
(5)Rachel P.
4 of us and one child at dinner. The food was pretty good, not great, and definitely not inspired. Service was good and waiter was very nice, especially when they sent out one of our steaks way overcooked. The only problem was the second steak came out VERY rare instead of mid-rare. They did change a glaze on one steak, with no issues whatsoever. It just wasn't all that tasty of a replacement. People in t-shirts and flip-flops kindof turned me off. I felt like I was at Outback. Disappointing. For the price, I would have preferred Farm and Table or Zinc.
(3)Keira M.
Perfect night for the patio. This is always a good Happy Hour stand by. It is always packed with people on the patio and the bartender comes up with a great Happy Hour special drink.
(4)Richard T.
House made Margaritas, Boddles Gin, and delicious menu. Great place for an after work drink; or a great night. Great place for a romantic night or a night with good friends. The menu selection has something for everyone. The patio is great even in the winter.

During a recent trip to New Mexico I had the pleasure of dining at Seasons ... twice. My girlfriend had her rehearsal dinner at Seasons in the private room. The room is large, lined with windows, and features a wet bar. I would recommend coming here for a special function since the room is spacious enough to have personal space, but feels very intimate. The food was delicious. I ordered a vegetarian stuffed portobello mushroom in a pesto sauce and not only did I eat every bite on my plate, but I attempted to try to finish the meals of my dining companions. (And that ladies and gentlemen is how you make new friends ... eat their food!) The food hypnotized me and I forgot I was supposed to squeeze into a bridesmaid dress the following day. It was worth it. So after such a lovely experience at Seasons we went back for dinner. While I saw a number of families dining here, Seasons has a very sexy, date night vibe. The have a glorious wine list and after dining on steaks cooked to perfection we concluded that Seasons is a winner! Next time I'm in Albuquerque I will be back here for sure.
(5)Ken F.
Definitely a five start experience my first time at seasons. It is pricey but I think that you get your moneys worth. The service was just right. The waiter knew exactly when to check on us and when to leave us alone. When we arrived, they were very welcoming and didn't rush us at all. They even checked our coats (probably the first time for me in ABQ). Both my wife and I had steaks which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sides especially the veggies were special and unique. My side was kale w/ some more exotic mushrooms that you typically don't find in the supermarket. The wine list is also quite extensive and we opted for a couple of glasses of wine in order to try more than one wine. Overall a great experience. Its pricey so I can't see myself going there often but definitely worth it for a special occasion.
(5)Peter M.
Great food and wine, great place. Had lunch or dinner about 10 times during a week of staying for a conference... :)
(5)Jazmine V.
I like Seasons a lot! I've been here a few times for educational dinners for my job. It's pricey, but worth it. I have never been disappointed by the food or the service. The specials are always very interesting and I believe this place is true quality, like it's sister restaurants (Zinc and Savoy).
(4)Amanda L.
Amazing dinner!!! Great service. Arrived early and our table was ready immediately. We had the filets and tenderloin medallions. Tender and flavorful. Would definitely come back if I am ever in NM again.
(4)Khanh J.
Great restaurant! Best chicken EVER!! The lamb shank is very good too. We ate here the day after Forque. Soooo mad that we wasted money at Forque! Here, we had great food and great service!!
(5)Jenn W.
Decided to give this little place a try after reading reviews. It was a cozy intimate place that had a rather limited menu however everything we had was absolutely delish! My husband had a chicken dish and I had a steak - both were tasty and came in huge portions. We also had a tomato soup to start off with which was to die for! It was the perfect atmosphere for a "date night" and we would definitely return.
(4)Michael D.
What a great experience. Reservations at 8:30 but arrived early (30 mins). We were seated right away with no fuss. Had a fantastic Margarita (Traditional) after being advised by Lizzie our server. On to the "Pecan Crusted Relleno" - delicious! For entres, I had the Filet (paired with a Pinot ), & the wife had the pumpkin ravioli. Absolutely wonderful. We finished with desert; a crem brûlée covered brownie kinda thing. Good but not great. I need to mention Lizzie our server again. A real PRO! Attentive, knowledgeable, prompt and polite. She made a great dinner a great experience.

