Seared Bistro Albuquerque

"This lovely bar is great for a happy hour. The drink and appetizer menu offers many excellent and reasonably priced options. The bartender’s special this time was a well-balanced gin drink with lemon, elderflower syrup, and passion fruit pulp. It paired well with the encrusted baked Brie. Friendly service and welcoming vibe."

"Looking for a GREAT place to eat? Head to Seared. Just had a dinner that was absolutely magical. We stparted with duck confidence egg rolls. There were full of delicious shreds of tender duck, accompanied by a green chile oil that was out of this world. Next course, a cream of mushroom soup. It was super rich, super thick and full of mushrooms. We ordered The Farm, which was a plate of lamb, duck and ell tenderloin. The elk was so tender, It literally melted in my mouth. The red chile demi-glace was so delicious! The plate was served with sweet potatoes and bacon and pomegranate. I could hqve eaten an entire bathtub full of those sweet potatoes. My husband ordered the special, beef wellington. The pastry was crisp, the mushroom tempanade waa divines! Definitely gives Gordon Ramaey a run for his moneu! We also ordered mashed potatoes and green chile risotto. Desert...German chocolate cake. It was so moist and the slice was huge. Needless to say, we had plenty of leftovers. The wine list is plentiful and the chocolate martini literally tasted like a chocolate milkshake. One of the absolute best meals ever! Thank you Seared. Our server waa Ramon and he GREAT! We will definitely return!"

"Tried this place out for the 1st time because we wanted to try a new restaurant. The ambience is chill and relaxing. This is a great place to have a date night. They offer wine (pretty big selection) and cocktails. They had a pretty good selection on their menu and the waiter let us.know that it does change dependent on the season. We liked that because we can have different options when we go again. I usually get a picture of the menu to post, however, if it changes it would be worthless so just go and find out. I do recommend giving this place a try. The food was absolutely wonderful! I had the Cowboy Rib eye with Marrow and my wife had the fettuccine with lamb. Let me tell you, they don't skimp on the portions. Yes the dishes can be a bit pricey BUT we had left overs for 2 meals after so I would say it's worth it. We would go back and order the same thing because it was so good. Seasoning was on point and presentation was great. Every employee we encountered was very welcoming. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered recommendations when asked. I can say we will definitely return and are eager to try some of their other options and we have also recommended family members to go as well. The restaurant is kind of hidden but so glad we discovered it. It's located across the street from Old Town so you can probably walk across the street for a stroll or some shopping after. Roll by and try it out for yourselves. I recommend giving them a call if possible to make a reservation because the restaurant isn't that big so there could be a wait. If you read my review, please hit the like button. Thank you!"

"We were welcomed into our first experience at Seared with, "This is the best kept secret in Albuquerque." and I think the Waiter was right: this steakhouse was phenomenal. I can honestly say that we've never had better prepared meat anywhere...and we're primarily dietary Carnivores. The Cowboy Ribeye with side of bone marrow was perfection and the beef kabobs were excellent with the variety on the skewers being unique too: who knew that pear should be invited to the party?! Seared made our Birthday Date Night special, indeed. Thanks to Christopher and the unseen Chefs!"
