Reviews for Bien Shur in Albuquerque, NM
The view was fantastic. The server was pleasant. But both entrees were under-cooked. And I have a rule about not sending my... food back into the kitchen with a complaint. I'm a guy who can eat anything, but I couldn't force myself to eat the last fewbites of my lobster. My wife's pork loin was overwhelmed with a horseradish sauce that ruined the whole plate. And theunder-cooked pork was flavorless (except for the horseradish). It was a very disappointing meal for the expectation and priceof fine dining. To top it off, I was awakened at 1:30 am by a text informing me that they misplaced my credit card receipt andneeded to know how much I tipped so they could close out for the night, because, obviously, this is the customer's problem inthe middle of the night. Bien Shur was doing just fine before we had dinner there. And they will continue to do fine withoutour business. But we will not recommend them to our friends and co-workers. Read more
We came here on a whim from Amarillo, TX for a date night. It did not disappoint! First, since it was a spontaneous decision we... did not have reservations. The gentleman who was serving as a host asked us to come back in an hour and he would do all he couldto get us in. When we returned he greeted us and had a table ready. As he was seating us, we noticed a table by the window inthe city view was about to become available. He asked if we didn't mind, we could go to the bar and they would call us when itwas ready. Within a few minutes we were seated and greeted by one of the most personable and very attentive waitresses we havehad in a long time. Her name was Adriana. She was quick, professional, funny and made our experience there pleasant. We willdefinitely be back and recommend this restaurant to all of our friends and family. Read more
I hadn't eaten in the restaurant in a while. It was quite impressive. The complimentary foccia and green Chile, cheese bread... with butter and dipping oil in the beginning and truffles at the end were a nice touch! We had the surf & turf, salmon, crabcake, prime rib, mussels, and corn chowder. All were excellent! The server and manager were very nice and accomodating. Theviews and ambiance were great as always. The lounge has a seperate menu for less expensive dining. I will return. Read more
Unbelievably bad service! We sat in the dining room and were told we had to have a reservation to sit there. We moved to the bar... and were not waited on. I asked for someone to help us. A nice lady came over, apologized and stayed she would be happy to takecare of us. We ordered a wine and sat. Pretty sure they were stomping next years grapes when she finally returned with excuses.We finally had to leave. Damn. We wanted to have a nice dinner out. What a disappointment this place is! Shame on you! Read more
The food was good and had a great presentation.Also, my waitress was very attentive.
The food and cocktails were delicious. Every single aspect of service was terrible. We showed up 20min early for our... reservation and were seated 10min after our reservation time. Drinks took 20 minutes at the bar while we waited for our table. The water for our table took 15min. We needed spoons for two servings of soup before dinner, that took another 10. We waitedover an hour for our food in a restaurant that was not over crowded. When the food arrived I expected piping hot and it waswarm at best. My party of 7 was very dissatisfied with the lengthy wait on every aspect of service. There needs to be somesort of management/logistics change; this was unacceptable. Read more
I think it is unfortunate that this restaurant has mistakenly received reviews for other restaurants on the property,... specifically the buffet on the casino floor. This restaurant is at the top of the building and offers pretty amazing views ofthe Sandia range as well as views of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho areas. My wife and I dined here for our anniversary thisevening and thoroughly enjoyed everything. We requested to move tables to get a better view of the scenery and they were happyto oblige. The food was worth every penny. The carpaccio and filet mignon are two dishes I would highly recommend. I made thereservation a few days in advance via opentable and was promptly seated when we arrived. This restaurant was suggested by afriend and I would also recommend it to anyone looking for fine dining on a special occasion. Read more
