The Artichoke Cafe

What was planned as a treat during a cross country road trip became so much more. Service - Impeccable. Meal - Exceptional. Atmosphere - Perfect. Experience left me feeling inspired!

This is my favorite restaurant in Albuquerque. Great food and better priced than other high quality restaurants in Albuquerque. All the staff has always been great and are mostly all tenured.

Weak but tasty cocktails.

This afternoon I stopped in for lunch and for me to post a review about another business in this environment must have taken me a lot because I dont do this. However, what I was told this afternoon after eating the steak frites was absolutely absurd. I very politely asked for them to warm my food up, it was cold. The bartender (who was awesome by the way) said absolutely and apologized. About five minutes later, the manager walked back with the same plate of food and told me he could do an entirely new steak, but he wouldnt promise it would be warm. I asked why not, and his response is that they rest their steaks (apparently in the cold?) so they lose their temperature. I clarified 3 different times after he told me their steaks arent served warm. There was no misinterpretation because I was very specific in my questions because I couldnt believe what he was saying. I told him if I cannot get a steak that was warm that to just refund my money. After that, the waitress walked up without knowing anything that had been discussed and asked if he was getting me a new steak. I let her know that hat was said and she assured me that this couldnt be the case to which I agreed that it was absurd. The manager walked away without saying another word and brought me a bill for the coke and soup which I paid and left a tip for the waitress as it wasnt her fault. Very disappointing to a place Ive gone for a long time.