We came here on a Sunday night, after driving around half of downtown ABQ looking for something to eat. It was about 8 or so, and everything was closed. We based our decision on the reviews, and since it was apparently the only thing open, and right by our hotel, we splurged. We had the choice to sit downstairs, or upstairs. Downstairs is pretty, white tablecloths, dressy, formal portion. It has the "downstairs menu," which is the better of the two menus. Ravioli, steaks, salmon, $20 or so a plate. The upstairs is cantina/ sports bar style. It too has it's own menu, which was wings and sandwiches and burgers. AND you can have the downstairs menu too. He ordered the blue cheese filet with mashed sweet potatoes and brussell sprouts, I ordered the parm chicken with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and a martini (peach?). Downstairs menu. Food was UUUUMMAAAAYYYYYZZZINNNG. I particularly enjoyed fine dining in a bar with football. Waitress was wonderful, kept up with us, even though she was the only person working the room.

Seasons is definitely where I take out of town visitors. Here are a few pluses: 1. Parking is always good, close, and free. In the land of Nob Hill and downtown kinda metered parking, when the weather is poor parking is key. 2. The upstairs patio. It's great in the summer and great in the winter- both have a great view of the city and the garage type patio doors open or close dependent on weather. 3. The happy hour. Seriously pretty awesome- great food, always a drink special and a beer special, and $4.75 glasses of wine. Who could ask for more? In summary, definitely hit up Seasons- it's also a great place to network in this "2 degrees of separation" town- I always run into people I know!

I took my wife her for her birthday dinner - reservations were a snap (called ahead) and the service was terrific. The menu features a great selection of items and changes with the seasons! We were treated to the Winter seasonal menu. For our appetizer we had crab cakes and chili relleno (probably spelled that wrong!) which were both fantastic. Would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great place for dinner. It was great!

Good friends, a warm breezy afternoon on the deck. Pretty good beginnings. We were there to celebrate, have a couple of rounds of drinks and sample a few appetizers: chicken wings, street tacos (chicken and shrimp) and the pita and hummus plate. Each was good quality. the green chile chicken street taco was my personal favorite. Here's what I especially like about the place, quality is good to very good in the bar (I've been to the restaurant and it is excellent). The atmosphere is superb and service out of the ball park. One of our workmates toppled over her drink, broke the glass. No questions asked; they replaced it with a fresh new drink. Waitress was very attentive, but not overbearing. view and people watching is grand. Nice place to go on a Friday after noon, after a busy work week.

We visit Seasons pretty regularly as it is a great location for the whole family to meet. Every single time I have been here, I have had an amazingly wonderful meal with exceptional service. Even with the large group that accompanies me, the servers are right on point and friendly. The menu includes options for vegetarians and meat lovers and there is always a special menu that changes out regularly. Visit the upstairs patio/balcony for some lower-key relaxation & imbibing as there is often live music being featured. I usually always get the Salmon (cooked perfectly EVERY time), but when I am in the mood for a good steak, their blue cheese crusted filet fits the bill (also - if you like pasta dishes, their tomato-basil ravioli rocks!). You really can't go wrong here.
(5)Peter S.
Gr8 food! Gr8 ambience! This is a winner... We went today for lunch. The restaurant was full but the server staff was professional and quick. The dining area, restrooms, and kitchen were clean and the bar was full. The food was incredible. Everything was fresh and tasted homemade. We ordered a variety of dishes from salads to burgers to squash pasta w/mushrooms and nuts dishes and everyone was pleased. (We had a large lunch group) Will definitely go back.
(5)Helen J.
