We had dinner at The Artichoke cafe in Albuquerque en route from skiing at Taos back home to New Jersey. What a wonderful... delight! Service is so warm, personable and efficient. Our waiter described the dishes perfectly, recommended choices, and addedthe delightfully fun touch to the overall experience! Thank you, Sam! Food is scrumptious. Every dish is a perfect symphony offlavors. Cream of mushroom soup is a delicate blend of earthy mushroom tastes in a smooth base. Duck breast bypassed my favoriteone at a Hudson valley restaurant near CIA (Culinary institute of America) - the spice rub on the skin adds a flavorful burst.And the lamb ragout is perfect - exploding with flavors and textures, with a bit of heat and a cool touch of whipped ricotta.And the orange-cardamom creme brûlée is a perfect finish to any meal!

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. I found Artichoke Cafe by a Google recommendation based off restaurants I goto and... what was open. WOW. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and it felt like I was a regular, not a first time visitor from out oftown. The food, beyond my expectations. The bread appetizer was amazing. Fresh, soft and the sea salt in the butter. Genius! Ihad the 6oz beef tenderloin and the winter squash. I don't know which one I liked more. Both were flavorful, and we'll beyondexpectations. Not to forget the skills of the bar staff. I had an old fashioned and equally one of the best I've ever had. Kudosto the kitchen, front of house and bar staff. If you're in Albuquerque, this should be a stop for dinner. Read more

We got there on time, table was ready. The host was helpful and friendly. Our server Amanda, was amazing, next time we come back... we?d love to have her take care of us. The food was extraordinary. It was our anniversary and we loved it there so much. Ourfirst time going and definitely not gonna be the last. Their menu is amazing. Read more
Overall, a very good experience! The bread is made in the house and very tasty but I?d like to see it served warm. The beet... salad was OK, but to me it could use a little pop, like balsamic vinegar or blue cheese; it was too bland to enjoy. But theshrimp and grits and pasta were excellent and the sautéed and oven-baked mushrooms were possibly the best I?ve ever had in mylife; seasoned to perfection! I?d definitely go back for more!
