Reviews for D.H. LESCOMBES WINERY & BISTRO in Albuquerque, NM

Literally picked this place cause we were looking for a spot to eat in Old Town and boy did we get lucky. This place was... awesome and they had gluten free options and a really pretty courtyard. Ethan our waiter was amazing too. What a hidden gem wefound. I had the Summer Berry salad with shrimp with a mimosa dressing that was made in house and it was yum, like legit tastedlike a mimosa and paired so nicely with the salad. My friends meals were also very delicious and paired nicely with theirwines. All in all, perfect find. Read more

We sat in the patio area and the atmosphere was great. This is onewine bistro I would definitely recommend to everyone we had a party of 7 and we waited less than 5 minutes to be seated. Thehostess was very nice. Read more

Wonderful ambiance. I was on my own and sat at the bar for dinner and a glass of wine. Had pistachio pesto pasta with shrimp and... a glass of semillon. The pasta was very good, but I probably shouldn't have added the shrimp - too far inland. The wine was agreat pairing with the pasta. The bartender was great and made me feel comfortable. Read more

I love this restaurant. Always treated so well and Trina did a nice job as our server. A complimentary taste of wine with bread... and sample of appetizers was more than generous and delicious. Loved the pot roast and wine. We will be returning. Read more

I had goofed and made reservations for the wrong night , despite this they were very accommodating and got us in anyhow . We... tried a total of 6 wines all excellent .We started with a Brussels sprout appetizer- delicious . I ordered the meatloaf andwas not disappointed and I’m a person who never orders meatloaf !! My partner had the braised pot roast and it melted in yourmouth . The manager even gave up the recipe for the chipotle mango glaze on the meatloaf . Wonderful experience . Read more

I remember when this was St Claire Winery, and its still along the same line as that. The host staff was a bit rough around the... edges, maybe just having a bad day? Definitely not the personable type. The waiter was great though, and overall had a goodexperience. Great place for wine drinkers. Read more

My partner and I had seen the stellar reviews for this restaurant and decided to go out for a nice dinner. Everything started... out well but tapered off promptly. The downfall happened to be the service, unfortunately. It was about 20-30 minutes afterbeing seated before finally getting water and the first portion of our order taken, which included the wine flight and bakedBrie. The presentation of the appetizer was great and it tasted quite delicious. The wines were also quite good but the winewe wanted for dinner they had run out of, which was a shame as we were also looking to take a bottle with us. A while later,after flagging someone down, our dinner order was taken. The food came out promptly, and so that was a nice change to howslowly things were moving previously. I had ordered the pecan crusted chicken with vegetables and I was not disappointed. Shehad ordered the spicy seafood carbonara, which was also delicious and a sizable proportion. The service then turned again andit wasn’t until we flagged someone down about 40 minutes later to get our bill so we could head out. The night was a littlebusier earlier on but had wound down so the slow service and lack of water/wine refills felt a bit inexcusable. The level ofstaff for the number of occupied tables appeared to be adequate and so it seemed peculiar that it was the case with how servicewas sluggish. Overall, the food is fantastic but the lengthy waits and needing to flag someone down to get service brought theexperience down. Hopefully this turns around to make this a phenomenal restaurant, we’d love to give them another visit if inAlbuquerque again. Read more

Came here to have a late lunch and was greeted immediately by the host. The inside decor was very nice and included a wine bar... near the front entrance. Upon being seated we were offered a wine sampling by the waiter along with bread and herb butter.Because I was eating late my party and I split an appetizer and an entree salad. Everything tasted wonderful (the steak wascooked perfectly) and our waiter was so attentive. I definitely will come back for dinner and dessert and to try some of thewine pairings. Read more