I had one of my favorite meals in ABQ at Seasons. I ordered the Spanish snapper which was undercooked (they sent it back to the kitchen without any hassles). This didn't bother me at all since it was sitting in the world's most amazing lemon-sake beurre sauce. I would buy a vat of it, if it were available. What's also nice about this place is the ample offerings of half bottle wines at reasonable prices. I left happily full and curious about the story behind the naming of the 'Magnum Room'...
(4)WindyCityGrl T.
Visiting from Chicago and am happy to write that Seasons Rotisserie Chicken entree was delicious. Perfectly seasoned chicken that was cooked perfectly...it's hard keeping a breast juicy but they managed to very well. The sliced veggies were also delicious.
(5)Robert M.
always friendly efficient service. food is very good ...try the lamb shank...varied beer & wine menu. have eaten here several times over last 4/5 yrs. when in or traveling thru albuquerque..never disappointed. happy trails

A full 4 stars, maybe 4.37, says Alan. We had another magic brochure and when the waiter caught sight of it he told us it was good for the sweet corn griddle cakes, a trio topped by marsala-fig chutney, herbed goat cheese and romesco, one topping per cake. We split each cake in half. Alan's favorite was the marsala-fig followed by the romesco. He's not a great fan of goat cheese. My favorite was the goat cheese followed by the marsala-fig. I've had much better romesco. I asked to see the cocktail menu and our waiter brought it to me. There were a couple of interesting ones. The one I chose was called the Hendricks Experience, w/ Hendricks gin, limoncello something w/ a basil infusion (I forget what and its not online) garnished w/ a basil leaf. What I got was delicious, layered and nuanced, but I tasted no limoncello nor lemon of any sort. I did taste a hint of basil. Whatever it was, I liked it. We received a basket of bread and a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seasonings that included garlic. We split a peach and blackberries salad. It was mixed w/ baby spinach, arugula, cornbread croutons, very mild feta and a sweet basil vinaigrette. It was delivered split and was delicious, although there was not a blackberry in evidence. I ordered a half rotisserie chicken, which came w/ delicious corn spoon bread and a colorful slaw of some sort. Alan ordered a steak, which came w/ julienned vegetables and mashed potatoes, I think. The bite of the steak I had was tender and delicious. My chicken was moist and flavorful. We both liked the spoon bread. I didn't like the slaw, which reminded me of T-Rex's. Service was attentive and unrushed, both by the server and the busser. The experience was more elegant than last night's and we would come back on our next trip to Albuquerque.

Yelp brought us here, and I promised myself i would help balance out the ratings a little bit...for good reason. Their steaks have such odd marination....awful smell, and I could not fathom to even try a cut! To be fair, we had 2 different kinds steak entrees, done in different way, didn't finish either one. Also ordered the grilled sea scallops....I've never met sea scallops I didn't want to eat!! And we thought we'd give it a try with the desserts...worst decision ever. The bread pudding at Wholefoods is way better. Service was great, and that's what the one star is for.
(1)Zoe L.
a great place for patio dining + drinks are reasonably priced, but the food is way too expensive for me (most entrees around $18) and not to my taste. basically i only come here when my friends want to. the servers are usually super busy, but nice; they just don't have a lot of time to hang around your table while you decide what you want.
(3)Ashley B.
Kicking back on Seasons's second floor open-air patio is one of my favorite things to do on a summer night in Albuquerque. The ambiance is fantastic. Seasons has a great menu of inventive cocktails, including one or more that uses green-chile infused vodka. Yum! I'd give the restaurant five stars if they had more vegetarian options. Be ready to pull out your salad fork! They do usually have a vegetarian, pasta option in the downstairs restaurant. (The menu is served upstairs, too, just ask your server.) Even though there's only one entree option for vegetarians, it's usually seasonally relevant and absolutely delicious.

