Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Academy West

Can’t say enough about one of the best local restaurants El Pinto Home from work at 6. Hopped on Open Table and made reservations for 7 So nice to have reservations because not all restaurants here accept them El Pinto was still lit up for the holidays when we arrived. Beautiful. With a hot piñon fire burning outside for guests to enjoy Great service with even better food A very special evening

Great service, great drinks, and great food. The smokiness from some of the wood fired entrees was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Amazing food! The 7oz beef tenderloin was magnificently prepared, the mushroom bruschetta and cloth bound cheddar fondue appetizer’s were out of this world! Also the patio does have a spectacular view of the city it is also very warm and cozy!

Our first time in Albuquerque and our second time at Lescombes. The food, wine, and service were all great.

Prompt seating, special in isolated alcove. Excellent menu with varied choices. Ordered drinks - green chile chicken stew, mussels, salmon. Servings were well prepared. Waiter was very good & attentive. One of our favorite restaurants for special occasions!
