This casual bistro, with a sun-drenched patio, features French country cuisine, local wine and live jazz. It's a cozy environment to enjoy mac and cheese.
A customer review: “First time here since the name change, from St Clair, so a while. Same family. Friends invited us to live music. The music was great. We sat on the patio. When we called, the staff said we didn't need reservations, when we arrived staff asked if we had reservations, luckily we got a nice patio seat, just funny. Plenty of food options and they pair the food with a suggested house wine. Interestingly enough most dishes are paired with their Pinot, which tonight, they were out of..... Food was excellent. From the appetizers to main dishes. Definitely coming back and would recommend.”

Pro tip: per customer reviews you may want to order your mac and cheese on the side if you’re not a fan of other items being served atop this dish.
A customer review: “Fantastic food, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The green chili burger is amazing! The loaded fries and mac-and-cheese are great picks, too. If you don't know what level of pepper to get, ask for "Christmas on the side."

With two locations in Albuquerque, this Irish stalwart features a long bar-food menu, quiz nights, low-key live music and an outdoor patio. It’s a lively spot to enjoy this classic favorite.
A customer review: “Friendly, highly attentive wait staff, with a wide variety of options to eat and drink. Lots of free parking at the front door for customers. The background music was at low enough volume that you could comfortable talk with a group of friends for hours and clearly hear what they said to you. Food came out hot and fresh and tasted good. Reasonable, affordable prices for food. Spotless clean large, multiple stall restrooms with no line to use the restroom. No line for a table inside. And outdoor patio seating was also available. Well decorated interior with local stuff.”