I like dressing up once every new moon with my fiance and going to a fancy restaurant. It's like a once-a-year event! He, however, HATES dressing up for me, so when he does, we always go to a semi-nice place like The Cheesecake Factory. When we were in NM, we decided to try this place since it had so many great reviews. I was kind of worried at first that we'd be all gussied up for a casual restaurant. But no problem at all! This place was absolutely perfect. It's gorgeous on the inside and its located on this little street that may look like a scene from the movies. lol. Maybe I'm just crazy?? Well, the food was great! I had the raviolis and he had the rotiserrie half chicken. The food was really good, better than I expected. And to finish off a great meal, we had the blackberry and raspberry custard thing. It came out looking all fancy and professional and whatnot. haha. Needless to say, we were impressed. Finally, the customer service was great. They were on top of everything and never left you waiting for a refill or to have your plates removed. Everyone was very friendly and would bend over backwards to make sure your experience was nothing short of perfect. NOTE: I made 2 reservations through the yelp website and got the confirmation email for both. HOWEVER, it did NOT show up in their computers, so just make sure if you're going in on a busy night, it might be safer to call and actually speak to someone rather than doing it online (: bon appetite!
(5)Paul T.
Great food. Everything I tried was very good, but my main dish was the braised lamb shank and it was outstanding.
(4)Rick G.
Went to Seasons for a light dinner and chose a pair of appetizers apiece. Mine were crab cakes that were delicious along with a bean and corn soup, served hot with goat cheese on top. The SO had Caesar salad with a side of Mac and Cheese, including bacon. Crystal our server was prompt, attentive and knowledgable. Very nice decor, will repeat on next visit to ABQ.
(4)William C.
So, I have been to Seasons for dinner many times, and recently, for lunch on a few occasions. The restaurant has always come highly rated and as such, I never gave thought to the product relative to expectations. This last lunch earlier this week caused me to think about dining in Albuquerque. First, a restaurant that is excellent should have a staff that is pleasant, helpful, and well rehearsed. Our experience every time has been excellent. From the hostess, the bar tender, the bus boy, to the manager, everyone is great. Our server on this day was Hanna. She was excellent, particularly in recommending different menu items. The food was great. We had a pecan crusted relleno and the seared tuna as an appetizer. Both were excellent. For the entree, I had sea scallops and my wife had salmon. Both were cooked exactly as ordered and the tastes were great. The main ingredients stood out while having some unique parings with preparation methods and spices. For dessert, we shared a pumpkin bread pudding that was tasty. I will go back, and would recommend especially for lunch.
(5)Mary G.
Oh my, where to begin. There were three of us, and we all ordered different meals, tasting from each others' plates as we exclaimed over what we had chosen. Each dish was excellent, but it would take an essay to go through all the salads, entrees and desserts we enjoyed. Let me just say I will fly again four hours over a turbulent desert to have once more the layered flourless chocolate cake/creme brûlée. Two of my favorite treats in one dessert. Then there was the garlic mashed potatoes. Yes, I know, anyone can make this, but these were piping hot and perfectly seasoned. Veggies were young, fresh, and in season. Everything else was excellent with no exceptions. Our server Allyson, and her assistants were attentive and friendly just to the right degree. It was an altogether satisfying meal and evening. I recommend it heartily.

We happened to be in ABQ and came here for dinner because, as the rest of our NM/AZ adventure goes...our first choice restaurant was inexplicably closed. Only, in this case, our first choice restaurant did give a reason for closing - winter break. Anyway, we found the service OK but a bit on the cold side. Our waitress kept pushing the one loan special steak that was left and couldn't really elaborate on much else. I assume it was because it was the end of the night and they were trying to get rid of it? I dunno... Anyway, we settled on the blue cheese crusted filet and the new york strip The blue cheese on the filet was inedible. Wayyyyyy to much of it. The new york strip was fine, but not memorable in any way. We had the chile & chocolate torte for dessert even though we had ordered the special chocolate & hazelnut one. I had a Persphone drink that was delicious - it was like a combination of a cosmo and margarita. However, when I was done with it, no one ever came to over me another or to see if I wanted wine, etc. I found that odd. My husband decided to try the tequila flight, which he received with zero education - not even the names of the tequilas! Isn't the point of a flight to be educated about what you're drinking? Overall, definitely not worth the price, but if this is all the fine dining ABQ has to offer, then I guess there is not much to compare it too...
