Best Fun Restaurants in New Mexico

This is the BEST place in New Mexico to relax with a perfectly balanced cocktail while munching on tasty scallops or other fare, while listening to beautiful jazz and songbook standards performed live by musicians that know and live the music. I haven’t found any other place in the state that feels so good to me, and I’ll keep looking, but always come home to Teddys.

We went on a Thursday night as a couple for a celebratory dinner. It was fun being greeted by Eddie the Gangster and hearing his story. The place was crowded but they got us a table close to the time of our reservation. You wait in the car until they text you that the table is ready. There was live, gentle guitar music being played and we enjoyed it all through dinner. We shared the crab cakes, a bottle of red wine, the filet mignon with baked potato and green beans, and a cinnamon roll cake for dessert. The server was attentive and pleasant. Very nice evening out. We'll be back!

Once again, an almost perfect evening. Service was good. Bordeaux was excellent. Steaks were grilled to perfection and the flavor was to die for. Spinach, sweet potatoes and mushrooms complimented the meats. Desserts delicious. Will come again.

I had the gnocchi and added chicken for protein. The dish came mixed with green beans and asparagus but was only supposed to have green beans. The chicken was tender but lacked flavor and was on the edge of being dry. There was minimal sauce and had too many vegetables to protein/gnocchi ratio. My boyfriend had the hangar steak and he said it was great. The noise level in the restaurant was very loud to the point we couldn’t speak to each other during the meal. Out of all the M’tucci’s this was my least favorite. I will give them another chance because I understand they were busy.

The fondue was absolutely divine! Each bite was packed with flavor, and the variety of dippings made it even more enjoyable. The cheese fondue was a highlight, perfectly creamy and seasoned. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations. They truly made us feel special and ensured our experience was seamless. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening. The dim lighting and cozy seating created an intimate setting that made our date feel From start to finish, our night at The Melting Pot was unforgettable. The combination of fantastic food, attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere made for the perfect date night. We can't wait to come back!