(3)Mister D.
This was Girlfriend's and my first meal in Albuquerque and within a few bites, we knew that we chose a good first restaurant for what would become an unofficial food tour of Duke City. The menu changes with the seasons and offers much fresh and delicious options. I apologize as I do not remember if anything was organic. Most of the entrees were for omnivores, but vegetarians should be satisfied with one or two of their good side dishes. Girlfriend had the pecan-encrusted relleno, a side dish, for dinner and was gushing over the combination of cheeses in the pepper. I had the maple-duck and it was cooked a perfect medium with the skin crunchy and the meat tender. The seasonal vegetables were mostly root vegetables and were also good. The cream cheese and bacon mashed sweet potatoes however were a revelation and I will steal their recipe for Thanksgiving this year. The staff was excellent. They were quick, informative and friendly. When Girlfriend and I had questions about the food, the city and even other restaurants, everyone was happy to share their own secrets of Albuquerque. I do not drink anymore and so can not report on the wines or cocktails. I can not recommend this place enough.
(5)Ernest M.
I love Seasons. It's one of my favorite places to dine and have a few drinks. I especially like to stop by during the summer (upstairs). In fact, I stopped by on Friday, December 6, 2013, while waiting for my friends to arrive for the Christmas Shopping Stroll in Old Town. I've never been disappointed with their food menu--their appetizers, entrees, and drinks. The food is always tasty, fresh, and flavorful. I've never been disappointed with their food. NOW, however, I feel they need to improve with their wait staff. My past experiences have always been waiting for at least 5-10 minutes before you are acknowledged. My pet peeve is customer service. On Friday, I sat at the table for about 5-7 minutes when one of the wait staff finally asked if I've been helped. He took my drink order and a few minutes later another wait staff came over to take my order. Well, he didn't come to let me know that another wait staff would be helping me. Overall, I digg this place. I recommend this place to my friends. I hope they improve on waiting on their customers...that's my only complaint.
(4)Kara B.
Consistently wonderful. Atmosphere, food, and service are always top notch. Every time we've been (about a dozen) the waiters, waitresses, servers, and hosts have always been very attentive. There are a number of fantastic wines and cocktails on the menu although their seasonal mojito is always great. We have always enjoyed our meals here and their patio is my favorite in Albuquerque because of the live music during the warmer months.
(5)Kathleen M.
Great service, nice wine, good selection of beers. Went with friends for apps and drinks. Lovely night to sit outside. Apps for the most part were terrific. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars was due to the fig & prosciutto flatbread. Bread was too thick and doughy to call a flat bread. Fabulous salads and crab cakes. Great night.
(4)Matt M.
Great Happy Hour specials and upstairs outdoor patio! Server was friendly but overworked. Oak-fired scallops were amazing!
(4)Dave T.
Awesome rooftop bar for happy hour, wonderful dinner date night, great if you're planning on going to Q Bar afterwards.
(4)Lindsay G.
Great, fresh food! Chicken, steak and bread all delicious! Pass on the crab cakes though. Highly recommend it!!!
(4)Mike D.
Just went and had a so-so experience. Deserted on Easter Sunday for dinner. Fish was inedible. Lamb was decent. Drinks were fair. Noise level, for once, was OK. Waitress fair. Have had better food and experiences here in past but it's usually very noisy.
(3)Jim D.
Seasons is definitely one of the nicer restaurants in Albuquerque and it shows. It's modern yet comfortable and the dim lighting only enhances the dining mood. They offer a solid menu but don't be expecting to see any regional specialties. Save that for a local dive elsewhere. All the food dishes were very well prepared and generous. We ordered the antipasto (tasty) to start, pork (quite juicy) and the lamb shank (enormous and supremely tender). There wasn't any vegetarian options so keep that in mind. But then again, that never personally affects me. Service was very courteous, prompt and above all, attractive! The clientele obviously resembles the upwardly mobile demographic of the area, but this place is by no means pretentious. It does attract a tourist crowd but luckily it's not the annoying kind. Some folks state this is one of the expensive restaurants, but I'd have to disagree. The medium price range for an entree is $23 and coming from East coast, that's considered a damn bargain. A bit pricey for Albuquerque perhaps, but totally affordable for the traveler. Check out Seasons for a hearty, satisfying meal. Chances are, you'll be familiar with the type of cuisine and that's not always a bad thing in the land of the almighty chile.
(4)Steve M.
Celebrated a birthday dinner 11/3/2012. Service was prompt and attentive. We has the ravioli, which we both rated fair to good. I made the reservation through Open table. I included a birthday request, nothing complicated. The request was completely ignored. When I explained this to the server, she made it right. However, this is unacceptable for an upscale restaurant. Seasons is no longer on the special occasions dining list.
(3)Laura I.
I really don't like this place. I've given it three chances, and I've never been impressed. Everytime I go it's because someone else wants to go, but I hope to not keep repeating that mistake anymore. This last time I went I had their specialty rotiserie chicken. Nothing special about it for $17. The one at Sam's for half the price is better. And that's for the whole chicken! The others I was with had a ceasar salad, and nobody liked it, or finished even half because it tasted too fishy. The restaurant itself is beautiful and trendy, but the food is not worth the price.
(1)Laura M.
This place is awesome! Atmosphere was unique with candle lit patio, service was excellent, but the best part was the food. I had the rotisserie half chicken and it was absolutely fabulous. Give this place a try, it's worth the price.
(5)Julie T.
Try the filet with the blue cheese crumbles. Great service.
(4)Rick O.
I love Seasons. That's all there is too it. Never had a bad meal there. Plus, the wife and I had our wedding reception here in the back rooms past the main dining room. Everyone was incredibly accommodating, plus the options for the reception dinner were amazing. The setting couldn't have been better for our reception of about 60 people. It has been almost a year since the wedding and our friends still mention how great the food and drinks were. The reception couldn't have been better. Thanks Seasons!
(5)Ed L.
I generally will never give anyone 5 stars because that means perfect every time and I havent been anywhere in the world that meets that standard. For Albuquerque though Seasons probably rates 5 stars. That said, Seasons was one of my hangouts for the last 5 years or so until I moved to Seattle. I have probalby eaten there 50-100 times and had many a glass of wine at the bar. This is an excellent restaurant and certainly one of the top 10 in Albuquerque.For my business I often entertain interviewees from out of the area and invited speakers from around the country and this is a place one can count on to serve a great meal and deliver good ambiance everytime. My favorite...the Parmesan encrusted chicken. Their caesar salad is top notch in my estimation. Steaks are always an excellent bet. Service is always good to great. Other pluses...the upstairs bar is a happening place if you are so inclined. It is a local singles/mingles hangout and in the summer when they have live music the upstairs bar is always jammed and worth going to. Oh I almost forgot...my favorite Seasons concoction ...."The Angry Bee". A margarita made with green chili infused tequila. Ole ! I miss it now that I live in Seattle but fortunately there is no shortage of great restaurants like Season's here in the Emerald City. I will be back to Seasons the next tiem I visit the QuerQue.
(4)Rich P.
Had ribs for lunch here and salmon for dinner. They were both excellent.
(4)Rebecca R.
Nice happy hour..they actually have two a night..at the patio bar. Grilled bread is fantastic and the calamari was nice and tender. Wed. night they have great deals on wine...service is very good.
(4)Maria C.
We arrived in ABQ and by the time we checked into our hotel and wandered out for food, everyplace was closed (they roll up the streets at 9 in Old Town!) but Seasons was still open. We bypassed the white tablecloths downstairs for the more casual upstairs. The menu was limited - we had caesar, wings and calamari. I was all over the wings. mmm. nice and spicy and actually pretty substantial for wings. The caesar was pretty dainty - we like our greens in CA, but I suppose they are hard to maintain in NM (where we didn't find a lot of salady/veggie options the entire weekend). The service started off pretty slow - took quite a while to get a menu. But once the waitress heard Rick's Britty accent and started chatting, we were able to get our drinks filled quickly as well as other recommendations for our stay.
(3)Brandon W.
Seasons offers an incredible atmosphere in the heart of old-town Albuquerque. They offer a great wine selection. There menu is seasonal and offers some great fine dining. Having a vegetarian in the family, they also have several side dishes and menu items that can accommodate..
(4)Allan I.
Great happy hour with good drinks and appetizers
(4)J T.
This place has really good food. Kind of a noisy busy vibe to it, but the food is well worth it. They do some interesting sauces with the food. Nice, upscale joint.
(5)Lucy M.
I came here with my boyfriend and his family on my last night visiting Albuquerque for the holidays, and was told that this was their "special occasion restaurant". My boyfriend tends to have pretty discerning taste, so I was really looking forward to a top rate dinner. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with our meal though. The food was good, but it wasn't quite at the level I expected (or that the prices indicated). We ordered the calamari and baked brie salad as appetizers. The calamari was fine, like you would get at any decent restaurant, as was the salad. I ordered scallops for my entree, which were a bit overcooked - which even my amateur chef of a self knows is always the #1 thing to avoid in preparing scallops. Overall, the food was rich, but for a restaurant of this caliber, the flavors lacked much subtlety and inventiveness. I think you could find food of the same quality at half the price in this city.
(3)Garland B.
Season's is one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. I had the tuna with purple potatoes. It was incredible.
(5)Drew B.
It is 5 pm Time for friday happy hour Bring me booze and food (A good, but expensive, place for dinner. The lunch menu is nice and more affordable, but happy hour it the time to go. It serves your normal bar food taken up one notch. It's a good choice if you're near old-town, because many of the places around there are so-so.)
(4)Shad A.
Little pricey, good portions, superb service
(4)Elaina J.
Good location old town Albuquerque, and it's NOT your typical tourist trap where the food is bad and the service worse. We couldn't get into the downstairs, table-clothed restaurant, but they let us use their menu (you have to ask, if they're too busy you are stuck with the cantina menu). Hubby had the caprese salad (no balsamic vinegar? Are you kidding? The chef is too proud of his homemade mozzarella cheese to sully it with vinegar (it was good cheese, but would be enhanced by vinegar)) and he had the breast of chicken. Both good (after adding vinegar to the salad)! I had the fig salad (okay, but nothing to write home about) and the grilled veggie platter (veggies cooked perfectly, attractively arranged, with nice subtle flavors). From reading other reviews on Yelp, this may well be one of the best restaurants in old-town Albuquerque, and we will likely go here again this trip.... Nice decor, nice clientele, great service, cute bartender. Food's pretty good. Nice, upstairs, patio dining (full moon with a clear sky! Very romantic). You won't be disappointed. I disagree with some previous reviewers -- Seasons is NOT expensive if you travel, etc. The most expensive entree' was the New York Steak at $32.50. It may be expensive for Albuquerque, but definitely within reason given the quality of food and service.
(4)Patrick I.
Great food, friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere. I love Seasons and eat there weekly. The daily specials are what I tend to order most often, but the Rotisserie Beef Green Chile Hoagie is amazing! Highly recommend the restaurant.
(5)Paul S.
We love Seasons, especially upstairs!! Nicole makes one of the BEST margaritas in ABQ, and the entire wait staff (Courtney, Bianca, Robin, Tiffany, Nicolette) are amazing!! Excellent food and environment. The BEST tiaramisu I've ever had! Only complaint is that they remove incredible items from the menu, like the grill cheese. Oh.. we miss that sandwich so much!!
(5)Hiker Chicka e.
Where Albuquerque's beautiful gather. The food is great and the ambiance even better. The upstairs bar/ patio is a little Yuppie-ish. But unless you're in the market for a Sugar Daddy please go upstairs. Really, there is a generation gap between the 1st and 2nd floors. Occasionally a few of the Porsche driving Viagra guzzlers escape upstairs, but for the most part they stay down and enjoy the white linen table cloths. Their desserts are great and the raspberry martinis are to die for. Definitely a special occasion place.
(5)Heather M.
Stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting for the balloon fiesta. This place is really top notch. Clean, crisp and fresh. I had the fish taco's and they were really good. The cost for lunch was 27.00 for two with drinks and everything what a deal for "upper scale". THANKS!!
(4)mario s.
Didn't even get an opportunity to try the restaurant due to the hostess not informing us that the upstairs bar was not a full menu. Upon being advised that it was not a full menu upstairs, it was a minute too late for us be seated downstairs and get the full menu. Overall, the hostess was rude and robbed us of an opportunity to enjoy a highly reccommended restaurant. Our rating is for the service... Too bad we didn't get to try the food!
(1)Geronimo G.
Tasty pasta dish with pork that had too much cheesey sauce. Standard and faultless modern decor, uninteresting menu, good cocktails, great service. In a strip mall. $20 plates, $6 well drinks.
(4)Heather C.
Best margarita in Albuquerque! Real juice...no sweet and sour. So good and cheap during happy hour. I've mainly eaten upstairs, which is always fun especially in the summer with patio.
(5)Luis M.
The first floor dinner menu is over priced, limited in selection and the food is not worth the cost. I do not recommend dinner on the first floor. Lunch is priced right. The menu on the second floor is better priced and more typical for a quick bite.
(1)Genevieve T.
WHAT IS ALL THE HYPE ABOUT?!?!!? I am not a picky eater, and I thought this place was just bad. Although the balsamic-oil-seasoning for the bread was a good idea in theory, it was WAY overpowering. I ordered the squash ravioli for my main course. It came in a creamy sauce and had a lump of spinach leaves on top. IT HAD NO TASTE AT ALL. All the flavors were very muted and very forgettable. I had the Baked Alaska for dessert. IT WAS FROZEN SOLID - DID THEY DIG THIS DESSERT UP FROM THE ALASKAN TUNDRA?!?! The waiter finally figured out how to cut it...with a very sharp steak knife!!! On the plus side, they did offer to make us another one. After the wonderful things I heard, I was really disappointed. I hope I caught them on an off night. On the plus side, the interior decor is very appealing and warm.
(2)Priscilla K.
Bad service and food wasn't worth the price. We ate off the happy hour menu on the patio, waitress disappeared for long amounts of time, brought out the wrong drink, and never checked on how we were doing. The ribs were so chewy and dry. The salad that came with them was soaked in oil. Chicken wings were okay. Mahi mahi tacos were average. For $35, it didn't feel worth it. I won't be returning.
(2)Jackie R.
I have not eaten here often. Most of the time, we go to the lounge portion of the restaurant because you can get good deals on food, and we enjoy their creative drink specials. We recently went with a large group, and everyone got food that they really enjoyed. I split a seafood pasta dish with someone, and I have to say that it was totally tasty and filled with fresh-tasting seafood including scallops and calamari. It cost around $11 for a nice portion. Outstanding. Martinis are interesting, and there's always a new one for you to try. Last Christmas, I got a chocolate-based one that just rocked. It's just a very nice place to relax and unwind. Recommend highly.
(4)Jeanne H.
Consistant. Upstairs and down. Awesome margaritas. Excellent Creme Brule to go with coffee for desert.
(4)Glen L.
A great social scene! Located in the heart of Albuquerque's Old Town, Season's is a wonderful spot to meet friends. The waffle fries are to die for!
